NextGen Digital Announces Treasury Strategy to Incorporate Crypto Assets, Acquires $1.0 Million in Bitcoin
Vancouver, B.C., July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NextGen Digital Platforms Inc. (CSE:NXT) (OTCQB:NXTDF) (FSE:Z12 ) (' NextGen ' or the ' Company ') a digital asset and fintech platform focused on bridging traditional capital markets with Web3 infrastructure, is pleased to announce the acquisition of $1.0 million worth of Bitcoin ('BTC') to be held on its balance sheet as part of its corporate treasury strategy that incorporates the acquisition of certain crypto assets — including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and/or Solana (the ' Crypto Assets '). As part of a broader and more diversified approach to managing its corporate reserves, the Company will be allocating a portion of its excess cash into Crypto Assets. These digital assets are being recognized by the Company as potential long-term stores of value and as a hedge against systemic financial risk. In taking this step, the Company joins a growing number of publicly listed companies integrating digital assets into their treasury frameworks alongside traditional holdings such as cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Pursuant to a strategy approved by the Company's board of directors, the Company may allocate up to 80% of its treasury holdings to Crypto Assets. All assets will be custodied through a regulated, institutional-grade custodian, and will be held in compliance with applicable laws and industry best practices related to security, custody, and reporting. The Company believes that this allocation reflects a proactive approach to treasury management, particularly during a period of elevated fiscal instability, inflationary pressure, and increasing institutional demand for decentralized financial alternatives. The Company views this move as a means to enhance the resilience and diversification of its balance sheet while aligning with a broader global shift toward the adoption of digital assets. 'We believe Bitcoin is a unique monetary asset that offers long-term resilience and upside as a treasury reserve. Our decision to allocate capital into Bitcoin reflects our confidence in the long-term value and relevance of decentralized assets in the global economy,' said Matthew Priebe, Chief Executive Officer of NextGen. This strategic initiative is not expected to impact the Company's current development activities or the execution of its business plans. The Company will disclose any material acquisitions of Crypto Assets in future news releases if and as required under applicable laws. About NextGen Digital Platforms Inc.

(CSE: NXT) (OTCQB:NXTDF) (FSE:Z12) is a publicly listed fintech and digital asset company that provides investors with exposure to a diversified portfolio of Web3 technologies, blockchain infrastructure, and digital currencies.

HCM can be reached at Manulife Centre, 55 Bloor West, Toronto, ON M4W 3T9; Tel: (416) 903-7522; Email: mwichterle@ Myriad's CEO, Thomas Lamb, commented "Myriad and the U.S. uranium sector are both at key inflection points, and we are working to ensure the Company receives the visibility it merits given the scale and brownfield nature of its projects. It is now apparent that our flagship Copper Mountain Uranium Project in Wyoming—supported by over 2,000 historical boreholes and C$117 million (2024 dollars) in historic exploration and development—may host significantly more uranium, and at higher grades, than previously reported. This is because recent chemical assays have confirmed materially higher average uranium grades than equivalent gamma probe measurements, and importantly, suggest that several zones previously considered below cutoff—or even virtually barren—may in fact contain significant mineralization. We are now conducting an additional ~1,500 assays that could meaningfully upgrade existing intervals and expand the scale and grade potential of the entire project. This comes as unprecedented levels of public and private capital are flowing into the U.S. uranium sector, creating an ideal backdrop for rerating and growth." Historical Estimates While Myriad has determined that the historical estimates described in this news release are relevant to the Copper Mountain Project Area and are reasonably reliable given the authors and circumstances of their preparation, and are suitable for public disclosure, readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on these historical estimates as an indicator of current mineral resources or mineral reserves at the Project Area. A qualified person (as defined under NI 43-101) has not done sufficient work to classify any of the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and Myriad is not treating the historical estimates as a current mineral resource or mineral reserve. Also, while the Copper Mountain Project Area contains all or most of each deposit referred to, some of the resources referred to may be located outside the current Copper Mountain Project Area. Furthermore, the estimates are decades old and based on drilling data for which the logs are, as of yet, predominantly unavailable. The historical resource estimates, therefore, should not be unduly relied upon. Inherent limitations of the historical estimates include that the nature of the mineralisation (fracture hosted) makes estimation from drill data less reliable than other deposit types (e.g. those that are thick and uniform). From Myriad's viewpoint, limitations include that the Company has not been able to verify the data itself and that the estimate may be optimistic relative to subsequent work which applied a "delayed fission neutron" (DFN) factor to calculate grades. On the other hand, DFN is controversial, in that the approach is viewed by some experts as too conservative. Nevertheless, it was applied in later resource estimations by Union Pacific relating to Copper Mountain. In order to verify the historical estimates and potentially re-state them as current resources, a program of digitization of available data is required. This must be followed by re-logging and/or re-drilling to generate new data to the extent necessary that it is comparable with the original data, or new data that can be used to establish the correlation and continuity of geology and grades between boreholes with sufficient confidence to estimate mineral resources. Qualified Person The scientific or technical information in this news release respecting the Company's Copper Mountain Project has been approved by George van der Walt, MSc., FGSSA, a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Mr. van der Walt is employed by The MSA Group (Pty) Ltd (MSA), a leading geological consultancy providing services to the minerals industry, based in Johannesburg, South Africa. He has more than 20 years industry experience and sufficient relevant experience in the type and style of mineralisation to report on exploration results. About Myriad Uranium Corp. Myriad Uranium Corp. is a uranium exploration company with an earnable 75% interest in the Copper Mountain Uranium Project in Wyoming, USA. Copper Mountain hosts several known uranium deposits and historic uranium mines, including the Arrowhead Mine which produced 500,000 lbs of U3O8 (Cramer et al., 1977a, and subsequent references). Copper Mountain saw extensive drilling and development by Union Pacific during the late 1970s including the development of a mine plan to fuel a planned fleet of California Edison reactors. Operations ceased in 1980 before mining could commence due to falling uranium prices. Approximately 2,000 boreholes have been drilled at Copper Mountain and the project area has significant exploration upside. Union Pacific is estimated to have spent C$117 million (2024 dollars) exploring and developing Copper Mountain, generating significant historical resource estimates which are detailed here. The Company also recently acquired, subject to completing a geophysical survey this year, a 100% interest in the Red Basin Uranium Project in New Mexico, which has a near-surface historical resource (non-43-101) at grades from 1,700 to 3,100 ppm with significant upside potential (Chamberlin, 1981). The announcement regarding the acquisition can be viewed here and a subsequent announcement regarding an expansion of the Company's acreage to encompass ~800 of 1,050 historical boreholes in the basin can be viewed here.
