Exodus Movement Files Lawsuit to Compel W3C Corp to Complete Sale
OMAHA, Neb., April 13, 2026 -- Exodus Movement, Inc. (NYSE American: EXOD) ("Exodus" or “the company”), a leading self-custodial cryptocurrency platform, today announced that it has filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery to compel W3C Corp and its CEO Garth Howat to comply with their obligations under the November 24, 2025 Stock Purchase Agreement. Exodus has declared the loans provided to W3C to be payable on demand and exercised its rights under the related loan security. Exodus believes that it will prevail in obtaining a judicial order compelling W3C and Howat to close the transaction on the agreed-upon terms.
JP Richardson, CEO and Co-founder of Exodus commented, “We have a binding agreement with W3C and expect it to be fully honored. We’re confident in the path forward and anticipate a swift resolution.”
On April 8, 2026, Exodus obtained approvals from the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority needed to close its pending acquisition of the shares of W3C. With this approval, the initiation of this lawsuit, and the exercise of its rights under the loan facilities, Exodus intends to move expeditiously to close the acquisition of W3C.
Exodus’ Management team will provide an update on the W3C acquisition and outline a forward-looking roadmap for the company’s next phase of growth at The Exodus Summit May 1, 2026, in Omaha, Nebraska.
