ABC in the Media
Africa Bitcoin Corporation is featured in the latest @BDliveSA Crypto supplement.
The feature includes an in-depth article on how ABC uses Bitcoin-backed capital to fund South African SMEs, as well as a thought leadership piece by our CEO and Founder, @wheatley_warren, on Bitcoin's role in Africa's financial future.

The flywheel is turning. Bitcoin on the balance sheet lowers the cost of capital. Lower cost of capital means better lending economics.
Better economics reach more SMEs across more African markets. More deal flow scales the Private Credit Fund. And the profits?
They flow back into Bitcoin, reinforcing the loop, compounding the impact.
This is what a Bitcoin-backed SME growth accelerator looks like in practice. Not a theory. A structure.

What a fortnight.
Friday before last, the @JSE_Group quietly moved us up to the Main Board - institutional territory, in one trading day. Tuesday brought the FY2026 audit: two unmodified opinions from Forvis Mazars, R16.9M of properly-counted profit at ABC, R502M under management at ACOF, and a 0.09% bad-debt rate that some much bigger names in global private credit would happily put their name on.
Wednesday? We bought more Bitcoin. Of course we did. Another 0.5085 BTC, financed against the stack rather than sold from it.
We're at 5.5331 BTC now. BTC Yield: 429.2% since inception.
Right now the team is somewhere over the Atlantic - @staffordmasie steps on stage in London tomorrow at The @smarterwebuk Unconference, and the room is unlikely to stay quiet for long.
Also representing Africa Bitcoin Corporation is CEO, founder @wheatley_warren and Head of Media and Investor Relations @TatumKeshwar
Opening of event by CEO of The Smarter Web Company, @asjwebley
Next week we're home, and the ACOF team holds court at @Batseta .
Stand 35. Bring questions.

“A year of execution.”
Today, Africa Bitcoin Corporation released its FY2026 Integrated Annual Report - marking a defining year in the evolution of Africa’s first listed Bitcoin treasury company, powered by an SME private credit engine.
FY2026 highlights include:
• R347.9 million in total group assets (+36.4%) • R146.7 million total group equity (+16.5%) • R16.5 million revenue and income (+114.3%) • 5.0246 BTC held in treasury • 381% BTC yield per diluted share • R502 million ACOF assets under management • 0.09% cumulative bad debts across the private credit portfolio • Listings expanded across five trading venues on three continents
This year was not about speculation. It was about execution.
From launching Africa’s first Bitcoin treasury strategy integrated with private credit, to expanding our international market footprint and lowering our cost of capital through Bitcoin-backed lending, FY2026 demonstrated the strength of ABC’s dual-engine model.
Not a single Bitcoin has been sold. Held through the cycle.

Africa Bitcoin Corporation turns 4 today!
From a single listing in 2022 @CapitalAltvest to a multi-exchange, multi-continent platform — the journey has been defined by disciplined execution and a clear thesis.
Milestones over 4 years:
5 trading destinations across 3 continents (CTSE, JSE, NSX, OTCQB, Börse Frankfurt)
R500m+ assets under management
5.0246 BTC on balance sheet
44 SMEs funded through ACOF
21 sectors backed
2,084 jobs supported
Built by a team of 20
But the model matters as much as the milestones.
While others liquidate Bitcoin to survive, ABC uses yield to accumulate more.
Our private credit fund finances African SMEs - businesses creating jobs, building industries, and driving growth across the continent. That lending generates real, recurring income.
That income protects the Bitcoin treasury.
Yield-backed: Real cash flow means Bitcoin stays in treasury and compounds over time
Cycle-resilient: Downturns don’t force selling - income provides a floor
Structurally designed not to sell: From conservative LTVs to fiat buffers, everything is built to avoid forced liquidation
As Founder & CEO Warren Wheatley @wheatley_warren puts it:
“Hard money on the balance sheet. Productive capital in the real economy.”
Four years in — the model is proven.
Next phase: scale.

Strong governance is the foundation of enduring companies — and Africa Bitcoin Corporation continues to take decisive steps forward.
We are pleased to announce a restructuring of our Board of Directors, reflecting the Company's growth, its commitment to robust accountability, and its continued drive to lead Bitcoin adoption across the African continent.

He was appointed Director of Batseta (Council of Retirement Funds of South Africa) in 2024. His appointment brings significant depth in financial oversight and institutional governance to the Board.
Mr @staffordmasie steps down as Board Chair but remains as Executive Director and joins the Social and Ethics Committee.
Mr @wheatley_warren, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of the Company, has stepped down as a member of the Group's Social and Ethics Committee.
Africa Bitcoin Corporation is building the governance infrastructure required to go the distance — for its shareholders, its partners, and for Africa.
The future of Bitcoin in Africa is being built right here.

In an insightful opinion piece, CEO Warren Wheatley of JSE-listed, US-trading company, makes the case that Africa Bitcoin Corporation's private credit strategy in ACOF, is the solution both the US and the broader global market have long been waiting for. Make sure to read as Warren Wheatley addresses the following pivotal questions:
•Are private credit risks being assessed using complete and comparable data?
•How does asset-backed, cash-generating lending compare to more leveraged structures?
•What role does transparency and public disclosure play in evaluating performance?
•Are African SME credit markets being measured using frameworks designed for developed markets?
The piece discusses how African private credit should be assessed on its own terms, with closer attention to factors such as collateral, disclosure and the nature of the borrower base, rather than through assumptions borrowed from other markets.

Last week, Africa Bitcoin Corporation (ABC)’s SME funding vehicle, Altvest Credit Opportunities Fund (ACOF) filed a formal SENS announcement on the JSE disclosing ACOF's loan book performance as at 28 February 2026.
A SENS is not a press release. It is a regulated, board-approved disclosure filed with the exchange every number signed off by our directors and published to the market. When we share these figures, you can rely on them.
So here is what the board signed off on:
• Assets under management: R502 million — up 49% in six months
• Active loan book: R267 million
• Total capital deployed to South African SMEs since inception: R395 million
• Security held against that book: R671 million
Explore the loan book dashboard:https://t.co/Gimf67cZsk
And behind every rand of that capital, there are people. As at 28 February 2026, ACOF's lending programme supports 2,084 jobs across 44 businesses in 21 industries.
These are not statistics. They are entrepreneurs who got funded, businesses that are growing and jobs that exist because capital reached the right hands.
And we are not stopping at South Africa's borders. ACOF is now expanding across the continent taking the same model, the same discipline and the same commitment to impact into new African markets. The funding gap is not unique to South Africa. It exists across the entire continent and we intend to close it, one deal at a time.
Now consider this: US private credit losses in 2025 ran at 9.20%. ACOF's bad debts written off stand at 0.09%.
That is not a rounding difference. It is the result of a security-first underwriting discipline, real collateral and a loan book built in a market that developed-world lenders have never meaningfully touched.
African private credit is not a lesser version of the global asset class. In the right hands, it is a better one.
Regulated. Transparent. Expanding.

New York. Big conversations. Even bigger conviction.
Last year at PubKey, our team was on the ground engaging with some of the sharpest minds in Bitcoin and capital markets. Hosted by Bitcoin Treasuries Media, the Emerging Markets Investor Day brought together leaders focused on Bitcoin treasury strategy and its growing role in shaping capital allocation across emerging markets.
This Friday the 20th of February Africa Bitcoin Corporation Executive chairman @staffordmasie and Chief Executive Officer @wheatley_warren joins other market leading Bitcoin treasury companies @DV8Thailand , @MeliuzBitcoin and @arcadiabtc in thoughtful, forward-looking discussions about how institutions across growth economies can rethink capital allocation through a Bitcoin-native lens.
This isn’t about trends. It’s about balance sheets, discipline and long-term strategy.
Grateful for the rooms we’re in and even more excited about where these conversations are heading.

Here’s a weekly update from our CEO @wheatley_warren
A quick update from Africa Bitcoin Corporation (ABC).
What is ABC? (quick explainer)
@AfricaBitCorp is the worlds first private credit and SME funding platform focused on providing funding to SMEs across Africa, powered and backed by Bitcoin.
We raise debt and equity to support this mandate, with a loan book now three years old and bad debts below 1%.
To amplify our credit platform, we issue equity to acquire Bitcoin as a treasury asset. An increasingly important global use case is Bitcoin’s role as collateral to access low cost debt funding. This allows us to lower our costs of capital, widen our lending margins and to earn reliable steady and predictable cash flows.
Importantly, ABC’s and @CapitalAltvest focus is building a resilient funding platform for SMEs, utilising the world best and most pristine asset to raise funds - not making promises to “outperform Bitcoin”.
