("B HODL" or "The Company")
Bitcoin Purchase Funded from ATM Sales and Capital Deployment
B HODL Plc (AQSE: HODL | OTCQB: HODLF | FRA: F5S), the first British company founded for Bitcoin accumulation and revenue generation from the Bitcoin in its treasury, is pleased to announce the purchase of Bitcoin as part of its ongoing treasury strategy funded by the Company's first At-the-Market ("ATM") equity offering programme and Capital Deployment Programme.
A portion of the Bitcoin purchase has been funded from proceeds generated under the Company's ATM equity offering programme announced on 4 February 2026. In line with that programme, the Board intends to continue allocating capital to Bitcoin purchases when market conditions provide opportunities to increase Bitcoin per share ("sats per share") for shareholders.
A portion of this purchase has also been funded by the Company's Capital Deployment Programme announced on 12 March 2026, pursuant to which the Board approved the redeployment of a portion of the Company's fiat reserves to increase the Company's Bitcoin treasury and enhance the productivity of its Bitcoin holdings.
The Company confirms that, to date, 240,000 ordinary shares have been sold under the ongoing ATM programme (out of the initial 600,000 share tranche) at a price of 7.5 pence per share, generating gross proceeds of £18,000. The Board notes that the average Bitcoin per share achieved from ATM sales to date is approximately 133 sats per share, representing accretive issuance relative to the Company's Bitcoin per share prior to commencement of the ATM programme.
Details of the purchase are as follows:
● Number of Bitcoin acquired: 1 BTC
● Average purchase price: £54,302 per Bitcoin (US $72,832 per Bitcoin)
Following this purchase, the Company's Bitcoin treasury position is:
● Total Bitcoin held: 164.487 BTC
● Aggregate average purchase price: £82,149 per Bitcoin (US $109,516 per Bitcoin)
● Aggregate cost basis: £13,512,491
● Sats per share: 116.851 (Previously 116.141, as of 20th March 2026)

Freddie New (CEO), said:
"This purchase demonstrates the strength of our ATM programme as a mechanism for accretive Bitcoin accumulation, even in challenging market conditions. We believe this is indicative of market confidence in our model, and note that B HODL is now among the first Bitcoin treasury companies to execute this strategy successfully, establishing a repeatable model for growing Bitcoin exposure in a disciplined and transparent manner."
The Directors of B HODL Plc take responsibility for this announcement.

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.
