Vancouver, BC, Oct. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spirit Blockchain Capital Inc. (CSE: SPIR) ("Spirit" or the "Purchaser"), a focused blockchain technology and digital asset management company, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Dogecoin Portfolio Holdings Corp. ("Dogecoin Holdings"), a company founded by a team of visionary entrepreneurs and supporters of Dogecoin (DOGE), one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Launched in 2013, Dogecoin has grown from a pioneering "memecoin" to a highly decentralized and liquid cryptocurrency, supported by over 6.7 million active addresses and a vibrant community of 2.5 million members on the r/dogecoin subreddit.

This acquisition represents a pivotal milestone in Spirit’s strategic growth plan, strengthening its position as a key player in the rapidly evolving blockchain and digital asset management sectors, particularly within the Dogecoin ecosystem. By integrating Dogecoin Holdings’ intellectual property and market expertise, Spirit aims to drive innovation in digital asset products and expand its revenue-generating capabilities. This strategic acquisition is designed to attract both retail and institutional investors by leveraging Dogecoin’s cultural relevance and large user base, while enhancing the utility and accessibility of DOGE on a global scale.

“We are excited about the growth opportunities this acquisition brings to Spirit,” said Lewis Bateman, CEO of Spirit Blockchain Capital. “The financial sector is undergoing a profound shift towards decentralized solutions, with blockchain technology at the core of this transformation. By acquiring Dogecoin Holdings, we are well-positioned to develop innovative financial products that will drive value for our shareholders and advance the future of decentralized finance.”

Looking ahead, Spirit will focus on broadening its range of partnerships and launching new products to increase global adoption of Dogecoin. With several key product launches and strategic initiatives in the pipeline, Spirit is well on track to deliver significant advancements in blockchain-based financial services. Join us on this thrilling adventure as we continue to shape decentralized finance and build lasting value for our shareholders.

Why DOGE?
Dogecoin (DOGE) has rapidly grown beyond its roots as a 'memecoin,’ capturing the imagination of the public and evolving into a globally recognized digital asset. With endorsements from high-profile figures such as Elon Musk and a dedicated community, Dogecoin has achieved a market cap exceeding $16 billion. 

Chandler Song, Investor and Strategic Advisor of Dogecoin Portfolio Holdings Corp., added: "Dogecoin has always stood out for its community-driven nature and cultural significance, and this partnership with Spirit Blockchain Capital will help us elevate that to new heights. Our combined expertise will allow us to create new ways for people to interact with and invest in Dogecoin, increasing its relevance both as a financial tool and a cultural asset."

Under the terms of the agreement, Spirit will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Dogecoin Holdings, including common shares and share purchase warrants, from the Company’s shareholders (the “Vendors”). In exchange, Spirit will issue 14,000,000 common shares and 14,000,000 share purchase warrants, with each warrant exercisable at $0.05 per share for a period of 24 months from the closing. This strategic acquisition is structured to facilitate Spirit’s integration with Dogecoin Holdings’ assets and operations, creating long-term value for shareholders of both companies.
