Landmark collaboration to implement institutional-grade accumulation and yield strategies for a public-market DATCO, with a strict focus on security, liquidity, and compliance.

BTCS S.A. (NewConnect: BTF) (“BTCS” or the “Company”) announced a strategic partnership with QCP Group (“QCP”), a global leader in digital asset solutions, to develop and execute risk-managed, institutional-grade strategies for the Company’s Bitcoin treasury. The collaboration supports BTCS’s Active Treasury approach, moving beyond passive holdings to disciplined, rules-based accumulation and yield generation that prioritizes liquidity buffers, without using leverage, and rigorous governance.

Under the partnership, QCP will architect and deploy customized strategies that could include cash-secured option structures, accumulator frameworks, and other market-tested instruments designed to put treasury assets to work safely, subject to BTCS’s risk limits, approvals, and applicable regulations. The program is built around security and transparency, using qualified custodians with segregated accounts, pre-trade and post-trade approval workflows, and continuous risk monitoring. All activities follow documented operational controls and reporting standards aligned with public-company requirements, ensuring auditable processes and full regulatory compliance.

“Partnering with QCP is a deliberate step in BTCS’s move from ‘hold only’ to earn-and-build,” said Marlena Lipińska, CEO of BTCS S.A. “Our mandate is straightforward: safeguard assets, keep liquidity first, avoid leverage, and generate regulated, repeatable income where the risk-reward makes sense. QCP’s institutional pedigree and process discipline help us do exactly that. through cycles.”

"We look forward to supporting BTCS with a comprehensive, risk-managed toolkit that brings the best of traditional treasury techniques to digital assets- combining security, compliance, operational excellence, and strategies designed to introduce meaningful convexity to their portfolio." - Darius Sit, Founder, QCP Group

• Public-Market Transparency: Governance, disclosures, and reporting consistent with BTCS’s listed-company obligations, plus qualified custody and operational controls.
