Company Description
Safety Shot, Inc. (Nasdaq: SHOT) is described in its public communications as a company evolving to bridge the gap between traditional public markets and the digital asset ecosystem. According to recent press releases, the company is executing a new strategy focused on acquiring revenue-generating assets within decentralized finance (DeFi) and building a treasury of digital assets, while also operating a beverage division that holds patented and branded drink products.
In multiple news releases, Safety Shot states that its strategy centers on integrating with the BONK ecosystem, a digital asset environment built on the Solana blockchain. The company has formed a subsidiary, BONK Holdings LLC, to house its digital asset strategy and to build a treasury of BONK tokens. Safety Shot reports that BONK Holdings participates in the Solana DeFi ecosystem through activities such as staking, providing liquidity, and yield farming, with the stated aim of generating non-dilutive returns and strengthening the company’s balance sheet.
Safety Shot has also disclosed a 10% revenue sharing interest in the memecoin launchpad letsBONK.fun (also referred to as BONK.fun), which it characterizes as a decentralized platform on the Solana blockchain that allows users to create and launch meme coins without coding expertise. Company communications describe this revenue sharing interest as a core component of its strategy, providing recurring revenue that can be used to acquire additional BONK tokens and expand its digital asset treasury.
In addition to the digital asset focus, Safety Shot’s beverage division is highlighted in the company’s press releases. The division holds the patented Safety Shot (also described as Sure Shot in some releases) beverage, which the company describes as designed to rapidly reduce blood alcohol content, as well as Yerbaé’s plant-based energy beverage. The company’s disclosures emphasize that these beverage brands represent tangible operating assets alongside its digital asset holdings.
Safety Shot’s SEC filings show that its common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and that the company has used a variety of equity and preferred stock financings, including registered direct offerings, private placements, and the issuance of Series B and Series C preferred stock. The filings also describe revenue sharing arrangements tied to letsBONK.fun and the use of BONK tokens as consideration in certain transactions, underscoring the company’s integration with the BONK ecosystem.
In an 8-K filing, Safety Shot reports that it has received a Nasdaq notice regarding non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and an extension period to regain compliance, with the potential use of a reverse stock split as an option. The same filing notes that the company’s common stock continues to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market during this compliance period.
Subsequent press releases describe a strategic alliance with the BONK founding contributors, an initial allocation of BONK tokens to Safety Shot, and a financing anchored by investors including FalconX and BONK founding members. These transactions, as reported by the company, are structured to provide both cash and BONK tokens, reinforcing Safety Shot’s stated objective of becoming a public vehicle aligned with the BONK ecosystem.
Safety Shot has also announced corporate governance changes, including the appointment of BONK core contributor Mitchell Rudy (also known as “Nom”) to its Board of Directors, and a broader board refresh to add directors with experience in digital assets, venture capital, financial due diligence, and Bitcoin mining. These changes are described as aligning the company’s governance with its digital asset-focused strategy.
In later news, the company announces the formation of BONK Holdings LLC, the active management of its BONK treasury, and a strategic alliance with Monarq Asset Management, a digital asset investment manager, to manage its BONK holdings with mandates for active treasury management, yield generation, accumulation, and wealth preservation. Safety Shot states that this approach is intended to create a self-sustaining financial model where yield from digital assets can cover public company operating expenses.
The company further reports that it has reserved, and later adopts, the ticker symbol “BNKK” and changes its corporate name to Bonk, Inc., stating that this rebranding reflects a full strategic transformation into what it describes as a premier public vehicle for the BONK ecosystem. According to the press release, the company begins trading on Nasdaq under the new ticker symbol BNKK on a specified date, and the CUSIP numbers for its common stock and warrants remain unchanged. This indicates that the historical SHOT symbol and related warrants are part of a corporate evolution that includes a name and ticker change.
Business focus and segments
Based on the company’s own descriptions, Safety Shot’s activities can be viewed in two main areas:
- Digital asset and DeFi exposure: Through BONK Holdings LLC, revenue sharing interests in letsBONK.fun, and a treasury of BONK tokens, the company positions itself as a public-market proxy for participation in the BONK ecosystem and related DeFi activities.
- Beverage division: The company’s beverage division, as described in its press releases, includes the patented Safety Shot (or Sure Shot) beverage aimed at reducing blood alcohol content and Yerbaé’s plant-based energy beverage.
Corporate evolution and ticker change
Company press releases state that Safety Shot, Inc. has changed its corporate name to Bonk, Inc. and that its common stock begins trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new ticker symbol BNKK on a specified date. The same communication notes that the CUSIP numbers for the company’s common stock and warrants remain unchanged and that no action is required by stockholders in connection with the name and ticker change. This reflects a corporate transformation in which the SHOT listing and related warrants transition into the Bonk, Inc. identity and BNKK ticker.
Regulatory filings and capital structure
Safety Shot’s 8-K filings detail multiple capital markets transactions, including registered direct offerings of common stock, private placements of common stock and warrants, and the issuance of Series B and Series C preferred stock. The filings describe terms such as conversion prices, voting rights, and dividend rights for preferred shares, as well as revenue sharing agreements tied to letsBONK.fun. These documents provide formal regulatory context for the company’s financing activities and its integration of BONK tokens into its capital structure.
Location and listing
SEC filings list Safety Shot, Inc. with principal executive offices in Scottsdale, Arizona and, in earlier filings, in Jupiter, Florida. The company’s common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and its warrants are referenced in filings under the SHOT symbol with descriptions indicating that each warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at a specified exercise price.
