Worksport Ltd.
(NASDAQ: WKSP) (“Worksport” or
the “Company”), a U.S.-based manufacturer and innovator of hybrid
and clean energy solutions for the light truck, overlanding, and
global consumer goods sectors, today announced a significant
advancement in its corporate treasury strategy by taking initial
steps to adopt the cryptocurrencies
BTC
(Bitcoin) and
XRP (Ripple).
Under the initial resolution of this strategy, the Worksport Board
of Directors has approved the purchase of up to
$5
million in Bitcoin and XRP, limited to a maximum
of
10% of excess operational cash. This
strategic move is intended to enhance transaction efficiency and
underscores the Company’s long-term belief in cryptocurrency as a
store of value and a hedge against inflation, aligning with the
growing global acceptance and institutional adoption.
Worksport’s top line revenues continue to
significantly expand. Worksport will update investors on holiday
sales trends in the coming days. The Company is also preparing to
release its innovative portable power
system and solar truck cover,
propelling it toward the future of mobile energy.
Key Components of Worksport’s BTC
(Bitcoin) / XRP (Ripple) Strategy:
- Allocation of Excess
Operational Cash: The Company will commit up to
10% of any excess cash from operations to purchase
BTC (Bitcoin) and XRP (Ripple).
- Crypto-Enabled
Ecommerce: Worksport will accept cryptocurrency payments
on its e-ecommerce platform, www.worksport.com, enhancing customer
convenience and expanding its payment options.
Cryptocurrency transactions are expected to cost
the Company up to 37% less in transaction processing
fees.
- Interest Earnings
Conversion: Worksport may convert interest earnings from
cash held in money market accounts into Bitcoin and XRP.
- Future Capital
Raises: A designated percentage of funds raised in future
capital initiatives may be allocated to long-term
holdings of Bitcoin and XRP, reinforcing the Company’s
commitment to these digital assets.
“Our upcoming adoption of Bitcoin (BTC) and XRP
(Ripple) reflects our commitment to staying ahead of market trends
while prioritizing operational efficiency and
shareholder value. As we expand our product offerings and global
reach, cryptocurrency has the potential to be a strong strategic
complement” said Steven Rossi, Chief Executive
Officer of Worksport Ltd. The total allocation for cryptocurrency
investments will be up to a maximum of $5 million, which may be
adjusted through future board resolutions. Worksport will
strategically size its holdings based on prevailing market
conditions to optimize asset performance.
Strategic Vision for 2025 and
Beyond
Worksport’s cryptocurrency initiatives are part
of a broader strategy to innovate across all facets of its
business. From American production of high-quality, highly demanded
automotive accessories to developing clean energy products like
the SOLIS solar tonneau
cover and COR portable energy
system, and leveraging blockchain technology, Worksport is
creating a diversified ecosystem designed for exponential
growth.
Benefits of Accepting Crypto
Payments
- Cost Efficiency Through
Bitcoin and XRP Integration
By strategically allocating resources to Bitcoin
and XRP and embracing cryptocurrency payments, Worksport positions
itself at the forefront of financial innovation. Crypto
transactions are anticipated to cost up to 37%
less, enhancing operational efficiency, aligning with
global trends toward digital asset adoption and delivering
increased value to shareholders and customers alike.
- Capitalizing on Pro-Crypto
Momentum
The global shift toward pro-cryptocurrency
policies and the increasing likelihood of Bitcoin exchange traded
fund approvals have heightened the appeal of digital assets. These
developments bolster Bitcoin’s reputation as an inflation-resistant
store of value, making it an attractive asset for corporate
treasuries. Bitcoin, often dubbed “digital gold,” has evolved into
a globally recognized store of value, offering unparalleled
transparency, liquidity, and decentralization.
XRP, with its fast and low-cost cross-border transaction
capabilities, complements Bitcoin in reshaping the financial
ecosystem
CEO CommentaryRossi adds: “As
Bitcoin and XRP continue to gain investor attention and acceptance
as major asset classes, we believe they may serve as strong
treasury reserve assets. Their inflation-resistant
characteristics make them increasingly reliable stores of value. By
strategically allocating a portion of our treasury to these digital
assets and accepting crypto payments, we’re enhancing our financial
strategy and aligning ourselves with the future of global finance.
With our core business growing rapidly and new products launching
soon, diversifying our treasury complements our strong
projected growth. We believe this move will strengthen our
balance sheet and provide long-term value to our shareholders.”
