Ocean Biomedical Expands Into Energy & Digital Asset Sectors to Accelerate Growth & Shareholder Value

Ocean Biomedical, Inc. recently announced a strategic expansion of its business operations to include power infrastructure development and a cryptocurrency treasury strategy, including Bitcoin and Solana.

This move comes as part of a deliberate plan to strengthen Ocean Biomedical’s financial foundation and enhance long-term value creation for shareholders. The Company will leverage its leadership team’s experience and strategic partnerships to pursue high-growth opportunities in the power and digital asset sectors—two industries central to global innovation and economic infrastructure.

“While we remain deeply committed to advancing our scientific pipeline, we recognize the need to build stable and recurring cash flow to sustain and accelerate our biopharma mission,” said Chirinjeev Kathuria, Chairman of Ocean Biomedical. “The global demand for energy—driven by AI, data centers, and digital infrastructure—is unprecedented, and cryptocurrencies have emerged as powerful stores of value with institutional and governmental recognition. These sectors represent meaningful growth vectors and give us the ability to fund our innovations with greater independence and resilience.”

Strategic Rationale for Expansion

After an extensive strategic review, the Company identified power generation and digital assets as synergistic verticals where existing board and management expertise and market access can be swiftly mobilized. Ocean Biomedical intends to:

• Develop and operate select power assets to capitalize on rising energy demand, with an initial focus on data center-grade infrastructure and grid-interactive generation.
• Adopt a digital treasury model, allocating a portion of cash reserves into established cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Solana, which the Company views as long-term hedges and potentially accretive assets.

Forward-Looking Growth Objectives

Ocean Biomedical plans to release additional details in the coming months regarding:

• The scale, location, and technology profile of its initial power projects.
• A defined framework for cryptocurrency holdings, including governance, custody, and rebalancing mechanisms.
• Strategic alliances or capital partnerships that support execution in these new verticals.
