ProPhase Labs Board of Directors Authorizes Management to Explore Strategic Reverse Merger and Approves Crypto Treasury Initiative
UNIONDALE, NY, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ProPhase Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPH), (the 'Company' or 'ProPhase') a next generation biotech, genomics and consumer products company, today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously authorized the Company's executive team to explore a potential reverse merger transaction with a digital asset-focused operating company to supplement its existing businesses. The Board has also approved a strategic treasury initiative involving the acquisition and long-term holding of select digital assets, including Bitcoin. This initiative represents management's view that a diversified treasury strategy that includes digital assets may enhance long-term shareholder value. The potential reverse merger transaction the Board authorized management to explore would involve combining with a company that maintains a cryptocurrency-focused treasury management and digital asset strategy. This strategic review reflects the Board's interest in identifying complementary growth opportunities that could enhance long-term shareholder value and broaden the Company's market positioning. 'At a time when digital assets and blockchain-native strategies are gaining broader institutional traction, we believe it is prudent to assess opportunities at the intersection of life sciences and financial innovation,' said Ted Karkus, Chief Executive Officer of ProPhase Labs. 'We look forward to evaluating whether such a transaction could provide a platform for scalable value creation.' CEO Karkus continued 'The beauty of this strategic initiative is that we can potentially create additional shareholder value with a goal of maintaining the vast majority of the value of the existing assets for the existing shareholders. This would include the Crown Medical Collections initiative to collect up to $50 million dollars net to the Company for its outstanding COVID accounts receivable, the Nebula Genomics strategic alternatives initiative, and the commercialization of the BE-Smart ™ Esophageal cancer test.' The Company has not entered into any binding agreement at this time and there can be no assurance that any transaction will occur. Management has been authorized to conduct diligence, engage potential counterparties, and evaluate whether such a transaction would be in the best interests of shareholders. The Company will provide additional updates as material developments occur. About ProPhase Labs Inc. ProPhase Labs Inc.
