TORONTO, July 14, 2025 /CNW/ - DeFi Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "DeFi Technologies") (Nasdaq: DEFT) (CBOE CA: DEFI) (GR: R9B), a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance ("DeFi"), is pleased to announce announced a significant milestone for its wholly owned subsidiary, Valour Inc. ("Valour"), and its corporate Bitcoin treasury.

As of July 13, 2025, Valour has achieved an all-time high of US$302,000,170 (C$413,530,342) in Assets Under Management ("AUM") for its Bitcoin exchange-traded products ("ETPs"), reflecting strong market momentum and continued investor inflows.

In parallel, DeFi Technologies' corporate treasury holdings of 208.8 Bitcoin also reached an all-time high valuation of approximately US$25.6 million (C$35 million) on July 13, 2025, when Bitcoin reached an all-time high of US$122,625.

"These record-breaking figures reinforce the strength of our vertically integrated model and the value we're delivering to shareholders through operating efficiency and smart capital allocation," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of DeFi Technologies. "We're not just holding Bitcoin—we're monetizing it across our asset management and trading infrastructure."

A Profitable Bitcoin Treasury Company with Real Revenue

DeFi Technologies is one of the few publicly traded Bitcoin treasury companies with an underlying operating business. The Company's Bitcoin holdings have been purchased entirely through free cash flow from operating revenue, rather than debt or equity dilution. DeFi Technologies is also one of just three profitable and free cash flow generating publicly listed digital asset companies, thanks to its full-stack monetization strategy that spans asset management, staking, and trading operations.

Staking Bitcoin for Yield

Through a joint venture with CORE DAO, Valour holds a unique competitive advantage by enabling the staking of Bitcoin under management, generating a 6.5% annual percentage yield (APY) that contributes directly to revenue, further enhancing AUM monetization.

Thanks to Core Chain's Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism, Bitcoin staking is non-custodial, allowing holders to earn yield on their BTC without relinquishing custody. Core is a Bitcoin-powered, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain that brings Bitcoin finance to life, powering both the first-ever non-custodial BTC staking protocol.

Digital Asset Treasury

As part of its vertically integrated model, DeFi Technologies actively manages a diversified digital asset treasury designed to support long-term capital appreciation, strategic flexibility, and balance sheet strength. These holdings complement the Company's core operating businesses—including asset management, staking, and trading—and are acquired using free cash flow generated by the Company, without the need for dilution or leverage.

As of June 30, 2025, DeFi Technologies' digital asset treasury was valued at approximately US$48.4 million (C$66 million). The portfolio includes direct exposure to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other high-conviction tokens aligned with the Company's long-term outlook on digital infrastructure. In addition, the Company holds approximately US$14 million (C$19 million) in cash and USDT, providing strategic flexibility to expand or rebalance its treasury as market conditions evolve.

The portfolio breakdown is as follows as of June 30, 2025:

• 208.8 BTC: US$25,605,799 (C$35,062,149) - as of July 13, 2025
  
  
• 161 ETH: US$400,320.06 (C$549,239)
