Reporting
Tap intends to introduce regular updates on the value and yield generation of the reserve's holdings. Further information on the reporting programme will be announced in due course. Investors can also track the Group's DAIS treasury holdings at investor.withtap.com.
Arsen Torosian, Chief Executive Officer of Tap Global, commented:
"When prices pulled back, we did what the DAIS is built to do: bought again. We have doubled our Bitcoin and Solana holdings and added to our Ethereum position, taking advantage of recent market weakness to average down our acquisition costs and increase our investors' exposure to these leading digital assets at attractive entry prices. This positions shareholders to benefit from any subsequent recovery in crypto asset valuations through the accessibility of a publicly listed equity investment that also generates income on its holdings. Unlike the hold-only treasuries, every coin in DAIS is put to work through Tap Earn, so we never have to sell the reserve to fund the business."
Comment re Binance
The Board notes recent developments involving Binance, including a reported major security breach, and confirms Tap has no exposure to Binance. The Company's crypto assets are held under established custody arrangements and risk controls, with no impact on the Digital Asset Income Strategy or the Group's operations.
Important notes
Cryptoasset values are volatile and may fall as well as rise. Yields are variable and not guaranteed and may fall to zero. Deploying the reserve carries counterparty, custody, liquidity and collateral risks, including liquidation risk on collateralised borrowing. Staking carries additional risks, including lock-up periods and validator performance. The risk factors relating to DAIS are set out at investor.withtap.com. This announcement does not constitute investment advice or a financial promotion of the Tap Earn programme.
