**GRYPHON DIGITAL MINING, INC.**

This proxy statement/prospectus supplement No. 1 (this "Supplement") supplements the proxy statement/prospectus, dated July 31, 2025 (the "Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus"), which forms a part of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-287865) of Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Gryphon"), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on June 6, 2025, and amended on July 1, 2025, July 22, 2025 and July 29, 2025 (the "Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement was declared effective on July 31, 2025.

**Introduction and Explanatory Note**

As previously disclosed, on May 9, 2025, Gryphon, GDM Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of Gryphon ("Merger Sub Inc."), GDM Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned direct subsidiary of Gryphon ("Merger Sub LLC"), and American Bitcoin Corp., a Delaware corporation ("ABTC"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) Merger Sub Inc. will merge with and into ABTC, with ABTC surviving the merger (the "First Merger") as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Gryphon (the corporation surviving the First Merger, the "First Merger Surviving Corporation") and (ii) immediately after the First Merger, the First Merger Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub LLC, with Merger Sub LLC surviving the merger as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Gryphon.

Since the initial filing of the Registration Statement, six purported stockholders of Gryphon have sent demand letters (the "Demand Letters") requesting that Gryphon provide additional disclosures in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement.

While Gryphon believes that the disclosures set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus comply fully with all applicable law and denies the allegations in the Demand Letters, in order to moot the disclosure claims set forth in the Demand Letters, avoid nuisance and possible expense and business delays, and provide additional information to its stockholders, Gryphon has determined voluntarily to supplement certain disclosures in the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus related to such claims with the supplemental disclosures set forth below (the "Supplemental Disclosures"). These Supplemental Disclosures should be read in conjunction with the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which is available at the SEC's website, www.sec.gov, and which Gryphon urges you to read in its entirety. Nothing in the Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal merit, necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, Gryphon and its board of directors (the "Gryphon Board") specifically deny all allegations in the Demand Letters, including the allegations that any additional disclosure was or is required or material.

The Supplemental Disclosures will not affect the timing of Gryphon's special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting"), which is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, virtually via the Internet at *https://www.cstproxy.com/gryphondigitalmining/bc2025*, unless postponed or adjourned to a later date. **The Gryphon Board continues to recommend that you vote "FOR" the proposals being considered at the Special Meeting.** 

**You should read carefully and in their entirety this Supplement and the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus and all accompanying annexes and exhibits before voting your shares of Gryphon common stock. Please pay particular attention to the section titled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 17 in the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus.**

**This Supplement is dated August 15, 2025.**

**Supplemental Disclosures to the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus**

 ****

***The disclosure in the section titled "The Mergers—Background of the Mergers" beginning on page 74 of the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus is hereby amended by*:**

 

*Amending and restating the first full paragraph on page 75 as follows (with new text in underline)*:

On February 14, 2025, members of Gryphon's management held in-person meetings with several investment bankers in New York. The purpose of these meetings was to discuss Gryphon's position in the market and to evaluate feedback on potential strategic alternatives for Gryphon, including the possibility of a business combination in which Gryphon would be acquired by a third party. The feedback from the investment bankers was that Gryphon would likely need to undertake a strategic transaction because it lacked the size, scale and capital to effectively compete against larger competitors. Gryphon's management was encouraged by the generally positive reception to the possibility of such a transaction. <u>Gryphon did not subsequently engage any of these investment bankers to act as Gryphon's financial advisor in connection with its evaluation of potential strategic alternatives.</u>

 

*Amending and restating the eighth full paragraph on page 76 as follows (with new text in underline)*:

On April 6, 2025, representatives of EGS, legal counsel to Gryphon, sent to representatives of ABTC and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP ("Skadden"), legal counsel to ABTC, a revised draft of the term sheet. Among other things, the revised term sheet was contemplated to be binding with respect to the proposed transaction and provided for a $20 million termination fee payable to Gryphon by ABTC in the event that the parties failed to enter into a definitive agreement for the proposed transaction prior to the end of a 90 day exclusive negotiation period. The term sheet was a more detailed version of the term sheet signed on April 5, and accordingly added specificity around exclusivity terms, break-up fees, capital usage and stockholder lock-up agreements. <u>Like the term sheet that was executed on April 5, 2025, the term sheet draft of April 6, 2025 provided that the management and board of directors of the Combined Company would be selected by ABTC.</u>

 

*Amending and restating the eighth full paragraph on page 77 as follows (with new text in underline)*:

On April 18, 2025, representatives of Skadden sent to Gryphon and EGS an initial draft of the Merger Agreement and a legal due diligence request list. <u>Among other things, the draft Merger Agreement provided, consistent with the term sheet, that the management and board of directors of the Combined Company would consist of persons designated by ABTC.</u> 

 

*Amending and restating the tenth full paragraph on page 77 as follows (with new text in underline)*:

On April 24, 2025, Gryphon provided representatives of ABTC and Skadden with access to a virtual data room containing nonpublic information about Gryphon. From April 24, 2025 until the signing of the Merger Agreement, ABTC and Skadden conducted further due diligence with respect to Gryphon. <u>As disclosed further below, subsequently, on May 1, 2025, Gryphon and ABTC entered into a mutual confidentiality agreement to facilitate the exchange of confidential information between the parties.</u> 

 ****

***The disclosure in the section titled "The Mergers—Opinion of Marshall & Stevens" beginning on page 80 of the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus is hereby amended by:***

 

*Amending and restating the fifth full paragraph under the heading "Opinion of Marshall & Stevens" on page 80 as follows (with new text in underline)*:

With the exception of the M&S Opinion, Marshall & Stevens has not had any material relationships during the past two years, nor is any future material relationship currently contemplated, between Marshall & Stevens, including its affiliates, and Gryphon and/or its affiliates<u>, including Anchorage</u>. In addition, Marshall & Stevens has not had any material relationships during the past two years, nor is any future material relationship currently contemplated, between Marshall & Stevens, including its affiliates, and ABTC and/or its affiliates.

 

*Amending and restating the third bullet on page 81 as follows (with new text in underline)*:

● no specific projections were contained in these presentations <u>, no projections of ABTC or Gryphon were otherwise provided to Marshall & Stevens in connection with the M&S Opinion</u> and <u>, as such,</u> Marshall & Stevens did not make use of projections in providing the M&S Opinion (as further described below);

 

*Amending and restating the paragraph under the heading "—Financial Projections" on page 83 as follows (with new text in underline)*:

Marshall & Stevens has not been provided with any financial projections or forecasts for ABTC <u>or Gryphon in connection with the M&S Opinion</u>. Accordingly, with the Gryphon Board's approval, Marshall & Stevens has not used any discounted cash flow valuation methodology.

 

*Inserting the following paragraph immediately following the second bullet under the heading "—Publicly Traded Market Capitalization Analyses for Gryphon" on page 83*:

Marshall & Stevens used a common method to calculate the 30-day VWAPs above. This involved calculating the average traded price of Gryphon Common Stock over the last 30 trading days prior to the applicable valuation date noted above, weighted by traded volume. For the price factor, Marshall & Stevens utilized the closing price of Gryphon Common Stock over the last 30 trading days prior to the applicable valuation date.

*Amending and restating the table under the heading "—Guideline Public Company Analysis for ABTC" on page 88 as follows (with new text in underline)*:

The market transaction method is a variation of the market approach where transactions involving the actual sale or purchase of ABTC's enterprise value or the enterprise value of similar companies are analyzed to provide an indication of fair market value. According to Gryphon's management, prior to the Closing ABTC intends to undertake an external financing involving the private placement to new third party investors of shares of ABTC Class A Common Stock, and for purposes of its opinion, Marshall & Stevens assumed a raise of $150 million, at a per share purchase price of $20.00, implying a post-money equity valuation of ABTC of $1.15 billion. <u>This potential external financing of ABTC was the only transaction considered by Marshall & Stevens in its guideline transaction analysis.</u>

Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact, but instead represent management's expectations, estimates, and projections regarding future events based on certain material factors and assumptions at the time the statement was made. While considered reasonable by Gryphon as of the date of this Supplement, such statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the merger agreement; the possibility that the proposed transaction does not close when expected or at all because the conditions to closing are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all, including the failure to timely obtain stockholder approval for the proposed transaction from Gryphon's stockholders, or at all; risks related to Gryphon's continued listing on Nasdaq until closing of the proposed transaction; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against ABTC, Gryphon, or the combined company; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction are not realized when expected or at all; the possibility that the vision, goals, and trajectory of the combined company are not timely achieved or realized or achieved or realized at all; the possibility that the integration of the two companies may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; the possibility that the proposed transaction may be more expensive or take longer to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; the diversion of management's attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; changes in Gryphon's stock price before closing; and other factors that may affect future results of ABTC, Gryphon, or the combined company.
