Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 2, 2025) - Universal Digital Inc. (CSE: LFG) (OTCQB: LFGMF) (FSE: 8R20) ("Universal Digital" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed a definitive agreement dated September 1, 2025, with Seacastle Singapore Pte Ltd. ("Seacastle"), to acquire a strategic equity and warrant position in ReYuu Japan Inc., a company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under ticker 9425 ("ReYuu").
Under the terms of the agreement, Universal Digital will acquire:
- 200,000 ordinary shares, representing approximately 3.48% of ReYuu's issued and outstanding share capital, for a total cash consideration of approximately USD 1,030,000 (including an advisory fee of USD 96,000); and
- 8,000 warrants, acquired for USD 45,434. Each warrant entitles Universal Digital to purchase 100 ordinary shares of ReYuu (up to 800,000 shares in total) at an exercise price of JPY 579 per ordinary share, with each warrant expiring on July 23, 2028.
The agreement also grants Universal Digital an option to acquire from Seacastle up to 10,000 additional warrants in ReYuu until July 23, 2028. The purchase price per additional warrant is the lower of JPY 1,000 or a value determined under a Black-Scholes formula agreed by the parties at the time of exercise. Each additional warrant, once acquired, entitles the Company to purchase 100 ordinary shares of ReYuu (up to 1,000,000 shares in total) at an exercise price of JPY 579 per ordinary share until July 23, 2028.
This transaction builds on the non-binding memorandum of understanding signed with GFA Co., Ltd. in June 2025 to explore Bitcoin-based corporate finance strategies in Japan. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including any required regulatory approvals, such as pre-transaction notification through the Bank of Japan under FEFTA, or confirmation that an exemption applies.
Following closing, ReYuu has a non-binding right under the definitive agreement to request capital contributions from Universal Digital of up to USD 100 million for potential Bitcoin purchases, at Universal Digital's sole discretion.
"Signing the definitive agreement to acquire a position in ReYuu Japan Inc. marks a significant step in establishing our presence in Asia Pacific," said Chris Yeung, CEO of Universal Digital. "We believe ReYuu offers a strong platform for introducing scalable, institutional Bitcoin exposure in Japan with the goal of creating long-term value for our shareholders through both equity participation and treasury management opportunities."
Universal Digital's investment in ReYuu is a significant milestone in its strategy to enter Asia Pacific's cryptocurrency market through established Japanese companies. ReYuu, a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed distributor of used and refurbished mobile devices with a strong enterprise and retail footprint, provides a gateway for Bitcoin adoption in Japan's corporate sector.
Together, the companies plan to introduce scalable Bitcoin treasury and financing models, leveraging ReYuu's network and regulatory standing with Universal Digital's expertise to create replicable structures across Asia's digital asset economy.
