The securities of the Issuer purchased by Woodmont Investing LLC were purchased with working capital. The aggregate purchase price of the 2,741,997 Shares owned directly by Woodmont Investing LLC is approximately $ 14,156,752.32 including brokerage commissions.

| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
The Reporting Persons initially acquired the Shares for investment purposes and filed a Schedule 13G on January 23, 2026, based on a passive investment intent and an expectation that the market price of the Issuer's securities would converge with its underlying net asset value.
The Reporting Persons review their investments, including their investment in the Issuer, on an ongoing basis, and now believe that the Issuer requires a change in leadership to strengthen execution, refine its strategic direction, and improve long term performance. On February 3, 2026, the Reporting Persons delivered a letter to the Issuer's Board of Directors (the "Board"), attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 (the "Board Letter"), outlining their view that the Board should (i) reconstitute its Board of Directors, (ii) appoint a new Chief Executive Officer, and (iii) undertake the immediate sale of all bitcoin owned by the Issuer and distribute the proceeds to shareholders without delay.
The Reporting Persons acquired their position as part of a broader investment strategy that considers the strength of an issuer's long term strategy, leadership and governance quality, financial performance, valuation, and financially material sustainability factors. Consistent with this approach, the Reporting Persons intend to seek constructive dialogue with the Board and management regarding leadership succession, as well as other potential opportunities to enhance shareholder value. The Reporting Persons may also communicate with shareholders or other third parties regarding these matters and may exchange information with potential management candidates or other stakeholders pursuant to appropriate confidentiality arrangements.
Except as set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position, investment strategy, and reaction to the Board Letter, the price levels of the securities, conditions in the securities markets, and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional securities, selling some or all of their securities, engaging in short sales or any hedging or similar transactions with respect to their securities, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4. In addition, the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, (i) review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto and (ii) consider or propose one or more of the actions described in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. | |
