M2i Global to Enhance Supply Chain Transparency with Blockchain Technology

M2i Global, Inc. (“M2i” or the “Company”) (OTCQB:MTWO), a firm focused on developing a comprehensive global value supply chain for critical minerals, has announced a new strategic initiative aimed at integrating blockchain technology into its operations. The company plans to establish a separate entity named “Ethereum Reserve,” aiming to position itself at the cutting edge of the evolving financial sector. M2i will maintain a significant equity stake in Ethereum Reserve, ensuring that both entities work synergistically within the same ecosystem. This ecosystem is designed to offer partners access to complete solutions, enhancing business prospects, securing offtake agreements, shaping government policy, collaborating with relevant NGOs, and engaging with trusted laboratories.

Formation of Ethereum Reserve

M2i is set to invest seed capital and retain a substantial equity stake in the newly established Ethereum Reserve. The aim for this new venture is to transition into a publicly traded entity that focuses on Ethereum development. The company plans to utilize its cash flows and funds raised through financing to accumulate Ethereum, which will serve as its main treasury reserve asset. Ethereum, recognized for its decentralized blockchain and smart contract capabilities, is second only to Bitcoin in terms of market capitalization and was introduced by programmer Vitalik Buterin in 2013.

Blockchain for Unchanging Traceability

Implementing a blockchain-based framework to document every phase of the mineral supply chain, spanning from extraction to transportation and processing, will create a permanent digital record. The transparency and unchangeable nature of blockchain technology will provide a reliable account for stakeholders regarding the origins of minerals, ethical sourcing practices, and adherence to national defense standards. This immutable record will enhance M2i’s value in sourcing, tracking, and tracing critical minerals within its global supply chain.

Collaboration with Komodo Capital

M2i’s previously disclosed strategic alliance with Komodo Capital, a mergers and acquisitions firm with extensive connections in Australia, will be instrumental in the establishment, management, and funding of the Ethereum Reserve. Komodo Capital has cultivated relationships over many years with an array of mineral asset and mining companies across Australia, which will support the new initiative.

Ethereum: The Leading Blockchain Choice

In its assessment of various blockchain platforms, M2i has identified Ethereum as the leading option in the realm of programmable blockchains. Ethereum stands apart from its competitors due to its robust uptime, ability to adapt to changing market conditions, and a globally recognized developer community. “Our ecosystem is looking at the future of commodity reserves holistically, including both physical and digital commodities. That’s why we’re committing to the Ethereum network as digital oil, enabling an entire ecosystem of offline and online use cases powered by $ETH. We see strong potential in how the Ethereum network can help us track and transparently display real-time information on our real-world commodities and connect operations across all our partner companies to save on costs,” stated Doug Cole, Executive Chairman at M2i Inc. He emphasized Ethereum’s evolution and adaptability, particularly noting its transition to Proof-of-Stake and the richness of its decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem as key advantages.

Regulatory Clarity Enhances Opportunities

The recent clarification from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding Ethereum’s classification as a non-security marks a significant milestone for institutional players like M2i. This clarity has enabled the company to move forward confidently in its engagement with blockchain technology. “The SEC’s position on Ethereum provides the regulatory certainty we needed to fully embrace this technology,” explained Doug Cole. He highlighted that while newly created Ethereum ETFs offer investor exposure to $ETH, there are numerous opportunities within Ethereum’s programmable blockchain that extend beyond traditional ETF structures. M2i plans to not only accumulate $ETH but also stake it, aiming to become one of the largest validators in the ecosystem and build Layer-2 applications to facilitate expansive global marketplaces.

Initial Actions and Future Strategies

While M2i and Ethereum Reserve’s detailed blockchain strategy is set to be revealed in the upcoming quarter, the company has already made considerable progress in understanding the strategic and legal frameworks of companies like MicroStrategy. “This is just the beginning of an industry-defining journey,” said Doug Cole. He emphasized the commitment to capture value for investors through an evolving understanding of blockchain’s future significance in society, noting the bold steps taken by MicroStrategy in converting shares to crypto.
