Benefits of Accepting Crypto Payments

• 
  
  Cost Efficiency Through Bitcoin and XRP Integration

37% less

, enhancing operational efficiency, aligning with global trends toward digital asset adoption and delivering increased value to shareholders and customers alike.

• 
  
  Capitalizing on Pro-Crypto Momentum
  
  

The global shift toward pro-cryptocurrency policies and the increasing likelihood of Bitcoin exchange traded fund approvals have heightened the appeal of digital assets. These developments bolster Bitcoin's reputation as an inflation-resistant store of value, making it an attractive asset for corporate treasuries. Bitcoin, often dubbed "digital gold," has evolved into a globally recognized store of value, offering unparalleled transparency,

liquidity

, and decentralization. XRP, with its fast and low-cost cross-border transaction capabilities, complements Bitcoin in reshaping the financial ecosystem

CEO Commentary

Rossi adds: "As Bitcoin and XRP continue to gain investor attention and acceptance as major asset classes, we believe they may serve as strong treasury reserve assets. Their

inflation-resistant

characteristics make them increasingly reliable stores of value. By strategically allocating a portion of our treasury to these digital assets and accepting crypto payments, we're enhancing our financial strategy and aligning ourselves with the future of global finance. With our core business growing rapidly and new products launching soon,

diversifying our treasury complements our strong projected growth

. We believe this move will strengthen our balance sheet and provide long-term value to our shareholders."
