Berliner Abendpost - Interactive Strength Inc. (Nasdaq: TRNR) Board of Directors Approves Bitcoin as Treasury Reserve Asset

• The Board of Directors approved a maximum cumulative Bitcoin purchase of up to $5 million

• The Company plans to accept payment in digital currencies

Interactive Strength Inc. (NASDAQ:TRNR) ("TRNR" or "the Company"), maker of innovative specialty fitness equipment under the CLMBR and FORME brands, today announced that the Company's Board of Directors approved the purchase of up to $5 million in Bitcoin as limited by 25% of the Company's average daily cash holdings over the three preceding calendar months.

Trent Ward, Co-Founder and CEO of TRNR, said: "As Bitcoin continues to grow, gaining investor attention and acceptance as a major and primary asset class, we believe that Bitcoin will serve as a strong treasury reserve asset. We believe its inflation-resistant characteristics may make it a reliable asset as a functional store of value. The recent approval of Bitcoin ETFs and increasing activity from institutional investors are compelling demonstrations of growing acceptance."

In addition, the Company plans to accept certain cryptocurrency payments, giving customers the flexibility to purchase its products using digital currencies soon. As part of this initiative, the TRNR Board of Directors has approved to retain these crypto payments in Bitcoin in the same limits as its treasury reserve assets, reflecting the Company's confidence in the long-term potential and value of digital assets. The allocation reflects a strong commitment to enhancing shareholder value by leveraging Bitcoin's potential as a hedge against inflation and as a valuable component of a diversified treasury.

"We have a global business and we see a unique opportunity to increase the convenience for our customers and to strengthen our treasury with an innovative investment," continued Mr. Ward. "We believe Bitcoin aligns with our forward-thinking strategy and complements our mission to drive innovation across all aspects of our business."
