Fold Holdings, Inc. sold approximately $45 million of Bitcoin at an average price of approximately $71,000 per Bitcoin to eliminate $20 million of bitcoin-collateralized debt and retain $25 million of unrestricted cash. The company allocated the remaining funds toward growth initiatives across its business. These transactions were undertaken to strengthen the balance sheet, improve cash flows, and position Fold to scale its consumer and enterprise platforms.

As a result of these capital transactions, Fold eliminated all secured debt and strengthened its liquidity. The company maintained a meaningful Bitcoin treasury position and improved its monthly net cash flows. Additionally, the increased capacity is expected to support future growth initiatives and financing partnerships.

Strategic Impact and Growth

The strengthened balance sheet is expected to accelerate the growth of the Fold Bitcoin Credit Card. Increased liquidity and financing flexibility position the company to support a larger cardholder base, pursue additional funding relationships, and participate more meaningfully in the economics generated by the program as it scales. Management identifies the Credit Card as a significant long-term growth opportunity within the Fold ecosystem.

These actions also help Fold improve cash flows by immediately eliminating monthly cash interest payments. The company anticipates that its cash flow profile can continue improving throughout the year as new products launch, customer activity increases, financing partnerships come online, and operating leverage improves across the platform.

Financial Position and Outlook

Fold continues to maintain a meaningful Bitcoin treasury position following the transaction while retaining the flexibility to monetize additional holdings when doing so represents the highest-return investment for shareholders. The company's revolving credit facility also remains available to support future growth initiatives.

"We believe Fold is poised for near-term growth and investing in that future is exactly what the company needs to do," said Will Reeves, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Fold. "Over the past year, we've built one of the strongest product roadmaps in our history. In addition to our recently launched Credit Card, Bitcoin Gift Card, and Fold Business products, we plan to introduce new products over the coming months that we believe will expand the market for our business. Increased liquidity and lower debt ensure we have the resources and flexibility to execute our plans during this pivotal moment for Fold."

Reeves further stated, "This decision reflects our conviction in Fold. We have reduced financing risk, strengthened our balance sheet, and ensured that short-term market volatility cannot stand in the way of executing our roadmap. As we approach several product launches, we believe Fold is entering one of the most important growth periods in the company's history."
