NFT Strategy Launch
GameSquare's NFT strategy will focus on Ethereum-native digital assets that align with its creative DNA, including culturally iconic digital art and collectibles. Rather than passively holding crypto assets, the Company is emphasizing capital efficiency and utilizing DeFi protocols to unlock stablecoin yield while enhancing the long-term value of its ETH holdings.
To ensure strong oversight, GameSquare has implemented a dedicated digital asset investment committee reporting to the Board. All allocations are reviewed for compliance, security, and valuation integrity. The Company does not engage in related-party transactions and has strict internal controls in place for digital asset custody and liquidity management.
"We are excited to be among the first public companies to include NFTs as part of a diversified digital asset strategy. This reflects the innovative approach to our treasury management initiatives.

In addition, our treasury program strengthens our balance sheet while building the potential for recurring cash flow from a rapidly evolving asset class. We are excited to report on our growing success," Kenna concluded.
GameSquare's custom ETH-focused yield generation strategy is built on top of Dialectic's proprietary platform Medici, which applies machine learning models, automated optimization, and multi-layered risk controls to generate best-in-class risk-adjusted returns. Targeted onchain yields of 8
