Information regarding the candidates nominated by the Nomination Committee for re-election to the Board of Directors is available on the Company’s website under the Investor Relations section. ITEM 12: RESOLUTION ON APPROVAL OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTOR’S REMUNERATION REPORT Under the Swedish Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Director’s is required to prepare a report for each financial year regarding paid and outstanding remuneration to Board members, the CEO and the deputy CEO who are covered by the guidelines. As the Company has no deputy CEO and the Board members do not receive any remuneration other than that decided by the general meeting, the report for 2023 only covers the Company's CEO. According to the Swedish Corporate Governance Board's rules on remuneration to senior executives and on incentive programs, the report must contain an overview of each of the outstanding and concluded incentive programs completed during the year. The Board of Directors suggests that the Annual General Meeting approve the remuneration report for the financial year 2022.

28th April 2023 | SAINT HELIER, Jersey | CoinShares International Limited (“CoinShares” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq Stockholm: CS;US OTCQX: CNSRF), Europe's leading alternative asset manager specialising in digital assets, today published its 2022 Annual Report, providing comprehensive and detailed information on the firm, its financial performance, its strategy, corporate governance and the industry and market for the 2022 financial year. The report includes the audited financial statements for the year ending 31st December 2022. The full report can be found here. The AGM Notice can be found here.
2022 financial highlights
- Revenue of £51.3 million (2021: £80.8 million).
- Operating loss* of £20.2 million (2021: operating profit of £101.4 million).
- Total comprehensive income for the year £2.9 million (2021: £113.5 million).
- Net asset position of the Group as at 31st December 2022 of £203.7 million (December 2021: £200.0 million).
*Operating loss taken from the Group’s Alternative Statement of Comprehensive Income
2022 business overview:
- Asset Management: European net investment into crypto ETPs was mildly negative as a result of market events including Luna and FTX. 2022 saw gross revenue generated from XBT Provider of £46.0 million (2021: £78.3 million), with CoinShares Physical posting gross revenue of £2.3 million (2021: £0.9 million) with inflows roughly offsetting the negative revenue impact of price over the year. The Group’s BLOCK Index generated fees of £1.9 million (2021: £1.2 million). In 2023, we believe that European regulatory clarity around both ETPs and underlying crypto assets will help a larger proportion of professional investors to invest in the opportunity that strengthening fundamentals and lower prices present.
- Capital Markets: The total notional traded by CoinShares Capital Markets in 2022 reduced to $15.0 billion (2021: $32 billion) as market participants withdrew from the market and black swan events quelled investor appetites. Q2 and Q4 Capital Markets performance was overshadowed by the significant exceptional items incurred on disposal of the Group’s US Terra holding and amounts held on FTX, which stood at £17.9 million and £26.0 million respectively. Gains and income generated by the Capital Markets team excluding these two items was £26.5 million (2021: £61.2 million).
- Consumer Solutions: FTX’s bankruptcy had a significant impact on the Group’s capacity to deploy HAL.trading in Europe. Consequently, in consultation with CoinShares France’s senior management, it was decided to terminate CoinShares’ consumer activity. (to refocus our energy on our core strategy)
- Principal Investments: Our Principal Investments portfolio suffered from the turbulence of 2022 and we experienced several write-downs with certain invested companies ceasing trading altogether. Following the events of 2022, we believe that institutional focused, regulated players will benefit the most in 2023. This view aligns with our investments in Komainu, the regulated custodian, which successfully raised at the end of Q4 2022 and announced a new CEO. Additionaly It is aligned with our FlowBank investment, the fully licensed Swiss bank, which has experienced a consistent 30-40% growth rate in new clients per quarter since Q1 2021.
- Strategy
CoinShares' 2022 Annual Report highlights the company's focus on its core identity as an asset manager with 10 years of expertise in the digital asset industry. With clarified objectives and by charting a new path, the 2023 strategy is designed to consolidate CoinShares' position as Europe's leading alternative asset manager specialised in digital assets.
To cater to investors seeking sophisticated investment alternatives, CoinShares plans to expand its product offering and establish an active asset management business with several strategies open to institutional external allocators. For its passive asset management franchise, the company aims to continue to increase its European market share of gross inflows, targeting a 30% share this year doubling up versus 2021.

April 24th 2023 | SAINT HELIER, Jersey | CoinShares International Limited (“CoinShares” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq Stockholm: CS;US OTCQX: CNSRF), Europe's premier alternative asset manager specialising in digital assets, is excited to announce the implementation of LedgerLens, a real time reserves attestation solution provided by independent accounting firm, The Network Firm. This innovative blockchain-enabled solution will offer real time attestation services for CoinShares' Exchange Traded Products (ETPs), including XBT Provider and CoinShares Physical, enabling investors to independently verify the backing of digital assets through easily accessible and instant attest reports.
CoinShares' dedication to providing tailored investment products with enhanced security, transparency, and trust in the digital asset market is reinforced by enabling independent real time asset verification. This commitment was first demonstrated in 2020 with the implementation of the now-terminated TrustExplorer solution, also provided by an independent accounting firm, Armanino LLP.
The LedgerLens solution, implemented by CoinShares, enhances trust in asset-backed tokens and crypto-collateralized notes by offering high frequency reporting and insights into assets and liabilities, including historical positions. This increased transparency facilitates compliance with both international and domestic regulatory requirements, further solidifying CoinShares' standing as a reliable leader in the digital asset investment sector.
Richard Nash, CoinShares’ Chief Financial Officer commented “CoinShares has always championed the importance of trust and transparency. We are happy to announce that we are re-launching our proof-of-reserves solution with the help of The Network Firm and the same, trusted team of individuals we have been working alongside for nearly three years. We see this solution as part of our overall commitment to transparency which is of course a fundamental requirement and benefit of our listed status.”
The Network Firm’s Partner and CEO, Noah Buxton added, “Digital assets allow for major innovations in transparency, which have largely been unrealized over the history of digital assets and the financial industry products based on public blockchains. While real-time reserves reporting is not a panacea to all trust problems in the market today, it does empower asset managers to meet the demands of consumers and the public to offer additional, meaningful, frequent, and independent transparency into their products and operations.” Buxton highlighted that, “With innovative financial products and the increasing complexity of global capital markets comes the need for innovative attest and transparency tools."
