Arizona Tribune - Kaya Holdings, Inc. Releases Update on Development of Cryptocurrency Subsidiary and Digital Assets Treasury

Thomas is a seasoned corporate attorney and capital markets strategist with extensive experience in the digital asset sector and has worked on billion-dollar transactions with leading venture firms in the crypto space, including Polychain Capital, VanEck, Frictionless Capital, EV3, and others. The Greentree Team has been involved with a number of recent high profile crypto treasury deals both as an investor and as a financial advisor, providing introductions to and working with registered broker-dealers and investment banking firms that have provided investment capital to companies that have built crypto treasuries.

While the Company has not yet entered into a definitive agreement with any third party, Thomas and the Company's representatives are exploring opportunities with two different groups introduced by Thomas. The Company also plans to engage in dialogue with other cryptocurrency foundations.

KAYS Seeks Potential Cryptocurrency Candidates for Joint Venture Partnership Leading to a Kaya Holdings DATCO

The Company is seeking to develop a joint venture with one or more of the top 200+/- crypto currencies as ranked by market cap. The preferred candidate(s) would most likely be built on the Solana Network (Solana, with its high throughput offers low transaction costs, is ideal for smart contracts, offers optimal strategies for liquidity, lending and leveraged trading, and is user friendly with an emphasis on security), or the Ethereum or Polygon Networks, which both have significant advantages as well. Interested cryptocurrency foundations and other entities and individuals involved with cryptocurrency organizations are urged to reach out to [email protected] and open a confidential dialogue.

Why Would Investors Buy a DATCO Instead of the Underlying Cryptocurrency?

One of the structural tailwinds supporting the DATCO model is the regulatory limitation on direct crypto exposure faced by large institutional allocators. As economist Lyn Alden notes in "The Rise of Bitcoin Stocks and Bonds," trillions of dollars in global capital are managed under mandates that prohibit direct ownership of digital assets but permit investments in publicly listed equities. For these investors (pensions, sovereign wealth funds, endowments), DATCOs offer compliant access to crypto exposure, and their share prices often reflect this scarcity. Instead of just buying the crypto already on the balance sheet, investors are buying the regulatory arbitrage and capital formation flywheel these companies represent.

Joint Venture and the Path Forward

When and if a a joint venture is established and the Company begins to bring yield generating digital assets onto its balance sheet, the goal is for the Company to work towards an uplisting to the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Nasdaq is a much more mature and sophisticated trading market with access to a large number of potential investors which could potentially assist the Company in fully implementing its Digital Asset Treasury strategy in a relatively short period of time.

The Company confirms it has entered into both debt reduction and debt conversion agreements with its debt holders to convert over 90% of its existing debt into equity, so as to provide a much cleaner balance sheet for the potential joint venture and restructuring to a DATCO.

Additionally, the Company has begun to reach out to different entities in Grand Cayman, a leading global offshore financial center, to help build out its planned cryptocurrency operations. In recent years, Grand Cayman and the Cayman Islands have emerged as a Cryptocurrency and Digital Assets Financial Center, and the Company is working to leverage its contacts there for both potential investment in the cryptocurrency subsidiary and access to cryptocurrency trading and service platforms.
