Rhea-AI Summary

LQWD (OTCQX:LQWDF) completed a 60-day Lightning Network yield test ending October 9, 2025, scaling deployed Bitcoin to 47.1 BTC and generating a weighted annualized yield (APR) of 8.9%.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 9, 2025) - LQWD Technologies Corp. (TSXV: LQWD) (OTCQX: LQWDF) ("LQWD" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of a 60-day Lightning Network yield test. Over the testing period, LQWD scaled the amount of Bitcoin deployed across its global infrastructure to more than 47.1 BTC, generating an 8.9% weighted annualized yield (APR) in line with the Company's expectations.

This 60-day program builds on LQWD's previously reported 24-day test and marks a significant step forward in validating the Company's Lightning yield strategy. The weighted APR of 8.9% reflects the time and capital adjusted performance of deployed Bitcoin, highlighting how effectively each Bitcoin, measured in satoshis, generated yield over the test period.

"We've increased the amount of Bitcoin deployed with our new yield approach and continue to see strong performance from the network," said Shone Anstey, CEO of LQWD. "Our strategy is working, and each phase of testing shows that as we put more Bitcoin to work the yield opportunity scales with it. These results highlight the real-world utility of the Lightning Network and the value of actively monetizing our treasury."

The testing was conducted within a focused environment of LQWD's broader global Lightning Network infrastructure, which manages additional Bitcoin across multiple nodes. Results from this 60-day test reinforce the scalability potential of LQWD's Lightning yield strategy as the Company continues to deploy additional Bitcoin and advance its goal of generating active yield from its treasury while supporting broader Lightning Network adoption.

LQWD will continue to keep shareholders informed of developments from its Lightning Network yield strategy.
