NextGen Digital Announces Treasury Strategy to Incorporate Crypto Assets, Acquires $1.0 Million in Bitcoin
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.

XXKK Exchange Upgrades Security Architecture to Enhance Asset Protection and Compliance Measures
XXKK Exchange, a global crypto trading platform, today announced the successful completion of a comprehensive upgrade to its system-wide security architecture. The upgrade enhances critical components of the platform's crypto trading engine, user account protection mechanisms, blockchain-based asset storage protocols, and compliance operations. This strategic milestone further reinforces XXKK's commitment to building a multi-layered, institution-grade defense system tailored for the evolving needs of digital asset traders, while aligning with international regulatory and Web3 infrastructure standards. As the crypto industry faces increasing and complex security threats, recent data from on-chain analytics providers shows a consistent surge in digital asset platform losses linked to smart contract vulnerabilities, permission mismanagement, and asset flow exploits—particularly across DeFi protocols and cross-chain bridges. Despite maintaining a zero major incident track record, XXKK Exchange continues to embrace a proactive, prevention-first security philosophy. The platform prioritizes systemic resilience over reactive patching, underscoring its long-term investment in sustainable blockchain security governance. The current upgrade includes five core components: 1. Trading System: A modular, permission-tiered architecture has been implemented across matching engines, risk management modules, and transaction processing channels. This architecture minimizes lateral threat propagation and enables fault-tolerant scaling of the digital asset trading environment. 2. Key and Asset Management: A new generation of Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) has been deployed to manage cold and hot wallet private keys, supplemented by multi-signature protocols and routine key rotation. An on-platform asset protection fund has also been established, offering up to one million USD in compensation for user losses resulting from platform-level failures. 3. User Account Security: Enhanced two-factor authentication (2FA) protocols and behavioral login modeling have been rolled out, in parallel with real-time detection of high-risk wallet addresses using on-chain reputation analysis. 4. Real-Time Risk Engine: A dynamic, behavior-based risk engine continuously monitors blockchain activity, withdrawal flows, and API traffic. The system automatically triggers throttling, freezing, or internal audits in response to suspicious operations — fortifying protection against DeFi attack vectors. 5. Compliance and Transparency: The exchange launched a quarterly penetration testing program and engaged with third-party audit firms to initiate SOC 2 Type I certification procedures. These actions form the foundation of XXKK's long-term goal to establish a transparent, standards-based crypto audit trail. Emmalyn, Head of XXKK Exchange, commented: 'User fund protection cannot rely on promises alone. It must be underpinned by real technical strength. At XXKK, we have built a resilient security architecture that incorporates encrypted asset segregation, tiered access controls, risk modeling, and continuous auditing. We have also introduced a platform-level compensation mechanism to ensure robust financial recourse in the rare event of system failure.' She added: 'As the platform scales globally, security is no longer a reactive function—it is the foundation of our infrastructure design. We will continue investing in automated defense systems, compliance frameworks, and user risk awareness initiatives to ensure zero incident operations across all market conditions.' As the global regulatory wave intensifies, XXKK Exchange proactively launched its compliance roadmap. It obtained the following: U.S. MSB (Money Services Business) registration on August 5, 2022, license number: 31000222694535; Canadian MSB (Money Services Business) authorization on September 8, 2022, license number: M22420435; Saint Vincent FSA (Financial Services Authority) license on January 23, 2024, license number: 3393. Additionally, XXKK Exchange is preparing to publish its first Annual Security and Transparency Report later this year. The report will include: Proof of Reserves (PoR), Emergency response protocols, Third-party security partnerships, and Internal control enforcement disclosures. XXKK Exchange is committed to delivering both technical and institutional safeguards for user funds. With the support of a dedicated asset protection fund, the platform aims to achieve its operational goal of 'zero user losses.' About XXKK Exchange XXKK Exchange is a globally leading multi-asset crypto platform, founded by a team of seasoned professionals with extensive experience in traditional finance and blockchain technology. The platform bridges the worlds of traditional finance and Web3 through a robust matrix of innovative products and an institution-grade security system. 2025 XXKK Exchange. All rights reserved.

Why MARA Holdings Stock Is Plummeting Today
Key Points MARA Holdings' recent $850 million private offering of convertible notes has caused investor concern about potential stock dilution, leading to a decline in its share price. The company's profitability is heavily influenced by the volatile price of Bitcoin and rising energy costs, with the latter expected to remain elevated due to increasing demand from the AI industry. 10 stocks we like better than Mara › Shares of MARA Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA) are falling on Wednesday, down 13.8% as of 2:58 p.m. ET. The drop comes as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite gained 0.7% and 0.5%, respectively. The Bitcoin mining company's stock is falling today after the company announced a private offering of $850 million, sparking fears of dilution. MARA's financial move The company announced it intends to initiate a $850 million private offering with convertible notes due in 2032. Initial purchasers may be granted an option to acquire an extra $150 million in notes. These are unsecured senior obligations and won't be subject to regular interest. The funds will be primarily used to acquire Bitcoin, fund operations, as well as fund capped call transactions, a financial maneuver that will help curb stock dilution. However, some dilution can still occur, and investors were clearly worried today that it would, leading to the sell-off. MARA is highly dependent on Bitcoin MARA's profitability is extremely sensitive to the price of Bitcoin. It's also highly dependent on energy costs. These are both major concerns for investors. To the latter point, I think energy costs are going to be a major concern in the years to come. Energy demands from the artificial intelligence (AI) industry are enormous, growing, and will keep energy prices elevated, impacting MARA's costs to mine Bitcoin. And although there are theoretical advantages to investing in a miner's stock over directly purchasing Bitcoin itself, I think we've seen that there is much more downside in practice. I would avoid the stock. Should you buy stock in Mara right now?
