Important Notice
The Company intends to hold treasury reserves and surplus cash in Bitcoin,
Ethereum, Solana and Bittensor. These are types of cryptocurrencies or
cryptoassets. Whilst the Board of Directors of the Company considers holding
cryptocurrencies to be in the best interests of the Company, the Board remains
aware that the financial regulator in the UK (the Financial Conduct Authority
or FCA) considers investment in cryptocurrencies to be high risk. At the
outset, it is important to note that an investment in the Company is not an
investment in cryptocurrencies, either directly or by proxy and shareholders
will have no direct access to the Company's holdings. However, the Board of
Directors consider cryptocurrencies to be an appropriate store of value and
potential growth and therefore appropriate for the Company's reserves.
Accordingly, the Company is and intends to continue to be materially exposed
to cryptocurrencies. Such an approach is innovative, and the Board of
Directors wish to be clear and transparent with prospective and actual
investors in the Company on the Company's position in this regard.
The Company is neither authorised nor regulated by the FCA, and the purchase
of certain cryptocurrencies are generally unregulated in the UK. As with most
other investments, the value of cryptocurrencies can go down as well as up,
and therefore the value of the Company's cryptocurrencies holdings can
fluctuate. The Company may not be able to realise its cryptocurrencies
holdings for the same as it paid to acquire them or even for the value the
Company currently ascribes to its cryptocurrencies positions due to market
movements. Neither the Company nor investors in the Company's shares are
protected by the UK's Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services
Compensation Scheme.
Nevertheless, the Board has taken the decision to invest in cryptocurrencies,
and in doing so is mindful of the special risks cryptocurrencies present to
the Company's financial position. These risks include (but are not limited
to): (i) the value of cryptocurrencies can be highly volatile, with value
dropping as quickly as it can rise. Investors in cryptocurrencies must be
prepared to lose all money invested in cryptocurrencies; (ii) the
cryptocurrencies market is largely unregulated. There is a risk of losing
money due to risks such as cyber-attacks, financial crime and counterparty
failure; (iii) the Company may not be able to sell its cryptocurrencies at
will. The ability to sell cryptocurrencies depends on various factors,
including the supply and demand in the market at the relevant time.
Operational failings such as technology outages, cyber-attacks and comingling
of funds could cause unwanted delay; and (iv) cryptoassets are characterised
in some quarters by high degrees of fraud, money laundering and financial
crime. In addition, there is a perception in some quarters that cyber-attacks
are prominent which can lead to theft of holdings or ransom demands.
Prospective investors in the Company are encouraged to do your own research
before investing.
