Forward-Looking

Statements

This

press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements

in this press release other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward looking. Words such as “plans,” “expects,”

“outlook,” “intend,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” and other words and terms

of similar meaning and expression are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain

such terms. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs and assumptions that are subject to risks and

uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking

statement as a result of various factors, including, without limitation: the Company’s inability to direct the management or operations

of private businesses where the Company is not a controlling stockholder; risk of loss or markdown on the Company’s strategic investments;

the Company’s ability to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements; unexpected costs, charges

to fund or scale its business operations or strategic investments; regulatory changes, future legislation and rulemaking negatively impacting

digital assets or artificial intelligence adoption; and shifting public and governmental positions on digital assets or artificial intelligence-related

industries. Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. For

a discussion of other risks and uncertainties, and other important factors, any of which could cause Eightco’s actual results to

differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements herein, see Eightco’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(the “SEC”), including the risk factors and other disclosures in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April

15, 2025 and subsequent publicly available SEC filings. All information in this press release is as of the date of the release, and Eightco
