Canton Strategic Holdings, Inc.

Canton Strategic Holdings, Inc. is the first publicly traded company to leverage Canton Coin ("CC") and support the Canton Network to advance institutional blockchain adoption and the digitization of financial markets. In addition to driving value through activities on the Canton Network, the company also operates clinical-stage biotech research and development programs. From 2022 through late-2025, Canton Strategic Holdings primarily operated as a biotechnology company, developing therapeutic candidates in inflammatory and immunologic conditions with high unmet need. In November 2025, the company undertook a strategic shift to prioritize disciplined digital asset treasury management and investment in the digital asset ecosystem, specifically the Canton Network. Since November 2025, the company has strengthened its liquidity and expanded its access to capital through a public offering of common stock and private placements, and by establishing a shelf registration statement and its ATM Program. The company's Digital Asset Treasury Strategy is based on the belief that the configurable privacy enabled by the Canton Network's blockchain technology is transforming global finance by connecting leading institutions on a single, secure, and interoperable blockchain. The Canton Network delivers real-world utility, privacy, and atomic settlement, with trillions of assets represented on-chain and the support of major market participants. CC serves as the utility token for transactions on the Canton Network, with a tokenomics policy designed to drive transparency and align incentives across the ecosystem. Canton Strategic Holdings' strategic digital asset reserve of CC reflects its conviction in the potential of the Canton Network to drive efficiency, transparency, and resiliency in global markets. This Canton digital asset treasury strategy is part of a broader approach to enhancing its platform with capital efficiency, diversifying treasury management practices, and engaging with emerging financial technologies. The company intends to execute a diverse strategy, including Validator Operations and Network Participation, where it operates as a Super Validator and intends to run additional validator nodes on the Canton Network, expecting to earn recurring protocol-based validation rewards in CC and support network security, resiliency, and governance.
