OLB Group Announces Transformational Spin-Off: Shareholders to Receive Equity in Two Distinct Public Companies
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 3rd , 2026 — The OLB Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: OLB) (“OLB” or the “Company”), a diversified fintech firm specializing in payment solutions and digital asset technology, today announced the planned structure for the spin-off of DMint, Inc. (“DMint”), its high-growth digital asset mining subsidiary.
A Landmark Opportunity for OLB Shareholders
Upon completion of this transaction, current OLB shareholders will own equity interests in not one, but two separately traded public companies—without investing an additional dollar:
| ● | OLB Group: A streamlined fintech powerhouse focused on payment processing, merchant services, and e-commerce solutions |
| ● | DMint: A pure-play Bitcoin mining company positioned to capitalize on the expanding digital asset economy |
This dual-ownership structure is designed to maximize shareholder value by allowing each business to pursue its distinct growth trajectory with dedicated management, focused capital allocation, and clear market positioning.
How the Distribution Works
Each OLB shareholder of record as of the expected record date will receive DMint shares on a pro rata basis, as will be described in DMint’s Form S-1 (333-282740). No action is required—DMint shares will be delivered directly to your existing brokerage account through the Depository Trust Company system.
In parallel with the spin-off, DMint will conduct a public offering under Form S-1 (333-292762). Following the offering, OLB shareholders will receive, in the aggregate, the remaining DMint shares proportionally based on their OLB holdings. This structure ensures existing shareholders participate in DMint’s equity at its established public market valuation.
Why This Transaction Creates Value
For OLB shareholders, this spin-off unlocks embedded value that may not be fully reflected in today’s share price:
| OLB (Post Spin-Off) | DMint |
| Transaction-driven, recurring fee revenue | Direct exposure to cryptocurrency upside |
| Predictable fintech operating model | State-of-the-art mining facility in Selmer, Tennessee |
| Serving the growing digital payments ecosystem | Scalable infrastructure for Bitcoin mining |
| Lower volatility profile | High-growth potential tied to digital asset markets |
By separating these fundamentally different businesses, investors can evaluate and value each company on its own merits—potentially attracting new investor bases for both entities and improving overall market recognition.
Strategic Use of Proceeds
DMint expects to deploy net proceeds from its public offering to:
| ● | Acquire additional next-generation mining equipment |
| ● | Expand power and hosting capacity |
| ● | Scale operations at its Selmer, Tennessee facility and related sites |
| ● | Strengthen working capital for accelerated growth |
Continued Leadership Commitment
OLB’s current leadership team will continue to oversee operations after the spin-off, providing continuity for the core fintech segment. DMint will function as an independent entity, concentrating on bitcoin mining and optimizing its organizational framework to enhance mining efficiency and maximize shareholder value.
