BTC Purchase and Investment in Vaultz Capital
Strategic Investment in Vaultz Capital and further BTC Purchase see Hamak expand its Bitcoin Treasury Strategy
Hamak Strategy Limited (LSE: HAMA / OTCQB: HASTF) a company combining traditional gold exploration in Africa with A Digital Asset Treasury Management strategy, is pleased to announce the acquisition of three Bitcoin and a strategic equity position in Vaultz Capital as part of its broader capital allocation and treasury management strategy.
Highlights
· Number of Bitcoin Purchased (on 18 February 2026): Three
· Average purchase price: £50,000 per Bitcoin
· Total amount purchased: £150,000
· Total Bitcoin held: 26
· 6,500,000 shares purchased in Valutz Capital, representing 3.05% of issued capital
Chief Strategic Officer and Executive Director Mike Murphy commented:
"These transactions reflect the continued execution of Hamak's Bitcoin treasury strategy in a disciplined and shareholder-focused manner. By combining direct ownership of Bitcoin, held securely through Archax, with a strategic stake in Vaultz Capital, we are building exposure to both the underlying asset and now to the UK listed Bitcoin treasury companies where we believe there is clear scope for consolidation and pro-active material value recognition
"We believe this dual approach gives Hamak a differentiated public market position and reinforces our ambition to build a forward-looking company with intelligent exposure to the digital asset sector."
Treasury Purchases
On the 18th February 2026 Hamak purchased a further three Bitcoin for a total price, including commissions, of £150,000, to bring the Company's total holdings to 26 Bitcoin. The Bitcoin was purchased via the Company's FCA-regulated digital asset exchange broker and custodian, Archax.
In addition, Hamak has acquired 6,500,000 ordinary shares in Vaultz Capital, representing 3.05% of Vaultz's issued share capital. The investment reflects the Company's conviction in the long-term growth of the Bitcoin ecosystem and its intention to build targeted exposure not only through direct ownership of Bitcoin, but also through selective positions in quoted Bitcoin treasury companies where there may be an attractive discount to the underlying Bitcoin-backed net asset value or mNAV and clear consolidation possibilities.
The Board believes that this dual-track approach strengthens Hamak's exposure to the digital asset space by combining direct ownership of physical Bitcoin with strategic public market investments in Bitcoin-aligned treasury businesses. The Company believes this approach offers shareholders access to both the long-term value potential of Bitcoin itself and additional upside from valuation dislocations within listed Bitcoin treasury vehicles.
The investment is a further step in the execution of Hamak's treasury strategy and reflects the Company's continued focus on disciplined capital allocation, balance sheet strength and long-term shareholder value creation.
For the purposes of UK MAR, the person responsible for arranging release of this announcement on behalf of Hamak is Karl Smithson, CEO and Executive Director.

About Hamak Strategy Limited
Hamak Strategy Limited (LSE: HAMA / OTCQB: HASTF) is a UK listed company focussed on gold exploration in Africa and with a strategy of pursuing an appropriate and compliant BTC/ crypto treasury management policy.
Important Notice
The Company maintains some of its treasury reserves and surplus cash in Bitcoin, a form of cryptocurrency. The Company is not authorised or regulated by The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Bitcoin investments are generally not subject to regulation by the FCA or otherwise in the United Kingdom. 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.
However the FCA considers Bitcoin investments to be high-risk. The value of Bitcoin can go up as well as down, leading to fluctuations in the value of the Company's Bitcoin holdings, and the Company may not be able to realise its Bitcoin holdings for the same amount it paid to acquire them, or even for the value the Company currently attributes to its Bitcoin positions.
The Company's Board of Directors have identified the following risks in relation to the holding of Bitcoin, which are not exhaustive:
• The value of Bitcoin can be highly volatile, with its value falling as quickly as it rises. Investors in Bitcoin must be prepared to lose all money invested.
• The Bitcoin market is largely unregulated. There is a risk of losing money due to factors such as cyber-attacks, financial crime, and counterparty failure.
• The Company may not be able to sell its Bitcoin at will. The ability to sell Bitcoin 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 delays.
• Cryptoassets carry a perception of fraud, money laundering, and financial crime.
An investment in the Company is not an investment in Bitcoin itself, but prospective investors in the Company are encouraged to conduct their own research before investing and should be aware that they will have indirect exposure to the high-risk nature of cryptoassets, including their volatility, and could therefore sustain large or total losses of their investment.
