Fracton Ventures Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representatives: Yudai Suzuki, Toshihiko Kamei; hereinafter "the Company") announces that it has been selected as an allottee of the 17th Series Stock Acquisition Rights by way of third-party allotment resolved by HODL1 Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative CEO: Hiroki Tahara; Securities Code: 2345 TSE Standard Market; hereinafter "HODL1") on April 30, 2026, and will accept these stock acquisition rights.
Background of Acceptance
On January 15, 2026, the Company concluded a basic agreement (MOU) with HODL1 (then known as Kushim Inc.) for the promotion of crypto asset treasury business and cooperation support for the Ethereum community. Since then, the two companies have jointly promoted strategic design, technical research, and connection support with domestic and international ecosystem partners for HODL1's Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) business.
HODL1 changed its company name in February 2026 and is advancing a business transformation with the "HODL&BUIDL" strategy at its core. This strategy involves long-term holding (HODL) of Ethereum (ETH) as digital asset reserves, building an income-gain type revenue base centered on staking, and promoting business activities (BUIDL) that contribute to the development of the Ethereum ecosystem. This strategy has a high affinity with the Company's business domain centered on Ethereum.
The acceptance of these new stock acquisition rights aims to further deepen the collaboration between the two companies, based on the results of their cooperation since the conclusion of the MOU. By committing to the medium- to long-term enhancement of HODL1's corporate value as a shareholder, the Company intends to build a stronger partnership that goes beyond a mere consulting relationship.
