House of Doge 2025 Shareholder Letter

Dear Shareholders,

As we approach the end of 2025, I am pleased to provide this update on the significant progress House of Doge has made over the past year and the promising direction we are heading into 2026.

Despite challenging public-market conditions, 2025 marked deliberate, foundational progress in establishing the corporate framework, infrastructure, product strategy, and partnership initiatives needed to support execution of our multi-pillar business plan. We remain confident in the long-term potential of Dogecoin and in the platform we are building as the official corporate arm of the Dogecoin Foundation.

Among the key milestones achieved was the signing of our definitive merger agreement with Brag House Holdings (NASDAQ: TBH), with closing expected in the first quarter of 2026 pending regulatory approval. We expect that transitioning to a publicly traded company post-closing will provide us with greater visibility, enhanced access to capital, and the ability to scale our business while delivering long-term shareholder value.

We established the Official Dogecoin Treasury, resulting in CleanCore Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: ZONE) becoming one of the largest institutional holders of Dogecoin globally with over 730 million DOGE and growing. Along with our 10 year asset management agreement positioning House of Doge among the largest institutional managers of Dogecoin globally. In parallel, through our partnership with 21Shares, Dogecoin has gained new entry points for both retail and institutional participants through regulated, exchange-traded ETF and ETP products in the United States and Europe. We expect these efforts to lay the groundwork for a more mature financial market around Dogecoin.

We continued advancing our mandate to establish Dogecoin as an everyday currency through a suite of planned B2B and B2C payment solutions, with announcements and initial rollouts to begin in Q1 next year. These include a rewards debit card enabling DOGE spend at over 150 million merchants worldwide, an embeddable Dogecoin wallet for third-party fintech and marketplace apps, Dogecoin acceptance tools for SMB and enterprise merchants, and a Doge-centric financial app that will serve as a gateway for our future product roadmap. Together, these initiatives are expected to drive consumer and merchant adoption of Dogecoin while generating transaction-based, recurring, and partnership-driven revenue opportunities for House of Doge as products move from development into market deployment.

Our strategic investments in professional sports have also been an important component of our long-term platform strategy. This year, House of Doge became the largest shareholder of U.S. Triestina Calcio 1918, one of Italy’s oldest professional football clubs, and a major investor and principal sponsor of Switzerland’s HC Sierre hockey team. These investments will serve as showcases for how a digital asset can drive real-world value into sports franchises and the communities around them—opening new opportunities in payments, fan engagement, and future team-ownership tokenization concepts. Sports deliver global visibility, passionate audiences, and commercially valuable distribution—attributes aligned with Dogecoin’s uniquely engaged and culturally embedded community.

As we look ahead to 2026, House of Doge is focused on transitioning our core initiatives into scalable products and initial cash-generating operations, with early-stage commercialization. Our revenue model is intentionally diversified across treasury-related participation, payments infrastructure, brand partnerships, and sports-based commerce and engagement. As adoption grows, these channels are designed to scale alongside usage, supported by recurring and transaction-based revenue structures. The Company is supported by a strengthened operating foundation, long-term capital partners, and the pending business combination with Brag House, positioning us to fund product development, payments infrastructure, treasury expansion initiatives, and initial rollouts as we move from foundation-building toward execution.

Throughout my career, I have focused on building payment solutions that people can rely on and systems that scale, earn trust, and integrate naturally into everyday financial structures. That experience shapes how we approach Dogecoin integration today. To us the future of Dogecoin is not a speculative asset but a currency with the potential to move value efficiently, transparently, and globally. This year was about building the foundation required to make that vision real.

As I reflect on the progress we made this year, I am mindful that execution of this vision depends entirely on the people behind it. During my time as CEO of Payfare, we built one of the most widely adopted financial applications in the market—reaching more than 10 million downloads and ranking #1 among financial services apps—through discipline, trust, and consistent delivery. Our strong leadership team, some of which were also with me at Payfare, bring with them a shared execution mindset and a proven ability to translate complex financial infrastructure into products with meaningful real-world adoption. Together with Matt Swann and the Dogecoin Foundation’s development leadership, including Director Timothy Stebbing, whose deep understanding of the Dogecoin community is unparalleled, this team gives me strong confidence as we enter the new year.

Looking ahead, 2026 will be a year of focused execution. Over the past twelve months, we have laid the groundwork for our go-to-market strategy and engaged key partners across the crypto and financial ecosystems. The partnerships we expect to announce with some of the industry’s leading organizations will play a central role in our multi-pillar revenue strategy spanning payments, treasury, tokenization, and other commercialization opportunities that leverage Dogecoin’s reach. We will remain thoughtful in how we grow, deliberate in how we deploy capital, and committed to advancing our roadmap with a results-driven approach.

Thank you for your continued support and belief in what we are building. On behalf of our entire team, I wish you and your families a happy and healthy holiday season, and we look forward to sharing more in the year ahead.

Sincerely,
Marco Margiotta
Chief Executive Officer
