    Lee is a Managing Partner at Fundstrat Global Advisors (&ldquo;Fundstrat&rdquo;), and a widely recognized and followed macro strategist
    on Wall Street and chairman of Bitmine (Ticker: BMNR). In 2014, Mr. Lee co-founded Fundstrat, a research advisory firm that has since
    grown to over 30 full-time employees, serving hedge funds, mutual funds, and family offices. Mr. Lee is currently the Chief Investment
    Officer and Portfolio Manager at Fundstrat Capital, an affiliate of Fundstrat. He is also co-founder and Head of Research at Fundstrat.
    Mr. Lee also serves as Chief Executive Officer and Director FutureCrest Acquisition Corp. since June 2025. Prior to Fundstrat, Mr.
    Lee served as Chief Equity Strategist at J.P. Morgan Chase &amp; Co. between 1999 and 2014. Earlier in his career, he worked as a
    telecommunications equity research analyst and small-cap equity/bankruptcy/reorg strategist from 2004 to 2010, at firms including
    Kidder, Peabody, and Salomon Smith Barney. Mr. Lee is best known for his research-driven methodology to determine higher-probability
    outcomes for equity markets and for identifying top-performing stocks aligned with major secular themes, including digital assets,
    AI, demographic megatrends, and technology. In July 2017, Mr. Lee wrote a seminal report on bitcoin, establishing a valuation framework
    in relation to gold. Bitcoin was at roughly $2,600 and Mr. Lee expected the value could reach $20,000-$55,000 by 2022. In 2024, he
    launched the asset management firm Fundstrat Capital, introducing the Fundstrat Granny Shots US Large Cap ETF (Ticker: GRNY), an
    actively managed fund representing Fundstrat&rsquo;s evidence-based approach to large-cap equity investing. The GRNY ETF surpassed
    $1.1 billion in assets within the first 6 months. A frequent contributor to CNBC, Mr. Lee is also widely quoted in major media outlets
    such as the Wall Street Journal, Barrons, Bloomberg, Fox, and Yahoo Finance. He has been professionally recognized for his work,
    holding top rankings by Institutional Investor for over 15 years. His data-driven approach, summarized as &ldquo;analysis, not opinions,&rdquo;
    is valued by clients for being both contrarian and highly differentiated. Mr. Lee earned his BSE in Economics with dual concentrations
    in Finance and Accounting from the University of Pennsylvania&rsquo;s Wharton School. He is also a CFA Charterholder. We believe
    Mr. Lee is well-qualified to serve as a member of the Board due to his significant strategic, advisory and analytical experience.</FONT></TD></TR>

that Mr. Lee&rsquo;s extensive leadership experience and cryptocurrency background qualifies him for his role as Board Chair. The Board
welcomes and considers any input received from our stockholders regarding the Board&rsquo;s leadership structure and informs stockholders
of any change in the Board&rsquo;s leadership structure by updates to our corporate website and disclosures in our annual proxy statements
and other regulatory filings.</FONT></P>

particular, the Board and the Audit Committee are generally responsible for overseeing management of the various operational, financial,
accounting, legal and human resources-related risks faced by the Company. The Board and/or the Audit Committee fulfills this responsibility
by requesting and reviewing reports and presentations from management regarding its business strategies, financial and operating forecasts,
and specific risks, including, among other things: risks related to cryptocurrency market volatility; the future growth and development
of the Ethereum and Bitcoin digital ecosystems; operational and custody risks of our digital assets; regulatory, legal and policy risks;
energy sourcing and costs; the performance and maintenance of immersion cooling and data center equipment; cybersecurity and data center
infrastructure; compliance with evolving digital asset regulations; environmental, health, safety and regulatory matters; information
technology; insurance coverage; physical security of assets; the creditworthiness of counterparties; the Company&rsquo;s liquidity status
with respect to applicable financial covenants; public disclosures; litigation and governance matters; and compensation-related risks.
For more information on the Board&rsquo;s management of risk related to cybersecurity, please see our disclosures under Item 1C. Cybersecurity
of our Annual Report. The Audit Committee also oversees the implementation and effectiveness of the Company&rsquo;s compliance program,
and reviews specific financial and legal matters as requested by the full Board from time to time. The senior executives periodically
report to the Audit Committee and the Board on other operational, financial, legal, and human resources-related risks as they may arise
from time to time.</FONT></P>

the Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs create risks or encourage conduct
that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company. The Nominating &amp; Governance Committee is additionally
responsible for identifying risks associated with, and, as needed, implementing risk management plans and policies for, leadership succession,
with approval from the Board. The Board and its committees further oversee additional risks including, as appropriate and without limitation,
business, industry, economic, safety, cybersecurity, and environmental, social and governance (&ldquo;ESG&rdquo;) risks.</FONT></P>

Board, or the appropriate committee, assesses existing and significant emerging risks on an ongoing basis as they arise. While the Board
applies similar oversight standards to all material risks facing the company, focusing more frequently on the areas that represent more
immediate risks, individual risks generally differ in duration and severity, and timeframes required for effective mitigation may vary
greatly or change over time as risk environments evolve. Thus, the Board may adjust its oversight strategy on a case-by-case basis, as
appropriate.</FONT></P>

fully independent Board committees, as well as Mr. Lee as independent Board Chair, to exercise effective oversight of the actions of
management in identifying risks and implementing effective risk management policies and controls.</FONT></P>

additional shares of Common Stock for which authorization is sought would be identical to the shares of Common Stock the Company is presently
authorized to issue. Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled vote on all matters submitted to Company stockholders for their vote
or approval. Each share of Common Stock has the voting power of one vote. Under the terms of the Company Bylaws, directors will be elected
by a plurality of the votes cast by Company&rsquo;s stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled
to vote thereon. All other matters presented to the Company&rsquo;s stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be determined
by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by Company&rsquo;s stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting
and entitled to vote thereon, unless the matter is one upon which, by applicable law, the charter, the Company&rsquo;s Bylaws or applicable
stock exchange rules, a different vote is required, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter.
Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, as and if declared by the board of directors out of legally available
funds. Upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in those
of Company&rsquo;s assets that are legally available for distribution to Company stockholders after payment of liabilities and subject
to the prior rights of the holders of preferred stock then outstanding.</FONT></P>

Board believes approval of the Charter Amendment is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The authorization of additional
shares of Common Stock will allow the Company to explore opportunities for strategic transactions that could result in the issuance of
Common Stock, including equity capital raises, as they arise or as the Company&rsquo;s needs require. In addition, the Company has an
at-the-market (&ldquo;ATM&rdquo;) offering program in place, pursuant to which it may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of Common
Stock. Although the Company frequently reviews various transactions, the Company has no other current agreement or commitment to issue
additional shares of its Common Stock.</FONT></P>

Board also considered certain risks of the Charter Amendment. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock for which authorization
is sought may have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and on the equity and voting power of existing security holders of the Company&rsquo;s
capital stock. It may also adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. However, if the issuance of additional shares of Common
Stock allows the Company to pursue its business plan and grow its business, the market price of the Common Stock may increase.</FONT></P>

not intended as an anti-takeover provision, the additional shares of Common Stock for which authorization is sought could also be used
by management to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or to delay or prevent changes in control or management of the Company. For example,
without further stockholder approval, the Board could strategically sell shares of Common Stock to purchasers who would oppose a takeover
or favor the current Board. Although the Charter Amendment has been prompted by business and financial considerations and not by the
threat of any hostile takeover attempt (nor is the Board currently aware of any such attempts directed at the Company), approval of the
proposal could facilitate future efforts by management to deter or prevent changes in control of the Company, including transactions
in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices. The Board is not aware
of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, and the Charter Amendment is not being presented with the
intent that it be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device or to secure management&rsquo;s positions within the Company.</FONT></P>

of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Neither Delaware law, nor the

stockholders will have no right to dissent and obtain payment for their shares. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the
same effect as a vote &ldquo;AGAINST&rdquo; this proposal.</FONT></P>

purposes of the Plan are to encourage the profitability and growth of the Company through short-term and long-term incentives that are
consistent with the Company&rsquo;s objectives, give participants an incentive for excellence in individual performance, promote teamwork
among participants, and give the Company a significant advantage in attracting and retaining key employees, directors and consultants.
To accomplish such purposes, the Plan provides that the Company may grant options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted
stock units, performance-based awards (including performance-based restricted shares and restricted stock units), other share-based awards,
other cash-based awards or any combination of the foregoing.</FONT></P>

In addition, shares tendered to exercise outstanding options or other awards, withheld to cover applicable taxes on any awards or repurchased
on the open market using exercise price proceeds shall not be available for issuance under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, shares
underlying awards that are subject to the achievement of performance goals will be counted against the share reserve based on the target

the termination thereof (or within one (1) year following termination, in the case of a termination of employment due to death or disability,

The excess of the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date over the exercise price, however, is includible in computing the

stock option either within two (2) years after the date of grant or one year after the date of exercise, the optionee will recognize
ordinary income, and the Company will be entitled to a deduction, in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares

Company will not be entitled to any deduction, and the entire gain or loss for the optionee will be treated as a capital gain or loss.</FONT></P>

Board has approved, subject to shareholder approval, a new compensation arrangement for Thomas J. Lee in connection with his transition
from Non-Executive Chairman to Executive Chairman of Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc. This proposal seeks binding shareholder approval
of a special, multi-year, performance-based compensation arrangement. Approval is required under the Company&rsquo;s equity plan and
applicable corporate governance rules for the grant to be made. This proposal requests that our shareholders approve the compensation
terms summarized below. The Compensation Committee, composed solely of independent directors and advised by an independent compensation
consultant, determined that the arrangement is appropriately sized and rigorously performance-based, and is designed to align Mr. Lee&rsquo;s
interests with the long-term value creation objectives of our shareholders over a multi-year performance horizon. The Board believes
that the proposed structure reflects prevailing market practices for special, performance-oriented leadership awards and is appropriate
given the scope of the role, the magnitude of the opportunity, and the need to drive sustained operational and market performance.</FONT></P>

Board views Mr. Lee as a uniquely qualified leader whose continued service is critical to the Company&rsquo;s strategy and long-term
success. He brings deep industry knowledge, a track record of company-building and capital allocation, and relationships with customers,
partners, and capital providers that the Board believes are difficult to replicate. His role as Executive Chairman is expected to accelerate
execution on key strategic priorities, including disciplined growth, operational scaling, and prudent financing, all of which are essential
to delivering sustainable value for shareholders. In a competitive market for executive talent, the Board believes that approving this
arrangement is necessary to retain and appropriately incentivize Mr. Lee to drive performance over the multi-year horizon contemplated
by the program. The proposed mix, heavy emphasis on performance, and extended vesting are designed to ensure that realized compensation
is directly tied to sustainable value creation.</FONT></P>

evaluating this proposal, the Board also considered the value already created during Mr. Lee&rsquo;s board leadership to date, including
progress in defining and advancing the Company&rsquo;s strategy, strengthening stakeholder relationships, enhancing governance and oversight,
and positioning the Company for operational scaling and access to capital. The Board believes these contributions have laid important
groundwork for the next phase of growth and, together with the heightened responsibilities of the Executive Chairman role, provide context
for the inclusion of certain up-front and guaranteed components in the proposed arrangement.</FONT></P>

arrangement comprises two components: a multi-year cash opportunity tied primarily to annual revenue performance and a multi-year equity
award comprising time-based restricted stock units (&ldquo;RSUs&rdquo;) and performance-based RSUs (&ldquo;PSUs&rdquo;). In aggregate,
the arrangement contemplates up to $95 million in cash opportunity over five years and equity awards with an aggregate maximum of 6.0
million shares, of which 1.5 million are time-based RSUs and 4.5 million are performance-based RSUs that are earned only upon achievement
of rigorous, pre-established performance hurdles. The overall design emphasizes pay-for-performance: approximately 63% of the multi-year
cash opportunity and 75% of the equity opportunity are performance-based, with the balance providing fixed retentive value to support
continuity of leadership over a five-year period. The Compensation Committee believes the plan appropriately aligns with shareholder
interests by tying the majority of value to measurable outcomes and sustained stock performance. The up-front and guaranteed elements
are intended, in part, to recognize value already created under Mr. Lee&rsquo;s leadership to date and, in part, to secure continuity
and focus on the multi-year objectives embedded in the performance components.</FONT></P>

cash component includes a fixed element and a performance-based annual bonus opportunity, covering a five-year period aligned to the
Company&rsquo;s fiscal year-end. The fixed element totals $35 million, consisting of a $15 million up-front payment, followed by $5 million
per year in each of the subsequent four years. The performance-based element provides the opportunity to earn up to an additional $60
million in the aggregate, payable as $15 million per year for each year in which the annual revenue hurdle is achieved. Annual cash bonuses
are binary; there is no partial payout for partial attainment, and no bonus is earned if the hurdle is not met.</FONT></P>

revenue hurdles by year are as follows: $200 million for Year 2 (FY27); $300 million for Year 3 (FY28); $400 million for Year 4 (FY29);
and $500 million for Year 5 (FY30). Any earned annual cash bonus is payable following approval of the Company&rsquo;s audited fiscal
year results. The Compensation Committee determined that the calibration of the annual revenue hurdles offers a rigorous and transparent
path to value creation, consistent with investor preferences for objective, auditable financial performance measures.</FONT></P>

Compensation Committee has included robust conditions to ensure alignment and mitigate risk in light of the magnitude of the opportunity.
Mr. Lee must serve in an executive capacity to continue earning and vesting performance-based awards. If he transitions to a non-executive
role, he will be ineligible to continue earning or vesting unearned performance-based awards. In the event of a termination without cause,
resignation for good reason, or death or disability, time-based RSUs and any earned but unvested PSUs would accelerate; unearned PSUs
would be forfeited. In the event of a change in control, all unearned and unvested time-based and performance-based shares would fully
accelerate upon a qualifying termination following the change in control.</FONT></P>

recommending this arrangement, the Compensation Committee conducted a robust, arm&rsquo;s-length process over multiple meetings, documented
its deliberations, and retained independent advisors, including an independent compensation consultant and outside legal counsel. The
Committee reviewed alternative award structures and levels of opportunity, negotiated the terms with Mr.&#8239;Lee on an arm&rsquo;s-length
basis, and refined the design based on advisor input and market data. The final mix reflects prevailing market practice for special leadership
awards, including a heavy weighting toward PSUs, multi-year performance and vesting periods, the use of 90-day average measurement periods
for stock price and market capitalization to emphasize sustained performance, and annual financial hurdles for the cash component.</FONT></P>

Committee also determined that seeking shareholder approval provides an additional layer of transparency and protection, aligns with
best practices for significant special awards, and helps shareholders understand the rigor and rationale underlying the arrangement.
In evaluating leadership risk, the Committee considered the potential disruption and opportunity cost associated with the loss of Mr.&#8239;Lee&rsquo;s
leadership and concluded that a performance-forward, retention-focused design best serves shareholders by directly linking realized pay
to objective milestones.</FONT></P>

creation. The arrangement is designed to attract and retain Mr. Lee&rsquo;s leadership for the next five years, to align his incentives
with long-term shareholder returns, and to support the execution of the Company&rsquo;s growth strategy.</FONT></P>
