Application to cross trade on the OTCQB Market
B HODL Plc (AQUIS: HODL), the first British company founded for Bitcoin accumulation and revenue generation from the Bitcoin in its treasury, is pleased to announce it has applied to the OTC Markets Group for its Ordinary Shares to be cross traded publicly on the OTCQB Market in the United States.
The Board believes that admission to the OTCQB would provide increased visibility and accessibility for U.S. investors, enabling wider participation in the Company's growth strategy. Trading on the OTCQB is expected to complement the Company's existing listing on the AQSE Growth Market and aligns with B HODL's commitment to transparency and shareholder access.
Admission remains subject to the approval of OTC Markets Group and the satisfaction of customary conditions. The Company will update shareholders and the market as appropriate.
Freddie New, CEO of B HODL, commented:
"Applying to the OTCQB is a natural step in our strategy to widen shareholder access and increase visibility among U.S. investors. We believe this will complement our AQSE listing and support the long-term growth of B HODL."

About B HODL:
B HODL is the first UK-listed company founded for Bitcoin accumulation and revenue generation. The Company operates a treasury-led strategy, deploying its Bitcoin holdings to power the Lightning Network and generate sustainable revenues from routing fees and liquidity provision. With a world-class team and a Bitcoin-only focus, B HODL aims to become the leading British Bitcoin company, giving investors transparent exposure to the growth of Bitcoin as both a strategic asset and a global financial standard.
Important Notice
The Company intends to hold treasury reserves and surplus cash in Bitcoin. This is a type of cryptocurrency or cryptoassets. Whilst the Board of Directors of the Company considers holding cryptocurrencies to be in the best interests of the Company, the Board remains aware that the financial regulator in the UK (the Financial Conduct Authority or FCA) considers investment in cryptocurrencies to be high risk. At the outset, it is important to note that an investment in the Company is not an investment in cryptocurrencies, either directly or by proxy and shareholders will have no direct access to the Company's holdings. However, the Board of Directors consider cryptocurrencies to be an appropriate store of value and potential growth and therefore appropriate for the Company's reserves. Accordingly, the Company is and intends to continue to be materially exposed to cryptocurrencies. Such an approach is innovative, and the Board of Directors wish to be clear and transparent with prospective and actual investors in the Company on the Company's position in this regard.
The Company is neither authorised nor regulated by the FCA, and the purchase of certain cryptocurrencies are generally unregulated in the UK. As with most other investments, the value of cryptocurrencies can go down as well as up, and therefore the value of the Company's cryptocurrencies holdings can fluctuate. The Company may not be able to realise its cryptocurrencies holdings for the same as it paid to acquire them or even for the value the Company currently ascribes to its cryptocurrencies positions due to market movements. Neither the Company nor investors in the Company's shares are protected by the UK's Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
Nevertheless, the Board has taken the decision to invest in cryptocurrencies, and in doing so is mindful of the special risks cryptocurrencies present to the Company's financial position. These risks include (but are not limited to): (i) the value of cryptocurrencies can be highly volatile, with value dropping as quickly as it can rise. Investors in cryptocurrencies must be prepared to lose all money invested in cryptocurrencies; (ii) the cryptocurrencies market is largely unregulated. There is a risk of losing money due to risks such as cyber-attacks, financial crime and counterparty failure; (iii) the Company may not be able to sell its cryptocurrencies at will. The ability to sell cryptocurrencies depends on various factors, including the supply and demand in the market at the relevant time. Operational failings such as technology outages, cyber-attacks and comingling of funds could cause unwanted delay; and (iv) cryptoassets are characterised in some quarters by high degrees of fraud, money laundering and financial crime. In addition, there is a perception in some quarters that cyber-attacks are prominent which can lead to theft of holdings or ransom demands. Prospective investors in the Company are encouraged to do your own research before investing.
