Cosmos Health Secures up to $300 Million Financing Facility to Launch Ethereum Treasury Strategy

CHICAGO, Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cosmos Health Inc. (“Cosmos Health” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: COSM), a diversified, vertically integrated global healthcare group, announced today that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with a U.S.-based institutional investor for the issuance of up to $300 million in senior secured convertible promissory notes (the “Facility”), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, to support the launch of its Ethereum (ETH) digital asset treasury reserve strategy.

Key Highlights:

  • Strategic accumulation of ETH to enhance long-term shareholder value through increasing ETH-per-share

  • ETH assets will be custodied and staked through institutional infrastructure provided by BitGo Trust Company, Inc. (“BitGo”)

  • Treasury initiative complements Cosmos Health’s ongoing digital transformation and e-commerce efforts, with potential to explore blockchain use cases in supply chain traceability, wellness incentive programs, and global consumer engagement

  • The Company plans to explore additional yield-generating strategies to optimize cash flow and utility from ETH holdings

Greg Siokas, CEO of Cosmos Health, stated: “This financing marks a strategic milestone for Cosmos Health, offering shareholders direct exposure to ETH, currently one of the most widely adopted digital assets in the world. It also provides access to growth capital to support a range of strategic initiatives, including accelerated product development, advanced R&D innovation, enhanced commercial initiatives, and our planned entry into U.S. manufacturing.”

“Our entry into the digital asset space is not a short-term pivot, but part of a broader commitment to innovation,” Greg Siokas continued. “We are confident that the size and flexibility of this facility should position us to deliver long-term, sustainable value for our shareholders.”

Under the terms of the Facility, Cosmos Health is required to allocate at least 72.5% of the net proceeds from each tranche closing toward building its digital asset treasury reserve, with the remainder to be used for working capital and various growth initiatives.

Curvature Securities, LLC acted as the sole placement agent in connection with the Facility.

The foregoing description is a summary only and does not purport to be complete. For further information, please refer to Cosmos Health’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.
