Shareholder letter

Dear shareholders,

The past year has been a time of both change and progress for Goobit Group. We have continued to build on our vision to become a leading player in bitcoin and crypto-related assets in Europe, and I am proud of the results we have achieved.

In the first quarter of the year, we made strategic decisions to strengthen our market position. The acquisition of Snowbank AB's (BTCSWE) assets enabled the integration of their technology and customer base, further solidifying our position as the leading bitcoin exchange in Sweden. We also divested the Nova Exchange assets to fully focus on our core business – being a pure bitcoin exchange. These actions not only consolidated our position in the domestic market but also laid the groundwork for our expansion in Europe.

The second quarter was marked by preparations for the upcoming MiCA regulations from the EU. We carried out a successful new issue of shares, which was oversubscribed by 124.45%, and we switched our listing venue to the Nordic Growth Market (NGM). These steps have positioned us well to expand in Europe and drive innovation in the bitcoin sector. We have actively worked on establishing ourselves in new European markets and are continuously reviewing opportunities to consolidate with suitable actors that can provide us with greater market shares, new technology, or complement our product portfolio.

We have also focused on educating the market about bitcoin, both in the private and public sectors. Through collaborations with authorities and other actors, we have laid the groundwork for a deeper understanding of bitcoin and are now preparing to obtain a MiCA license. This will open up new opportunities for us to offer our services across the entire European Economic Area.

In the fourth quarter, we launched our OTC (Over-The-Counter) services under the BTCX brand, specially tailored for larger transactions. We also initiated partnerships to integrate Swish and other payment methods, improving the user experience and reducing our costs. These initiatives are crucial for making our platform more user-friendly and driving continued expansion.

Looking ahead, we see great opportunities to strengthen our position through strategic partnerships and acquisitions. By consolidating with actors who share our vision, we can not only increase our market share but also bring in new technology and broaden our product portfolio. This is part of our long-term strategy to become a leading force in our sector in Europe.

Our vision, as described in our investment memorandum, goes beyond just being a bitcoin exchange. We see bitcoin as a tool for economic inclusion and freedom. Through our collaboration with the Human Rights Foundation (HRF), we aim to protect human rights with the help of bitcoin. This work is central to our ambition to create an inclusive and sustainable future.

Thank you for your continued support throughout the year. We look forward to the opportunities the future holds and are ready to face them with determination and commitment.

Together, we are building the financial landscape of tomorrow.

Best regards,
Christian Ander, CEO
Goobit Group AB (publ)
