Twenty One Capital, Inc. (“Twenty One” or “XXI”) is building a Bitcoin-native public company designed to give investors differentiated exposure to Bitcoin. XXI’s strategy is to bring together Bitcoin treasury, financial services, mining, and capital markets into a single operating platform focused on recurring revenue, capital-efficient Bitcoin accumulation, and long-term value creation.

Tether International, S.A. de C.V. (“Tether International”), XXI’s controlling shareholder, announced today that it has acquired SoftBank Group’s stake in XXI, further aligning the Company’s shareholder base to advance its long-term Bitcoin strategy. At the closing of the transaction, SoftBank Group’s representatives on the XXI Board of Directors stepped down in accordance with XXI’s shareholder agreement.

SoftBank Group has played an important role in XXI’s formation and early development, bringing the perspective of one of the world’s most experienced technology investors to the Board. Its track record of backing category-defining companies across technology, infrastructure, financial services, and communications has helped shape global markets over multiple cycles, and its involvement gave XXI meaningful institutional depth at a foundational stage for the business.

With Tether’s deepened commitment, Twenty One enters its next phase with strong shareholder alignment and a clearer path to advance the operating vision it was created to pursue.

Twenty One remains focused on becoming the premier listed Bitcoin company in the world: a public company that moves beyond treasury exposure alone by combining Bitcoin treasury, financial services, mining, lending, capital markets, and strategic consolidation into one integrated platform.

The Company believes this approach can create a new model for Bitcoin-native public companies, with operating businesses and recurring revenue opportunities designed around long-term Bitcoin accumulation as the central objective.
