New Name Reflects Strategic Pivot to BTC Treasury Focus
VLCN Shares to Now Trade Under “EMPD”
303 Additional BTC Acquired, Treasury Holdings Now 3,803 BTC
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Empery Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: EMPD) (the “Company” or “Empery Digital”) today announced that it has changed its name from Volcon Inc., to Empery Digital Inc. aligning its name and branding with its new BTC treasury strategy. VLCN shares will now trade on Nasdaq under the new ticker symbol “EMPD” as of today, July 31, 2025.
“We are excited to launch as Empery Digital, a brand that aligns with our belief in bitcoin as the obvious digital store of value for the future,” said Ryan Lane, Co-CEO & Chairman of Empery Digital. “In an era defined by monetary debasement and accelerating technological change, we believe blockchain represents a transformative, decentralized network for establishing trust. Bitcoin, as the most mature and widely adopted application of this technology, lays the foundation for future innovations that promote the principals of transparency and accountability. We continue to work with the Gemini team to build our Bitcoin portfolio efficiently and ensure its safe custody for shareholders.”
“This name change signifies the Company’s pivot to a strategic focus on the digital asset ecosystem, while remaining committed to supporting its core operations,” said John Kim, Co-CEO of Empery Digital. “We will continue to reposition our e-power-sports business under the Empery Mobility brand, focused on a highly efficient, asset light business model, which leverages our international relationships to source affordable products for the U.S. markets.”
Additionally, yesterday the Company expanded its existing “at-the-market” (ATM) equity sales program and the associated prospectus supplement, providing access to over $1 billion of capital via opportunistic sales of equity. This increase, together with the recently expanded share repurchase plan, enhances financial flexibility and enables the company to support NAV accretion by issuing shares at a premium and repurchasing shares at a discount - effectively insulating the value creation engine of the digital asset treasury model.

As of the time of this release, the Company holds 3,803.23 BTC acquired for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $448 million, reflecting an average purchase price of $117,706 per BTC.
