Event Summary

Rhino Bitcoin, Inc. (OTC:RHNO), a Bitcoin-only financial services company, announced on July 29, 2026 that it accepted 500,000,000 Splendor Labs (SPLD) tokens as payment for Splendor's purchase of 10,000,000 shares of Rhino Bitcoin common stock. The SPLD tokens were added to Rhino Bitcoin's corporate balance sheet as a diversification strategy. Rhino Bitcoin will remain exclusively focused on Bitcoin and has no intention of expanding beyond its Bitcoin-only service offering.

Major financial institutions including BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, JPMorgan Chase, Fidelity, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup are advancing asset tokenization, and Splendor's technology positions it to play a role in this ecosystem.
