Oblong Bolsters Decentralized AI Strategy with Bittensor ($TAO) Purchase and Staking
$1.65M deployed into $TAO from new capital raised in June 2025
5,025 tokens acquired and fully staked into the Bittensor ecosystem
Denver, CO – July 1, 2025 – Oblong, Inc. (Nasdaq: OBLG, “Oblong” or the “Company”), today announced it has strengthened its decentralized AI treasury strategy by acquiring 5,025 $TAO tokens for $1.65 million, using proceeds from its recent $7.5 million financing. This follows the Company’s June 6, 2025, announcement to pivot toward decentralized AI, with the purchase of $TAO at an average price of $328.38 per token reinforcing its commitment to innovative, high-growth assets for investors.
The $TAO investment underscores Oblong’s focus on Bittensor’s decentralized AI protocol, which fosters global collaboration in machine learning. By staking all 5,025 tokens in the Bittensor network, the Company is actively supporting the ecosystem while enhancing its treasury’s performance. “Oblong’s initial $TAO purchase fulfills its commitment to a forward-thinking reserve while exploring Bittensor ecosystem partnerships, as $TAO’s innovative AI approach offers compelling exposure to a rapidly growing sector,” said Peter Holst, CEO of Oblong.
This is the first of several planned investments in the Bittensor ecosystem, with Oblong evaluating 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 earnings results and at upcoming investor conferences.
