Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – January 24, 2023) –  Cypherpunk Holdings Inc. (CSE: HODL) (OTC Pink: CYFRF) (the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it intends to commence a normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB“), under which it may purchase up to 8,003,535 common shares of the Company over a period of one year (the “NCIB Period“), representing approximately 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares, with up to 3,201,414 common shares of the Company purchasable over any 30-day period within the NCIB Period, being 2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. The NCIB is expected to commence on or about January 25, 2023, and will continue until the earlier of January 24, 2024, or the date by which the Company has acquired the maximum number of common shares which may be purchased under the NCIB.

All common shares purchased under the NCIB will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the Canadian Securities Exchange at the prevailing market price of the common shares at the time of purchase, and shall be duly cancelled and returned to treasury.

The Company believes that the market price of the common shares may not fully reflect the value of its business and prospects, and as such it believes that purchasing its own common shares for cancellation is an appropriate strategy for increasing long-term shareholder value and represents an appropriate use of the Company’s financial resources. The Company intends to appoint Canaccord Genuity as its broker to conduct the NCIB transactions on its behalf.
