Company Believes Its Equity Is Significantly Undervalued Relative to Net Asset Value Per Share

Midwest Data Center Investment Expected to Close in Q3 2026; Empery Digital’s Share of Cash Flow Expected to Exceed $440 Million over Life of Lease with Payments Beginning in Early 2027

AUSTIN, Texas -- (Business Wire)

Empery Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: EMPD) (the "Company" or "Empery Digital") today provided an update on its balance sheet and its previously announced strategic data center investments.

The Company currently holds 1,179 bitcoin, approximately $62 million in cash and $35 million of debt. With 29,813,797 shares outstanding, after giving effect to the potential exercise of 2,146,395 pre-funded warrants, that results in an NAV per share of $4.83 based on a bitcoin price of $79,800 and valuing each of the data center investments at cost. The Company's available cash position reflects legal expenses incurred in connection with the activist defense matters disclosed in its SEC filings. The Company expects that such expenses qualifying under the Company’s directors and officers insurance policy, exceeding the $5 million deductible, will be reimbursed by its insurance carriers.

This NAV calculation does not include the incremental value creation from the Company’s two minority investments in data center opportunities made possible by its strategic partnership with Hunt Properties. Management expects that these investments will generate meaningful value, pairing near-term cash flow with participation in behind the meter buildouts while capping Empery Digital’s funding obligation to its initial investments:

• An 8% interest in Cardinal Data Power, Inc. (“CDP”) following the $20 million preferred equity investment that it signed and closed in July. This investment supports CDP's inaugural behind the meter campus in West Texas, with phase I now contemplated to be 1.3 GW designed to deliver first power in 2027 and support expansion to more than 5 GW over time.
• An agreement to invest $65 million for a 25% interest in the private entity acquiring the 150 MW Midwest facility that will be converted into a state-of-the-art AI data center following the execution of a triple net lease agreement with high investment grade counterparties currently under LOI. This opportunity is on track to close in the third quarter of 2026. The Company believes that the facility should produce up to $2 billion in aggregate lease payments over the term of the lease, which, based on Empery Digital’s 25% share, would represent more than $440 million in cash flows to the Company over the life of the anticipated lease. Lease payments are expected to commence in early 2027.

"Our job is to allocate capital where it creates the most value for shareholders," said Ryan Lane, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Empery Digital. "Our balance sheet gives us the flexibility to do just that by pursuing a growing pipeline of diversified data center investment opportunities.”
