The relationship between Intellistake and PowerBank is centered on the transformation of traditional energy systems into a tokenized product. At the moment, Intellistake and PowerBank are conducting an analysis of the regulatory framework required for tokenization. Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: ISTK) (OTC: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) – “Intellistake” or the “Company” – presents an announcement on a transaction with PowerBank Corporation (“PowerBank”) that pertains to the intersection of tokenized finance, digital assets, and energy. PowerBank (Nasdaq: SUUN) (previously SolarBank) is a leader in renewable energy infrastructure, and Intellistake is a technology business that bridges conventional financial markets with decentralized artificial intelligence and blockchain infrastructure. These two high-growth enterprises will work together to pursue three significant objectives, which are as follows: A Digital Asset Treasury Program: Using Bitcoin as a long-term treasury reserve asset, both PowerBank and Intellistake intend to accumulate and hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Intellistake also intends to accumulate digital assets that support decentralized artificial intelligence, such as FET Token, which is in line with the move toward decentralized financial reserves that is occurring all over the world. Treasury Management of Bitcoin: Intellistake will assist in the management of digital asset operations for Intellistake and will function as the Company’s supporting partner for the security, custody, and treasury management of Bitcoin. This is all part of the partnership framework. The Tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA): Intellistake and PowerBank are now conducting an analysis to see whether or not it would be possible to tokenize PowerBank’s clean energy assets or shares. This would provide an alternate strategy for investment and financing. Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake stated: “Tokenization is no longer a concept—it’s an inevitability. By combining our expertise in capital markets and digital asset custody with PowerBank’s scalable, real-world energy platform, we’re unlocking a new opportunity..” The relationship between Intellistake and PowerBank is centered on the transformation of traditional energy systems into a tokenized product. This is in response to the growing acceptance of tokenized securities and decentralized asset strategies by institutions and sovereign funds. The market capitalization of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) is expected to reach $30 trillion by the year 2034, according to a research that was recently published by CryptoSlate. This growth is expected to be driven by developments in blockchain technology and artificial intelligence, as well as the desire from investors for transparent, real-time asset ownership and settlement. Richard Lu, CEO of PowerBank stated: “This partnership is about more than collaboration—it’s about setting the pace for a shift in how companies manage capital and assets. As the world accelerates toward AI, automation, and clean energy, Bitcoin and tokenization are presenting new opportunities. PowerBank and Intellistake are here to take part in that transformation, to bridge traditional energy infrastructure with the demand of the digital economy.” At the moment, Intellistake and PowerBank are conducting an analysis of the regulatory framework required for tokenization. On the condition that any tokenization is carried out in accordance with the relevant laws, regulatory regulations, and the conditions of any underlying agreements related with PowerBank assets, the tokenization will be considered successful. The precise form of such tokenization, the assets that would be susceptible to tokenization, and the timescale that would be connected with it have not yet been decided. When significant changes pertaining to this tokenization technique take place, Intellistake and PowerBank will offer further information on such developments. Intellistake has only recently finished moving through the process of changing its business transaction, and it is now in the beginning stages of its development. It has not yet begun validator and staking activities, nor has it purchased any digital assets. Neither function has been started. Additionally, AI technology solutions have not yet been developed by the company. With the completion of the change of business, it will now begin the execution of the business plan that was stated in the Listing Statement that was filed with the Canadian Securities Exchange and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The Listing Statement was dated June 30, 2025. As is the case with any investment, it is essential to keep in mind that there are risks involved. These risks include the fact that digital assets continue to be a class of assets that are still in the process of being developed by the government, that there has been significant volatility in digital assets, and that their value can rapidly decrease, that the historical performance of digital assets is not indicative of their future performance, and that the demand for digital assets around the world may not continue to increase due to global financial conditions and other factors. The fact that Intellistake is a start-up means that it does not have the same access to finance as other firms that are bigger and more established. For more information on the dangers that are connected to the operations of the Company, kindly see the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information” as well as the Listing Statement. Under the allocation method, management will be responsible for determining the exact timing of Bitcoin purchases as well as the value of those transactions. Purchases will also be contingent on a number of other variables, such as the overall market and business circumstances, the current trading price of Bitcoin, and the projected cash requirements of Intellistake or PowerBank, amongst other things. At any point in time and for any reason, the allocation plan may be subject to suspension, discontinuation, or modification. As of the time that this news release was issued, there have been no transactions with Bitcoin.
