Filed by The Ether Machine, Inc.

pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,

and deemed filed pursuant to Rule 14a-12

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

Subject Company: The Ether Machine, Inc.

Commission File No.: 132-02877

As previously disclosed, on July 21, 2025, Dynamix Corporation ("<u>SPAC</u>") and The Ether Machine, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("<u>Pubco</u>") entered into a Business Combination Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2025, with ETH SPAC Merger Sub Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company, The Ether Reserve LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "<u>Company</u>"), Ethos Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SPAC ("<u>SPAC Subsidiary A</u>"), Ethos Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SPAC Subsidiary A ("<u>SPAC Subsidiary B</u>"), Ethos Sub 3, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC Subsidiary B, and ETH Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

Pubco emailed the following investor letter to investors and posted the letter on the "Investor Updates" section of its website on February 16, 2026:

Greetings Machinists,

We entered 2026 working toward the public launch of Ether Machine. We continue to expect the remaining steps – SEC clearance, shareholder vote, and close – to follow in sequence once SEC comments are resolved.

As we move through this regulatory phase, we want to reiterate our belief in a core point: Ether Machine is built to operate and generate ether regardless of short-term public-market dynamics.

We are not a passive Digital Asset Treasury. We will become an Ethereum Operating Company, designed from inception with the intent to increase ETH-per-share via ETH-denominated revenue through staking infrastructure, protocol participation, and onchain operations. Ethereum on our balance sheet is not the end point, it's the starting point, and our team is actively creating value today through staking, and in future through active management decisions around restaking, DeFi, and other Ethereum-aligned opportunities.

Ether Machine Developments

**ETHM December and January Performance and Yield**

All ETH held by Ether Machine remains fully staked onchain and actively generating yield, continuing to outperform the CESR benchmark:

● Validator performance: **99.92%** 

● ETHM annualized staking yield (January '26): **2.86%** 

● Ethereum network average staking yield CESR (January): **2.83%** 

These results reflect continued operational discipline across validator uptime, execution- layer optimization and risk management. Staking remains the current foundation of our yield stack, providing base-layer revenue while preserving full liquidity and Ethereum alignment.

**Expanding ETHM's Onchain Yield Roadmap**

Beyond native staking, we are actively researching the roadmap for **additional onchain ETH yield** post-launch, including:

● Restaking opportunities across select validator services

● Carefully structured DeFi strategies focused on ETH-denominated return

● Risk-adjusted participation in protocol-level revenue streams

We are in active discussions with leading teams across Restaking and DeFi to evaluate opportunities that meet our standards for safety, durability, and transparency. This work is enabled by the team's near decade-long experience operating through multiple Ethereum cycles; across consensus changes, DeFi expansions, and market drawdowns. Our in-house approach is deliberate by design: incremental, risk-aware, and aligned with long-term ETH compounding rather than short-term yield chasing.

Market Commentary

**Ethereum Network Growth**

Ethereum remains the home of tokenized assets and stablecoins with $341 billion TVL, $182 billion stablecoin supply as of mid January. **Ethereum mainnet usage also hit new all time highs in January** (source) with:

● 288.4 million unique onchain ETH token holders

● $337.1 billion in ecosystem total value locked (TVL)

● $183.5 billion in stablecoin supply

● 14.7 million active monthly users (an increase of over 63% since December)

● 70 million monthly transactions (nearly 36% increase from December)

Network efficiency also continued to improve, with throughput reaching ~26 transactions per second (TPS) and median transaction fees near historical lows (source). These metrics reflect sustained demand paired with meaningful scaling progress.

January also marked a notable shift in the tone of global institutional and policy discourse around crypto and tokenization. At Davos, public comments from Larry Fink emphasized tokenization as a structural upgrade to global financial plumbing, while President Trump and David Sacks reinforced the administration's stated objective of ensuring the US remains the global center for crypto innovation.

This mainstream rhetoric is being backed up by news that Wall Street funds continue to launch tokenization projects on Ethereum – Fidelity announced their plan last month for a stablecoin product on Ethereum, joining major financial institutions like Blackrock, JP Morgan, Franklin Templeton, and Amundi. Across asset management, banking, and payments, the pattern is consistent: **when institutions deploy real capital and regulated products onchain, Ethereum is the settlement layer they choose**.

Importantly, we believe Ethereum's fundamental strength is now being reinforced by regulatory clarity. The **GENIUS Act**, passed in 2025, is scheduled to begin phased implementation later in 2026, formally enabling compliant stablecoin issuance and usage within the US financial system. This framework removes a major structural uncertainty around dollar-denominated settlement on public blockchains and provides a clear legal foundation for banks, fintechs, and enterprises to transact onchain at scale. We believe that **Ethereum is the primary beneficiary of this shift**, given its dominance as the settlement layer for regulated stablecoins and tokenized cash instruments.

In parallel, the **CLARITY Act** continues to advance through legislative debate, with updated drafts and bipartisan engagement pointing toward a potential passage path in the coming months. As currently structured, the Act would codify a market-structure regime that treats sufficiently decentralized, mature blockchains as digital commodities under CFTC oversight. We believe that **Ethereum is widely regarded as the reference case for this classification**.

Together, we believe these developments mark a meaningful transition: **crypto markets are entering increased institutional adoption** with a **clearer regulatory runway**. For Ethereum-aligned operating companies, we expect that this combination supports not only asset valuation but also long-term revenue growth tied to increased onchain activity, settlement volume, and institutional participation.

We view these dynamics as structurally supportive of Ethereum's role as financial infrastructure and of business models, like Ether Machine, that are built to **operate directly on top of that infrastructure** rather than merely hold it.

**ETHM Focus: Ethereum and ETH-Per-Share Growth**

Ether Machine maintains a deliberately focused mandate:

*We do not pursue non-ETH ecosystem investments.<br> We do not allocate capital to venture-style moonshots.<br> We do not diversify away from Ethereum to chase narrative rotations.*

There are excellent firms built for those strategies. ETHM is not one of them.

Our goal is singular: **to operate Ethereum-aligned infrastructure and strategies that increase Ether-per-share over time, and to offer the public markets the most institutional, transparent, and accretive way to access ETH exposure.**

We believe every major institution will carry a dedicated Ethereum position in the coming years as onchain activity, settlement volume, and real-world integration continue to scale. ETHM is designed to be the cleanest expression of that exposure (ETH + ETH-native alpha) inside a regulated public-company framework.

We appreciate your continued support and engagement as we move through the final steps toward launch. January marked a transition from regulatory pause back to forward motion, and the focus now is execution.

Best,

**Ether Machine Team**
