NatGold Digital Closes Pre-Market Token Reservation Program with Global Demand Exceeding US$469M

MIAMI, Feb. 26, 2026 /CNW/ -- NatGold Digital Ltd. ("NatGold" or the "Company") today announced the closing of its Pre-Market Token Reservation Program, following substantial global participation in advance of the Company's inaugural tokenization event and market launch.

Not Gold. Not Bitcoin. The Natural Evolution of Both.

On February 25, 2026, at 11:00 AM EST, the Pre-Market Token Reservation Program closed to new reservations. At that time, 17,466 individuals across 162 countries had reserved a total of 133,518 NatGold Tokens through the Company's pre-market program. Based on the prevailing Baseline Intrinsic Value (BIV) of US$3,518 per token, total gross demand exceeded US$469 million.

NatGold Digital is the architect and operator of a patent-pending digital gold mining model designed to tokenize gold resources that remain securely stored in Mother Nature's Vault. NatGold Tokens are structured to represent standardized unit interests in NatGold Certified Resources, disclosed under internationally recognized geological Technical Reports -- without physical extraction, processing, or movement of gold.

Pre-Market Reservation and Allocation Process

The Pre-Market Token Reservation Program launched as a controlled pilot, initially accepting reservations for up to 25 tokens per registrant with an initial pre-market issuance of 10,000 tokens. Allocations were to be filled on a first-come, first-served basis among reservation holders who complete the required execution process.

As demand exceeded internal projections, NatGold increased the pre-market issuance to 25,000 tokens, also to be filled first-come, first-served. The Company kept reservations open during continued ecosystem development, culminating in 133,518 tokens reserved at closing. Pre-market issuance remains capped at 25,000 tokens; holders who do not secure a pre-market allocation will have the opportunity to participate immediately thereafter in the general market trading phase.

Pre-Market Portal and Execution Process

Reservation holders will be given access to a dedicated pre-market trading portal to register and complete their NatGold Token purchase. The portal will open ahead of the official pre-market trading day, and the first-come, first-served allocation will be determined by the order in which reservation holders complete the required steps and reach ready status.

Pre-market pricing will reflect a 10% discount to the BIV calculated at 8:00 AM (EST) on the official pre-market trading day. That BIV, less the 10% discount, will apply to the first 25,000 tokens allocated; tokens acquired thereafter in the general marketplace will not include this discount. Additional portal and timing details will be shared with the announcement of the inaugural tokenization date and pre-market trading day.

Looking Ahead

"This milestone represents both validation and transition," said Andrés Fernández, Chief Executive Officer of NatGold Digital Ltd. "Participation from 17,466 individuals across 162 countries confirms that the NatGold model is resonating globally. We are now entering the execution phase and expect shortly to announce the date of our inaugural tokenization event, the official pre-market trading day, and the opening of our pre-market trading portal."

The Company also acknowledged the continued efforts of its marketing partner, 78X.

"The global response to this program has been extraordinary," said Jason Freiert, President of 78X. "More than 17,000 individuals have stepped forward to reserve tokens. We look forward to assisting reservation holders as they transition through the portal process and into active participation on the pre-market trading day and beyond. There is strong anticipation, and we are excited to move into the next stage."

NatGold Digital thanks everyone who reserved tokens and supported the Company throughout the development of its digital mining ecosystem. The close of the reservation program marks the beginning of the next chapter as the Company prepares for tokenization, pre-market trading, and subsequent general market participation, subject to platform readiness and applicable regulatory considerations.
