Company begins accumulation of Bitcoin and signs non-binding strategic memorandum of understanding with Japanese Gfa Co., Ltd.
Targets launch Bitcoin Treasury bonds in the $25 trillion public market of Asia
Universal Digital Inc. (the "Company" or "Universal Digital") (CSE: "LFG", FSE: 8R20) is pleased to announce the launch of its Bitcoin Treasury Strategy, which will constitute a fundamental pillar of the Company's capital allocation framework. As an initial step, the Company has begun the orderly divestment of its existing altcoin assets, with the proceeds being reallocated to the accumulation of Bitcoin under a new reserve model.
The goal of this strategy is to increase long-term net asset value and align the company with global trends in institutional adoption of digital assets. Universal Digital considers Bitcoin a complementary reserve asset and plans to implement the strategy transparently and gradually.
As part of this initiative, the company plans to collaborate with publicly traded companies across Asia to implement Bitcoin treasury models, leveraging the growing institutional and retail interest in the region for digital assets and its increasing openness to blockchain-based financial innovation. According to Chainalysis, East Asia accounted for approximately 8.9% of the global on-chain cryptocurrency transaction volume between July 2023 and June 2024, with most of the activity driven by institutional and professional investors in markets such as Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong.
Continuing this regional focus, on June 12, 2025, the Company entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with GFA Co., Ltd. ("GFA"), a diversified financial and technology group listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE: 8783). The MOU establishes a partnership framework for the joint advancement of Bitcoin-based corporate finance models in Japan.

According to the memorandum of understanding, the companies will jointly explore:
Introduction of Bitcoin reserve models for listed Japanese companies;
Structuring capital raising tools, such as guarantees and market-based offerings to finance Bitcoin acquisitions; and
Improving governance, investor relations, and custody structures for digital assets.
The memorandum of understanding also sets the stage for broader collaboration in Japan's digital economy, including joint investments in publicly traded companies, the development of blockchain-based corporate structures, initiatives connecting Bitcoin adoption with cultural intellectual property and Web3-based consumer ecosystems. The memorandum of understanding was entered into on an independent basis and there are no related party interests between Universal Digital and GFA.
“Our Bitcoin Treasury Strategy marks a deliberate shift in how we manage capital — by holding Bitcoin as a long-term treasury asset, we aim to strengthen the balance sheet and align with the evolution of the global financial landscape,” said Tim Chan, CEO of the company. “The framework we established with GFA allows us to explore the extent of this model for Asia, where digital assets are gaining traction among publicly traded companies and institutional investors.”
“The experience of Universal Digital and its management with the cryptocurrency and Bitcoin market, coupled with our expertise in the Japanese markets, makes us a strong team. I look forward to working closely with Universal Digital to introduce the Bitcoin reserve model to listed Japanese companies,” said Gen Matsuda, CEO of GFA Co., Ltd.
The memorandum of understanding is non-binding and provides a framework for future negotiations and joint structuring discussions.
