HKSAR, China, 11 May, 2026 — MemeStrategy, Inc. ("MemeStrategy" or "the Company"; HKEX: 2440), an Asia listed digital asset company, today announced that the world's first tokenized Pokémon trading card fund (the “Fund”) launched in March, has successfully completed capital call with EVIDENT Platform Services Limited (“EVIDENT”), an alternative asset digital investment platform licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong. The tokens have been successfully issued on the platform and were oversubscribed, with strong interest across institutional and professional investors. This outcome underscores the institutional appeal of an investment fund centered on Pokémon collectible cards, underpinned by a compliant, secure, transparent, and robust investment structure. Market sentiment is also broadly positive regarding the appreciation potential of the PSA 10-graded "Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat" card and cultural significance of Pokémon, marking a meaningful step in the evolution of collectible cards as recognized investment assets that bridge cultural collectibles and the financial sector.

Institutional Interest Highlights Investment Potential of Cultural Assets

Ray Chan, CEO of MemeStrategy, said: "The strong institutional interest observed in connection with the initial issuance of the Fund represents an important step in demonstrating how pop culture collectibles can be integrated with modern financial structures within a robust and transparent framework. Institutional investors are drawn to this type of structure primarily for its transparency and streamlined investment channel, which provides exposure without the operational complexities associated with authenticating, storing and trading physical cards. We see this as an early development in the cultural finance space, and we plan to explore a broader range of collectible-related investment products to further unlock its long-term potential."

The tokens were issued by EVIDENT, representing tokenized economic interests linked to the EVIDENT’s partnership interest in the Fund. The Fund invests exclusively in PSA 10-graded "Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat" collectible cards. Widely regarded as a blue-chip asset within the Pokémon card market, the card was released as part of a cross-disciplinary collaboration between The Pokémon Company and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The card’s design draws inspiration from Van Gogh's "Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat", combining elements of fine art with a widely recognized and iconic cultural franchise.

Since its limited release in late 2023, publicly available data indicates that secondary market prices for the PSA 10 "Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat" graded card have increased by more than 400%*. With an estimated global population of approximately 47,000 cards^, the total market value of the PSA 10 "Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat" card is estimated to exceed US$148 million, based on prevailing secondary market prices.

Florian M. Spiegl, Founder and CEO of EVIDENT, commented: "As a licensed platform in Hong Kong, we are encouraged by the growing adoption of tokenized initiatives and their increasing appeal among professional investors as a means of accessing alternative assets. This collaboration demonstrates that, when supported by robust infrastructure, tokenization can facilitate secure and transparent access to cultural assets, contributing to the continued development of this segment of the digital asset ecosystem."

Leading the Evolution of Cultural Finance

As the market for pop culture collectibles continues to evolve and mature, MemeStrategy intends to further strengthen its presence in this segment, with a continued focus on developing a secure, transparent, and resilient infrastructure to support access to cultural assets. By leveraging blockchain technology to enhance market transparency and combining it with institutional-grade physical asset custody solutions, MemeStrategy aims to provide a robust framework for facilitating access to cultural assets for professional investors, and to support the development of a diversified range of innovative cultural asset‑related initiatives.
