***Additional Information and Where to Find It***

Pubco and the Company intend to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as may be amended, the "Registration Statement"), which will include a preliminary proxy statement of CEP and a prospectus (the "Proxy Statement/Prospectus") in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the "Proposed Transactions"). The definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents will be mailed to shareholders of CEP as of a record date to be established for voting on the Proposed Transactions and other matters as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. CEP and/or Pubco will also file other documents regarding the Proposed Transactions with the SEC. This communication does not contain all of the information that should be considered concerning the Proposed Transactions and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the Proposed Transactions or the concurrent private purchases of Pubco convertible notes (the "Convertible Notes") and CEP Class A ordinary shares by certain investors (the "PIPE Investments"). BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION, CEP SHAREHOLDERS AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES ARE URGED TO READ, WHEN AVAILABLE, THE PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, AND AMENDMENTS THERETO, AND THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ALL OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED OR THAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC IN CONNECTION WITH CEP'S SOLICITATION OF PROXIES FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF ITS SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER MATTERS AS DESCRIBED IN THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS BECAUSE THESE DOCUMENTS WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CEP, THE COMPANY, PUBCO AND THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS. Investors and security holders will also be able to obtain copies of the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and all other documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by CEP and Pubco, without charge, once available, on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Cantor Equity Partners, Inc., 110 East 59th Street, New York, NY 10022; e-mail: CantorEquityPartners@cantor.com, or upon written request to Twenty One Capital, Inc., via email at info@xxi.money, respectively.

NEITHER THE SEC NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AGENCY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN, PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THIS COMMUNICATION. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY CONSTITUTES A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

The Convertible Notes and the CEP Class A ordinary shares to be issued in the PIPE Investments have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

***Participants in the Solicitation***

CEP, the Company, Pubco and their respective directors, executive officers, certain of their shareholders and other members of management and employees may be deemed under SEC rules to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from CEP's shareholders in connection with the Proposed Transactions. A list of the names of such persons, and information regarding their interests in the Proposed Transactions and their ownership of CEP's securities are, or will be, contained in CEP's filings with the SEC, including CEP's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025. Additional information regarding the interests of the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of CEP's shareholders in connection with the Proposed Transactions, including the names and interests of the directors and executive officers of CEP, the Company and Pubco, will be set forth in the Registration Statement and Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which is expected to be filed with the SEC. Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of these documents as described above.

Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events or conditions that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this communication, including, but not limited to: the risk that the Proposed Transactions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of CEP's securities; the risk that the Proposed Transactions may not be completed by CEP's business combination deadline; the failure by the parties to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Transactions, including the approval of CEP's shareholders, or either of the PIPE Investments; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transactions; the level of redemptions of CEP's public shareholders which may reduce the public float of, reduce the liquidity of the trading market of, and/or maintain the quotation, listing, or trading of the Class A ordinary shares of CEP or the shares of Class A common stock of Pubco; the lack of a third-party fairness opinion in determining whether or not to pursue the Proposed Transactions; the failure of Pubco to obtain or maintain the listing of its securities on any securities exchange after closing of the Proposed Transactions; costs related to the Proposed Transactions and as a result of becoming a public company; changes in business, market, financial, political and regulatory conditions; risks relating to Pubco's anticipated operations and business, including the highly volatile nature of the price of Bitcoin; the risk that Pubco's stock price will be highly correlated to the price of Bitcoin and the price of Bitcoin may decrease between the signing of the definitive documents for the Proposed Transactions and the closing of the Proposed Transactions or at any time after the closing of the Proposed Transactions; risks related to increased competition in the industries in which Pubco will operate; risks relating to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty regarding Bitcoin; risks relating to the treatment of crypto assets for U.S. and foreign tax purposes; risks that after consummation of the Proposed Transactions, Pubco experiences difficulties managing its growth and expanding operations; the risks that growing Pubco's learning programs and educational content could be difficult; challenges in implementing Pubco's business plan including Bitcoin-related financial and advisory services, due to operational challenges, significant competition and regulation; being considered to be a "shell company" by any stock exchange on which Pubco's Class A common stock will be listed or by the SEC, which may impact Pubco's ability to list Pubco's Class A common stock and restrict reliance on certain rules or forms in connection with the offering, sale or resale of securities; the outcome of any potential legal proceedings that may be instituted against CEP, Pubco, the Company or others following announcement of the Proposed Transactions, and those risk factors discussed in documents that CEP, Pubco and/or the Company filed, or that will be filed, with the SEC.

You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of the CEP's final prospectus dated as of August 12, 2024 and filed by CEP with the SEC on August 13, 2024, CEP's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, CEP's Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Registration Statement that will be filed by Pubco and the Company and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus contained therein, and other documents filed by CEP, the Company and Pubco from time to time with the SEC. These filings do or will identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
