• Safety Shot acquires 10% revenue share in BONK.fun launchpad • BONK.fun is a decentralized platform on Solana blockchain for meme coins • Members of BONK founding core group join Safety Shot's board • Safety Shot reserves "BNKK" ticker symbol with Nasdaq • $25 million in BONK tokens exchanged for preferred stock transaction

Nasdaq-listed Safety Shot (SHOT) has taken a strategic step by acquiring a 10% revenue share in BONK.fun, one of the largest memecoin launchpads on the Solana blockchain. The deal involves a $25 million exchange of BONK tokens for preferred stock, aligning Safety Shot directly with the platform's growth. This move signifies a significant pivot for Safety Shot, which has traditionally operated in the beverage industry.

BONK.fun is a decentralized platform that allows users to create and launch meme coins without coding expertise. The platform has seen remarkable growth since its launch in April 2025, becoming a dominant player in the Solana ecosystem. In July 2025 alone, BONK.fun generated over $35 million in user fees, placing it among the top 10 most profitable decentralized applications globally [1].

The acquisition includes the appointment of members of BONK's founding core group to 50% of Safety Shot's board seats. This alignment indicates a complete realignment of Safety Shot's business model, moving away from traditional staking strategies. Instead, Safety Shot will benefit directly from the revenue stream generated by BONK.fun, with approximately 90% of its revenue reinvested into a treasury of BONK tokens. This creates a flywheel effect that could drive the value of both the platform and Safety Shot's treasury holdings [1].

Safety Shot has also reserved the "BNKK" ticker symbol with Nasdaq, further solidifying its commitment to this strategic pivot. The company's CEO, Jarrett Boon, stated, "Today’s announcements represent the next logical step in our corporate evolution. We are confident this model will unlock significant long-term value for our shareholders" [1].

The integration of BONK.fun's revenue with Safety Shot is a pioneering step in merging digital assets and traditional finance. Unlike many crypto ventures that focus on staking yields, this model ties shareholders directly to the revenue stream of an operational platform. This could provide Safety Shot with a more powerful and exciting proposition than simply holding tokens and hoping they go up [1].

The platform's activity is immense, with peak days facilitating the launch of over 20,000 new tokens in a single 24-hour period and daily trading volumes exceeding $100 million. This acquisition gives Safety Shot exposure to the explosive growth in the meme coin creation space, which is akin to a modern-day gold rush [1].

Dominari Securities, LLC. is serving as the exclusive financial advisor to Safety Shot in connection with the transaction. Safety Shot's beverage division continues to hold the patented Safety Shot beverage and Yerbaé’s plant-based, energy beverage.
