Intellistake Completes US$500,000 Investment in Orbit AI and Orbit AI Concludes Following Successful First Orbital Cloud Launch

Executive Summary

• Intellistake Technologies completed its previously announced US$500,000 strategic equity investment in Orbit AI, securing a 1% ownership stake.
• Orbit AI successfully launched its first Orbital Cloud satellite on December 10 2025, marking the initial step toward an in‑orbit AI compute and blockchain‑verified network.
• Intellistake retained an option to invest up to US$1 million (potentially increaseable to US$10 million) in future financing rounds, and is working to place its blockchain‑verification payload on Orbit AI’s next launch scheduled for Q1 2026.

Key Details

• Investment Completion: US$500,000 equity investment finalized; 1% equity position under the Collaboration Framework Agreement signed November 2025.
• Future Investment Option: Right to invest an additional US$1 million at a valuation tied to Orbit AI’s next financing round, with potential increase up to US$10 million pending Orbit AI approval.
• Launch Milestone: First Orbital Cloud satellite launched on 10 Dec 2025; demonstrates in‑orbit AI compute (DeStarAI), decentralized communications (DeStarlink), and blockchain‑verified nodes.
• Payload Plans: Intellistake aims to include its blockchain‑verification payload on Orbit AI’s next mission, targeted for Q1 2026, subject to engineering and regulatory approvals.
• Strategic Rationale: Addresses growing constraints on terrestrial data‑center capacity (power, cooling, land) by moving AI compute to low‑Earth orbit; over 500 global orbital launches in the past two years underscore market momentum.
