David Bailey, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of KindlyMD, said, 'The strong support we continue to receive from investors is validation of our pioneering Bitcoin treasury strategy. We are excited to leverage our enhanced balance sheet and differentiated go-to-market strategy to acquire as much Bitcoin as possible.'
The Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of 0.00% per annum for the first two years, and 6.00% per annum for the third year and is payable on August 15, 2028, the third-year anniversary of the issuance date of the Convertible Debenture or earlier redemption date. The Convertible Note provides that YA II may convert all or any portion of the principal amount of the Convertible Note, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at an initial conversion price of $2.80, which is subject to adjustment and a floor price and maximum number of convertible shares of the Company's common stock. The Company also has the right to redeem the Convertible Note under certain circumstances.
Advisors
Cohen & Company Capital Markets ('CCM'), a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC served as lead financial advisor to Nakamoto and placement agent for the PIPE Financing. 10X Capital ('10X'), through its affiliated broker-dealer, also served as a financial advisor and placement agent.
Reed Smith LLP and Holland & Hart LLP acted as legal advisor to KindlyMD.

Faraday Future Launches its 'EAI + Crypto' Dual-Flywheel & Dual-Bridge Ecosystem Strategy as a Pioneer in AI mobility and Web3 integration, Unveiling the 'C10 Index' and the First 'C10 Treasury' Product Announced by a U.S.-Listed Company
Launches 'C10 (Crypto 10) Treasury' product with professional allocation based on the 'C10 Index' to accumulate and compound the world's top 10 crypto assets (excluding stablecoins), aiming to become the No.1 treasury for this asset portfolio. C10 Treasury adopts an 80% passive + 20% active portfolio allocation model to provide potentially sustainable returns that can fund product innovation, potential stock buybacks, and further asset growth. FF plans to use dedicated financing exclusively for the purchase of crypto assets. First phase of the new strategy targets up to $500M–$1B (first tranche of $30M to be initiated as early as next week) in crypto coin purchases, subject to securing necessary funding; from the mid- to long-term view, we hope that it could reach tens of billions in size. Today FF is announcing the C10 Index ( C10 Treasury, Crypto + EAI Eco Application, and planning to launch the C10 ETF. California State Treasurer Fiona Ma gave a speech via video, expressing her endorsement of the Company's new strategy. A wholly owned subsidiary of FF, named FFAI Crypto Treasury and Bridging Holdings Inc., is being established for the crypto business; also exploring creating an ETF product. Crypto Strategy is designed to help drive FF's leap-forward growth, aiming to become the Vanguard in the age of Crypto, combining real-world mobility innovation with high-growth potential from crypto. The strategy upgrade delivers on FF's 'Stockholders First' promise, aiming to maximize value for stockholders. PEBBLE BEACH, Calif., Aug. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) ('Faraday Future', 'FF' or 'Company'), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, announced that it has officially launched its transformative 'EAI + Crypto' Dual-Flywheel & Dual-Bridge Ecosystem Strategy — marking the beginning of a new chapter in AI mobility and Web3 integration. This bold strategic initiative, which was revealed on August 16 at an event in Pebble Beach, integrates Embodied AI (EAI) with the explosive growth of the crypto asset economy to create a two-way, independently operating circular growth engine between Web2 and Web3, positioning FF at the forefront of the next era in global industrial and financial evolution. A replay of the announcement can be found here: EAI + Crypto Dual Flywheel: A New Growth Paradigm Faraday Future believes that AI represents the next great leap in productivity, while Crypto and Web3 signify a revolution in the relations of production. Together, these forces offer a potential once-in-decades opportunity for transformation — a meta-chemistry that FF aims to drive through its newly launched strategy. 'The next decade could be a super long bull cycle for the crypto market,' said Ian Calderon, FF Co-Creation Officer and Founding Board Member of the California Blockchain Working Group. 'FF is building a dual-engine circular growth system — combining the long-cycle, high-value EAI EV ecosystem with the short-cycle, high-velocity Crypto ecosystem. These two flywheels will empower each other, redefining what's possible in mobility and financial innovation.' 'Today's launch is a powerful example of our state's pioneering spirit, bringing together intelligent electric vehicles, blockchain, and the worlds of Web 2 and Web 3, along with industry, capital and technology,' said Fiona Ma, California State Treasurer. 'This model has the potential to boost our economy, create high quality jobs, attract top tier investment, and advance sustainable development worldwide.' Building the Bridge Between Web2 and Web3 FF's Dual-Bridge Strategy positions the Company as one of the first U.S.-listed public companies directly connecting real-world business operations with on-chain assets. Plans are underway to launch the EAI Vehicle Chain, enabling tokenized vehicle sales, crypto-based deposits, and Web3-native user engagement — while leveraging blockchain technology to create a decentralized and transparent mobility economy. 'The Dual-Flywheel & Dual-Bridge Strategy reflects our deep insights into the future of the global economy,' said YT Jia, Founder & Co-CEO of Faraday Future. 'FF is not just transitioning into a Web3 era — we are architecting it. This is how we deliver value creation for our stockholders.' Introducing the C10 Index and C10 Treasury: A New Crypto Infrastructure for Capital Markets FF also officially announced the C10 Index, a market-cap-weighted basket of the world's top 10 crypto assets (excluding stablecoins), calculated from midnight Pacific Time on August 16, 2025, with a base value of 1,000. The Index will be tracked in real-time on and the FF App. Accompanying the Index, the FFAI C10 Treasury is being launched — targeting $500M to $1B in initial crypto asset purchases, subject to securing necessary funding, with an initial $30M purchase. Assets will be allocated using an 80% passive, 20% active strategy. The treasury is designed to provide sustainable returns, with staking yields estimated at 3%–5%, which can fund product innovation, potential stock buybacks, and further asset growth. FF is also exploring creating an ETF product based on the C10 Index. Crypto Flywheel to Reshape Faraday Future's Financial Structure The Crypto Flywheel strategy, which the Company intends to operate through a wholly owned and independently managed subsidiary, FFAI Crypto Treasury and Bridging Holdings Inc., is designed to enhance FF's income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow. With on-chain assets serving as both reserves and flexible capital, the strategy enables FF to generate stable staking yields, potentially reducing reliance on high-cost financing, and improve net asset value and structure. Structure Ensures Risk Isolation and Transparency FF's crypto and EV businesses are planned to be operated under separate legal and financial structures to promote risk isolation, operational independence, and asset transparency. Digital assets will be held by third-party custodians and will be fully verifiable on-chain. The structure is designed to allow strategic synergies without direct cross-subsidization — while reinforcing each other. With this launch, Faraday Future offers investors access to potential dual benefits from the AI mobility and crypto asset markets. This revolutionary move supports the Company's long-standing commitment to maximize stockholder value in a future-forward and sustainable manner.

Dow futures rise as updates this week from the Fed and top retailers will test Wall Street's big rally
Wall Street is heading into a pivotal week, with stocks riding high on expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut rates next month and signs that tariffs aren't weighing on the economy as much as feared, so far. But minutes from the Fed's last meeting, Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole speech, and retail earnings will put the market's views to the test. U.S. stock futures pointed higher on Sunday evening ahead of a critical stretch for markets as investors brace for fresh clues on rate cuts and tariffs. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 48 points, or 0.11%. S&P 500 futures were up 0.12%, and Nasdaq futures added 0.18%. The yield on the 10-year Treasury was flat at 4.322%. The U.S. dollar was down 0.07% against the euro but up 0.07% against the yen. Gold fell 0.25% to $3,374.10 per ounce. U.S. oil prices dropped 0.27% to $62.63 per barrel, and Brent crude fell 0.41% to $65.58. Energy markets will also be in focus this week amid continued diplomacy to end Russia's war on Ukraine as harsher U.S. sanctions on Moscow could target its oil exports, though President Donald Trump refrained from announcing any fresh penalties after ceasefire talks Friday failed to produce a deal. Stocks have notched two consecutive weekly gains, with the S&P 500 hitting a fresh all-time high last week. That's as corporate earnings have continued to come in strong and as the latest inflation readings were mixed but still haven't set off panic about the effect of tariffs. With the labor market also looking weaker, Wall Street overwhelmingly sees the inflation data giving the Federal Reserve a green light to resume rate cuts next month, further fueling market optimism. But those views will be tested this week. On Wednesday, the Fed will release minutes from its policy meeting in July, when central bankers kept rates steady though two officials dissented. The details should show how much debate occurred and to what extent other policymakers were leaning a certain way. Then the main attraction will take place on Friday, when Fed Chair Jerome Powell will deliver a speech at a gathering in Jackson Hole, Wyo. The annual event previously has served as an opportunity for policymakers to tease forthcoming rate moves. Last year, Powell signaled a pivot to cuts, saying 'the time has come for policy to adjust' and that 'my confidence has grown that inflation is on a sustainable path back to 2%.' But he may not drop big hints this year, potentially setting up Wall Street for major disappointment. Meanwhile, earnings season is winding down, but the coming week will feature several top retailers. Home Depot reports Tuesday, with Lowe's and Target due on Wednesday. Walmart will put out its numbers on Thursday. Their quarterly updates will provide new insights into how much tariffs are affecting prices and who is picking up the extra costs. The precise impact of tariffs on inflation remains somewhat of a mystery. While companies may be absorbing much of the tariff costs for now, it's not clear how much longer they can keep it up and how much consumers will be able to shoulder later. If the retail giants keep eating tariff costs, that will show up on the bottom line and in their guidance. Citi doesn't expect consumers to get hit with big price hikes in the future, even as more levies are expected to roll out. 'Softer demand means firms will have difficulty passing tariff costs on to consumers,' chief US economist Andrew Hollenhorst said in a note. 'While some firms might still attempt to slowly increase prices in coming months, the experience so far suggests these increases will be modest in size. This should reduce concerns about upside risk to inflation and increase concerns that decreased profit margins will cause firms to pullback on hiring.'

Positive Points HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd (NASDAQ:HIVE) reported a record quarter with over $45 million in total revenue, primarily driven by Bitcoin mining operations. The company achieved a significant growth in earnings per share, increasing by 206% year over year. HIVE's strategic expansion in Paraguay has been transformative, allowing the company to rapidly scale its Bitcoin mining operations. The company maintains a strong balance sheet with $24.6 million in cash and $47.3 million in digital currencies. HIVE's focus on renewable energy and sustainable practices positions it well for future growth, particularly in the AI and HPC sectors. Negative Points The volatility of Bitcoin prices poses a risk to HIVE's financial performance, as evidenced by the significant non-cash reevaluation of Bitcoin on their balance sheet. High depreciation charges due to the purchase of new GPU and ASIC chips for AI and Bitcoin buildout could impact profitability. The company's expansion and scaling efforts require significant capital investment, which could strain financial resources if not managed carefully. HIVE's growth strategy involves complex operations across multiple countries, which may present logistical and regulatory challenges. The competitive landscape in the Bitcoin mining and AI sectors is intensifying, which could pressure HIVE's market position and margins. Q & A Highlights Warning!

Q: How is HIVE managing its Bitcoin holdings and what strategies are in place for future growth? A: Aiden Killick explained that HIVE ended the quarter with 435 Bitcoin on the balance sheet and has a Bitcoin pledge strategy allowing them to purchase Bitcoin back at zero interest.

Q: What are the key developments in HIVE's expansion efforts, particularly in Paraguay? A: Aiden Killick noted that HIVE has significantly expanded its operations in Paraguay, completing phase one of their expansion ahead of schedule.
