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.

Andrew Keys, Co-Founder and Chairman of Pubco, gave an interview with theCUBE on December 16, 2025. The following is a partial transcription of the interview:

**John Furrier:** Hello, welcome back to theCUBE here at the NYSE studio. TheCUBE, of course we have our Palo Alto studio connecting Wall Street and Silicon Valley tech and money. I'm John Furrier, host of the Crypto Trailblazers. This is the series where we feature the leaders who are making it happen, bringing in the technology and the business model innovation around decentralized infrastructure, of course, the digitization of the physical money world. Andrew Keys is here, Co-founder and Chairman of The Ether Machine. Andrew, great to see you back on theCUBE here at our NYSE location.

**Andrew Keys:** Thanks so much for having me.

**John Furrier:** You know, one of the things that we've been really exploring and discovering is there's a huge appetite for the mainstreaming of crypto infrastructure, the software behind it and the business model innovations. When people see the money, the money doesn't lie. People are making money. And I think in your last interview here with us, you talked about your venture around Ether being really a major productive asset versus Bitcoin. And this is one of the key levers to your success. You have an operating history in the sector doing this. Explain the phenomenon of the productive asset relative to crypto. This is a super important nuance. But I really want to get it out there.

**Andrew Keys:** Sure. Thanks, Sean. What I would say is that we have seen a proliferation of what we would call treasuries that are predominantly buy-and-hold strategies, and that is not what we are. The Ether Machine operates and manages Ethereum infrastructure validators, security systems, yield strategies in production, and we generate revenue to increase our Ether per share through continuous operational execution, rather than just hoping that an asset will passively go up. So we're not relying on the compounded annual growth rate of a specific asset. We're relying on our ability to actually produce additional Ether concentration per share through concepts like staking, restaking and participation in the decentralized financial economy.

**John Furrier:** First of all, I love the name The Ether Machine. It gives the impression of a machine pumping out cash. You have history in this. Explain how you got here because I think it's super important. You had an operating company, you had experience and you've been doing it. And so talk about that and some of the results you've seen.

**Andrew Keys:** So essentially, when Ethereum transitioned to proof of stake — now this is over five years ago — I created a commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor registered with the FTC named DARMA, which is an acronym for Digital Asset Risk Management Advisors, and DARMA managed the risk around generating yield on Ether. So very similar to what we're doing in The Ether Machine. Basically since the inception of proof of stake, I've been running bare-metal servers across continents, actively managing validator performance and risk and managing our security, engineering our yield, running what's called miner extractable value and execution-layer operations. And now we are starting to do restaking, which is essentially taking Ethereum's proof-of-stake consensus and securing other types of applications. And so basically what this is an institutional vehicle for risk management that we believe is important to have for institutional public market investors. And basically I took the chassis of what I've already been running for five years and I'm putting that into a public market vehicle so we can have shareholders and we can also issue capital-markets financial instruments.

**John Furrier:** You know, it's really a great story. It's not just can you buy Ether, can you hold it, earn on it, audit it, and not have all the hidden leverage and liabilities that people are afraid of? Talk about that dynamic of what that means from a trust standpoint. Clearly speculation — we're seeing a speculative market for sure — but now you're moving into a trust market. This is really kind of where we're transitioning into the large institutions and of course the confidence side of the business.

**Andrew Keys:** Yeah. So at inception this vehicle has no leverage. Basically there's a large pile of Ether and a large pile of dollars and we will generate yield — Ether-denominated yield — with the sole benchmark being Ether-per-share accretion. So basically, if you have 1000 shares that will equal X amount of Ether, our goal is to make that 1000 shares equal X plus 10% Ether, X plus 20% Ether, X plus 30% Ether. And we're not relying solely on the price of Ether going up or down. We are employing risk management to generate that additional yield. With respect to leverage, I think there can be a place for leverage; we're not using it initially. We have institutional backgrounds that are focused on managing that risk. So we would be modeling things like what's the largest drawdown? Is it a time-duration risk where you have a note that's due over time, or is it a dividend where we have a constant payment? And again, unlike a buy-and-hold strategy where you don't have the productive yield generation, we do have the ability to satisfy our coupons or dividends with the yield. So if we were to borrow, let's call it 10% in dollars to buy more Ether, we would be able to generate yield to satisfy those dividend payments if we were to create, for example, a perpetual preferred share or a convertible bond.

**John Furrier:** You know, what I love about your story is that you guys have the platform story at scale. You mentioned servers — you guys have been deploying. You have institutional standards checked off. You've been doing it, but you also have this productive asset which throws off revenue. All three in combination kind of set the table for a perfect storm. Talk about that aspect, because you're generating revenue from the asset, you have institutional standards, and you have scale.

**Andrew Keys:** Yeah. So what I would say is you're completely right. We'll start out the gate with about $2 billion of assets and will grow from there. And basically we're starting at a very interesting time because we've just seen the GENIUS Act recently passed, which basically gave a green light to institutions to employ stablecoin strategies. The majority of stablecoins settle to Ethereum. Furthermore, we're about to see the CLARITY Act pass — I imagine early Q1 — and basically that's the market structure where we have real-world asset tokenization, where we're going to see places like the New York Stock Exchange — I'd be willing to bet that you guys are going to be 24/7 before you know it, maybe in a couple of years. And a lot of that technology is based on Ethereum rails. And there's a world where this may start out in a permissioned context, like intranets before the internet exploded, and then there is the evolution where this technology goes onto public permissionless blockchains when things like privacy, confidentiality, and safety are more concrete. And there's a world where we, as one of the largest block builders and block producers, could be an institutional counterparty. So basically I could produce a block as a staking validator, for example, and sell it to the New York Stock Exchange or to Bank of America or to Walmart because they want a clean block that has no transactions from unauthorized parties that haven't been AML/KYC, and basically they'll value that. So not only do we have this kind of asset that's productive, we also are at a point in time where we're just about to see the tokenization of all assets. And right now — and I believe in the future — the infrastructure that's in a hegemonic position to be basically the global settlement layer for humanity is Ethereum.

**John Furrier:** Yeah. I mean, this is — I love the platform angle. Everything is being framed these days from a stack perspective. People say "the financial stack." You're bringing in, for lack of a better word, a trust stack. How do you view that in The Ether Machine? Because you have the asset, you have the protocols, you have operational capabilities, you've got the compliance and the market-structure test side of it. Explain the stack — how would you describe it?

**Andrew Keys:** So what I would say is this is an institutional vehicle for those that are seeking alpha specifically in Ethereum. If we understand that the majority of stablecoins and the majority of stocks, bonds, and real-world assets — like commodities, bars of gold, barrels of oil — are going to be tokenized and settle to a global ledger, right now the majority of those are occurring on Ethereum. And basically what we are doing is running the infrastructure for the world's global settlement layer, and we are able to generate additional Ether and accrete Ether concentration per share.

**John Furrier:** Last time you were on theCUBE, you talked about clean vehicles. ETFs are constrained — liquidity issues, redemption issues. Talk about that piece because when you start getting into simple frameworks and scale, what are important things to consider for folks looking to take advantage of what you're creating?

**Andrew Keys:** Sure, John. So basically, when I conceptualized this vehicle, I knew this could be a large capital base that is asset heavy. And if I were going to deploy a couple of billion dollars into a vehicle — which is what we're starting with — I had to make sure it was a clean vehicle. There are two paths: one we've seen a lot of, which is a reverse takeover of a dying company. With those reverse takeovers of shells, you have a pre-existing cap table, a pre-existing operating business. Maybe it was a biotech that failed clinical trials, maybe a former Bitcoin miner that still had hardware and data-center lease exposure, maybe a gambling company with pre-existing liabilities. I didn't want any of that. I wanted a clean slate because I'm contributing my own capital and friends, family, and institutional investors, so I had to ensure this was pristine. So we created a de novo LLC — brand new, no pre-existing issues — anchored it with capital, and that is merging with a public SPAC that doesn't have a previous operating business, to create The Ether Machine: the most powerful structure for long-term accretion and safe custody of Ether.

**John Furrier:** Andrew, what's compelling to me — coming from Silicon Valley and bringing theCUBE to NYSE — is seeing the capital-markets ethos merge with the ethos of crypto. You have open-access decentralization merging with capital-markets structure. There's trust on both sides. Talk about that intersection — how you're looking at it, where's the common ground, where's the action?

**Andrew Keys:** I think they're merging. There's not going to be traditional finance or decentralized finance — it's just going to be finance. Basically what we're seeing is the real-time evolution of the database. With this technology we should be able to have faster clearing and settlement, 24/7 trading, and the ability to run global infrastructure at fractions of the cost.

**John Furrier:** Love the business model innovation, the tech stack, the ethos you guys have — and the capitalism side, as well as with preserving open access and democratization. How would you explain what you're doing compared to some of the hype around treasuries? It's enthusiastic but also new. Where will reliability and trust be?

**Andrew Keys:** Simply put, I look at treasuries as a way to acquire an asset and hold it — similar to if you had a REIT where there's a building just sitting there. This is not a treasury where we're buying a singular asset like a building or a bar of gold or a Bitcoin. This is an operating company that can acquire assets like Ether, but we take it a step further — we productively manage risk and generate more Ether. If you conceptualize a barrel of oil, ExxonMobil takes that oil, distributes, refines and avails it to consumers, earning across the supply chain. We're much more ExxonMobil than the barrel of oil.

**John Furrier:** You're an ether machine. You're a money machine. Congratulations on the success of the business model. Again, all three things coming together — the productivity of the asset, the institutional controls, and the scale. Congratulations, and thanks for coming as you guys are trailblazers.

**Andrew Keys:** Thank you, sir.

**John Furrier:** Andrew, great conversation. You know the capital markets are accelerating fast into commercialization with decentralized — it's just finance. It's money. It's all real-world. It's all going to be on-chain. This is the future. The trailblazers are making it happen. TheCUBE is doing its part here at the New York Stock Exchange and in Palo Alto. Thanks for watching.
