Use of Proceeds
Net proceeds will be used to fund ongoing operations and initiate the Company's newly approved Bitcoin ("BTC") Treasury Reserve Strategy, aligning Cel AI with the growing cohort of public companies integrating digital assets into corporate treasury management.
The Board notes that a growing number of publicly listed companies-including MicroStrategy, Tesla and Block-have successfully integrated Bitcoin into their treasury policies as a long-term store of value and inflation hedge. By adopting a similar approach, Cel AI aims to diversify its balance sheet and enhance capital-allocation flexibility.
UK-listed Smarter Web Company plc has incorporated a Digital Asset Treasury Policy, accepting Bitcoin for client payments and crediting the move with accelerating organic growth while underpinning its acquisition strategy. Further afield, Tokyo-listed Metaplanet Inc. has accumulated more than 5,000 BTC and delivered a year-to-date treasury yield of over 120 percent after establishing a dedicated U.S. subsidiary to expand its reserve. These examples reinforce the Board's conviction that a disciplined Bitcoin strategy can create tangible shareholder value.
"The early success of pioneers such as Smarter Web Company and Metaplanet shows that thoughtful Bitcoin treasury management can strengthen the balance sheet and signal technological leadership. We intend to follow a similarly prudent path as we execute Cel AI's growth plans," said Olivia Edwards, Board Chair.
