Largest publicly traded TAO pure-play treasurycompany

TAO treasury strategy anchored at intersectionof decentralized AI and cryptocurrencies

NEW YORK, August 6, 2025 – TAO Synergies Inc. (Nasdaq: TAOX) (the “Company”), a digital asset treasury company focused on Bittensor (TAO), the premier crypto token for decentralized artificial intelligence (DeAI), today announced that, as of August 5^th^, 2025, it has accumulated 42,111 Bittensor (TAO) tokens to date as part of its differentiated digital asset treasury strategy.

“Our TAO-focused crypto strategy is anchored at the intersection of decentralized AI and blockchain,” stated TAO Synergies’ Executive Chairman Joshua Silverman. “In only two months, TAO Synergies has secured its position as the world’s largest publicly traded digital asset treasury company with a pure-play focus on the Bittensor network and its DeAI protocol. While we continue to accumulate TAO regularly, we are also actively staking on the Bittensor (TAO) network.”

“Think of the Internet before 1993. Every corporation bought their own networking software. ‘IP’—as in Internet Protocol—was decentralized networking. And it took over the world,” said James Altucher, digital asset treasury strategist for TAO Synergies. “We are confident that decentralized AI/Bittensor will do the same, not only for AI but for many industries.”
