Nearly 10,000 $TAO Tokens Accumulated Using Fresh Capital and Fully Staked into High-Yield Bittensor Network

Weekly Buys Underway and Treasury Yield Metrics to Be Unveiled in Q2 — Aggressive Long-Term AI Bet in Motion

Oblong, Inc. (Nasdaq: OBLG, “Oblong” or the “Company”) accelerates High-Yield AI Treasury Strategy With $1.65M TAO Acquisition; Nearly 10,000 Tokens Fully Staked Into Bittensor Network. This brings the Company’s total $TAO holdings to 9,963 tokens at an average price of $331 per token, following its initial purchase announced on July 1, 2025. The move reinforces Oblong’s ongoing shift toward decentralized AI, as outlined in its June 6, 2025, announcement, and underscores its commitment to innovative, high-growth assets for investors while adopting a long-term investment strategy in $TAO and the Bittensor ecosystem.

The additional $TAO investment builds on Oblong’s focus on Bittensor’s decentralized AI protocol, which fosters global collaboration in machine learning. By staking all 9,963 tokens in the Bittensor network, the Company continues to actively support the ecosystem while enhancing its treasury’s performance. “Oblong’s recent $TAO acquisition propels our progressive treasury strategy forward while intensifying our involvement in the Bittensor network, given that $TAO’s groundbreaking AI methodology provides attractive access to a fast-evolving industry. This reflects our intent to pursue a long-term investment horizon in $TAO and Bittensor, positioning Oblong to capitalize on the transformative potential of decentralized AI over the coming years,” said Peter Holst, CEO of Oblong.

This is the second in a series of planned investments in the Bittensor ecosystem, with Oblong continuing 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 earnings results and at upcoming investor conferences.
