DIGITAL COMMODITIES PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE AMID RECORD GOLD PRICES

April 30, 2025

VANCOUVER, BC, April 30th, 2025 – Digital Commodities Capital Corp. (CSE: RIPP) (OTCQB: DGCMF) (FSE: W040) (“Digital Commodities” or the “Company”), is pleased to provide a corporate update amid record-breaking commodity market conditions and continued portfolio progress.


With gold recently surpassing $3,300 USD per ounce, market interest in real assets has accelerated dramatically. Digital Commodities is strategically positioned to benefit from this macro environment through its diversified portfolio of real assets and equity investments. 


“We believe this is a defining moment for the commodities sector,” said Brayden Sutton, President & CEO of Digital Commodities. “The world is rediscovering the importance of tangible value—and our platform is built to identify and unlock it.”


Supported by an experienced board, an agile team, and a flexible structure, Digital Commodities remains focused on delivering shareholder value through disciplined, opportunistic investments in both real and digital assets. As an investment issuer centered on real assets, the Company maintains a diversified portfolio spanning physical commodities, digital assets, liquid public equities, and select private ventures. Digital Commodities remains well-capitalized, unleveraged, and committed to disciplined capital deployment.


Core Portfolio Holdings


  • Physical uranium holdings approximating roughly 1,454 pounds of U₃O₈ held indirectly through units of the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (TSX: U.UN)


The Company maintains a strategic view on uranium as a key component of global energy transition, and believes fundamentals remain strong for long-term price appreciation. U₃O₈ (triuranium octoxide) is critical to the tech sector and the future of energy because it fuels nuclear power—one of the most reliable, low-carbon energy sources needed to support the rapidly growing demand for clean electricity in data centers, AI infrastructure, and global electrification.


  • Physical copper holdings approximating 16,719 pounds of copper held via the Sprott Physical Copper Trust (TSX: COP.UN)


Copper is the backbone of the modern economy — often called the “glue of the modern world,” copper is essential due to its unmatched conductivity and versatility. It plays a critical role across nearly every major sector—from EVs and renewable energy to semiconductors, 5G, and construction—cementing its place as a cornerstone of the digital and electrified future.


  • Physical silver holdings approximating 3,470 ounces of silver held via the Sprott Physical Silver Trust (TSX: PSLV)


Silver is a critical industrial metal with unmatched thermal and electrical conductivity, making it essential for solar panels, EVs, semiconductors, and the entire green energy transition—while also serving as real money and a timeless store of value in uncertain markets.


  • XRP holdings approximating 108,000 XRP tokens of the digital asset, leveraging Ripple’s blockchain technology for fast, low-cost cross-border payments and growing institutional adoption.


The Company holds exposure to one of the most widely adopted digital assets in the blockchain space—XRP—designed for fast, low-cost cross-border payments and increasingly integrated into institutional settlement systems. XRP sits at the intersection of traditional finance and crypto, offering real utility in a sector seeking both scalability and regulatory clarity.


  • Gold Exposure: In addition to its physical metals holdings, the Company maintains strategic equity positions, including 10,000,000 common shares of Gold Finder Resources Ltd., acquired at an approximate $1.1 million pre-money valuation. Following the investment, the Company appointed a Director to Gold Finder’s board at the request of the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE).


In addition to its core holdings, Digital Commodities is actively evaluating new opportunities across the mining, energy, critical materials, and technology sectors—consistent with its disciplined, high-conviction investment strategy that avoids the use of debt or leverage.

VANCOUVER, BC, March 31st, 2025 – Digital Commodities Capital Corp. (CSE: RIPP) (OTCQB: BCBCF) (FSE: W04) ( “Digital Commodities” or the “Company” ), is pleased to announce the initial acquisition of 10,000 units of the Sprott Physical Silver Trust (TSX: PSLV) as part of its broader strategic commitment to the silver market. The Company is actively evaluating opportunities to increase its exposure to physical silver and related investments, including the potential acquisition of additional PSLV units in the near term. This initiative comes amid increasing global attention on silver as both a critical industrial metal and a historic store of value. In 2024, global silver demand reached a record 1.21 billion ounces, marking the second-highest level on record. Despite a modest 1% increase in mine production to 837 million ounces, the market faced a significant supply deficit of approximately 182 million ounces, highlighting the growing imbalance between supply and demand. With the #SilverSqueeze movement gaining traction once again, Digital Commodities sees a unique opportunity to engage directly in the silver narrative through strategic accumulation and creative positioning – especially today, March 31st, recognized as ‘Buy Silver Day’. In parallel, the Company is currently in discussions with a major North American mint to explore the development of a branded line of silver bullion products. This effort would combine Digital Commodities’ expertise in digital branding and asset exposure with the timeless appeal of physical precious metals — offering shareholders and consumers alike a tangible connection to silver in its purest form. “We’ve always believed in combining modern strategies with timeless value, and silver is one of the most underappreciated assets in the market today,” said Brayden Sutton, CEO of Digital Commodities. “This is our first step toward building a meaningful footprint in the physical silver space. We’re not only investing — we’re looking to participate in the culture and momentum that surrounds silver, especially as global demand and awareness continue to rise.”  This move is in alignment with Digital Commodities’ broader mission to provide shareholders with targeted exposure to hard assets, commodities, and emerging alternative stores of value.

VANCOUVER, BC, March 27th, 2025 – Digital Commodities Capital Corp. (CSE: RIPP) (OTCQB: BCBCF) (FSE: W04) ( “Digital Commodities” or the “Company” ), is pleased to announce the successful completion of a strategic investment in GoldON Resources Ltd. (TSXV: GLD) ( “GoldON” ). The Company has acquired 10,000,000 units of GoldON at a price of $0.025 per unit for a total investment of $250,000 (the “Investment” ). Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable at a price of $0.05 per share for a period of two years. GoldON is a publicly listed Canadian mineral exploration company focused on advancing gold exploration projects in Ontario - one of Canada’s most prospective and mining-friendly jurisdictions. As part of the Investment, Digital Commodities has secured the right to nominate a representative to GoldON’s board of directors. “We view this investment as an opportunity to support a focused exploration company with compelling assets in a highly prospective mining region,” said Brayden Sutton. “With gold prices at all-time highs, we see this as a strategic way to gain leveraged exposure to the commodity through a well-positioned proxy — a call option on gold — with the added upside of discovery and exploration success. I look forward to working with the GoldON team to help unlock value through strategic initiatives and disciplined growth.” This investment aligns with Digital Commodities’ broader strategy to identify and support early-stage opportunities with long-term potential in the resource sector. Prior to the Investment, the Company did not hold any shares of GoldOn or other convertible securities of GoldOn. Following the Investment, the Company holds 10,000,000 shares of GoldOn and 10,000,000 warrants of GoldOn, representing approximately 15.98% of the issued and outstanding GoldOn shares calculated on an undiluted basis and approximately 27.56% of the issued and outstanding GoldOn shares on a partially diluted basis, assuming exercise of the GoldOn warrants held by the Company into shares of GoldOn. The units were acquired by the Company for investment purposes. The Company may acquire additional securities of GoldOn, including on the open market or through private acquisitions, or sell securities of GoldOn, including on the open market or through private dispositions, in the future depending on market conditions, reformulation of plans and/or other relevant factors. An early warning report will be filed under GoldOn’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca .

VANCOUVER, BC, March 26th, 2025 – Digital Commodities Capital Corp. (CSE: RIPP) (OTCQB: BCBCF) (FSE: W04) (the “Company” ), commends the landmark settlement between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 24th, 2025, marking the end of a years-long legal battle that had cast regulatory uncertainty over the XRP token and broader digital asset market. This resolution represents a significant victory not just for Ripple, but for the entire digital asset space — bringing clarity, confidence, and renewed momentum to a market long constrained by regulatory ambiguity. The implications of the decision are far-reaching. It reaffirms the viability of utility-driven digital assets, strengthens the legal foundation for non-security token classifications, and sets a tone for more balanced engagement between innovators and regulators. In light of this development, Digital Commodities confirms it currently holds 103,000 XRP tokens in its corporate treasury and is actively evaluating further exposure to Ripple and Ripple-affiliated assets, technologies, and complementary companies within the XRP ecosystem as part of its broader strategy to build long-term value through diversified digital assets. Brayden Sutton, CEO of Digital Commodities, commented: "This is a defining moment for the crypto space. Ripple’s resolution with the SEC provides a roadmap for the kind of clarity and cooperation this industry needs to truly scale. At Digital Commodities, we believe strongly in the future of compliant, utility-based digital assets — and XRP is a prime example. We are pleased to already hold some XRP in our treasury, and we’ll continue to explore opportunities that complement Ripple’s ecosystem and align with our long-term investment thesis."
