Intellistake forms partnership with Orbit AI

Executive Summary

• Intellistake Technologies Corp. announced a strategic partnership with Orbit AI to provide blockchain validator and node infrastructure for the Orbital Cloud – an AI‑enabled space‑based computing and communications network.
• The company will make an initial cash investment of $500,000 for a 1 % equity stake in Orbit AI, with an option to invest up to $10 million (initially $1 million) prior to the launch of the second Genesis satellite in 2026.
• Satellite launches are planned for December 2025 (Genesis‑1) and March 2026, with a full constellation rollout targeted for 2028‑2030, positioning Intellistake at the intersection of blockchain, AI, and aerospace infrastructure.

Key Details

• Partnership Scope:
• Intellistake will supply validator and node services that form the blockchain layer enabling real‑time verification and decentralized coordination among Orbit AI’s satellites.

• The Orbital Cloud combines Nvidia‑powered AI computing (DeStarAI), Ethereum‑based blockchain verification, and decentralized communications (DeStarlink) in orbit.

• Financial Commitment:

• Initial investment of $500,000 for a 1 % equity interest in Orbit AI.

• Option to invest an additional $1 million (up to $10 million) for further equity at a valuation to be set during Orbit AI’s next financing round, contingent on agreement and prior to the launch of DeStarlink Genesis‑2 (2026).

• Launch Timeline:

• Genesis‑1 satellite – equipped with an onboard Ethereum wallet and blockchain node – scheduled for December 2025.

• Additional small network of AI‑computing, blockchain‑enabled satellites planned for 2026, with full constellation rollout expected 2028‑2030.

• Market Opportunity:

• Orbital infrastructure market projected to grow from $13.5 bn (2024) to $21.3 bn by 2029.

• In‑orbit data centre market could reach $39.1 bn by 2035; broader satellite market forecast at $615.7 bn by 2032.

• Strategic Rationale:

• Enables secure, autonomous AI processing and blockchain verification directly in space, reducing latency, energy costs, and reliance on terrestrial data centres.
• Positions Intellistake as a pioneer of decentralized infrastructure beyond Earth, leveraging its pending acquisition of Singularity Venture Hub for technical leadership and resources.
