Carbon Streaming CEO Marin Katusa Boosts Stake in Carbon Offset Firm
Carbon Streaming Corporation (OTCQB: OFSTF), a company focused on generating carbon credits from projects with environmental and community benefits, has seen its Chief Executive Officer, Marin Katusa, significantly increase his holdings. On December 18, 2025, Katusa executed a series of transactions that expanded his ownership and control over the company’s shares.
The transactions involved the acquisition of 1,184,000 common shares on the open market at a price of $0.62 per share, amounting to a total investment of $734,080. In addition, Katusa exercised 390,000 warrants at $0.625 each, costing $243,750. The combined outlay for these actions reached $977,830.
Prior to these transactions, Katusa held approximately 8.6% of the company’s outstanding shares, representing 4,178,500 shares, alongside 1,170,000 warrants. Following the acquisition and warrant exercise, his direct ownership surged to 5,752,500 common shares, representing roughly 11.8% of the issued and outstanding stock.
A key consideration for investors is the potential for future dilution. If Katusa were to exercise his remaining 780,000 warrants, his total shareholding would rise to 6,532,500 shares. This would increase his stake to approximately 13.2% on a partially diluted basis. This move places a substantial portion of the company’s equity directly under the control of its CEO, a factor that can influence governance and strategic decision-making.
These transactions were conducted for investment purposes, and Katusa has indicated a willingness to acquire additional securities or engage in further transactions depending on market conditions. This disclosure was made in accordance with National Instrument 62-103, which governs early warning reporting in Canada, ensuring transparency for investors regarding significant insider stake increases.
The company’s strategy hinges on developing projects that not only reduce or remove carbon emissions but also contribute positively to local communities and biodiversity. This dual-pronged approach aims to create value beyond simple carbon sequestration, tapping into a growing market demand for high-quality, impactful offsets. However, the inherent volatility of the carbon credit market, coupled with evolving regulatory landscapes and potential competition, presents ongoing challenges.
Carbon Streaming’s business model relies heavily on the accurate valuation and verification of carbon credits, a process that can be complex and subject to external factors such as climate events affecting project viability and shifts in corporate or governmental policies towards climate initiatives. The company’s ability to navigate these complexities, alongside managing operational expenses and potential litigation, will be critical to its sustained growth and value proposition. The increased insider ownership by Katusa, while signaling confidence, also concentrates decision-making power, a dynamic that market participants will monitor closely.
The company’s primary listing is on Cboe Canada (NETZ), with secondary listings in the US (OTCQB: OFSTF) and Germany (FSE: M2Q).
