Ethereum Staking Restart: Mega Matrix Secures 40 ETH, Names Crypto Expert Director

SINGAPORE, July 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mega Matrix Inc. (NYSE American: MPU) today announced two strategic initiatives: the reinstatement of its Ethereum staking business as part of a broader Web3–focused strategy, and the appointment of Mr. Yaman Demir as Executive Director to leverage his expertise in digital assets.

Business Strategy Update
As previously disclosed, the Board of Directors approved the purchase of Bitcoin and/or Ethereum to hold as treasury reserve assets. In light of recent regulatory clarity, the Board decided to restart of its Ethereum (“ETH“) staking business. The Company had originally launched ETH staking in 2022 but suspended operations in 2024 due to regulatory uncertainty. During its prior operations, the Company developed substantial expertise and operational experience in ETH staking. By reinstating its solo staking business, the Company intends to earn staking rewards that can be reinvested into ETH or used for general corporate purposes, thereby enhancing long–term shareholder value.

Under the updated strategy, the Company will conduct solo staking exclusively through third–party certified, institutional–grade providers such as Coinbase. All ETH assets will be safeguarded with established custodians, including Coinbase Custodian and Cactus Wallet. As of July 2, 2025, the Company has purchased 40 ETH with the price of $2,462 per ETH.

These initiatives underscore the Company’s dedication to fortifying its financial foundation and judiciously extending into adjacent sectors. The Company remains poised to build upon this momentum—continually refining its approach as the digital–asset landscape evolves—to deliver consistent, long–term value to shareholders.

Appointment of Mr. Yaman Demir

On June 27, 2025, the Board appointed Mr. Yaman Demir as an executive director to the Board of Directors to the Company.

Mr. Yaman Demir is a seasoned digital asset investor with a proven track record of successful exits across 20+ crypto projects. His investment portfolio spans key sectors including DeFi, NFT infrastructure, Layer1 network and stable coins.
