HOT ROCKS INVESTMENTS PLC 
(the "Company") 
Digital Assets Treasury Policy 
Proposed Change of Name 
The Directors of the Company are pleased to announce that the Company has resolved to further diversify its investment 
strategy to include investment in to Digital Assets including Bitcoin. 
The Company has noted the surge in interest in investment in Bitcoin and growing recognition of Bitcoin, including by 
certain institutions, as being of investment grade. 
Having disposed of two long-term holdings at a reasonable profit in 2024, successfully exiting certain investments so 
far in 2025, and maintaining very low overheads the Company retains a useful cash position. 
The Company recognised an opportunity to utilise a portion of these funds and diversify its portfolio to include 
technology and fintech - investing in Endor Group Limited, trading as Universe Payments ("Universe"), in February 2025. 
Universe is a cross-border payments business for corporates that disintermediates legacy payment infrastructure through 
the blockchain and associated digital (crypto) currencies resulting in higher speed payments at lower cost. 
The Company's Treasury Policy will be to invest excess cash in to Digital Assets. The Company will announce 
acquisitions of Digital Assets in a timely manner and it is planned to make the first bitcoin acquisitions shortly. 
It is also intended that the Company changes its name in the short term to reflect the enhancements to the Company's 
strategy and portfolio. A further announcement will be made in due course. 
Gavin Burnell, Managing Director of the Company stated: "Having built a portfolio with exposure to early-stage 
exploration entities and diversifying in to technology and fintech, we are excited about the next phase in the 
Company's development building significant exposure to Bitcoin. We will keep the market updated with progress."
