Metavesco Realigns Strategy, Exits Crypto Mining and DeFi to Focus on OTCfi and Staffing

Metavesco, Inc. (OTC: MVCO) announced on June 8, 2026, a strategic realignment following a comprehensive review of its operating businesses. The company will concentrate its capital and resources on two core growth segments: OTCfi, its investor relations and infrastructure platform for the OTC market anchored by OTC Squawk, and Epic Labor, its on-demand staffing business with operations in Nashville and Baltimore. Management views OTCfi as the company's most significant long-term opportunity and the centerpiece of its forward strategy, while Epic Labor provides a foundation of operating revenue and established growth potential.

As part of the realignment, Metavesco is winding down several segments that management determined do not offer sufficient growth potential. The company is sunsetting its on-chain activities, excluding OTCfi-related operations, including its decentralized finance operations and associated liquidity pools. It is also fully exiting cryptocurrency mining operations and discontinuing its Boring Brew operations. CEO Ryan Schadel stated, "Growth means concentrating our resources behind the businesses that can scale - and having the discipline to step away from the ones that can't."

The decision to exit these segments reflects a disciplined approach to capital allocation. "Not every initiative earns a permanent place in the portfolio, and we're not interested in holding onto businesses out of sentiment," Schadel added. "These decisions free up focus and resources for the segments that can actually move the needle."

In addition to the realignment, Metavesco identified a new source of opportunity through its work on IRA, its AI-powered investor relations product. The company found that the process of building and testing IRA surfaced meaningful opportunities across the public markets, not just prospective customers but potential opportunities for the company itself. "When you sit at the center of the OTC market the way we intend for this platform, you start to see things others don't," Schadel said. "We've been treating those as leads. We're now going to treat them as what they really are - opportunities for Metavesco to participate in and grow from directly. That's a meaningful evolution in how we think about this business."

Metavesco intends to develop this into a deliberate part of its forward strategy, pursuing select opportunities as a participant where management believes the potential return justifies the company's involvement. This strategic shift positions Metavesco to focus on high-growth areas while leveraging unique insights gained from its OTC market platform.
