Oblong Reports Q2 2025 Results and Expands $8M TAO Treasury to Power Decentralized AI

21,613 TAO Tokens Now Staked to Generate Revenue and Strengthen Oblong’s Role in Bittensor’s AI Ecosystem

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Oblong, Inc. (Nasdaq: OBLG) (“Oblong” or the “Company”), a digital asset treasury company, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 (“Q2 2025”) and significant progress in its treasury strategy centered on Bittensor’s TAO token.

With artificial intelligence projected to reach a $1.2 trillion market by 2030, Oblong is pioneering a treasury strategy that leverages TAO to drive financial returns and decentralized AI innovation. Bittensor’s network, powered by over 500 active nodes, incentivizes collaborative AI development, positioning TAO as a critical asset for forward-thinking companies.

“Oblong’s $8.0 million investment in 21,613 TAO tokens, all staked in the Bittensor network, generates revenue while strengthening our role in the decentralized AI ecosystem,” said Pete Holst, CEO of Oblong. “Our strategy positions us at the forefront of AI-driven finance, delivering value through strategic treasury management.”

Q2 2025 Financial and Strategic Highlights

• Strong Financial Position: As of June 30, 2025, Oblong held $10.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, $1.7 million in TAO holdings, and zero debt.
• TAO Treasury Expansion: Invested $1.7 million in Q2 2025 to acquire 5,025 TAO tokens, followed by $6.35 million post-Q2 to purchase 16,506 additional tokens, totaling 21,613 tokens, all staked to generate revenue and support Bittensor’s decentralized AI network.
• Capital Raising: Secured $6.9 million from a private placement and $1.3 million from common warrant exercises in Q2 2025, with an additional $0.9 million from warrant exercises post-Q2.
• Revenue and Loss: Generated $0.6 million in revenue, consistent with Q2 2024, with a net loss of $0.6 million, improved from $1.0 million in Q2 2024. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $0.7 million, improved from $1.0 million in Q2 2024 (see “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below).
