Summary I rate Bitfarms as a hold, highlighting its upcoming share buyback and strategic US expansion as key growth drivers. Despite 32.8% YoY revenue growth, BITF's significant net losses and rising costs, especially from Argentina, weigh on near-term profitability. The Stronghold acquisition and US energy pipeline are expected to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency into 2026. BITF trades at a fair valuation with potential upside, but execution of the buyback and asset growth are crucial for future performance. I have watched the evolution of cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin mining, which has evolved from a small-scale venture to an energy-intensive operation conducted on an industrial scale. Over the last five years, Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) has increased by 967.82%. Back in 2022, I wrote about MicroStrategy ( MSTR ) as a solid tracker of BTC, and it is up 703.95% (since then). Earlier on, I had focused on CleanSpark ( CLSK ) and its expanded mining activities, including sustainable mining, and the stock has since gained 19.09% (from 2021). In this article, I will explain why I am rating Bitfarms Ltd. ( BITF ) as a hold in light of the company’s buyback plan and its renewed focus on the US as a strategic location for growth. However, I will consider the growth in net losses ahead of Q2 2025 earnings that may hamper the stock’s rally into 2026, if it persists. Bitfarms’ Strategic Realignments Into 2026 Bitfarms, a Canadian operator of data centers and a Bitcoin miner, is set to purchase 10% of its public float (of 499 million shares) in a share buyback plan beginning on July 28, 2025, and continuing through July 27, 2026. This 1-year program will see BITF retire about 49,943,031 common shares. As of July 29, 2025, BITF had a market capitalization of $710.32 million and an outstanding share balance of 557,548,857. At the current price of $1.24 (per share), BITF is likely to spend $62 million in the buyback plan. This change is likely to increase the share price past $1.30, and an increase in the market cap, as it will be seen in this article. The acquisition of Stronghold by BITF in Q1 2025 also set the stage for the company’s expanded opportunities in the US (to about 80% of its North America energy portfolio, against 20% - international), which will prove pivotal in the future. It is all about the vertical integration and control of its power with the US exposure. In essence, a Bitcoin miner’s proximity to ample sustainable energy (in this AI race) is critical for revenue growth and cost optimization. Then again, the reduced rewards for blocks after BTC halving in 2024 also warrant BITF's growth into high-performance computing (HPC) and AI to create long-term value for shareholders. Q1 2025 saw BITF record a 32.8% (YoY) revenue growth to $66.8 million against a net loss of $35.9 million vs. a net loss of $6 million in Q1 2024. Costs of revenues in Q1 2025 rose to an all-time quarterly high of $67.4 million. This increase is partly attributed to the acquisition of Stronghold Digital and asset write-down in Argentina. Revenues in Argentina declined 40% (YoY) to $6.955 million in Q1 2025 from $11.576 million in Q1 2024. The company also explained in its Q1 2025 management analysis that the supply of electricity to its Argentine facility in Rio Cuarto had been halted, affecting the intended long-term contract of up to 210 MW. In regard to operational efficiency, about half of the company's revenue ($37.3 million) was proceeds from the sale of 428 BTC (from the total 693 BTC earned in the quarter) at an average price of $87,000. Seeking Alpha Currently, BTC is selling at $118,140, indicating an increase of about 36% (from the last sale by BITF), slightly shy of its all-time high of +$120,000. Despite the high net losses, BITF has developed its culture of paying for its expenses using operating revenues that have been growing into 2026. Looking forward, BITF now has the energy infrastructure to reach the intended upside exposure coupled with rising BTC prices. By Q2 2025, BITF has about 1,166 BTC recorded in its balance sheet, and it has an opportunity to invest a significant amount of capital into its HPC and AI. Further, about 37.7% of its cost of revenues, or about $25.408 million, was attributed to energy expenses, which will be significantly reduced with the acquisition of Stronghold and the US expansion that is set to give a growth energy pipeline of nearly 1.1 GW in the US state of Pennsylvania (in the long run). As of May 2025, the total contracted energy capacity in BITF’s 15 BTC data centers (spread between North and South America) stood at 908 MW. Thus, the operationalization of the Stronghold energy pipeline will help to lower BITF’s costs into 2026 and improve the company’s profitability. Valuation I will use the net asset value per share metric to evaluate BITF since the company has a steady asset cover against liabilities. BITF has high net losses that undermine profitability, thereby making the price-to-earnings ratio ineffective. BITF’s net losses have increased 500% (YoY) in Q1 2025, while the adjusted EBITDA dropped 35% (YoY) to $15.1 million, down from $23.32 million in Q1 2024. I believe net asset value per share will provide a stable valuation, and I will then use this metric to determine the future price of the company. As of Q1 2025, BITF’s asset balance stood at $777.003 million against liabilities valued at $112.294 million. Total equity into Q2 2025 is $664.709. It is noteworthy that BITF is expected to reduce its outstanding share balance by 10%, meaning that the outstanding share balance in 2026 (from the buyback plan discussed earlier) will be 507,605,826 shares. We will get the future price of $1.31 by dividing the total equity of $664.709 million by the expected outstanding share balance. This calculation shows that BITF's future price will be trading at a fair valuation of +5.65% (YoY). We have to keep in mind that the growth in BITF’s US activities will increase the asset balance by 2026, thereby leading to a subsequent increase in the total equity. Asset Liabilities Net asset value (total equity) Outstanding share balance Future share price Current share price Valuation difference BITF $777.003 million $112.294 million $$664.709 million 507.606 million $1.31 $1.24 +5.65% (trading at fair valuation) Rezolve AI PLC ( RZLV ) $19.8 million $57.8 million -$38 million 243.7 million shares $0.16 $2.75 -94.2% (greatly overvalued) Cognyte Software Ltd. ( CGNT ) $491.5 million $275.7 million $215.8 million 72.9 million $2.96 $9.12 -67.54% (greatly overvalued) CLSK $2.657 billion $766.5 million $1.891 billion 280.9 million shares $6.73 $11.73 -42.63% (overvalued) MSTR $43.92 billion $10.394 billion $33.526 billion 273.4 million $122.63 $394.66 -68.93% (overvalued) As seen in this net asset valuation analysis, only BITF is trading at a fair valuation with a potential upside into 2026. RZLV has a negative equity balance, meaning that it is insolvent (as far as its liabilities are concerned). MSTR and CLSK have a strong balance sheet as far as their asset values to liabilities are concerned. However, these companies have recorded significant dilution or an increase in the number of outstanding shares, that have led to lower forecasts. For instance, MSTR realized a 54.11% (YoY) growth in its outstanding share balance from 177.4 million shares as of March 2024 to 273.4 million by March 2025. CLSK realized a 23.26% (YoY) growth in its outstanding share balance in 2025, which has negatively impacted this forecast into 2026 despite the company's robust asset balance. Risk I have factored in the buyback plan announced by BITF in my valuation. Failure to actualize this share repurchase program will adversely affect BITF’s share performance, as elucidated in this article. I also expect the company to grow its asset cover into 2026 as it advances its US activities by stabilizing its energy infrastructure. Bottom-Line I have rated Bitfarms Holdings as a hold in this analysis with a focus on its buyback plan and continued expansion into the US. However, the company realized significant net losses into Q2 2025 that have dampened profitability. Still, my analysis shows the company is trading at a fair valuation with a potential upside into 2026. I will be looking forward to the release of its Q2 2025 earnings in August 2025 for the update.
BitcoinWorld USD Outlook: Bank of America’s Bold Bearish Forecast Unveiled The global financial landscape is a complex tapestry, with the US Dollar often acting as its central thread. For those deeply entrenched in the world of cryptocurrencies, understanding the nuances of traditional finance, especially the movements of the mighty greenback, is not just beneficial but crucial. A weakening US Dollar can often signal shifts in global liquidity, risk appetite, and commodity prices, all of which invariably impact the crypto market. Recently, a significant pronouncement from Bank of America has sent ripples through the market: their outlook on the USD outlook is decidedly bearish, citing “limited positioning constraints.” But what does this really mean for your portfolio, and why is this insight from one of the world’s leading financial institutions so critical right now? Decoding the USD Outlook : Why Bank of America Sees Red Bank of America’s assessment of the US Dollar’s trajectory is far from optimistic. When they speak of a “bearish USD view,” it’s not merely a casual observation; it’s a meticulously calculated forecast based on a confluence of economic indicators, monetary policy expectations, and market sentiment. The phrase “limited positioning constraints” is particularly telling. In simple terms, it suggests that there aren’t significant opposing bets or market positions that would typically prevent the dollar from falling further. Imagine a seesaw: if there are very few people on the “buy USD” side, there’s little to stop the “sell USD” side from pushing it down even more. This lack of counter-balancing positions implies a relatively clear path for continued dollar depreciation. Several factors contribute to this gloomy USD outlook from Bank of America: Monetary Policy Divergence: Central banks globally are at different stages of their monetary policy cycles. While the Federal Reserve might be perceived as nearing the end of its tightening cycle or even contemplating cuts, other central banks could still be tightening or maintaining higher rates, making their currencies more attractive. Inflation Trends: Persistent inflation in the US, if not adequately addressed by the Fed, could erode the purchasing power of the dollar, leading to a weaker currency. Conversely, if inflation cools faster than expected, it might give the Fed reason to ease, also weighing on the dollar. Economic Growth Differentials: If economic growth outside the US starts to outpace American growth, it naturally draws investment away from dollar-denominated assets, leading to dollar weakness. Geopolitical Stability and Risk Appetite: In times of global uncertainty, the USD often acts as a safe-haven asset. However, if global risks subside or other safe havens emerge, the demand for the dollar might diminish. Understanding these underlying currents is vital, as they paint a picture of an environment ripe for a weaker dollar, with fewer structural barriers to prevent its decline. Navigating the Bearish USD Landscape: Key Drivers The factors pushing for a bearish USD are multifaceted, extending beyond just interest rate differentials. Let’s delve deeper into the primary drivers that could fuel this depreciation: Federal Reserve Policy Shifts: The market’s perception of the Federal Reserve’s future interest rate decisions is paramount. If the Fed signals a pause in rate hikes, or even hints at future cuts, the carry advantage of holding USD diminishes, making other currencies more appealing. This “dovish pivot” expectation is a powerful catalyst for dollar weakness. Persistent US Fiscal Deficits: Large and growing government deficits can be a long-term drag on a currency. When a government consistently spends more than it earns, it often leads to increased debt issuance, which can devalue the existing currency supply. Global Economic Rebalancing: As other major economies, particularly in Europe and Asia, recover and strengthen, their currencies naturally gain appeal. This rebalancing of global economic power reduces the relative attractiveness of the US Dollar as the primary investment destination. Commodity Price Dynamics: A weaker dollar often makes dollar-denominated commodities (like oil and gold) cheaper for international buyers, potentially boosting their demand and prices. This creates a feedback loop where higher commodity prices can contribute to inflation, which in turn might influence central bank policy and further weaken the dollar. Diminished Safe-Haven Appeal: While the USD has historically been the ultimate safe haven, persistent inflation or concerns about US fiscal health could erode this status over time. Investors might seek alternative safe havens, including other major currencies or even digital assets, if confidence in the dollar wanes. These drivers suggest that the current bearish USD sentiment is not a fleeting trend but potentially a structural shift influenced by deep economic and policy considerations. Investors need to be aware of these forces to position themselves effectively. Impact on the Global Forex Market : What to Expect A significant shift in the forex market , particularly a weakening US Dollar, has profound implications across the board. The dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency means its movements reverberate through international trade, investment flows, and commodity pricing. Here’s what to expect: Currency Pair Dynamics When the USD weakens, other major currencies typically strengthen against it. This includes the Euro (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY), British Pound (GBP), and commodity-linked currencies like the Australian Dollar (AUD) and Canadian Dollar (CAD). Consider the following hypothetical shifts in major currency pairs if the USD continues its bearish trend: Currency Pair Typical Impact of Bearish USD Reasoning EUR/USD Likely to rise A weaker USD means more dollars are needed to buy one Euro. Stronger Eurozone recovery could also support EUR. USD/JPY Likely to fall A weaker USD means fewer Yen are needed to buy one Dollar. JPY often benefits from safe-haven flows or widening interest rate differentials. GBP/USD Likely to rise Similar to EUR/USD, a weaker USD makes the Pound relatively stronger. UK economic data and BoE policy will also play a role. AUD/USD Likely to rise AUD is a commodity currency. A weaker USD can boost commodity prices, which supports the AUD. Broader Market Implications Commodity Prices: Many global commodities, including oil, gold, and industrial metals, are priced in USD. A weaker dollar makes these commodities cheaper for holders of other currencies, potentially boosting demand and prices. This can be inflationary for economies that import these commodities. Emerging Markets (EM): A weaker USD is generally positive for emerging markets. Many EM countries have significant dollar-denominated debt. A falling dollar makes this debt cheaper to service, reducing their financial burden and potentially boosting their economic growth prospects. It also encourages capital flows into EM assets. Corporate Earnings: For US-based multinational corporations, a weaker dollar can boost their earnings when repatriating profits from overseas operations. Foreign sales, when converted back to a weaker dollar, will appear larger. Inflationary Pressures: While a weaker dollar can make imports more expensive for the US, potentially contributing to domestic inflation, the global impact is more nuanced. For other countries, it might alleviate import costs if their currencies strengthen against the dollar. The forex market is a dynamic ecosystem, and the USD’s performance is a critical barometer for global economic health and investment sentiment. Staying attuned to these shifts is paramount for investors. Understanding Currency Positioning : Why It Matters Now When Bank of America highlights “limited positioning constraints” for their bearish USD view, they are referring to the collective bets that large institutional players, such as hedge funds, asset managers, and other banks, have placed on the US Dollar. This concept, known as currency positioning , is crucial because it indicates the market’s current bias and potential for future movement. What is Currency Positioning? Currency positioning refers to the net long or short positions held by market participants in a particular currency. A “long” position means they expect the currency to appreciate, while a “short” position means they expect it to depreciate. These positions are often tracked through data like the Commitments of Traders (COT) report, which shows the aggregate holdings of various market participants in futures markets. Why “Limited Constraints” Are Significant If the market is already heavily “short” the USD (meaning many participants have bet on its decline), then much of the potential downside might already be priced in. In such a scenario, the dollar’s ability to fall further might be constrained because there are fewer new sellers to drive it down, and a risk of a “short squeeze” (where shorts are forced to cover, driving prices up) increases. However, Bank of America’s view of “limited positioning constraints” implies the opposite: Room to Fall Further: It suggests that the market is not yet overwhelmingly short the USD, or at least not to an extent that would prevent further depreciation. This means there’s still ample room for new short positions to be initiated, pushing the dollar lower. Lack of Counter-Pressure: There isn’t a strong opposing force of “long” positions waiting to absorb selling pressure. This makes the dollar more vulnerable to negative news or economic data. Sentiment Confirmation: It validates the bearish sentiment. If major players haven’t yet fully committed to a bearish stance, it means the trend could accelerate as they do. This insight into currency positioning provides a deeper understanding of market mechanics. It’s not just about what should happen based on fundamentals, but what can happen based on how the market is already structured. For the USD, it points to a scenario where the path of least resistance is downwards, as there are fewer obstacles in the form of entrenched long positions. Beyond the Headlines: What Bank of America USD Analysis Implies The Bank of America USD analysis isn’t just a forecast; it’s a strategic signal for investors and businesses operating in the global economy. Understanding its deeper implications can help in making informed decisions. Actionable Insights for Investors Diversification: A weakening USD encourages diversification away from dollar-denominated assets. This could mean increasing exposure to international equities, emerging market bonds, or even alternative assets like gold and certain cryptocurrencies that tend to perform well during periods of dollar weakness. Commodity Exposure: Consider increasing exposure to commodities, especially those priced in USD. As the dollar falls, these commodities become cheaper for international buyers, potentially driving up their prices. Foreign Exchange Hedging: For businesses with significant international operations or revenues in foreign currencies, a weakening dollar could necessitate reviewing or implementing hedging strategies to protect against adverse currency movements. Long Non-USD Currencies: Actively consider long positions in major non-USD currencies, such as the Euro, British Pound, or even certain Asian currencies, particularly if their respective central banks maintain a more hawkish stance or their economies show robust growth. Challenges and Counterarguments While Bank of America’s view is compelling, it’s essential to consider potential counterarguments or factors that could challenge this bearish outlook: Unexpected US Economic Strength: If the US economy shows surprising resilience or outperforms global peers, it could attract capital flows back into the dollar, defying the bearish forecast. Global Risk Aversion: Any sudden surge in global geopolitical tensions or financial market instability could trigger a flight to safety, where the USD traditionally benefits as a safe-haven asset, even if its long-term fundamentals are questioned. Fed Policy Reversal: Should inflation prove more stubborn, or if the Fed is forced to maintain higher rates for longer than currently anticipated, the dollar could find renewed strength. Market Positioning Reversal: While current positioning may be “limited,” a sudden shift in market sentiment or a short squeeze could quickly reverse the dollar’s trajectory. Examples from History History offers numerous instances where the dollar has undergone significant periods of weakness. For example, during certain periods of quantitative easing (QE) by the Federal Reserve, the dollar weakened as the supply of money increased. Similarly, when other major economies experienced stronger growth or higher interest rates, capital flowed out of the US, leading to dollar depreciation. The Bank of America USD analysis taps into these historical patterns, suggesting that the current confluence of factors aligns with a similar trajectory. Ultimately, while the bearish USD view from Bank of America offers a powerful narrative, successful navigation requires continuous monitoring of economic data, central bank communications, and geopolitical developments. It’s about being prepared for the prevailing trend while remaining agile enough to react to unforeseen shifts. Compelling Summary: Riding the Waves of Dollar Dynamics Bank of America’s explicit bearish stance on the US Dollar, underpinned by observations of “limited positioning constraints,” serves as a crucial signal for global markets. This isn’t merely a prediction but an analysis suggesting that the path of least resistance for the greenback is downwards, with fewer structural impediments to its decline. The confluence of monetary policy divergence, inflation dynamics, global economic rebalancing, and specific currency positioning indicates a potentially significant shift in the dollar’s trajectory. For investors, this translates into actionable insights: consider diversifying away from dollar-heavy portfolios, exploring commodity exposure, and re-evaluating foreign exchange hedging strategies. While challenges and counterarguments exist, the prevailing sentiment from a major financial institution like Bank of America provides a compelling framework for understanding the evolving forex market . As the world navigates these complex economic currents, a keen eye on the dollar’s fate will be paramount for strategic financial planning and investment success.

The presale won’t last forever—so if you’re interested, now might be the time to take a closer look. Join XYZVerse, the Next Moonshot Opportunity Bitcoin (BTC) Source: TradingView Bitcoin spent the week drifting, sliding about 1.55 % and sitting in a narrow band between 116040 and 121488. That mild dip hides a firmer trend: the coin is still up around 9 % for the month and nearly 13 % over six months, showing buyers have not stepped aside for long. Short-term signals look mixed. The 10-day moving average rests just under 118000 while the 100-day line is a touch higher, so price is pressing on both. The strength index sits near 52, a neutral spot, yet the stochastic reading above 80 hints at a market that could be getting tired. A negative MACD level backs the idea of slower momentum in the immediate run. For the next move, 112681 is the nearby floor; slipping through it could open a slide toward 107232, roughly a 9 % drop from the mid-range price. On the upside, a push past 123578 would clear room toward 129026, about a 7 % jump. Given the steadier gains over one and six months, odds still lean to a grind higher, but the coin needs a clean break over 123578 to reignite the rally. Ethereum (ETH) Source: TradingView Ethereum now bounces between 3631 and 4001 after a weekly rise of 1.94%. The gain looks small next to the breathtaking 52.72% leap logged over the last month, and the 17.57% lift seen across six months. Momentum cooled this week, but bulls still have the larger trend on their side. The 10-day and 100-day averages sit almost on top of each other near 3800, a sign of balance. RSI at 54.84 stays neutral, yet a high stochastic at 85.57 suggests the market may be running hot. MACD is flat. A push above 4001 is needed to attack the first barrier at 4127; slipping under 3631 could drag price to the next floor at 3387. If bulls seize momentum, a move to 4127 would add roughly 5% from the mid-range, and stretching to 4497 would hand out nearly 15%. Bears want the opposite story. A slide to 3387 subtracts about 10%, and a deeper dip to 3017 would erase close to 20%. The coming sessions will show which side wins. Conclusion BTC and ETH remain solid amid inflows, yet XYZ, the first all-sport memecoin, targets 20,000% gains through community-driven sports GameFi, offering early adopters the next cultural icon.

XRP price needs to beat its January record monthly close above $3.03 for a renewed push toward new all-time highs.
Highlights of the Partnership: Digital Currency Treasury Program: PowerBank will accumulate Bitcoin and Intellistake will accumulate digital currencies that support decentralized AI. . Bitcoin Treasury Management: Intellistake will help manage digital asset operations for PowerBank and serve as PowerBank's supporting partner for security, custody, and treasury management. Tokenized Energy Assets: Potential for First-of-their-kind tokens backed by RWA including solar and storage infrastructure. VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA July 31, 2025 – POWERBANK CORPORATION (NASDAQ: SUUN; Cboe CA: SUNN, FSE: 103) (“PowerBank” or the "Company") – announces a transaction with Intellistake Technologies Corp. (“Intellistake”) that involves the intersection of digital assets, energy, and tokenized finance. Intellistake (CSE: ISTK) is a technology company bridging traditional capital markets with decentralized AI and blockchain infrastructure, and PowerBank (formerly SolarBank), is a leader in clean energy infrastructure. Together, these two high-growth companies will pursue three seminal initiatives: A Digital Asset Treasury Program: Leveraging Bitcoin as a long-term treasury reserve asset, PowerBank, with Intellistake’s support, intends to accumulate and hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet and Intellistake intends to accumulate digital assets that support decentralized AI, such as FET Token — aligning with the global shift toward decentralized financial reserves. Bitcoin Treasury Management: Under the partnership framework, Intellistake will help manage digital asset operations for PowerBank and serve as PowerBank's supporting partner for security, custody, and treasury management of Bitcoin. The Tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA): Intellistake and PowerBank are evaluating the potential tokenization of PowerBank’s clean energy assets or shares — providing an investment and financing alternative. “Tokenization is no longer a concept—it’s an inevitability,” said Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake. “By combining our expertise in capital markets and digital asset custody with PowerBank’s scalable, real-world energy platform, we’re unlocking a new opportunity..” As institutions and sovereign funds increasingly embrace tokenized securities and decentralized asset strategies, the Intellistake–PowerBank partnership centres on transforming legacy energy systems into a tokenized product. According to a recent report by CryptoSlate, analysts forecast that the market cap for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) could reach $30 trillion by 2034(1)—driven by advances in blockchain, AI, and investor demand for transparent, real-time asset ownership and settlement. “This partnership is about more than collaboration—it’s about setting the pace for a shift in how companies manage capital and assets,” said Dr. Richard Lu, CEO of PowerBank. “As the world accelerates toward AI, automation, and clean energy, Bitcoin and tokenization are presenting new opportunities. PowerBank and Intellistake are here to take part in that transformation, to bridge traditional energy infrastructure with the demand of the digital economy.” Intellistake and PowerBank are presently evaluating the regulatory framework for tokenization. Any tokenization will be subject to it being completed in compliance with applicable law, regulatory requirements and terms of any underlying agreements associated with PowerBank assets. The actual structure of such tokenization, the assets that would be subject to tokenization, and the associated timeline, have not yet been determined. Intellistake and PowerBank will provide further updates as material developments related to this tokenization strategy occur. The actual timing and value of Bitcoin purchases, under the allocation strategy will be determined by management. Purchases will also depend on several factors, including, among others, general market and business conditions, the trading price of Bitcoin and the anticipated cash needs of Intellistake or PowerBank. The allocation strategy may be suspended, discontinued or modified at any time for any reason.

Highlights of the Partnership: Digital Currency Treasury Program: PowerBank will accumulate Bitcoin and Intellistake will accumulate digital currencies that support decentralized AI. . Bitcoin Treasury Management: Intellistake will help manage digital asset operations for PowerBank and serve as PowerBank's supporting partner for security, custody, and treasury management. Tokenized Energy Assets: Potential for First-of-their-kind tokens backed by RWA including solar and storage infrastructure. VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA July 31, 2025 – POWERBANK CORPORATION (NASDAQ: SUUN; Cboe CA: SUNN, FSE: 103) (“PowerBank” or the "Company") – announces a transaction with Intellistake Technologies Corp. (“Intellistake”) that involves the intersection of digital assets, energy, and tokenized finance. Intellistake (CSE: ISTK) is a technology company bridging traditional capital markets with decentralized AI and blockchain infrastructure, and PowerBank (formerly SolarBank), is a leader in clean energy infrastructure. Together, these two high-growth companies will pursue three seminal initiatives: A Digital Asset Treasury Program: Leveraging Bitcoin as a long-term treasury reserve asset, PowerBank, with Intellistake’s support, intends to accumulate and hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet and Intellistake intends to accumulate digital assets that support decentralized AI, such as FET Token — aligning with the global shift toward decentralized financial reserves. Bitcoin Treasury Management: Under the partnership framework, Intellistake will help manage digital asset operations for PowerBank and serve as PowerBank's supporting partner for security, custody, and treasury management of Bitcoin. The Tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA): Intellistake and PowerBank are evaluating the potential tokenization of PowerBank’s clean energy assets or shares — providing an investment and financing alternative. “Tokenization is no longer a concept—it’s an inevitability,” said Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake. “By combining our expertise in capital markets and digital asset custody with PowerBank’s scalable, real-world energy platform, we’re unlocking a new opportunity..” As institutions and sovereign funds increasingly embrace tokenized securities and decentralized asset strategies, the Intellistake–PowerBank partnership centres on transforming legacy energy systems into a tokenized product. According to a recent report by CryptoSlate, analysts forecast that the market cap for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) could reach $30 trillion by 2034(1)—driven by advances in blockchain, AI, and investor demand for transparent, real-time asset ownership and settlement. “This partnership is about more than collaboration—it’s about setting the pace for a shift in how companies manage capital and assets,” said Dr. Richard Lu, CEO of PowerBank. “As the world accelerates toward AI, automation, and clean energy, Bitcoin and tokenization are presenting new opportunities. PowerBank and Intellistake are here to take part in that transformation, to bridge traditional energy infrastructure with the demand of the digital economy.” Intellistake and PowerBank are presently evaluating the regulatory framework for tokenization. Any tokenization will be subject to it being completed in compliance with applicable law, regulatory requirements and terms of any underlying agreements associated with PowerBank assets. The actual structure of such tokenization, the assets that would be subject to tokenization, and the associated timeline, have not yet been determined. Intellistake and PowerBank will provide further updates as material developments related to this tokenization strategy occur. The actual timing and value of Bitcoin purchases, under the allocation strategy will be determined by management. Purchases will also depend on several factors, including, among others, general market and business conditions, the trading price of Bitcoin and the anticipated cash needs of Intellistake or PowerBank. The allocation strategy may be suspended, discontinued or modified at any time for any reason. Intellistake will support PowerBank’s establishment of custody for its digital currency purchases and PowerBank no longer intends to utilize Coinbase for this service. As of the date of this press release, no Bitcoin purchases have been made.
