Island Park, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - January 6, 2026) - NetBrands Corp., Delaware corporation (OTCID: NBND) (the "Company"), is advancing a hybrid digital asset mining strategy designed to diversify revenue streams, enhance margin stability, and reduce exposure to single-network risk.

In November 2025, NetBrands expanded its mining fleet through the acquisition of Bitmain L9 machines. These next-generation units operate on the Scrypt algorithm and support merged mining, enabling the Company to capture multiple revenue streams simultaneously. By deploying these machines through the NiceHash hashrate marketplace, NetBrands sells its computational power at a premium and receives payouts in Bitcoin, regardless of the underlying asset being mined. This approach allows the Company to monetize periods of elevated demand while continuing to grow its Bitcoin-denominated balance sheet.

This deployment reflects NetBrands' broader strategy for 2026 of building a hybrid mining fleet spanning both SHA-256 (Bitcoin) and Scrypt-based mining. Rather than relying on a single algorithm or revenue source, the Company deliberately diversifies its mining exposure to optimize returns, stabilize margins, and reduce operational and market risk. Hybrid mining provides flexibility to dynamically allocate hashrate toward the most attractive opportunities, whether those arise from direct Bitcoin mining economics or from short-term dislocations in alternative mining markets.

Central to this strategy is NetBrands' use of the hashrate marketplace model. A hashrate marketplace is an online platform where miners sell computational power to buyers who wish to mine specific cryptocurrencies without owning or operating hardware. For sellers like NetBrands, this creates a predictable and scalable revenue stream, settled in Bitcoin, while buyers gain instant access to hashrate without infrastructure risk. The model also enables price discovery, transparency, and rapid response to shifts in demand across different algorithms.

The value of this approach was underscored by NiceHash marketplace surge in demand last year, driving premiums for hashrate sellers. By participating in this market, NetBrands is positioned to benefit from elevated pricing, capturing arbitrage opportunities that would not be available through traditional single-coin mining alone. These dynamics highlight how hashrate marketplaces can serve as both a revenue enhancer and a risk-management tool.

Through its hybrid mining strategy, NetBrands leverages exposure to multiple algorithms and tokens while maintaining Bitcoin as the core settlement and treasury asset. This structure reduces dependency on any single network's difficulty, price action, or reward structure. As the digital mining landscape continues to evolve, NetBrands believes that hybrid mining and active participation in hashrate marketplaces represent a disciplined, forward-looking approach to maximizing long-term shareholder value.
