Bitcoin Well Partners with Heritage IRA to Launch Bitcoin Retirement Accounts

Edmonton, Alberta — June 9, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Bitcoin Well Inc. (TSXV: BTCW; OTCQB: BCNWF) has announced a partnership with Heritage IRA Inc. to offer a Bitcoin IRA product. This collaboration aims to enable bitcoin-funded retirement accounts directly through Bitcoin Well's platform, the Bitcoin Portal. The company anticipates commencing implementation this month, with a projected launch for U.S. customers in the third quarter of 2026.

The partnership will provide customers with access to bitcoin within tax-advantaged retirement accounts, allowing them to gain exposure to bitcoin for retirement while maintaining transparency through on-chain visibility of their holdings. Heritage IRA will charge Bitcoin Well a flat wholesale rate per account, which Bitcoin Well may pass on to customers or use for marketing initiatives. Bitcoin Well is set to earn the full spread on all transactions conducted within these IRA accounts.

Implementation is slated to begin in June 2026, with the offering targeted for a Q3 2026 launch.

Adam O’Brien, founder and CEO of Bitcoin Well, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, noting the significant volume of assets in American retirement accounts and the apparent market demand for holding bitcoin within them. He stated that partnering with Heritage IRA provides the necessary infrastructure and regulatory compliance to meet this demand, while further enhancing Bitcoin Well's U.S. customer base of over 25,000 registered users on the Bitcoin Portal.

Mark Furmanek, CEO of Heritage IRA, highlighted the company's commitment to technology and service quality. He emphasized that the direct integration within the Bitcoin Portal will offer customers a seamless experience from account opening to transaction execution, featuring the on-chain transparency that self-directed investors are seeking. Furmanek added that Heritage IRA is excited to bring this offering to market with a partner that shares their dedication to customer experience.

Heritage IRA is described as a technology-focused provider of self-directed retirement accounts, integrating digital infrastructure with client service. The company, founded by industry veterans, specializes in facilitating investor access to alternative assets through a transparent and compliant process, prioritizing speed, operational excellence, and investor protection.

In a separate announcement, Bitcoin Well also disclosed an indebtedness of $62,091 ($45,000 USD) to a creditor as of May 29, 2026, pursuant to a sponsorship agreement. This debt represents accrued monthly service payments. Bitcoin Well intends to settle this debt by issuing 1,552,275 shares at a deemed price of $0.04 per share. This share issuance is subject to TSXV approval. All shares issued in connection with this settlement will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period.
