• Murano to Enhance Existing Core-Strategy
• 21 Bitcoin (BTC) Purchased to Date; Aims to Become a Major BTC Holder
• Joins BTC Inc & Michael Saylor's Strategy-Backed Initiative "Bitcoin for Corporations" as Chairman's Circle Member
• Significant Proceeds from SEPA Expected to Be Used to Purchase BTC

LONDON, July 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MURANO GLOBAL INVESTMENTS PLC (NASDAQ:MRNO) ("Murano" or the "Company") today announced an enhancement to its corporate strategy aimed at building a Bitcoin (BTC) Treasury. The Company will continue with its core strategy of developing real estate and operating its Mexican hotel and resort business while simultaneously leveraging its operating cash flows, substantial real estate holdings, and access to capital markets to build a robust Bitcoin Treasury.

This transition is designed to accelerate Murano's existing strategy of exploring methods to release its long-term capital that is locked in the development of real estate properties to drive greater capital efficiency, unlock balance sheet liquidity, and generate improved yield for shareholders. Such methods to release the long-term capital, as detailed in recent filings, may include:

• prioritizing the development of assets for sale (such as the residential condominiums planned for the next phase of the Grand Island Cancun project); and
• the pursuit of sale and leaseback transactions to unlock capital, whilst retaining operational management and future profitability of hotel operations.

As part of its BTC treasury initiative, Murano has recently purchased 21 Bitcoins. Further, on July 1st, 2025, Murano joined "Bitcoin for Corporations," an industry alliance backed by BTC Inc & Michael Saylor's Strategy focused on accelerating the corporate adoption of Bitcoin as a "Chairman's Circle Member."

The Company's Founder, Chairman and CEO Elias Sacal commented "We're incredibly excited about enhancing our core strategy with this complementary Bitcoin Treasury initiative. We see Bitcoin as a transformative asset that not only offers long-term growth potential but also strengthens our balance sheet against inflation and systemic risk. "

Murano's existing model, enhanced by its Bitcoin Treasury Initiative, includes:

1. Hospitality operations: Murano is reviewing and exploring new operational initiatives such as the acceptance of BTC as a payment method and Bitcoin reward programs to further enhance and differentiate the Company's existing hospitality operations.
2. Real estate divestitures: As part of the alternatives under evaluation, Murano may consider entering into opportunistic sale-leaseback transactions to increase its liquidity and provide the capital to fund additional BTC investments.
3. Capital markets activity: Murano entered into an up to $500 million Standby Equity Purchase Agreement ("SEPA") with Yorkville. Murano expects to use proceeds from sales of shares under the SEPA for general corporate purposes, including primarily for investing in BTC.
4. Bitcoin purchases: The Company intends to expand its existing BTC portfolio to create a robust stack over time.
