*Sebastian Bea:*

Welcome to the investment desk by ReserveOne. I'm Sebastian Bea, President, COO and Head of Investments at ReserveOne and also your host here.

For those who don't know, ReserveOne is expected to be a first of its kind, diversified, digital asset treasury. More specifically, ReserveOne is expected to list on Nasdaq in Q4 2025 in a billion dollar transaction, under the ticker RONE via an expected merger with M3 Brigade Acquisition V Corp, whose ticker today is MBAV. So, lets get into our three key topics.

Number one – a surplus of the treasury.

Number two – finding rates in bull market vibes.

And lastly, Ethereum has its birthday turning ten.

So, lets get into it on macro. Before we talk about treasury, really quickly on the Fed, there is a meeting on Wednesday. No cut is expected here. In terms of changing expectations for cuts, really need to see what they say on Wednesday and what we see on Friday with jobs.

Moving over to treasury, I almost fell out of my chair when I heard Scott Bessent on the All In Pod say that in June 2025, treasury receipts actually showed a surplus and tariff revenues were clearly helping. If you don't know the last the treasury had a surplus, trust me, I didn't either. Apparently per Scott, it was 2015.

So then on the pod, he went on to make what I think is a big statement about the shape and narrative of this economy – basically looking back to the 90's greenspan type growth, which had, at the time had a deflationary tech dynamic and now looking at our current set up and saying essentially that there is a potential for a reduction here where he thinks we might be able to run the economy a little hotter without soaking inflation, because of the deflationary impacts of AI. Saying also of course, that you could get the deficit down by running the economy hotter, which then makes it easier to believe a little more in the fiscal sustainability of the U.S. government, which obviously potentially helps on the long end. This could be a big deal and we think it's a key theme to watch from here.

Jumping into crypto, there is a lot to talk about but we want to focus on one theme here, which is clearly the bull market vibes that seems to be showing up in market internals. Specifically, what I'm referring to here is funding rates which in some places like hyper liquid – you're starting to see funding rates pick up for XRP, Solana and Ethereum. Over here, these three.

Where those three in particular have been seeing a more pronounced increase in funding rates. Now, what are funding rates for those who haven't heard of them? Funding rates are essentially the interest rates that's demanded in a perpetual futures contract by the short side, to allow the long side to get long leverage. Said another way, when rates are going up it's indicative of more speculation, so we're seeing more short term speculation in these three, in comparison to Bitcoin and Cardano, which have seen increases in funding rates but less pronounced in comparison to XRP, Solana and ETH.

Now, before we get over to Ethereum and its big birthday coming up, also just a reminder that this week we do have this White House crypto report coming on the same day as Eth's birthday, so that's July 30<sup>th</sup>. It is possible that the government could give some more clarity around their intentions around the SBR (the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve) and the Digital Assets Stockpile. So, we'll definitely be paying attention there.

Now, lastly, on Ethereum. A big birthday coming up here on July 30<sup>th</sup>. It is the 10<sup>th</sup> anniversary for Ethereum and it is rather fitting that we're having this big moment right after the Genius Stablecoin Bill became law last week. We also think there some, um, a lack of understanding around the tie between Genius Stablecoin Bill and clarity in the Market Structure Bill. Maybe to give an analogy here, if Genius Stablecoin is the train that just got legal certainty, we now have a train that's legal but we haven't yet approved the tracks. The tracks of course meaning the clarity that would come from a market structure bill. So, we think it's a certainty at some point that clarity, the market structure bill, at least needs to get passed. If it never gets passed, we don't know but we think it's quite likely that DC understands it needs to get passed. In terms of timing, that seems like its pushed out just a bit here. David Saks most recently mentioning that they're looking to take a vote on clarity perhaps in October – that is a bit of push out from prior expectations of September. So, I guess the big push for Clarity Market Structure Bill comes after the Summer break. But before all that, we need to celebrate.

Again, a big day for Ethereum coming up on this Wednesday. We at ReserveOne will be celebrating. Make sure to catch us at two events. Nasdaq will have an event around 3 or 4 on July 30<sup>th</sup>. And then there will be a big celebration down in Brooklyn. Thank you to the folks at B Cap – known as Blockchain Capital – for the invitation. See you all there.

● the risk that the Proposed Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all;

● the failure by the Parties to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, including the approval of M3-Brigade's shareholders;

● those risk factors discussed in documents of M3-Brigade or PubCo filed, or to be filed, with the SEC.

The foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section in the final prospectus of M3-Brigade dated as of July 31, 2024 and filed by M3-Brigade with the SEC on August 2, 2024, M3-Brigade's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, M3-Brigade's Annual Report on Form 10-K and the registration statement on Form S-4 and proxy statement/prospectus that will be filed by PubCo and M3-Brigade, and other documents filed or to be filed by M3-Brigade and PubCo from time to time with the SEC.
