Edmonton, Alberta – June 9th, 2026 - TheNewswire – Bitcoin Well Inc. (“ Bitcoin Well ” or the “ Company ”) ( TSXV: BTCW; OTCQB: BCNWF ), the non-custodial bitcoin business on a mission to enable independence, today announced that it has entered a partnership  with Heritage IRA Inc. (“Heritage” or “the Partner”) to bring a Bitcoin IRA offering to market and enable bitcoin-funded retirement accounts directly inside the Bitcoin Portal. The Company expects to begin implementation this month, with a targeted launch for US customers in Q3 2026.

Partnership Details

The partnership opens access to bitcoin within tax-advantaged retirement accounts, giving customers exposure to bitcoin for retirement with the transparency of on-chain visibility into their holdings.

Heritage IRA will charge a flat, wholesale rate to Bitcoin Well per account, which Bitcoin Well can pass along to the customer, or subsidize for marketing and promotional reasons. Bitcoin Well will earn the full spread from all transactions that occur inside the IRA account.

Implementation work is expected to begin in June 2026, with the offering targeted to launch in Q3 2026.

"This is very exciting for the Company,” said Adam O’Brien, founder and CEO of Bitcoin Well. “Trillions of dollars sit in American retirement accounts, and the market demand to hold bitcoin inside them looks strong. Working with Heritage will give us access to the infrastructure and regulatory compliance to meet that demand, while our Bitcoin Portal continues to grow and improve for the 25,000+ customers registered in the USA.

"Heritage IRA was built on the belief that technology and service quality are what separates a great IRA administrator from the rest of the field,” said Mark Furmanek, CEO of Heritage IRA. “Integrating directly inside the Bitcoin Portal gives our customers a seamless experience from account opening through transaction execution, with the kind of on-chain transparency that self-directed investors have been asking for. We are excited to bring this to market with a partner that takes the customer experience as seriously as we do."

Shares for Debt Settlement

The Company also announces that is indebted to a certain creditor in the amount of $62,091 ($45,000 USD) as of May 29, 2026 (the “Sponsorship Agreement Debt”), pursuant to a sponsorship agreement (the “Sponsorship Agreement”). The Sponsorship Agreement Debt represents payments for monthly services accrued under the Sponsorship Agreement and are not considered investor relations services (as defined in the policies of the TSXV). The creditor is an arm’s length party to the Company and the issuance of the Shares in connection with the settlement of the Sponsorship Agreement Debt will not result in the creation of a new Insider or Control Person.

Bitcoin Well has elected to settle the Sponsorship Agreement Debt by issuing 1,552,275 Shares at a deemed price of $0.04 per Share, as determined in accordance with the policies of the TSXV on the date of the news release. The settlement of the Sponsorship Agreement Debt through the issuance of Shares remains subject to the approval of the TSXV. All Shares issued pursuant to the Sponsorship Agreement Debt will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities laws.
