OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CleanCore Solutions, Inc. (NYSE American: ZONE) (“CleanCore” or the “Company”), today announced that it has entered into securities purchase agreements for a private investment in public equity (PIPE) for the offer and sale of 175,000,420 Pre-Funded Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Pre-Funded Warrant for expected aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $175,000,420 before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses (funded in a combination of cash and cryptocurrencies) to implement a Dogecoin treasury strategy.
The transaction creates the only official Dogecoin treasury sponsored by the Dogecoin Foundation and the House of Doge, the authorized Commercial Arm of the Dogecoin Foundation. Timothy Stebbing, Director at the Dogecoin Foundation and CTO of House of Doge, will join the board alongside Chairman Alex Spiro. Marco Margiotta, Chief Executive Officer of the House of Doge will also be joining the Company as Chief Investment Officer. House of Doge and 21Shares will serve to support and advise the treasury.
The transaction consisted of a group of over 80 marquee institutional and crypto native investors including, but not limited to, MOZAYYX, Pantera, GSR, FalconX, Borderless, Mythos and Serrur & Co. LLC.
The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about September 4, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including without limitation, the authorization of the Supplemental Listing Application by the NYSE American. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to acquire Dogecoin commonly referred to as “DOGE” and contribute the DOGE to the Company’s treasury operations. DOGE will serve as the Company’s primary treasury reserve asset.
Marco Margiotta, Chief Executive Officer of the House of Doge, said, “Dogecoin has always been powered by its community, the most loyal and passionate in the digital asset space. By anchoring Dogecoin with an official foundation-backed treasury strategy, we’re setting a precedent for how public companies can align with foundations to build real utility around digital currency, while honoring the community. With CleanCore we’re creating a vehicle that we expect to unlock tremendous potential for a digital asset born from a grassroots movement that made Dogecoin and this moment possible.”
Proceeds from the private placement will enable the Company to adopt Dogecoin (DOGE) as its primary treasury reserve asset and provide funding for general working capital and corporate purposes. Dogecoin is uniquely designed for utility, with a value proposition positioned for meaningful growth. Expanding commercialization, new integrations, and increasing retail acceptance are expected to accelerate institutional participation and drive stronger demand. At the same time, a utility-led strategy is underway to establish Dogecoin as a leading cryptocurrency optimized for payments, tokenization, and everyday use. In parallel, discussions with major crypto exchanges are focused on introducing staking-like rewards and yield opportunities for treasury holdings, creating additional value for holders.
Timothy Stebbing, Dogecoin Foundation Director and newly appointed member of the Board of Directors, said, “This new treasury vehicle is a fundamental step toward the House of Doge and Dogecoin Foundation's mission to bring institutional adoption to Dogecoin. By laying the groundwork for institutions through treasury and ETFs with 21Shares we are building underlying legitimacy as a serious currency beyond Dogecoin's meme-inspired origins. This is critical to pave the way for real institutional adoption, as Main Street must feel confident investing in commercial integration for payments.”
Clayton Adams, CEO of CleanCore, said, “CleanCore has always been about challenging the status quo through innovation. By anchoring our treasury with Dogecoin, in partnership with the Dogecoin Foundation and House of Doge, we’re adopting a forward-looking reserve strategy while proving how public companies can embrace bold change. This is a watershed moment for both CleanCore and the broader Dogecoin community, to whom we owe much thanks, and we’re proud to help set the standard for what a foundation-backed digital treasury can look like.”
