Recent Digital Asset Treasury announcements around Zcash have produced mixed reactions: one modest gain and notable selloffs, suggesting investor response to crypto-related strategy shifts has been inconsistent.
Over the past month, Reliance has shifted heavily toward a Zcash-focused Digital Asset Treasury, consolidating prior holdings into ZEC and then adding further cash allocations. Governance of this strategy was formalized with a new Crypto Advisory Board chair and an advisory agreement paid in stock. Earlier, Q3 2025 results showed debt reduction, improved equity, but lower revenue and ongoing losses. Today’s decision to again increase ZEC exposure extends this digital-asset-driven treasury repositioning.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement extends Reliance’s focus on Zcash within its Digital Asset Treasury, adding more cash to its existing ZEC position and emphasizing privacy-enabled architecture for institutional use. It follows recent consolidation of digital assets into ZEC and the establishment of a Crypto Advisory Board. Investors may watch how this concentrated strategy interacts with the company’s core insurance operations, balance sheet progress, and any future disclosures on digital-asset valuations and risk controls.

Additional Cash Deployment Demonstrates Confidence in Zcash’s Privacy-Enabled Architecture, Which the Company Believes Is Well-Suited for Institutional Use
LAKEWOOD, NJ, Dec. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reliance Global Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: RELI) (“Reliance”, “we” or the “Company”) today announced that it has deployed additional cash to increase its Zcash (ZEC) position. This additional allocation to the Company’s Digital Asset Treasury (“DAT”) reflects the Company’s internal view that ZEC may be an institutionally adaptable and technologically resilient privacy-enabled digital asset and may play a meaningful role in its long-term treasury strategy.
Zcash’s dual architecture which combines transparent auditability with optional privacy in the Company’s view supports its appeal to organizations seeking digital assets that can be implemented for regulated environments. Reliance’s decision to add to its position reflects the Company’s view that ZEC is supported by technology and a use-case-driven foundation that it believes aligns with long-term treasury and risk management objectives.
“Our increased allocation to Zcash stems from our continued analysis of how privacy-enabled digital assets fit within a modern treasury framework,” said Moshe Fishman, Director of Insurtech at Reliance and a member of the Company’s Crypto Advisory Board. “In our analysis, ZEC stands out to us because it combines optional transparency with a privacy model that is both deliberate and operationally practical. We believe it can provide institutions with flexibility while remaining compatible with robust governance and compliance requirements, and that balance is a key reason we chose to build on our existing position.”
“As digital assets mature, we expect the market to place greater emphasis on tools that balance confidentiality with compliance, we believe Zcash is positioned at that intersection,” said Ezra Beyman, Chairman and CEO of Reliance Global Group. “Adding to our position is a measured, strategic decision that demonstrates our belief in ZEC’s long-term relevance. We see privacy as an essential component of modern financial infrastructure, not an optional enhancement, and ZEC is one of the networks we have evaluated that we believe approaches this challenge with real technical depth.”
