[PRESS RELEASE \u2013 NEW YORK, United States, July 18th, 2025]<\/strong><\/p>\n

GSR<\/a>, crypto\u2019s capital markets partner, today announced an investment and strategic partnership with MEI Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:MEIP) (\u201cMEI\u201d), in which it will serve as both strategic advisor and digital asset treasury manager. The $100 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) into MEI represents a significant step toward institutionalizing Litecoin as a treasury asset.<\/p>\n

GSR will work closely with Litecoin (LTC) creator Charlie Lee, who brings deep technical credibility and a long-term perspective on Litecoin\u2019s evolution, with support from the Litecoin Foundation. Lee and a GSR appointee will also join MEI\u2019s Board of Directors. This initiative follows MEI\u2019s previously announced review of strategic alternatives and reflects its new mission in alignment with both the Litecoin Foundation and GSR\u2019s digital asset management platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cLitecoin has consistently delivered a stable, low-cost, and accessible network for over a decade,\u201d said Charlie Lee, creator of Litecoin. \u201cWith leading global transaction volume on platforms like BitPay, Litecoin is trusted by users and integrated across retail and payments. This partnership with GSR and MEI brings that utility and mission into an institutional setting for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n

MEI\u2019s leadership is driving this strategic shift, viewing the partnership as a bridge between public markets and crypto-native innovation. With GSR serving as asset manager and execution partner, MEI will be well-positioned to manage LTC as a treasury asset.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative represents the first time a public company is aligning its treasury strategy with Litecoin at an institutional level,\u201d said Joshua Riezman, US Chief Strategy Officer, GSR. \u201cIt reflects rising institutional confidence in LTC\u2019s credibility, resilience, and regulatory clarity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is already meaningful institutional interest in Litecoin, but few mechanisms exist to access it in a secure and structured way,\u201d said Quynh Ho, Head of Venture Investment, GSR. \u201cThis investment is designed to close that gap by enabling access to an asset with remarkable staying power.\u201d<\/p>\n

With GSR as an investor, strategic advisor, and asset manager, the collaboration creates potential momentum for LTC\u2019s future growth in decentralized finance. GSR\u2019s broader involvement in the space, including the incubation of the Polygon-based protocol Katana, highlights its expertise in supporting emerging ecosystems.<\/p>\n

Charlie Lee and GSR acted as lead investors, alongside participation from the Litecoin Foundation and prominent crypto venture capital firms and infrastructure providers, including Mozayyx, Parafi, HiveMind, Primitive, RLH Capital, Delta Blockchain, and CoinFund, among other financial institutions.<\/p>\n

GSR continues to invest in the broader digital asset ecosystem, offering capital solutions, liquidity, and strategic advisory services to partners at all stages of growth.<\/p>\n
