Expansion of Digital Assets Treasury Strategy to Include Solana

Vault Ventures plc (AQSE:VULT), a London based technology developer focused on blockchain and fintech innovation, is pleased to announce the inclusion, going forward, of Solana in its digital assets treasury strategy to support its operating business.

Expansion of Digital Assets Treasury Strategy to Include Solana

Building on the successful introduction of Ethereum and Bitcoin as core components of its treasury policy, Vault will include Solana into its strategic digital asset holdings moving forward. Solana is recognised for its high-performance blockchain platform and growing ecosystem, offering additional diversification and growth potential for the Company's treasury strategy.

The Board believes that the introduction of Solana further strengthens the Company's commitment to a diversified and forward-looking approach to capital management. It marks the next step in enhancing Vault's digital asset strategy.

Chair Brian Stockbridge commented:

"Vault's expanded treasury strategy, which will incorporate Solana alongside Ethereum and Bitcoin, demonstrates our commitment to innovation and long-term value creation and will support the operations and growth of the business. We remain focused on disciplined growth, both organically and through strategic acquisitions."
