As previously disclosed, on September 27, 2024, the Company received notice from the NYSE American that it was not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirements of Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Company Guide. The Company subsequently implemented a plan to regain compliance, which was accepted by NYSE American on December 10, 2024.
NYSE American notified the Company that it has now determined that the Company has resolved the prior listing deficiencies.

The Company will continue to be subject to NYSE American’s ongoing listing standards and monitoring. In accordance with Section 1009(h) of the Company Guide, if the Company fails to maintain compliance with applicable listing standards within twelve months, NYSE American may review the circumstances and take appropriate action, which could include accelerated delisting procedures.
On March 31, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing that the NYSE American notified the Company that it has regained compliance with NYSE American listing standards. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

EXHIBIT 99.1
USBC Regains Full NYSE American Compliance
RENO, NV, March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- USBC, Inc. (NYSE American: USBC) (“USBC” or the “Company”), a publicly traded technology company that seeks to enable the transformation of traditional U.S. bank dollars into secure, compliant tokenized deposits, today announced that the NYSE American LLC ("NYSE American") has notified the Company that it is back in full compliance with all of the NYSE American continued listing standards effective March 27, 2026.
"Regaining full NYSE compliance reflects USBC’s commitment to financial discipline as we move toward the future launch of the tokenized deposit offering," said Greg Kidd, Chairman and CEO of USBC, Inc. “We appreciate the Exchange's support throughout this process and remain focused on executing our strategy and delivering long-term value to our stockholders."
The capital infusion to bring the Company back into compliance was provided by the successful closing of the August 2025 acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company by Goldeneye 1995 LLC, an affiliate of Chairman and CEO Greg Kidd.
The Company will continue to be subject to NYSE American's continued listing standards and monitoring. The compliance indicator (".BC") will no longer be disseminated, and the Company will no longer be included in the list of NYSE American noncompliant issuers on the Exchange's website.
