Brag House Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:TBH) ("Brag House" or the "Company"), the premier Gen Z engagement platform that operates at the intersection of gaming, college sports, and social interaction, today announced an update on its investigation into recent trading activity in its stock. With assistance from its outside advisors, the Company's investigation has identified preliminary data suggesting the Company may have been the subject of illegal naked short selling. Accordingly, today the Company sent letters to the SEC, FINRA, and Nasdaq regarding these preliminary findings and requested they open an immediate investigation into the suspected trading activity.

Naked short sales take time to verify, but preliminary financial indicators cause the Company to believe that abusive naked short selling may have occurred. Naked short selling is illegal and damages stockholder value in a company by artificially pushing its stock price down. Common indicators of abusive naked short selling include unusually high trading volume, high financing rates to borrow stock, and persistent failures to deliver that culminate in significant downward pressure on a company's stock price.
