Core Portfolio Holdings

• Physical uranium holdings approximating roughly 1,454 pounds of U₃O₈ held indirectly through units of the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (TSX: U.UN)

The Company maintains a strategic view on uranium as a key component of global energy transition, and believes fundamentals remain strong for long-term price appreciation. U₃O₈ (triuranium octoxide) is critical to the tech sector and the future of energy because it fuels nuclear power-one of the most reliable, low-carbon energy sources needed to support the rapidly growing demand for clean electricity in data centers, AI infrastructure, and global electrification.

• Physical copper holdings approximating 16,719 pounds of copper held via the Sprott Physical Copper Trust (TSX: COP.UN)

Copper is the backbone of the modern economy - often called the "glue of the modern world," copper is essential due to its unmatched conductivity and versatility. It plays a critical role across nearly every major sector-from EVs and renewable energy to semiconductors, 5G, and construction-cementing its place as a cornerstone of the digital and electrified future.

• Physical silver holdings approximating 3,470 ounces of silver held via the Sprott Physical Silver Trust (TSX: PSLV)

Silver is a critical industrial metal with unmatched thermal and electrical conductivity, making it essential for solar panels, EVs, semiconductors, and the entire green energy transition-while also serving as real money and a timeless store of value in uncertain markets.

• XRP holdings approximating 108,000 XRP tokens of the digital asset, leveraging Ripple's blockchain technology for fast, low-cost cross-border payments and growing institutional adoption.

The Company holds exposure to one of the most widely adopted digital assets in the blockchain space-XRP-designed for fast, low-cost cross-border payments and increasingly integrated into institutional settlement systems. XRP sits at the intersection of traditional finance and crypto, offering real utility in a sector seeking both scalability and regulatory clarity.

• Gold Exposure: In addition to its physical metals holdings, the Company maintains strategic equity positions, including 10,000,000 common shares of Gold Finder Resources Ltd., acquired at an approximate $1.1 million pre-money valuation. Following the investment, the Company appointed a Director to Gold Finder's board at the request of the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE).

In addition to its core holdings, Digital Commodities is actively evaluating new opportunities across the mining, energy, critical materials, and technology sectors-consistent with its disciplined, high-conviction investment strategy that avoids the use of debt or leverage.
