Mogo Initiates Process to Obtain Full Crypto Regulatory Approval in Canada
Article content VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Mogo Inc. ('Mogo' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: MOGO; TSX: MOGO), a digital wealth and payments company on a mission to build the future of intelligent finance, today announced that it is moving forward with plans to seek regulatory approval to offer crypto trading on its platform. If approved, Mogo would join an elite category, becoming one of only two companies in the country authorized to offer both equity and crypto trading under a single, regulated platform. Article content This step forward marks a structural expansion of Mogo's evolution into an integrated, multi-asset investing platform. It follows the introduction of a next-generation wealth experience built for disciplined investors seeking to build long-term capital across both traditional and digital assets. Article content This milestone also reflects Mogo's long-standing commitment to crypto innovation in Canada. In 2018, it launched Canada's first Bitcoin account, and in 2020, it became the third US-listed company to allocate Bitcoin to its balance sheet, following MicroStrategy and Block. Today's announcement builds on that legacy, reinforcing Mogo's leadership at the intersection of fintech and hard asset capital allocation. Article content 'The question is no longer whether crypto belongs in a portfolio, it's how to hold it intelligently,' said David Feller, Founder & CEO of Mogo. 'Our approach isn't built on hype, but on structure, security, and long-term alignment. We're not building a trading tool, we're building a regulated, behaviorally sound platform where crypto plays a deliberate role in wealth creation. That's the difference. And it's one a disciplined investor would respect.' Article content Mogo currently offers equity investing via MogoTrade Inc. and adding crypto trading to the Company's roadmap is tightly integrated with Mogo's capital allocation strategy, which includes a board-approved $50 million Bitcoin treasury authorization. Article content 'This is not a marketing play. It's a structural shift,' said Greg Feller, Co-Founder & President of Mogo. 'The convergence of equities and crypto is not theoretical, it's inevitable. Regulatory approval isn't just a milestone, it's a moat. With we're building a unified wealth experience designed for those who think in decades, not days.' Article content With this move, Mogo is not simply adding crypto, it is architecting the future of disciplined, multi-asset investing in Canada. Mogo aims to build the only platform where long-term investors can manage both equities and crypto within a unified system grounded in behavioral discipline. Article content Mogo Inc. Article content (NASDAQ:MOGO; TSX:MOGO) is on a mission to build the future of intelligent finance, empowering consumers to grow wealth through a suite of innovative financial products and a capital strategy anchored by Bitcoin. The company's platform combines digital wealth management and lending with a growing commitment to hard asset capital allocation. Mogo is publicly listed on the NASDAQ and TSX.

Digital Commodities Announces Closing of Final Tranche of Fully Subscribed $2 Million Private Placement
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 14, 2025) - Digital Commodities Capital Corp. (CSE: DIGI) (OTCQB: DGCMF) (FSE: W040) (" Digital Commodities" or the " Company") is pleased to announce the closing of the second and final tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the " Financing"), bringing total gross proceeds raised to date under the Financing to $2 million. The Company is pleased to confirm that the entire offering was fully subscribed, reflecting strong and sustained investor interest in Digital Commodities' strategy and outlook. Notably, Mogo Inc. (TSX: MOGO) (NASDAQ: MOGO), a leading Canadian financial technology company, participated in the Financing as a strategic investor with a cornerstone investment of $1 million, as previously disclosed in the Company's July 10, 2025 news release. Mogo's participation represents a meaningful endorsement of Digital Commodities' approach to leveraging non-fiat assets as functional reserves for long-term value creation. Brayden Sutton, CEO of Digital Commodities, commented: " This financing marks another important milestone as we continue to build a differentiated platform anchored in non-fiat assets. The momentum we're seeing from investors underscores growing confidence in our approach-and in the role that Bitcoin can play as a foundational tool in the next chapter of capital markets. We're focused, aligned, and energized to deploy this capital with discipline and seize the opportunities ahead." The second tranche consisted of the issuance of 13,333,332 units of the Company (each, a " Unit") at a price of $0.075 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1 million. Each Unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (each, a " Warrant"), with each Warrant exercisable to acquire one additional common share at a price of $0.10 for a period of two years from the closing date, subject to acceleration. The net proceeds from this tranche of the Financing will be used to advance Digital Commodities' dual-pronged treasury strategy focused on acquiring Bitcoin and gold-two of the most resilient stores of value in history. These assets will serve as functional capital for opportunistic, value-accretive investments that align with the Company's long-term vision. Proceeds will also support general corporate purposes. In connection with the Financing, the Company paid finders fees of $13,680 in cash commission, 1,066,666 common shares of the Company and 1,249,066 finder warrants (" Finder Warrants"). Each Finder Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of two years from the date issuance. The common shares and the Finder Warrants are subject to a four month and one day hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Units were offered pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions, and are not subject to resale restrictions under applicable Canadian securities laws. The Warrants are subject to an acceleration clause effective October 31, 2025, whereby the Company may accelerate their expiry if its shares trade at or above $0.20 for 10 consecutive trading days.

Mogo Acquires 9% Stake in Bitcoin & Gold Treasury Company Digital Commodities Capital Corp.
Mogo Inc. ('Mogo' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: MOGO; TSX: MOGO), a Canadian fintech on a mission to build the future of intelligent finance, empowering consumers to grow wealth through innovative financial products and a capital strategy anchored by Bitcoin, today announced it has completed a strategic investment of approximately 9% in Digital Commodities Capital Corp. ('Digital Commodities') (CSE: DIGI; OTCQB: DGCMF). Digital Commodities is a publicly listed investment issuer building a differentiated capital platform, primarily focused on acquiring and holding Bitcoin and physical gold. These hard, non-fiat assets serve as the foundation of the company's treasury strategy and are intended to function as long-term reserves managed with discipline and transparency. 'We believe Digital Commodities is building something foundational, an asset-backed public company model built on Bitcoin and gold,' said Greg Feller, President & Co-founder of Mogo. 'That's a category-defining strategy we're excited to be aligned with as both operators and long-term believers in Bitcoin.' 'We're equally excited to work with Brayden Sutton and his team, who bring deep conviction, vision, and expertise to this emerging asset class,' added Greg Feller. Digital Commodities' model is inspired by sound money principles and designed to offer public market investors access to the two most enduring stores of value in history, without dilution through operating businesses or speculative diversification. Mogo's investment reinforces the company's momentum and positions it to scale its hard asset balance sheet model in public markets. Mogo's $1 million investment was made as part of Digital Commodities' non-brokered private placement and consisted of a subscription for 13.3 million units priced at $0.075 per unit. Each unit of Digital Commodities consists of one common share and one warrant to purchase a common share exercisable at $0.10. This investment will be held alongside Mogo's other crypto-related investments, including its minority stake in Gemini, further advancing its strategic exposure to Bitcoin and the broader digital asset ecosystem. This also supports Mogo's broader vision as a dual-compounding platform, combining a high-growth fintech operating business with a strategic Bitcoin treasury. Earlier this month, Mogo announced board authorization to allocate up to $50 million to Bitcoin, reinforcing its long-term conviction in hard assets as the cornerstone of capital preservation and growth. About Mogo Mogo Inc. is on a mission to build the future of intelligent finance, empowering consumers to grow wealth through a suite of innovative financial products and a capital strategy anchored by Bitcoin.
