FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

9 July 2025

Tao Alpha PLC

(To be renamed Satsuma Technology PLC)

Appointment of Leading Bitcoin Treasury Strategist

TAO Alpha Plc, being renamed Satsuma Technology Plc, ("Satsuma" or "the
Company"), a public company pioneering the convergence of Bitcoin treasury
strategy and decentralised AI, is pleased to announce a senior hire in the
appointment of Mark Moss as Chief Bitcoin Strategist. The appointment will be
fully effective from 1 August 2025 and is likely to align with the closing of
the private offering announced on 24 June (for UK investors) and 27 June 2025
(for US qualifying investors) (the "Private Professional Investor Offer").

Mark Moss is a leading voice in the Bitcoin ecosystem, with over a decade of
experience helping institutions and individuals understand Bitcoin's potential
as a treasury asset. Through deep dives into macroeconomics, on-chain
analysis, and sound-money principles, Mark has guided private funds, sovereign
entities, and public companies on how to embed Bitcoin into their treasury
strategies.

As well as hosting various educational segments, Mark is an experienced
participant in the DeFi (Decentralised Finance) community. His YouTube channel
hosts one of the most subscribed Bitcoin-centric channels, with approximately
712,000 subscribers and over 1,300 educational and market-analysis videos. On
other social media, such as X, he engages a community of around 169,000
followers, sharing timely commentary on Bitcoin treasury moves, from corporate
stockpile disclosures to macro drivers.

Mark will work with the Board to ensure full optimisation of the
bitcoin-centric treasury to enable the accelerated and effective performance
of the Company's core business. This will be achieved through the maximisation
of non-dilutive capital raising and generation through the yields generated by
the treasury itself.

This senior hire is intended to be one of a handful of critical DeFi-related
hires by the Company in the run-up to the conclusion of the Private
Professional Investor Offer.

Matt Lodge, Satsuma's Chairman, commented: "The Board is thrilled to be able
to recruit a senior hire of Mark Moss' calibre and influence. Mark has long
been a champion of the Bitcoin sector and his treasury work is as impressive
as his wider impact on the DeFi community as a whole. We will start working
with Mark before his appointment becomes effective on 1 August to  enable us
to execute our ambitious plans for the Company without delay. We are also in
the process of finalising other senior hires, which we look forward to
announcing shortly."
