Blockmate expands treasury, acquires 1 more Bitcoin
TORONTO, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blockmate Ventures Inc. (TSX.V: MATE) (OTCQB: MATEF) (FSE: 8MH) ('Blockmate' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce the expansion of its Bitcoin treasury division through the acquisition of 1 Bitcoin, which takes Blockmate's treasury holding to 2 Bitcoin. The new 1 Bitcoin acquisition was funded from Blockmate's existing cash reserves and is now stored with secure wallet infrastructure that has been integrated with Blockmate's audited reporting. The treasury is aligned to Blockmate's conviction that Bitcoin will play an increasingly important role as a strategic treasury asset for companies focused on preserving value and managing risk. In scenarios where Bitcoin prices1 rise quickly, businesses like Blockmate's wholly-owned subsidiary Blockmate Mining could quickly increase profitability by gaining access to capital and rapidly upscaling. As announced on May 27, 2025, Blockmate Mining has secured a site with electricity costs of just USD 3.3 cents per kilowatt-hour — among the most competitive rates in North America. Once fully developed, the facility is expected to support up to 200 megawatts (MW) of mining infrastructure. For illustrative purposes only, based on current Bitcoin prices and network difficulty, a fully utilized 200MW site could generate approximately 200 Bitcoin per month. Similarly, under current market conditions, the site could support Bitcoin mining at an estimated 40% discount to the prevailing spot price2. In scenarios where investees can capitalize on high Bitcoin prices, Blockmate's treasury could provide finance options whereby Blockmate benefits from treasury appreciation and financing income. Justin Rosenberg, CEO of Blockmate Ventures, commented: 'As an incubator of venture projects specialising in the blockchain space, Blockmate is in a position to gain capital growth exposure to Bitcoin, while also building what could potentially be a significant capital facility. Coupled with the Blockmate team's strong track record in building blockchain businesses, Blockmate will be in a stronger position to identify, incubate, commercialize and scale up more innovative blockchain and Web 3 projects.' Blockmate maintains a strict investment mandate for all investees and has no immediate plans to use the to-be acquired Bitcoin for any specific project at current Bitcoin market prices. Subsequently, the Bitcoin will remain as an asset on Blockmate's balance sheet until such time arises or it is divested. Further potential Bitcoin and digital asset acquisitions will be reviewed periodically. About Blockmate Ventures Inc.

Blockmate Launches Bitcoin Treasury Division in Line with 'Mine-and-Hold' Strategy
TORONTO, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blockmate Ventures Inc. (TSX.V: MATE) (OTCQB: MATEF) (FSE: 8MH) ('Blockmate' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce the launch of a dedicated Bitcoin treasury division, further aligning its corporate strategy with a long-term belief in the value of Bitcoin. The division has already been established, with secure wallet infrastructure in place and an initial purchase of one Bitcoin completed. This initiative reflects Blockmate's conviction that Bitcoin will play an increasingly important role as a strategic treasury asset for companies focused on preserving value and managing risk. This development complements Blockmate's existing operations through its wholly owned subsidiary, Blockmate Mining, which is pursuing a 'mine-and-hold' strategy aimed at accumulating Bitcoin on its balance sheet as operations scale. As announced on May 27, 2025, Blockmate Mining has secured a site with electricity costs of just USD 3.3 cents per kilowatt-hour — among the most competitive rates in North America. Once fully developed, the facility is expected to support up to 200 megawatts (MW) of mining infrastructure. While Blockmate does not currently own mining hardware to fully utilize this capacity, this figure represents the long-term potential of the site. For illustrative purposes only, based on current Bitcoin prices and network difficulty, a fully utilized 200MW site could generate approximately 200 Bitcoin per month. Similarly, under current market conditions, the site could support Bitcoin mining at an estimated 40% discount to the prevailing spot price. These estimates are subject to change based on network conditions, hardware availability, electricity pricing, and the market price of Bitcoin. There is no assurance that these conditions will remain favorable or that Blockmate will be able to achieve these projections. Justin Rosenberg, CEO of Blockmate Ventures, commented: 'Holding Bitcoin on Blockmate's balance sheet provides capital growth opportunities for shareholders, as well as liquidity options should Blockmate Mining or future investees seek to take advantage of elevated Bitcoin market prices. These scenarios represent a win-win, enabling the Company to realize value through both operational success and treasury appreciation.' As the Bitcoin market continues to evolve and Blockmate Mining progresses, the Company will regularly assess further treasury purchases to enhance balance sheet agility in parallel with its mine-and-hold strategy. The price of Bitcoin is highly volatile and may decrease significantly over time. As a result, any holdings or treasury strategies involving Bitcoin are subject to market risk and could lead to financial loss. Planned Bitcoin acquisitions are currently under review and will be disclosed through the TSX Venture Exchange in due course. On July 10th, Blockmate provided an online investor update covering the strategic rationale and rollout of Blockmate Mining, which can be viewed here: About Blockmate Ventures Inc.

Blockmate Launches Bitcoin Mining Subsidiary With 200MW Capacity and ‘Mine-and-Hold' Strategy in Wyoming, USA
TORONTO, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blockmate Ventures Inc. (TSX.V: MATE) (OTCQB: MATEF) (FSE: 8MH) ('Blockmate' or the 'Company'), a Blockchain & Web3 venture builder focused on digital asset infrastructure, has launched its wholly owned subsidiary Blockmate Mining, a dedicated Bitcoin mining business with ambitions to become a major player in the North American market. The new entity will pursue a long-term 'mine-and-hold' strategy, accumulating Bitcoin on its balance sheet as it scales operations. Blockmate Mining has secured a site in Wyoming, USA, adjacent to a major power substation, with the potential to support up to 200 megawatts (MW) of mining capacity. The Company plans to roll out operations in phases, beginning with an initial 10MW deployment within the next 6 to 12 months and scaling up to 50MW, subject to capital availability. At full capacity (200MW), the site is estimated to produce approximately 200 Bitcoin per month, based on current network conditions and mining difficulty, which may vary over time. 'Blockmate Mining is a natural extension of our mission to deliver long-term value through real digital asset infrastructure,' said Justin Rosenberg, CEO of Blockmate Ventures. 'With our Wyoming site secured and investor interest already strong, we're positioned to build a highly scalable and capital-efficient mining operation. We're focused on both generating Bitcoin and maximizing its long-term value for shareholders.' The Wyoming site offers an electricity cost of just USD 3.3 cents per kilowatt-hour, among the most competitive rates in North America. The Company intends to hold a significant portion of mined Bitcoin on its balance sheet—seeking both capital appreciation and 7–15% annual yield through institutional-grade custody and yield-generating strategies such as staking or lending. In parallel, Blockmate is actively exploring capital raise opportunities, including traditional equity, strategic investor partnerships, and innovative tokenized financing models linked to future Bitcoin output (hashpower). The first funding milestone targets USD $15 million to activate the initial 10MW, with a follow-on $55 million to scale to 50MW. Over time, the Company plans to spin out Blockmate Mining as a separately listed entity, with NASDAQ as the preferred destination. 'We see a significant opportunity beyond Bitcoin,' added Domenic Carosa, Founder & Chairman of Blockmate Ventures. 'With rising global demand for compute infrastructure, our Wyoming site offers the flexibility to support both AI and HPC workloads alongside Bitcoin mining. Blockmate Mining is uniquely positioned to capitalize on both the digital asset and AI revolutions.' Blockmate Mining is already in early-stage discussions with strategic partners in the AI and data center space, exploring hybrid infrastructure models that fully leverage its land and power footprint. In parallel, Blockmate is actively exploring capital raise opportunities, including traditional equity and strategic investor partnerships. About Blockmate Ventures Inc.
