Ethereum Purchase and Bitcoin Purchase

Vault Ventures plc Announces Major Purchase of Ethereum and Bitcoin

Vault Ventures plc (AQSE:VULT), a London based technology developer focused on blockchain and fintech innovation, is pleased to announce that it has deployed £750,000 into Ethereum and £150,000 into Bitcoin, following the recent completion of its fundraising initiatives. This substantial investment reinforces the company's confidence in both assets as foundational elements of its treasury strategy. Ethereum continues to be valued for its staking capabilities and expanding utility, while Bitcoin is retained for its scarcity and role as a hedge against inflation and currency depreciation.

The following purchases of ETH and BTC were made

○    Number of ETH: 403.373

○    Average Purchase Price: £1,810 per ETH ($2,488)

○    Amount Purchased: £747,838 ($1,027,981)

○    Number of BTC: 1.85606

○    Average Purchase Price: £78,407 per BTC ($107,755)

○    Amount Purchased: £149,517 ($205,496)

The total assets in Treasury following the purchases above are:

○    Number of ETH: 437.843

○    Number of BTC: 2.07606

Chair, Brian Stockbridge commented:

"There was a slight delay in the deployment of funds caused by a slow UK banking system for the receipt and onward transmission of the funds.  The Company has now set up alternative professional banking arrangements to avoid this issue from happening again.  By deploying £750,000 into Ethereum and £150,000 into Bitcoin, we are further strengthening our treasury to support the operating activities of the Company and positioning Vault to benefit from the continued evolution of digital infrastructure. We remain focused on disciplined growth, both organically and through strategic acquisitions."
