On November 18, 2025, ReserveOne posted a video on its Instagram account. The excerpt of the transcript is below.

Host: How important is it for you that companies like ReserveOne follow public market standards versus crypto native form?

Interviewee: I think it will be important because I don’t want to see any hidden surprises. I would prefer to have more regulations. But I understand that a lot of people, they love crypto because it’s kind of like in its own world. And they want it to be as free as possible. So, I’m not sure about the crowd, but I probably would want more regulation about it to be just kind of safe.

Jaime Leverton, Chief Executive Officer of ReserveOne, was interviewed at Bloomberg TV. The excerpt of the transcript is below.

Host: Before we let you go, give us an overview of where things are with ReserveOne. Now that the government is open again and companies can move forward, what is the plan?

Jaime: We are in process. We announced a couple of weeks ago that we confidentially filed our S-4. At this point it will likely be in Q1 of 2026. As we have discussed publicly, we raised our PIPE back in July. Funding does not occur until the transaction closes. We deploy digital assets. It’ll be interesting to see where we are at the point of deploying, but obviously very excited to get the deal closed and get the team continuing to work and build.
