Some of the statements contained and incorporated by reference herein, including, without limitation, financial and business prospects and financial outlooks, may be "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "forward-looking statements") which reflect management's expectations regarding future plans and intentions, growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities. Words such as "may", "will," "should", "could", "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "intend", "plan", "potential", "continue" and similar expressions have been used to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management's current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, changes in general economic and market conditions and other risks and uncertainties including those discussed under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Prospectus and certain documents incorporated by reference including the AIF (as defined below). Although the forward-looking statements are based upon what management believes to be reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis and opinions of management made in light of its experience and its perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors management believes to be reasonable and relevant in the circumstances and at the date that such statements are made, management cannot assure readers that actual results will be consistent with these forward looking statements. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Some of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this short form prospectus include, without limitation, assumptions regarding the prospectivity of the Corporation's platform and services, potential returns on its investments from time to time, projected capital and operating costs, availability of financing, success of acquisition, investment and development activities, and the absence of materially adverse changes in equity markets that may impact the Corporation.

Forward-looking statements and other information contained herein concerning management's general expectations are based on estimates prepared by management using data from publicly available industry sources as well as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of cryptocurrency and other applicable technological industries which management believes to be reasonable. However, this data is inherently imprecise, although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics. While management is not aware of any misstatements regarding any industry data presented herein, the cryptocurrency and technology industries involve risks and uncertainties and industry data is subject to change based on various factors.

  • expectations as to future operations of Matador, including its future operations and/or investments from time to time;

  • the potential returns on future investments and/or acquisitions, and any future divestitures and/or spin-outs of divisions by Matador in connection with its investment strategies from time to time; and

Forward-looking information is based on the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analyses and opinions of management made in light of its experience and its perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors that management believes to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances at the date that such statements are made. In addition to other factors and assumptions which may be identified herein, assumptions have been made regarding, among other things:

  • litigation, regulatory actions, and compliance issues could subject Matador to fines, penalties, judgments, remediation costs, and requirements resulting in increased expenses;

  • the requirements of being a public company may strain Matador's resources, divert management's attention and affect its ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified board members;
  • an active public market for the Common Shares may not be maintained;
  • any inaccuracy or material omission in the information about, or relating to, Matador in its public disclosure record could result in unanticipated liabilities or increased expenses for Matador, or otherwise adversely affect the operational plans of Matador and its results of operations and financial condition; and

Summary of Business

Matador is a publicly traded Bitcoin ecosystem company that holds Bitcoin as its primary treasury asset and builds products designed to enhance the Bitcoin network. Matador's strategy combines strategic Bitcoin accumulation, Bitcoin-native product development, and participation in digital asset infrastructure, with a focus on driving long-term shareholder value while maintaining capital efficiency.

Matador is currently in the process of developing its digital gold platform (the "Digital Gold Platform") which enables the inscription of digital art onto physical gold. The platform integrates precious metals-based art with blockchain infrastructure on the Bitcoin Network. The Corporation's first product is "Grammies" which are digital gold collectibles which consist of 1-

4916-5525-2563.3


gram gold units with digital inscriptions recorded on Bitcoin. These units are tradable and transferable via Bitcoin wallets and can be converted into physical gold-based artwork.

Matador has also recently expanded its global footprint by entering into an agreement to invest in HODL Systems ("HODL"), one of India's first digital asset treasury companies, securing up to a 24% ownership stake. This investment strengthens Matador's position as a leading Bitcoin treasury company and underscores its commitment to the worldwide adoption of Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Under the terms of the agreement, the Corporation will commit to invest up to 24,20,61,470.48 Indian rupees in an aggregate of 60,69,746 share warrants that would provide the Corporation up to an approximate 24% ownership stake in HODL, assuming full exercise of the warrants.

With a Bitcoin-first strategy, and a clear focus on innovation, Matador is shaping the future of financial infrastructure on Bitcoin.

Strategic Shift Toward Bitcoin

Matador's initial operations were focused on the development of the Digital Gold Platform. However, as the digital asset landscape evolved, Matador recognized a growing opportunity to realign its strategy around Bitcoin—a decentralized, secure, and programmable asset that the Corporation believes represents the strongest foundation for digital financial infrastructure. The Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a strategic pivot to focus the Corporation's efforts on building, investing in, and holding assets across the Bitcoin ecosystem. This included adopting Bitcoin as the Corporation's primary treasury reserve asset and reorienting all product development around Bitcoin-first principles.

This shift was driven by three converging factors:

  1. Product alignment – Matador's existing gold platform remains consistent with a Bitcoin-native thesis, offering users exposure to real assets with transparent digital infrastructure.
  2. Platform integrity – Bitcoin's decentralization, security, and immutability provide the strongest base layer for long-term digital value.
  3. Strategic flexibility – As a public company with a growing Bitcoin position, Matador is positioned to capture long-term shareholder value by participating directly in the development of the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Matador's refined mission is to become a leading Bitcoin treasury company—accumulating and holding Bitcoin, investing in Bitcoin-native infrastructure, and building products that bridge traditional and digital value systems. The Digital Gold Platform remains a core component of this strategy and launched publicly in July 2025.

This evolution reflects a deliberate and long-term commitment to Bitcoin. By aligning its treasury, investments, and product roadmap with the Bitcoin network, Matador aims to serve as a gateway between legacy financial systems and the emerging decentralized economy.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

There has been no material change in the share and loan capital of the Corporation, on a consolidated basis, since the date of the Interim Financial Statements, which are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, other than as set forth below.

On May 26 and May 28, 2025, the Corporation issued an aggregate of 5,452,773 units (“May Units”) at a price of $0.55 per May Unit for gross proceeds of $2,999,025.15. Each May Unit consisted of one Common Share and one-half of one share purchase warrant (each whole such share purchase warrant, a “May Warrant”), with each May Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.75 for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance, subject to acceleration. If after the date which is four months and one day after the date of issuance of the May Warrants, the closing price of the Common Shares is at a price equal to or greater than $1.05 for a period of 5 consecutive trading days, the Corporation will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the May Warrants by giving notice, via a news release, to the holders of the May Warrants that the May Warrants will expire on the date that is 30 days after the issuance of said news release. In connection with the closing, the Corporation issued an aggregate of 63,760 broker warrants (the "May Broker Warrants") to eligible registrants assisting in the offering, each exercisable to acquire one Common Share at $0.75 for a period of 12 months subject to the same acceleration provisions as the May Warrants.

On May 30, June 4 and June 6, 2025, the Corporation issued an aggregate of 7,419,354 units (“June Units”) at a price of $0.62 per June Unit for gross proceeds of $4,599,999. Each June Unit consisted of one Common Share and one-half of one share purchase warrant (each whole such share purchase warrant, a “June Warrant”), with each June Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.77 for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance, subject to acceleration. If after the date which is four months and one day after the date of issuance of the June Warrants, the closing price of the Common Shares is at a price equal to or greater than $1.15 for a period of 5 consecutive trading days, the Corporation will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the June Warrants by giving notice, via a news release, to the holders of the June Warrants that the June Warrants will expire on the date that is 30 days after the issuance of said news release. In connection with the closing, the Corporation issued an aggregate of 152,165 broker warrants (the "June Broker Warrants") to eligible registrants assisting in the offering, each exercisable to acquire one Common Share at $0.77 for a period of 12 months subject to the same acceleration provisions as the June Warrants.

The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Corporation as at April 30, 2025 (based on the Interim Financial Statements), both before and after giving effect to the issuance of the May Units and June Units (collectively, the "Offerings").

EARNINGS COVERAGE RATIOS

If the Corporation offers any Debt Securities having a term to maturity in excess of one year under a Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus Supplement will include earnings coverage ratios giving effect to the issuance of such Debt Securities, as applicable.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of Securities for cash will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, funding ongoing operations and/or capital requirements, purchasing Bitcoin and/or other cryptocurrency to hold in the Corporation's treasury, strategic acquisitions, reducing the level of indebtedness outstanding from time to time, discretionary capital programs, development and marketing of the Corporation's technological initiatives and potential future acquisitions. Each Prospectus Supplement will contain specific information, if any, concerning the use of proceeds from that sale of Securities.

All expenses relating to an offering of Securities and any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, will be paid out of the Corporation's funds, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

The Corporation incurred negative operating cash flow for the financial year ended October 31, 2024. The Corporation expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of Securities under this Prospectus in pursuit of objectives set out in the preceding paragraphs and as supplemented by each Prospectus Supplement; however, to the extent that the Corporation continues to have negative operating cash flows in future periods, it may need to deploy a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of Securities under this Prospectus and/or its existing working capital to fund such negative cash flows. In addition, the funds raised pursuant to any sale of Securities under this Prospectus may not be sufficient to fund the Corporation's objectives as set out above and as supplemented by Prospectus Supplements to this Prospectus. See "Risk Factors".

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Corporation may sell the Securities, separately or together, to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals for public offerings and sales by them, and also may sell Securities to one or more other purchasers directly or through agents. Each Prospectus Supplement will set forth the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters or agents, the

4916-5525-2563.3


purchase price or prices of the Securities and the proceeds to the Corporation from sales of the Securities.

The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The prices at which the Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If, in connection with the offering of Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial public offering price fixed in such Prospectus Supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to the Corporation.

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Corporation to indemnification by the Corporation against certain liabilities, including liabilities under Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Corporation in the ordinary course of business.

In connection with any offering of Securities, except as otherwise set out in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities, the underwriters, dealers and/or agents may over-allot or effect transactions intended to maintain or stabilize the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. A purchaser who acquires securities forming part of any such over-allocation position acquires those securities under this short form base shelf prospectus, regardless of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the overallotment option or secondary market purchases.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON SHARES

The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares. There were 105,940,705 Common Shares issued and outstanding as of July 10, 2025.

Each Common Share carries the right to one vote. The holders of the Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of, to attend, and to vote at all meetings of the Corporation's shareholders. The Common Shares are entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the directors, and rank pari passu with one another in any distribution of property or assets upon the liquidation, winding-up or other dissolution of the Corporation. The Common Shares carry no pre-emptive rights, conversion or exchange rights, retraction, sinking fund or purchase fund provisions. There are no provisions requiring the holders of the Common Shares to contribute additional capital and no restrictions on the issuance of additional securities by the Corporation. There are no restrictions on the repurchase or redemption of Common Shares by the Corporation except as any such repurchase or redemption would render the Corporation insolvent pursuant to the OBCA.

PURCHASERS' STATUTORY AND CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus or a prospectus supplement (including a pricing supplement) relating to the securities purchased by a purchaser and any amendment thereto. In several of the provinces of Canada, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, damages, if the prospectus or prospectus supplement (including a pricing supplement) relating to the securities purchased by a purchaser and any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's province. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

Original purchasers of Securities which are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for other securities of the Corporation (including, if offered separately, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, and convertible or exchangeable debt securities) will have a contractual right of rescission against the Corporation in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Securities. Other than in the case of an offering of Warrants that may reasonably be regarded as incidental to the offering as a whole, the contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive the original amount paid for the convertible securities and any additional amount paid upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such securities, upon surrender of the underlying securities gained thereby, in the event that this Prospectus, the relevant Prospectus Supplement or an amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of such Securities under this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of the purchase of such Securities under this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under section 130.1 the Securities Act (Ontario) or otherwise at law.

Original purchasers are further advised that in certain provinces the statutory right of action for damages in connection with a prospectus misrepresentation is limited to the amount paid for the

4916-5525-2563.3


Securities that were purchased under a prospectus, and therefore, a further payment at the time of conversion, exchange or exercise may not be recoverable in a statutory action for damages. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the province in which the purchaser resides for the particulars of these rights, or consult with a legal advisor.
