Execution of Heads of Terms with Nomad Fulcrum Builders O regarding the management of the Issuer's digital assets and a convertible equity investment The Management Board of BTCS Spółka Akcyjna with its registered office in Warsaw, Plac Powstańców Warszawy 2, 00-030 Warsaw, entered into the Register of Entrepreneurs of the National Court Register under KRS No. 0000390734, ISIN: PLVKMTK00015, LEI: 259400F1ML9OGF3R9703 _the "Issuer", the "Company"_, hereby announces that today it entered into Heads of Terms _the "Agreement"_ with Nomad Fulcrum Builders O, a company incorporated under the laws of Estonia with its registered office in Tallinn, registered in the Estonian Commercial Register under registration number 16716806 _"Nomad"_, setting out the framework principles for the parties' intended cooperation in two independent areas. The first area concerns the management of a portion of the Issuer's digital assets. The parties envisage that the Issuer will open an account with a Swiss banking institution, into which it will deposit Bitcoin _BTC_, which shall remain the Issuer's sole and exclusive property throughout the entire period of the cooperation. The commercial objective of the parties is to enable the Issuer to obtain financing from the banking institution in the amount of approximately 20-30% of the market value of the deposited BTC. Any decision to grant such financing and the terms thereof shall remain solely at the discretion of the banking institution. The parties envisage that the asset management services will be provided by Nomad Fulcrum Capital SA, with its registered office in Lausanne, Switzerland _UID No. CHE-202.126.104_ _the "Asset Manager"_, pursuant to a separate Asset Management Agreement _"AMA"_, the execution of which constitutes a condition precedent for commencing cooperation in this area. The Asset Manager is licensed by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority _FINMA_ to operate as a Portfolio Manager _gestionnaire de fortune_ under the Swiss Financial Institutions Act _FinIA_ and is subject to ongoing supervision by AOOS - Schweizerische Aktiengesellschaft fr Aufsicht _"AOOS"_, a supervisory organisation authorised by FINMA to supervise independent portfolio managers and trustees. Under the Agreement: _i_ the BTC will not be transferred to Nomad, the Asset Manager or any other entity and will not be subject to lending, staking or rehypothecation; _ii_ the Issuer shall retain exclusive control over the account, the authorised signatories and all withdrawal instructions; _iii_ no investment strategy shall be implemented without the Issuer's prior written consent; and _iv_ the BTC deposit shall be made only after the Issuer has approved in writing the final custody, security and financing arrangements. The second area concerns the Issuer's contemplated investment of up to EUR 500,000 in an instrument convertible into equity interests in Nomad. The parties envisage that, subject to the fulfilment of the conditions set out in the definitive investment agreement, the investment amount will be converted into ordinary equity interests ranking pari passu with the existing equity interests. The Agreement is non-binding in nature and expresses the parties' intention to negotiate in good faith with a view to entering into definitive agreements _namely the Asset Management Agreement and the investment agreement_. It does not constitute an obligation to execute such agreements. The execution of the definitive agreements is subject, in particular, to the satisfactory completion of legal, financial, tax, regulatory, operational, technological and commercial due diligence of the Nomad group, confirmation of the Asset Manager's regulatory status, delivery of a complete fully diluted capitalization table, obtaining all required corporate and regulatory approvals, and finalisation of the documentation with the banking institution. The parties intend to use their reasonable endeavours to execute the definitive agreements by 31 December 2026. In the Management Board's opinion, the execution of the Agreement constitutes an important step in the implementation of the Issuer's strategy aimed at the productive utilisation of its Bitcoin reserves while maintaining full ownership and control over such assets, and may be significant for the further development of the Company's business. The Issuer will inform the market of the execution of the definitive agreements or any other material developments relating to the implementation of the cooperation by way of separate current reports, in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. Legal basis: Article 17_1_ of the Market Abuse Regulation _MAR_ - Inside Information.
