Potential candidates for the merger
MintGreen
• Location: Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada (near Vancouver).
• Founded: 2017.
• Description: Cleantech startup combining Bitcoin mining with heat recovery via “Digital Boilers.” They repurpose >96% of mining heat for sustainable community heating (e.g., buildings or greenhouses), focusing on clean energy. This is high-tech digital-asset development: innovative blockchain integration for sustainable mining.
• Funding/Status: Private (seed round in 2021 from investors including CoinShares; no public listing). Estimated valuation: $10-30M USD (based on cleantech trends).
• Recent 2025 Activities: Scaling partnerships with municipalities and utilities for district heating; collaborations for green mining. Aligns with ZMRK’s pivot to emerging tech – a deal could offer synergy with Canadian energy connections.
• Why a Fit?: Sustainable BTC mining with tech development; small and local, ideal for a reverse merger.
• Trends in 2025: The Canadian BTC sector is growing with a focus on sustainability (hydro-energy, heat recovery) driven by regulations and ETF adoption. Private startups like these often seek partnerships for scaling, particularly with microcaps like ZMRK for OTC access.
• Likelihood: MintGreen stands out due to its high-tech innovation (heat recovery) and proximity to Ontario. Others are more hardware/operational but all small enough for a $5-50M deal.
Private Ontario-Based Bitcoin Mining/Digital Asset Companies (Potential ZMRK Targets)
1. Megawatt Mining Corporation (Top Candidate – Strong Local Fit)
• Location: Toronto, ON (facility minutes from Toronto Pearson International Airport, ~20 km from Mississauga, ~35 km from Pickering).
• Founded: April 2020.
• Description: Private company focused on Bitcoin mining with a 40,000 sq.ft. state-of-the-art facility powered by 8 MW of green renewable energy (sourced from Niagara Falls). They use next-generation ASIC miners, achieving a hash rate of 95 PH/s (0.095 EH/s), with plans to expand to 11 MW. The facility is designed for 24/7 crypto mining with advanced cooling (1M+ cfm exhaust). High-tech focus: optimized infrastructure for efficient BTC mining.
• Funding/Status: Private, no public listing. Likely bootstrapped or seed-funded (no public funding data). Estimated valuation: $10-30M USD, based on small-scale mining operations (comparable to recent $4M-$15M asset deals in 2025).
• Proximity: Extremely close to ZMRK’s addresses (20-35 km, 25-40 min drive in the GTA). Toronto Pearson is in Mississauga, making this a local synergy jackpot.
After reviewing several companies, I estimate that the upcoming merger with ZMRK will likely be valued between $20 and $50 million USD.

Cromwell Coulson and OTC Markets Group
Cromwell Coulson has been president and CEO of OTC Markets Group since 1997, overseeing the OTCQX, OTCQB, and Pink markets for ~10,000 securities with an annual trading volume of ~$445 billion. He transformed OTC Markets from a private quotation publisher to a publicly traded company, emphasizing transparency and capital formation. A graduate of Southern Methodist University and Harvard’s OPM program, Coulson is an influential voice in finance. He co-chairs the STANY Market Structure Committee and chaired FINRA’s Market Regulation Committee (2017-2018), shaping regulation and trading standards.
Connections with Frank La Salla (DTCC)
Coulson’s ties to Frank La Salla, DTCC’s president and CEO since 2022, stem from their shared influence in financial infrastructure. DTCC, processing $3 trillion in transactions annually, is a key player in clearing and settlement, while OTC Markets facilitates trading of microcap stocks like ZMRK. Though no direct collaboration is documented, their goals align in modernizing markets and enhancing transparency:
• Common Themes: Coulson advocates for better disclosures and efficient markets (e.g., via the OTCID market, replacing Pink Current in July 2025). La Salla drives DTCC’s initiatives like T+1 settlement and the Digital Launchpad for blockchain and tokenized securities, improving market structures.
• Regulatory Collaboration: Both engage with FINRA and the SEC on regulations like Rule 15c2-11, requiring transparency for OTC stocks. Coulson’s FINRA chairmanship and La Salla’s regulatory focus suggest indirect collaboration through industry platforms.
ZMRK, DTC, and OTCID
Zalemark Holding Company (ZMRK), an OTC Pink stock, reports under the Alternative Reporting Standard and filed a Management Certification on April 18, 2025, to comply with Rule 15c2-11. ZMRK is not a shell company, has no convertible debt, and reports that “DTC Fast” (possibly linked to DTCC) holds 269,576,026 shares (16.74% of 1.61 billion outstanding shares). An InvestorsHub post claims Frank La Salla, DTCC’s CEO, represents these shares,
• DTC’s Role: The Depository Trust Company (DTC), a DTCC subsidiary under La Salla, holds shares in custody for brokers and investors. The 269 million shares “Held at DTC” likely indicate DTC manages them for others, not that La Salla or DTCC owns them. This is standard for street-name securities.
https://www.otcmarkets.com/file/company/financial-report/459819/content
• OTCID Transition: In July 2025, OTCID replaces the Pink Current market, requiring minimum information standards and management certifications. ZMRK’s recent filing positions it to remain OTCID-compliant, enabling trading. Coulson’s OTC Markets drives this transition for transparency, while DTCC’s custody services (under La Salla) support shares
I EXPECT A MERGER AND TOKENIZATION OF $ZMRK ! DOUBLE CATALYST!
Frank La Salla, DTCC’s president and CEO, has spoken multiple times in 2025 about DTCC’s initiatives and priorities:
1. Treasury Clearing: Preparing for successful treasury clearing conversion.
2. Modernization: Updating data centers and technology for resilience, meeting market and regulatory expectations.
3. Technology and Innovation: Increasing use of cloud tech, third-party collaborations, and leading the industry in DLT (blockchain) and tokenized securities.
4. Digital Assets: Launching the Digital Launchpad, a sandbox for experimenting with blockchain and tokenized securities.
5. Client Engagement: Implementing a new client interaction model to improve communication and position DTCC as a strategic partner.

DTC FAST as an investor holding 269,576,026 shares with Frank La Salla identified as the control person. the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), and its subsidiary DTC FAST.
Understanding DTC FAST and Its Role
DTC FAST refers to a mechanism or entity associated with the Depository Trust Company (DTC), which is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC). The DTC, established in 1973, is a central securities depository that facilitates the electronic transfer and settlement of securities trades in the U.S. and over 170 other countries. It is responsible for holding securities in custody, processing book-entry changes to ownership, and settling trades, which reduces costs and increases efficiency in the financial markets
• FAST Program: The term “FAST” the Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) program, which is a system managed by the DTC. This program allows issuers, security holders, and brokerage/clearing firms to transfer stock electronically without the need for physical certificates. Transfer agents, as limited participants, can apply for FAST participation, and the DTC approves issuers on a merit basis. In the context of $ZMRK, the shares being held by “DTC FAST” suggests that these shares are part of the FAST program, meaning they are held in electronic form for efficient transfer and settlement.
• DTC as a Custodian: The DTC itself does not own the shares it holds; instead, it acts as a custodian through its nominee, Cede & Company, which is the registered holder of the securities. This means that the 269,576,026 shares attributed to DTC FAST are likely held in the name of Cede & Company on behalf of the actual beneficial owners (e.g., institutional investors, broker-dealers, or other participants in the DTC system)
Frank La Salla’s Role
Frank La Salla is listed as the control person for DTC FAST in the $ZMRK shareholder table. He is the President and CEO of the DTCC, a position he has held since 2022 .La Salla’s role as the control person indicates that he oversees the operations of DTC FAST as part of his broader responsibilities at the DTCC, not that he personally owns the shares.
• Not Personal Ownership: The clarification that the shares are owned by DTC FAST, not Frank La Salla personally! As the control person, La Salla represents the DTCC/DTC in its custodial role, but the shares are held by DTC FAST on behalf of its participants (e.g., banks, broker-dealers, or institutional investors). This distinction is important because it highlights that the DTCC, through DTC FAST, is acting as an intermediary, not as a direct investor with its own capital.
• Why This Matters: The involvement of a DTCC subsidiary like DTC FAST suggests that $ZMRK is integrated into the broader U.S. financial market infrastructure, making its shares eligible for electronic trading and settlement through the DTC system. This can enhance liquidity and attract institutional investors, as the DTC’s infrastructure reduces risks and costs associated with securities transactions .
Implications for $ZMRK
The presence of DTC FAST as a major shareholder (16.7367%) has several implications for $ZMRK:
1. Institutional Interest:
• The significant stake held by DTC FAST indicates that institutional investors, who use the DTC for custody and settlement, have a substantial interest in $ZMRK. The DTC typically serves large banks, broker-dealers, and institutional investors, meaning that the 269,576,026 shares are likely held on behalf of such entities
2. Market Perception:
• The DTCC’s involvement, even as a custodian, can be seen as a vote of confidence in $ZMRK. The DTCC is a critical player in the global financial system, processing trillions of dollars in securities transactions annually (e.g., $2.5 quadrillion in 2022) and holding custody of securities worth $87.1 trillion Its participation in $ZMRK may signal to the market that the company is a legitimate player, potentially attracting more investors.
3. Liquidity and Trading Efficiency:
• By having its shares held in the DTC FAST system, $ZMRK benefits from the DTC’s infrastructure, which facilitates electronic transfers and settlements. This makes it easier for investors to buy and sell shares, potentially increasing trading volume and liquidity
Potential Connecties of DTC FAST in $ZMRK
Since DTC FAST is a subsidiary of the DTCC, its connections are tied to the broader network of financial institutions that participate in the DTCC system:
• DTCC Participants: The DTCC is owned by its participants, which include major banks, broker-dealers, and financial institutions like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), one of its largest shareholders.These participants could be the beneficial owners of the $ZMRK shares held by DTC FAST, though their identities are not disclosed in the shareholder table.
• Frank La Salla’s Network: As President and CEO of the DTCC, La Salla has connections to the global financial industry, including relationships with regulators (e.g., the SEC, Federal Reserve), clearing firms, and institutional investors. His involvement in $ZMRK, even in a custodial capacity, could indirectly connect $ZMRK to these networks
• Other $ZMRK Investors: DTC FAST’s shares may represent the interests of other investors in $ZMRK, such as Wendu Pauleen Wu, Jun Gao, Jimin Sun, or Chang Li, who are also shareholders. While there’s no direct evidence of collaboration, these investors could be part of the same institutional networks that use the DTC for custody and settlement.
The note about DTC FAST owning the shares, not Frank La Salla personally, clarifies that the DTCC, through its subsidiary DTC, is acting as a custodian for $ZMRK shares within the FAST program. This arrangement facilitates electronic trading and settlement, benefiting $ZMRK by increasing liquidity and attracting institutional investors. Frank La Salla, as President of the DTCC, oversees this custodial role but does not personally own the shares. The involvement of DTC FAST connects $ZMRK to the broader financial market infrastructure, including major banks, broker-dealers, and institutions that participate in the DTCC system.
