This move aligns with Sunshine Biopharma's broader strategy to strengthen its financial foundation while advancing its pipeline of generic prescription drugs and proprietary mRNA-based cancer therapies and antiviral drug candidates.

The Company's Bitcoin investment of $5 million will be executed over time through a regulated digital asset custodian or, the purchase of an ETF or a proxy stock. The Company plans to increase its holdings of Bitcoin by allocating additional funds as such funds become available in the future.
