AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Volcon, Inc. (NASDAQ: VLCN). (the “Company,” “Volcon” or “Empery Digital”) today announced updates to its bitcoin acquisition strategy and current holdings. Since its last update on July 25^th, the company has acquired an additional 316.8 BTC for a total purchase price of $37.3 million. As of the time of this release, the Company holds 3,500.18 BTC acquired for an aggregate purchase price of ~$412 million, reflecting an average effective purchase price of $117,683 per BTC. The purchase price reflects the benefit of premiums received as part of the Company’s broader BTC acquisition strategy which incorporates derivative sales to reduce the cost basis of BTC acquired. The Company sold additional short-term put contracts giving the Company the option to potentially buy additional BTC at strike prices between $115,000 and $118,000 at various times in the near future.

“Since closing on the $500 million private placement, the Gemini OTC desk has executed flawlessly with the Volcon treasury team. Gemini has consistently provided best-execution with clear and effective communication at all hours of the day. We could not be happier with our choice to work with Gemini as our custodian and strategic digital assets service provider. We have now moved the settled BTC holdings to segregated cold storage to protect the assets for shareholders,” said Ryan Lane, Co-CEO & Chairman of Volcon.

“Volcon’s team has been exceptional to work with–decisive and mission-focused. While Gemini has long been recognized for the strength and security of its custody platform, Volcon’s experience further emphasizes that Gemini’s OTC desk stands on equally solid ground. From trade execution and real-time communication through post-trade support, our team delivers the same caliber of professionalism, insight, and reliability that institutions expect and deserve when dealing in the digital asset space,” said Brad Vopni, Global Head of Institutional at Gemini.
