reAlpha Tech Corp. (“reAlpha” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: AIRE), a
real estate technology company developing and commercializing
artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies, today announced that
its board of directors has approved an investment policy for the
purchase of cryptocurrencies and to adopt Bitcoin, Ethereum and
Solana (collectively, the “cryptocurrencies”) as reAlpha’s primary
treasury reserve assets. The Company plans to allocate up to 25% of
its cash in excess of its estimated 6-month period operating
expenses, if any, towards cryptocurrency purchases, subject to
market conditions and actual operating needs of the Company,
reflecting the Company’s commitment to innovative capital
management and diversification strategies.
Cryptocurrencies are recognized as a decentralized store of
value, and the decision to adopt cryptocurrencies as reAlpha’s
primary treasury reserve assets is part of its strategy to
diversify its treasury holdings, which is currently only comprised
of cash.
“This board-approved initiative demonstrates our forward-looking
approach to capital management,” said Giri Devanur, Chief Executive
Officer of reAlpha. “By adopting this new investment policy and
allocating a portion of our excess cash to cryptocurrencies after
accounting for our operating needs and acquisition opportunities,
we aim to diversify our treasury holdings and position reAlpha to
adapt to changing market conditions and growing global acceptance
of cryptocurrencies, while retaining the flexibility to execute our
growth initiatives.”
The cryptocurrencies are expected to serve as reAlpha’s primary
treasury reserve assets on an ongoing basis, subject to market
conditions and the anticipated cash needs of reAlpha. reAlpha will
monitor its future cryptocurrencies holdings closely to adjust its
allocation strategy in response to market conditions or evolving
regulatory frameworks, if needed.
For more details regarding reAlpha’s cryptocurrency treasury
strategy and investment policy, please refer to the Current Report
on Form 8-K to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) and supplemental disclosures included

About reAlpha Tech Corp.
reAlpha Tech Corp. (Nasdaq: AIRE) is a real estate technology
company developing an end-to-end commission-free homebuying
platform. Utilizing the power of AI and an acquisition-led growth
strategy, reAlpha’s goal is to offer a more affordable, streamlined
experience for those on the journey to homeownership. For more
information, visit www.reAlpha.com.
About the reAlpha Platform
reAlpha (previously called “Claire”), announced on April 24,
2024, is reAlpha’s generative AI-powered, commission-free,
homebuying platform. The tagline: No fees. Just keys.™ – reflects
reAlpha’s dedication to eliminating traditional barriers and making
homebuying more accessible and transparent.
reAlpha’s introduction aligns with major shifts in the real
estate sector after the National Association of Realtors agreed to
settle certain lawsuits upon being found to have violated antitrust
laws, resulting in inflated fees paid to buy-side agents. This
development is expected to result in the end of the standard six
percent sales commission, which equates to approximately $100
billion in realtor fees paid annually. The reAlpha platform offers
a cost-free alternative for homebuyers by utilizing an AI-driven
workflow that assists them through the homebuying process.
Homebuyers using the reAlpha platform’s conversational interface
will be able to interact with Claire, reAlpha’s AI buyer’s agent,
to guide them through every step of their homebuying journey, from
property search to closing the deal. By offering support 24/7,
Claire is poised to make the homebuying process more efficient,
enjoyable, and cost-efficient. Claire matches buyers with their
dream homes using over 400 data attributes and provides insights
into market trends and property values. Additionally, Claire can
assist with questions, booking property tours, submitting offers,
and negotiations.
Currently, the reAlpha platform is under limited availability
for homebuyers located in 20 counties in Florida, but reAlpha is
actively seeking new MLS and brokerage licenses that will enable
expansion into more U.S. states.
