Oslo, Norway – 02 July 2025 — Green Minerals AS (“Green Minerals” or the “Company”), a pioneer in deep sea mining and sustainable minerals extraction with growing exposure to Bitcoin through its Bitcoin Treasury strategy, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a structured financing agreement with global investment group LDA Capital (“LDA”) for a total commitment of NOK 250 million over a 12-month  period. 

Under the agreement, LDA has granted Green Minerals a put option, allowing the Company to issue new shares on a flexible basis in accordance with market conditions. This ATM structure provides Green Minerals with the agility to draw capital as needed, optimizing shareholder value while mitigating unnecessary dilution. 

In addition, Green Minerals will grant LDA a call option, entitling LDA to subscribe for up to 1% of the Company’s share capital at NOK 6,95 per share. This option is exercisable for a period of 12 months.  

“In a dynamic market environment, flexibility and staying power is key,” said Ståle Rodahl, Executive Chairman of Green Minerals. “This facility gives us a prudent and strategic mechanism to fund growth, while aligning with our long-term goal to increase Bitcoin per share (BTC/share) by monitoring both digital asset trends and equity market interest.” 

Strategic Capital for a New Era of Treasury Management 

 LDA Capital has a proven track record of over $11 billion deployed across traditional capital markets and $400 million in Web3 investments. Their flexible, equity and token-linked financing structures are tailored to support companies like GEM that are pioneering digital asset treasury strategies. 

Through this partnership, GEM gains access not only to capital but also to LDA’s global network of TradFi and Web 3.0 portfolio companies, crypto-native advisors and strategic investors—positioning GEM to scale responsibly and credibly in a rapidly evolving market – the Digital Assets treasury strategy. 

“This partnership underscores LDA’s commitment to innovative and high-conviction opportunities,” said Warren Baker, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at LDA Capital. “We’re proud to back Green Minerals as they pioneer sustainable value creation at the intersection of natural resources and digital assets.” 

Green Minerals will only access the facility in tranches, subject to prevailing market conditions, and retain full discretion over the timing and amount of each drawdown. 

The Company will update the market on any further financing arrangements if and when additional agreements are reached.
