As at November 10, 2021, the gross value of the assets of the Company, consisting of Ether, MKR tokens and UNI tokens valued as at November 10, 2021 as well as the Company’s Wyre investment valued as at September 30, 2021, amounted to $263.5 million. On a per basic common share basis, this represents $7.80 of gross asset value per basic common share.

Brian Mosoff, Ether Capital’s CEO said: “Ethereum continues to represent one of the most important technologies ever invented and a once-in-a-generation investment opportunity. Ether Capital is at an exciting and pivotal moment in our journey that is focused on participating in the developments and growth of the Ethereum and Web 3 ecosystem. Over the past few years, we have remained focused on holding the majority of our assets in Ether as they represent what we believed to be the greatest risk/reward opportunity for participating in the technology. We continue to believe that this remains the case for the foreseeable future; however, we also see amazing progress in the underlying technology and ecosystem to enable us to now transition from being a passive owner of our digital assets into an operating business that can generate meaningful cash flow and return on our assets for shareholders. We are focused on technology development with unique IP developed in-house to complement our core asset ownership of Ether. Over the past year, we have worked hard to generate strong revenue streams, starting with the work we did alongside our partner, Purpose Investments, to bring the world’s first Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs to market, in an effort to provide cash flow to offset our operating costs and fund our product development. To enable our next phase of revenue growth, we recently brought leading technical talent in-house to focus on developing our staking technology to generate productive returns on our asset base, and to develop our product roadmap for new products and services.”

“We had a solid and productive third quarter on a number of fronts. Positive market sentiment in the digital assets space led to strong revenue, which grew over 23% quarter-over-quarter. We are currently very well positioned to exceed this growth rate in the fourth quarter. Based on current market data, Ether Capital’s run-rate annual revenue is over $2 million, which is above our current run rate of operating expenses. We have also made significant progress in our ability to participate in Ethereum staking with a meaningful portion of our Ether balance. We look forward to updating the market on this development in particular in the coming weeks,” continued Mr. Mosoff.

In the third quarter, the Company hired its Chief Technical Officer, Shayan Eskandari, who alongside of management will focus on executing our core business strategy of i) being a net accumulator of Ether on our balance sheet and ii) creating attractive positive value through staking and other technology developments within the ecosystem.

As part of management’s increasing focus on Ethereum and infrastructure development, the Company is disclosing that it is undertaking a review of the non-Ether assets currently on the Company’s balance sheet. Brian Mosoff, Ether Capital’s CEO commented: “we are committed to operating and developing infrastructure on Ethereum and our ownership of Ether as well as our plans to stake a material portion of it in the near future means we are revising our focus away from ancillary assets in the ecosystem. Accordingly, we will be completing a strategic review of our non-Ether assets and considering their role in our development roadmap. Where we do not deem an asset strategic to the Company, we will look to divest such asset and deploy the net proceeds from sale into Ether.”

“There is much to be excited about as we move into the fourth quarter – Ethereum continues to be a go-to platform for developers and applications and we at Ether Capital are beginning to harvest the results of investments we’ve made to-date. As a publicly traded company with a material commitment to staking, we believe we provide a unique opportunity for financial access to Ethereum infrastructure,” continued Mr. Mosoff.
