Strategic capital deployment into TAO advances Synaptogenix's blockchain treasury model, leveraging BitGo's custody, trading and staking capabilities to generate token-based yield

NEW YORK, June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Synaptogenix (NASDAQ: SNPX) today announced its initial purchase of TAO as part of the Company's recently announced cryptocurrency treasury strategy focused exclusively on artificial intelligence (Al) and machine learning. BitGo, the leading infrastructure provider of digital asset solutions, has been selected to provide qualified custody, staking and trading services for Synaptogenix's TAO holdings. BitGo brings unmatched expertise and a proven track record to help Synaptogenix implement its treasury strategy.

"Under the guidance of James Altucher, our Crypto TAO strategy leader, we made our initial purchase of TAO, the leading crypto Al token, and have begun staking the token for revenue generation and capital appreciation," said Joshua Silverman, Executive Chairman at Synaptogenix. "We have engaged BitGo, the leader in crypto infrastructure, as custodian for our TAO holdings. Our partnership with BitGo underscores our Company's commitment to both our Al pure play crypto strategy and our long-term conviction thesis for TAO. Our top priority is significant value creation for our shareholders."

BitGo will secure Synaptogenix's digital assets in regulated, insured cold storage with BitGo Trust Company, Inc. and facilitate the Company's planned acquisitions of TAO through its affiliated trading platforms¹, including access to deep liquidity via its OTC desk. TAO will be staked directly from qualified custody with BitGo Trust, enabling Synaptogenix to generate yield while maintaining the highest standards of security and regulatory compliance. BitGo's client service model and clients further reinforce its ability to meet Synaptogenix's unique digital asset needs. The Company has begun to generate revenue through TAO staking. The initial acquisition of TAO was funded by the Company's significant cash reserves and well-capitalized balance sheet.
