Strategic initial $8M $TAO position staked through top validator to support the ecosystem and compound returns.

Oblong becomes a high-leverage public proxy for Bittensor’s AI ecosystem and AI commodity market.

Driving yield, scale, and upside across crypto’s most explosive decentralized AI networks.

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Oblong (Nasdaq: OBLG), leading the charge in innovative treasury strategies, today announces it has now invested $8 million in Bittensor ($TAO), fully staked with a trusted main validator. This bold move underscores Oblong’s unwavering belief in decentralized and distributed AI as a game-changer, enabling global innovators to build open-source intelligence without centralized gatekeepers.

In Bittensor, staking means putting $TAO to work to support the network’s operations and reward top AI innovators, much like how Ethereum investors stake tokens to secure the blockchain and earn profits. Unlike Ethereum, Bittensor’s staking directly fuels a global AI marketplace, driving breakthroughs in every AI silo from serverless compute, multi-modal AI to advanced text prompting and reasoning akin to a “decentralized ChatGPT.� By staking its entire $TAO position, Oblong reinvests in this ecosystem, strengthening innovation and aligning with its vision of a decentralized AI future.

“Oܰ $8 million $TAO investment, fully staked for strong returns, shows our commitment to a decentralized AI revolution,� said Pete Holst, CEO of Oblong. “Oܰ goal is to build wealth for investors while advancing a global AI community.�

Oblong will continue to evaluate additional $TAO purchases on a weekly basis. The Company is also exploring partnerships within the Bittensor ecosystem to potentially develop technology offerings, further aligning its operational and treasury strategies. Transparent updates on treasury performance, including staking yields and token holdings, will be provided in Oblong’s Q2 2025 financial results and at upcoming investor conferences.
