Formation of Gold Exploration Subsidiaries

 

London, New York 11 March 2026 - London BTC Company Limited ("Company") (BTC:
LSE, VINZF: OTCQB), the London Stock Exchange Main Market-listed bitcoin
mining and treasury company with mining operations across North America, is
pleased to update shareholders that it has incorporated two wholly owned
subsidiaries to support the evaluation of gold exploration and mineral claim
staking opportunities as part of the Company's strategy to introduce gold
alongside its Bitcoin treasury with the sole aim of acting as a hedge within
the broader monetary system, intended to support the core operations of the
Company of mining and accumulating Bitcoin.

 

The subsidiaries are:

 

Tethered Gold Pty Ltd, incorporated in Australia

Tethered Gold LLC., incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States

 

These entities have been established to provide a corporate structure through
which the Company may pursue opportunities related to gold exploration, claim
staking, and early-stage project development in established mining
jurisdictions.

 

Australia and North America represent two of the world's most active and
transparent gold exploration regions, with well-defined regulatory frameworks
governing mineral claim staking and exploration licensing.

 

The Board believes that maintaining dedicated subsidiaries in these
jurisdictions allows the Company to rapidly evaluate and secure prospective
gold exploration rights, and to structure potential partnerships, joint
ventures, or project-level investments where appropriate.

 

Gold has historically served as a store of value alongside Bitcoin, and the
Board believes that selective exposure to early-stage gold opportunities
provides a complementary hard-asset dimension to the Company's broader
strategy.

 

The Company confirms that no material acquisitions or binding agreements have
been entered into at this time, and further announcements will be made as
appropriate.

 

 

Hewie Rattray, CEO of the Company stated.

 

"Alongside our Bitcoin treasury strategy, we see selective exposure to gold
opportunities as a logical extension of our focus on scarce hard assets. Gold
has historically acted as a hedge within the broader monetary system, and the
creation of Tethered Gold in Australia and Nevada provides the Company with a
platform to evaluate and secure gold exploration opportunities in two of the
most active mining regions in the world."

 

The directors of London BTC Company Limited accept responsibility for this
announcement.
