Republic Technologies Doubles ETH Holdings Amid 23% Appreciation in Total Value

Key Terms

validator infrastructure technical

Validator infrastructure is the network of computers and systems that verify and confirm transactions or data within a digital system, such as a blockchain. It functions like a group of trusted judges who ensure everything is accurate and legitimate before it becomes part of the official record. For investors, this infrastructure is crucial because it underpins the security, reliability, and integrity of the digital environment they are investing in.

attestations technical

Attestations are formal statements or confirmations that certain facts, processes, financial figures, or controls are accurate and have been checked, often supported by documentation or an independent reviewer. For investors they matter because attestations act like a trusted receipt or a third‑party check on a company’s claims — helping reduce uncertainty about financial health, regulatory compliance, and management credibility, which can influence investment decisions and market reactions.

secured convertible note facility financial

A secured convertible note facility is a financing arrangement where a lender provides a company with a line of credit in the form of notes (short-term loans) that are backed by specific company assets and can later be converted into shares. Investors care because it changes a company’s capital structure: it raises cash now like a loan, gives lenders priority claim on assets if things go wrong (like a mortgage), and can dilute existing shareholders if the debt converts into equity.

OTCQB regulatory

OTCQB is a tier of the over‑the‑counter (OTC) market where smaller or developing companies list their shares for trading without being on a major stock exchange. Think of it like a well‑kept side street market: companies must meet basic reporting and transparency checks so investors get more information than the lowest OTC tier, but trading is usually less liquid and riskier than on big exchanges. Investors care because OTCQB listings can offer early access to growth stories but come with higher price swings and greater chance of limited resale options.

Ethereum technical

Ethereum is a digital money system and computing platform built on a shared online ledger called a blockchain; its native token, ether (ETH), is used to pay for transactions and run automated contracts. Investors care because ether acts like a tradeable asset whose price can move sharply, and the platform’s usage, upgrades, and rules affect supply, demand and potential returns—think of it as both a new kind of commodity and the fuel for a global app store.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Republic Technologies Inc. (CSE: DOCT) (FSE: 7FM0) (WKN: A41AYF) (OTCQB: DOCKF) (the “Company” or “Republic”) is pleased to announce a significant expansion of its ETH holdings and continued progress in strengthening its infrastructure foundation, further enhancing its capacity of generating attestations that safeguard data integrity for universal applications.

Republic has purchased an additional 742.40 ETH, increasing total holdings to 1,570.60 ETH at a blended cost of approximately US$2,700 per ETH, for a total carrying value of roughly US$4.27 million. Based on the market price as of December 10, 2025, approximately US$3,300 per ETH, the holdings are worth around US$5.27 million, representing an estimated 23% appreciation.

Republic holds ETH as an operational asset and deploys it into validator infrastructure to secure the Ethereum network and generate the attestations that drive its business. This model positions the Company at the core of Ethereum’s rapidly developing ecosystem.

In parallel with expanding its infrastructure capacity, Republic employs sophisticated purchasing strategies, collectively referred to as “Synthetic Mining”, to acquire ETH at lower effective prices, generate additional revenue, and grow the balance sheet in ETH terms without issuing new equity. Over the past quarter, the Company allocated a portion of its balance sheet to Synthetic Mining strategies, which have generated average annualized returns in the range of 80% to 100%.

Following the Company’s OTCQB listing and the completion of its first US$10 million drawdown under the previously announced US$100 million secured convertible note facility, this non-dilutive balance sheet growth further enhances Republic’s capacity to scale validator operations and increase attestation output. These advancements move the Company closer to its mission of delivering trusted solutions that safeguard data integrity and benefiting the general public with advanced Ethereum technology.

“As Ethereum continues to gain adoption, Republic is strategically positioned to scale with the ecosystem’s growth,” said Daniel Liu, CEO of Republic Technologies. “Accelerating validator infrastructure deployment, expanding attestation capacity and expanding our ETH holdings remain core pillars to achieve our long-term strategy.”
