Oslo, 23 June 2025 –Green Minerals AS (“the Company”), a pioneer in deep sea mining and sustainable mineral extraction, today announces the adoption of a Bitcoin Treasury Strategy as part of its overall blockchain strategy. This forward-thinking financial approach is designed to diversify the company’s treasury away from traditional fiat currencies, which face increasing risks due to inflation and geopolitical uncertainty.

In today’s volatile economic climate, resilience is paramount. “In this era of significant monetary expansion, maintaining a strong balance sheet is more critical than ever,” said Executive Chairman Ståle Rodahl of Green Minerals. “Bitcoin’s decentralized, non-inflationary properties make it an attractive alternative to traditional fiat. By integrating a Bitcoin Treasury Strategy, we are not only mitigating fiat risks but also reaffirming our commitment to financial innovation and the sustainable creation of long-term value. This approach is particularly well suited for a company with such a long project horizon as Green Minerals. With significant future capital expenditures planned for the production equipment, the program offers a robust hedge against currency debasement”.

Green Minerals has set an ambitious target: to together with its partners finance up to USD 1.2 billion with programs designed to increase its Bitcoin Treasury exposure forming a cornerstone of the financing. This strategic goal is aligned with the first HEDSM to be launched by our “Partnership for Responsible Production” and underscores the Company’s determination to leverage digital assets as a core component of its financial structure and future growth.

Furthermore, Green Minerals emphasizes that its core operational strategy remains steadfast—the Bitcoin Treasury program is implemented to support the company’s project plans. Green Minerals also sees that blockchain technology has an important role to play in mining to ensure supply chain transparency, mineral origin certification and operational efficiency. Green Minerals aims to adopt blockchain technology throughout the value chain to stay in the forefront of competition and any future regulatory requirements.

Green Minerals aims to optimize the implementation of its Bitcoin Treasury strategy in collaboration with renowned bitcoin expertise. To this end, Green Minerals will establish a transparent and secure framework for the acquisition, management, and reporting of Bitcoin holdings. To ensure accountability, a key performance indicator (KPI) – Bitcoin per share (BTC/share) – will be introduced. This new metric will provide shareholders with clear insights into the digital asset value attributable to each share.

Green Minerals is committed to full transparency in the rollout of this innovative strategy. The company will provide regular updates to the market on the progress and implementation of the Bitcoin Treasury Strategy, ensuring that investors remain well informed about its development and performance. The Company aims to acquire its first bitcoins over the next few days.

This strategic move reinforces Green Minerals’ position not only as a leader in sustainable mineral extraction but also as an innovator in financial and technological practices. The company invites all stakeholders to monitor the forthcoming updates as it paves the way towards broader blockchain adoption.
