The company will hold a 20% equity stake in QuantGold, integrating its cybersecurity, AI GPU, and data infrastructure businesses into the platform.
QuantGold's technology is backed by 120+ encryption patents and is already deployed across 100+ institutions. The platform features encrypted data vaults, GPU-backed compute clusters, and blockchain-verified query logs, targeting an approximate $400 billion market. Operating on a pay-per-compute model, QuantGold allows organizations to monetize sensitive data while maintaining control, particularly in sectors like healthcare, finance, and government where nearly 90% of institutional data remains inaccessible due to privacy constraints.
The new agreement sets pricing for future equity issuances at 102% of the lowest trading price over the preceding five trading days, up from the previous 85%. This represents a substantial premium and improved terms for shareholders.
The company maintains discretionary access to a US$112 million facility, which can be utilized for strategic acquisitions, platform initiatives, or market opportunities.
