According to recent company communications, Autris describes itself as a pioneering, forward-thinking organization dedicated to promoting freedom and self-sustainability. It pursues this vision through the acquisition, design, development, and construction of freedom and self-sustainability oriented communities throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

The company emphasizes a philosophy it calls F.I.R.S.T., which stands for Freedom, Independence, Resiliency, Self-Sustainability and Transparency. This philosophy underpins the development of its intentional residential communities, branded as Veritas Villages. These communities are aimed at people who want to live in environments that reflect a freedom-oriented lifestyle, with a focus on self-sufficiency and reduced reliance on governments, large corporations, or other outside forces for their freedoms, food, water, and lifestyle.

Business focus and community development

Autris states that it advances its goals through strategic acquisitions and community development projects. Through the acquisition of EcoVillage Design, S.A. and Veritas Village Holdings Panama, S.A., Autris reports that it has positioned itself around F.I.R.S.T.-oriented intentional residential community development in the Latin American region. These acquired entities are associated with the Veritas Village brand and the EcoVillages F.I.R.S.T. philosophy.

A flagship project highlighted by the company is Veritas Village - Coronado in Panama. The company describes this as a luxury, fully off-grid community with solar powered homes, its own water source, and a range of food production and lifestyle amenities. Autris reports that homesites and homes in this community have been reserved at a rapid pace, and that the Veritas Villages concept is intended to be replicated in additional countries in the region.

F.I.R.S.T. philosophy and target residents

The F.I.R.S.T. philosophy is presented as the core framework for Autris’s communities. The company describes its target residents as freedom-minded people who are looking for an alternative to political divisiveness, censorship, and trends toward authoritarian governments. Veritas Villages are described as places for like-minded individuals who want to live in intentional communities that emphasize freedom and sustainability.

Residents of Veritas Villages are also described as members of the Veritas Village Club, which, according to the company, grants perks and discounts across Veritas Village locations. This membership concept is intended to allow residents and owners to travel to and stay at other Veritas Village destinations with like-minded people.

Digital assets and Bitcoin strategy

Autris has publicly discussed a longstanding digital asset strategy, particularly focused on Bitcoin. The company states that it has adopted and used Bitcoin since the founding of its companies for receiving and making payments and for holding treasury balances. It reports that it welcomes and accepts Bitcoin and certain stablecoins as payment from clients, and that it primarily holds Bitcoin as its digital asset within its treasury.

Within Veritas Villages communities, the company states that all businesses must accept Bitcoin in addition to any other currencies they choose to accept. Autris also notes that its staff and management are educated in digital assets and are encouraged to be compensated in Bitcoin in lieu of, or in combination with, fiat currency.

The company has also described Bitcoin mining activities linked to its communities. It reports designing a community in El Salvador with a Bitcoin mining center powered by solar and exercise equipment, and receiving a high-efficiency Bitcoin miner to be powered entirely from excess solar power capacity at the Veritas Village - Coronado Welcome Center in Panama. According to the company, it aims to use Bitcoin mining earnings, generated from excess off-grid solar power, to help with community homeowner association fees and other community enhancement and maintenance costs.

Freedom-oriented positioning and philosophy

Autris repeatedly characterizes itself as a company committed to promoting freedom and sustainability. Its communications describe a focus on people who want to live in communities that reduce dependence on external authorities and who are concerned about issues such as mandates, lockdowns, political divisiveness, censorship, and cancel culture. The F.I.R.S.T. philosophy is presented as a response to these concerns, with an emphasis on freedom, independence, resiliency, self-sustainability, and transparency in community design and operation.

The company also links its freedom-oriented approach to the use of non-fiat currencies. It states that a currency not controlled by any government is part of living a freedom-oriented lifestyle and operating a freedom-oriented business. Autris describes integrating Bitcoin into its business operations and client dealings from inception, and it has highlighted activities such as hosting groups of Bitcoin investors seeking residence options and concluding home sales in Bitcoin.

Corporate development and structure

Autris trades on the OTC market under the symbol AUTR. Company communications describe a period of dormancy followed by a reactivation of the public company structure to support the Autris Group of companies. The company indicates that it has completed multiple acquisitions to assemble assets and competencies aligned with its community development and F.I.R.S.T. philosophy.

Autris has also announced corporate actions such as an authorized reverse stock split proposal for its common shares, subject to conditions including regulatory approval. The company notes that its board retains discretion regarding the final ratio and whether to proceed, and that there is no assurance the reverse split will be completed.

Bitcoin, property, and blockchain initiatives

Autris has described initiatives that combine real property and blockchain technology. The company states that it pioneered the sale of real property in Latin America with deeds represented as NFTs on the Bitcoin side chain Liquid, and expresses the belief that blockchain-stored property titles may become more common in the future. These activities are presented as part of its broader approach to integrating digital assets and freedom-oriented financial practices into its communities.

In addition, Autris notes that several of its subsidiary companies are incorporated as international companies in Panama and describes this structure as providing tax advantages on foreign earned income. This is presented as part of its approach to protecting and retaining capital within its group of companies.
