Arcario's interim report for Q2 and first half of 2023 reveals the completion of a pivotal transformation for both Arcario and K33. Financially, the quarter unfolded as expected, highlighting improvements in EBITDA and underlying financial operations. Arcario, now more streamlined, is ardently committed to nurturing its portfolio companies and pursuing new investments. Even in a calmer market, all portfolio entities demonstrated commendable progress. Amplified by the increasing U.S. market's interest in Arcario and its subsidiaries, the company is actively working toward a stock listing in the U.S. The full Q2 2023 report is published at arcario.com/ir.

Michael Jackson, Chair of Arcario comments:
Q2 was transformative, characterized by strategic growth and robust performance. With the restructuring behind us and considering K33’s current trajectory and the recovering market conditions, we anticipate significant revenue growth for the group in 2024. The evolved Arcario, now leaner in its operations, focuses on nurturing its portfolio companies and seeking out new valuable investment opportunities. The escalating interest from the U.S. market in Arcario and our portfolio companies is undeniable. Our decision to resume the OTCQB listing in the U.S. is designed to expand our global reach, enhance liquidity, and diversify our shareholder base by offering a regulated, approved investment product for a discerning US audience.
Torbjørn Bull Jenssen, CEO of Arcario and K33 comments:
Q2 has been a pivotal quarter for both Arcario and K33. After our strategic restructuring, both entities have witnessed significant operational growth. K33 maintains a laser-focused approach to digital assets wealth management and has secured its inaugural external investment from the Chicago-based tradetech company, Liquid Mercury. Examining the market, Q2's trading activity displayed a stagnation in the crypto market. This apparent tranquility conceals the significant institutional changes happening in the backdrop. Our faith in Arcario, K33, and its associated entities remains steadfast. The heightened interest from U.S. investors, combined with the institutional shifts we note, reinforces our positive outlook.
