MANAGEMENT REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
Background and Context
Stack BTC Plc (the «Company») was incorporated and admitted to trading on the
Aquis Growth Market in its prior form as Kasei Digital Assets Plc, a digital
assets investment company. Following a strategic review and recapitalisation,
the Board resolved to reposition the Company as an operating company focused on
acquiring profitable businesses alongside a Bitcoin treasury – a model that the
Directors believe offers shareholders a compelling opportunity.
The Company’s mission is to acquire and operate a group of businesses which will
enable the Company to accumulate and maximise Bitcoin per share. The Company
will operate a dual-engine strategy, through the disciplined combination of
capital markets activity and strategic business acquisitions.
The Directors believe that this model of focusing strongly on the acquisition of
profitable operating companies will redefine and relaunch investor appetite in
the newly emerging ‘Bitcoin Treasury’ sector and more firmly establish both
institutional and retail investor interest in listed companies that hold Bitcoin
as a core treasury asset.
A critical precondition to commencing the new strategy was the completion of a
capital reduction to return capital to the shareholders. The Directors are
pleased to confirm that this capital reduction was completed during the period
under review and has been duly reflected in the financial statements. The Board
considers this a foundational step, formally drawing a line under the prior
business model and establishing a clean balance sheet from which the Company can
execute its strategy with clarity and purpose.
Fundraising and Capital Deployment
Since formally launching its new acquisitions and Bitcoin treasury strategy, the
Company has raised £4,277,900 in aggregate through equity fundraisings. The
Directors are encouraged by the level of investor engagement received since the
relaunch and regard the capital raised to date as a meaningful validation of the
proposition. The Board recognises that the Company remains at an early stage of
its development and that these initial steps represent the first phases of
execution of its business strategy.
Outlook and Priorities
The six months ended 31 January 2026 have been a period of significant
structural progress for the Company. The completion of the capital reduction,
the formalisation of the new strategy, and the initial fundraising activity
represent the foundations upon which the Board intends to build. The Company has
also entered into a strategic partnership and welcomed leading industry player,
Blockchain.com as a long-term investor in the Company. The Company also received
widespread press attention as it welcomed Nigel Farage, also as a long-term
investor.
Looking ahead, the Board’s main priority is to execute the acquisition of its
first operating business, to set the dual-engine Bitcoin accumulation strategy
in motion. The Board has begun its search phase and is currently reviewing and
in discussions with several potential acquisition targets. M&A activity takes
time to move through the various search, due diligence, legal, accounting and
regulatory phases and the Board is working diligently in this regard. Secondly,
the Board will continue to raise capital through the capital markets, where
appropriate and depending on market conditions, through additional issuances
which grow Bitcoin holdings per share in an accretive manner for shareholders.
Thirdly, the Board intends to build the Company’s profile within the investment
community, both in the UK and internationally as a differentiated and well
-governed Bitcoin treasury vehicle.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
1. General information
Stack BTC Plc is a public limited company limited by shares and incorporated in
England. Its registered office is 85 Charlotte Street, London, England, W1T 4PS,
United Kingdom.
The Company’s shares are traded on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market under
ticker STAK and ISIN number GB00BSMKZ421.
The company is focused on building a portfolio of high-quality, cash-generative
businesses, alongside a Bitcoin treasury. Operating businesses are intended to
ensure that the company has recurring revenues, profits and positive cash flow
that can enable the company’s treasury to grow in a non-dilutive way, alongside
capital market activities. STAK’s Bitcoin treasury strategy is a result of
management’s strong conviction in Bitcoin’s characteristics as a promising long
-term store of value when accumulated appropriately and backed by real economic
activity.
The interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 January 2026 are
unaudited and have not been reviewed by the Company’s auditors Brindley
Goldstein.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention
unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance
with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the
use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to
exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
2.2 Foreign currency translation Functional and presentation currency
The Company’s functional and presentational currency is GBP.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using
the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the
closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated
using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items
measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was
determined.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions
and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss
except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow
hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash
equivalents are presented in the Profit and Loss Account within ‘finance income
or costs’. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit
or loss within ‘other operating income’.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
2.Accounting policies (continued)
2.3 Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic
benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or
receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
2.4 Taxation
Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item
of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item
recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income
or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the
countries where the Company operates and generates income.
2.5 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the
revaluation model, intangible assets shall be carried at a revalued amount,
being its fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated
amortisation and subsequent impairment losses – provided that the fair value can
be determined by reference to an active market.
Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying
amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair
value at the end of the balance sheet date.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable
estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten
years.
2.6 Valuation of investments
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
Investments in unlisted Company shares, whose market value can be reliably
determined, are remeasured to market value at each balance sheet date. Gains and
losses on remeasurement are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account for the
period. Where market value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are
stated at historic cost less impairment.
2.7 Debtors
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans
receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and
are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method,
less any impairment.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
2.Accounting policies (continued)
2.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions
repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents
are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the
date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash
with insignificant risk of change in value.
2.9 Creditors
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial
liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of
transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.

Capital reorganisation note
During the period, the Company completed a court-approved capital reduction in
accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
The reduction involved the cancellation of the entire issued share capital and
share premium account. The resulting credit of approximately £3.5 million was
recognised in a capital reduction reserve.
This reserve was deemed distributable and was subsequently utilised to fund a
return of capital to shareholders.
Distribution
A distribution of approximately £3.5 million was made to shareholders during the
period, representing substantially all of the Company’s realised assets
following the disposal of its cryptocurrency holdings.
Share cancellation and new issue
Following the capital reduction and distribution, the existing ordinary shares
were cancelled.
The Company subsequently issued 20,000,000 new ordinary shares of £0.01 each for
cash consideration of £200,000 as part of a recapitalisation of the Company.
