Stronghold Digital Mining, Inc. (NasdaqGM:SDIG) and its Board of Directors ("Board") have initiated a formal strategic review process with the assistance of outside financial and legal advisors. The Company is considering a wide range of alternatives to maximize shareholder value, including, but not limited to, the sale of all or part of the Company, or another strategic transaction involving some, or all of, the assets of the Company. There is no deadline or definitive timetable set for the completion of the strategic alternatives process, and there can be no assurance any proposal will be made or accepted, any agreement will be executed, or any transaction will be consummated in connection with this review.

Stronghold does not intend to make further announcements regarding the review process unless and until the Board approves a specific transaction or otherwise determines that further disclosure is appropriate. The Company has retained Cohen and Company Capital Markets as financial advisor and Vinson & Elkins LLP as legal advisor to support Stronghold's management team and Board during the review process. "Stronghold's Board and management team are committed to maximizing value for our shareholders and, to that end, have commenced a comprehensive and thorough review of strategic alternatives," said Greg Beard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stronghold.
