Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2024) - The BC Bud Corporation (CSE: BCBC) (OTC Pink: BCBCF) ("The BC Bud Co" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce its decision to purchase Ripple (XRP), a popular and increasingly legitimized cryptocurrency, as part of its strategic efforts to create shareholder value.

The Company will begin by allocating CAD $250,000 from its cash reserves held in its Canadian accounts to purchase XRP. This move reflects the Company's belief in the potential of XRP to provide an attractive return on investment for shareholders.

The purchase will be facilitated through Coinsquare, a subsidiary of WonderFi Technologies, a publicly traded and regulated cryptocurrency trading platform overseen by the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA). The Company emphasizes that this transaction is fully compliant with all relevant Canadian financial regulations, ensuring a secure and legal process. The purchase(s) will take place throughout the month of December 2024 and into early 2025.

"We are excited to explore innovative ways to protect and grow our capital in a challenging financial environment," said Brayden Sutton, CEO of The BC Bud Co. "Ripple's recent advancements in both legal and market legitimacy make it a compelling addition. With multiple global asset managers filing proposals with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to introduce spot XRP exchange traded funds, and renewed optimism following pro-crypto policy expectations under Donald Trump's administration, we believe Ripple presents a unique opportunity to align with emerging financial trends and create long-term value for our shareholders."

The Company will continue to monitor market conditions and may increase or decrease its holdings of XRP as it deems appropriate.

This strategic initiative aligns with the Company's commitment to exploring innovative ways to navigate inflationary pressures while delivering long-term value for its shareholders.
