Highlights

  • Applications received for a private placement to raise $10.3 million (before costs).

  • Company to undertake rights issue to raise up to an additional $5.09 million from existing shareholders.

  • Appointment of Mr Antanas (Tony) Guoga as a strategic advisor to drive Company’s expansion and growth in digital asset staking and investment.

  • The capital raising will be enhanced with around 41 Bitcoin being received from the Mt Gox administrators throughout calendar year 2025.

DigitalX Limited (ASX:DCC, OTCQB: DGGXF) (“DigitalX”, “the Company”) is pleased to advise that it has secured subscriptions for a private placement to raise $10.3 million (before costs) through the issue of 219,148,936 shares at $0.047 per share (the “Placement”). The Company will also be undertaking a rights issue to all existing shareholders to raise up to a further $5.09 million on the same terms as the Placement.

The Placement and rights issue will raise approximately $15.4 million in total. The Placement was strongly supported by a number of existing and new sophisticated investors. Directors of the Company have committed $611,000 under the Placement, subject to shareholder approval.

In addition, the Board has engaged Mr Antanas Guoga (Tony G), an experienced digital asset and blockchain enabler, in an advisory role, assisting the Company to expand and grow its existing digital asset staking and validation services to grow revenues and asset values. Mr Guoga has invested $4.7 million under the Placement, with his investment subject to a 12-month voluntary escrow period.

In consideration for his role as a strategic advisor, Mr Guoga will receive 25 million options in the Company, exercisable at $0.10 on or before the date that is 2 years from issue, subject to receipt of the approval of the Company’s shareholders at a general meeting to be convened for late January 2025. The advisory agreement is otherwise for a term of 2 years and is on terms reasonably expected for an agreement of this nature.

Mr Guoga is the Chair of Canadian listed Solana Strategies Inc. and has substantial experience in digital assets investment and business growth.
