Marti to Execute Crypto Asset Treasury Strategy

Company to Initially Hold 20% of Cash Reserves in Crypto Assets, with Ability to Increase to 50%

ISTANBUL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Marti Technologies, Inc. (“Marti” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: MRT), Türkiye’s leading mobility super app, announced today that it will initiate a corporate treasury strategy that incorporates the acquisition of certain crypto assets as part of a diversified approach to managing cash reserves. As part of this strategy, the Company will initially hold approximately 20% of its cash reserves in Bitcoin. The Company has the ability to increase its crypto asset holdings to 50% of its cash reserves, and to purchase other crypto assets such as Ethereum and Solana.

In taking this step, Marti joins a growing number of publicly listed companies integrating digital assets into their treasury strategy alongside traditional holdings such as cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. These digital assets are recognized by the Company as potential long-term stores of value and as a hedge against systemic financial risk. All digital assets will be custodied through a regulated, institutional-grade custodian, and will be held in compliance with applicable laws and industry best practices related to security, custody, and reporting.

“Our decision to allocate capital to crypto assets acknowledges our belief that Bitcoin and other digital assets have proven their ability to store value alongside hard currencies and gold over the last several years,” commented Oguz Alper Oktem, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Marti. “We believe this strategy represents a prudent approach to treasury management, particularly in the current economic environment which carries both inflationary and hard currency risks. We intend to be long term holders of the crypto assets we purchase, and to add to our position over time.”

This strategic initiative is not expected to impact the Company’s current activities or the execution of its business plans. The Company will disclose any material acquisitions of digital assets in future news releases if and as required under applicable laws.
