Moe Adham, Director and CIO said: “On behalf of the Company’s board of directors, I would like to
congratulate Tony Guoga on his appointment as CEO. The Board unanimously concluded that Mr.
Guoga’s leadership, entrepreneurial drive, and considerable knowledge of the world of blockchain
businesses and technologies, including cryptocurrencies, made him the right candidate to assume the role
as CEO and to lead the Company in continuing to pursue targeted investments in these areas.”
Mr. Guoga is a well-known investor, businessperson, high stakes poker player, and former member of
the European Parliament. His diverse accomplishments include being named as one of Politico

Commentating on the appointment, Mr. Guoga said: “I am delighted to have been chosen by my fellow
directors to lead Cypherpunk Holdings. I am an avid investor in bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and privacy
tech. I am an activist in advocating widespread use of strong cryptography and privacy-enhancing
technologies as a route to social and political change.”
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to invest in additional opportunities in
the cryptocurrency, blockchain and privacy sector. The additional capital will enable Cypherpunk
Holdings to execute on its unique position as a vehicle set-up to invest in companies, technologies and
protocols, which enhance or protect privacy. Its strategy is to make targeted investments in businesses
and assets with strong privacy, often within the blockchain ecosystem, including select cryptocurrencies.
