UNIVERSAL DIGITAL ADVANCES JAPAN-FOCUSED DOGECOIN OPPORTUNITY THROUGH STRATEGIC COOPERATION WITH HOUSE OF DOGE

On Jan. 8, 2026, Universal Digital Inc. entered into a definitive strategic co-operation and profit-sharing agreement with House of Doge Inc., the official corporate arm of the Dogecoin Foundation.

The agreement establishes a structured framework for co-operation in respect of certain warrant rights of ReYuu Japan Inc. held or to be acquired by Universal Digital and is intended to support the exploration of Dogecoin-ecosystem-related opportunities in Japan. Under the agreement, the parties will co-ordinate on the exercise and monetization of such warrant rights and share in resulting economic outcomes in accordance with agreed profit-sharing terms.

The arrangement is designed to align Universal Digital and House of Doge economically while maintaining flexibility, disciplined capital deployment and independent decision making. The agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between the parties.

Universal Digital believes the agreement provides a structured way to work alongside an experienced Dogecoin-ecosystem participant as it pursues Japan-related opportunities connected to ReYuu.

At the same time, House of Doge, ReYuu Japan and abc Co. Ltd. signed a strategic partnership agreement that establishes a basis for co-operation focused on evaluating Dogecoin-ecosystem initiatives in Japan, including potential structures involving Dogecoin-related investment, treasury or commercial use cases in collaboration. The arrangement is non-binding and does not obligate any party to proceed with a transaction, investment or financing.

"Japan represents a compelling environment to explore Dogecoin ecosystem opportunities alongside established public companies," said Chris Yeung, chief executive officer of Universal Digital. "This agreement creates a focused and flexible structure to do that with the right partner."

"Japan is an exciting market for Dogecoin-ecosystem engagement, particularly when approached through established public companies," said Marco Margiotta, chief executive officer of House of Doge. "We are pleased to work with Universal Digital under a structured framework that allows both parties to explore opportunities thoughtfully and responsibly."
