Four years ago, a single conversation changed everything. I was catching up with my friend Dean Sutton, swapping stories about the different ventures we were building. I asked him:. “What do you think would happen if we dropped everything and focused all our energy on just one

Yes we hold TAO and will continue to accumulate - no we are not just a treasury company.

looking forward to chatting with @tradertvneal & @tradertvshawn tomorrow at market open about @xtaohq - its been awhile!.

and we're live! XTAO.U 🫡.

RT @TheBlock__: Bittensor-focused firm xTAO to list common shares on TSXV; raises $22.8 million from DCG, Animoca Brands .

👀.

(10/10) Very excited for this milestone - it brings us one step closer to realizing the vision - but it truly is just the beginning. 🚀.

(9/10) I wouldn’t usually dive into this so much, but given the recent wave of crypto treasury companies and the wide range of capital structures that come with them, it's important to cover. There are also some very opaque and confusing structures, which is why I think.

(8/10) We raised ~$23M USD from crypto VCs and angels who are long TAO. Having raised a lot of capital before, I know the importance of having investors who are aligned with your vision. We raised all of this capital non-brokered (which means no broker fees or broker warrants).

(7/10) We also have an incredible group of advisors:.@shibshib89 (co-founder of Bittensor and @CrucibleLabs),.@JosephJacks_ (founder @OSSCapital and @latentholdings ).@dlawee (co-founder of @CrucibleLabs, founder of @CapitalG).@BKoutsouras (lead independent director @galaxyhq).

(6/10) @kenjonmiyachi and I have experience building on Bittensor and have spent time getting to know many of the amazing people in the ecosystem. Yes, xTAO holds a lot of TAO and has a TAO treasury. That is our foundation - but we will be running a validator and exploring other.

(5/10) With @xtaohq, we have all three.

(4/10) We started building xTAO in November of last year. We wanted to build something that was first and foremost high integrity and sustainable, that would become THE institutional product for TAO, and would help bring Bittensor to the masses. To me, that requires three.

(3/10) A big reason for that, was because the deeper I got into the Bittensor ecosystem, the more clear it was to me that TAO needs an accessible entry point. Incredible talent and growth on the network, but not currently accessible or understandable for the average person. I’m.

(2/10) We started mining initially and eventually decided to build @BitMindLabs, a subnet focused on deepfake detection. Building BitMind with Ken and @_dubm and the team has been an amazing experience, but I couldn’t get this idea of a Bittensor public company out of my head.

(1/10) A couple of years ago, @kenjonmiyachi introduced me to Bittensor. After a few weeks I was TAO pilled, and it became clear to me that Bittensor was a once in a lifetime ecosystem and asset, and would be my next focus after @WonderFi.

Tomorrow @xtaohq goes public. Here’s a thread on why we launched xTAO and how it’s built different. 🧵.

RT @brodydotai: great investigation into taox and oblong. from the surface, it doesn't look like these companies are the "microstrategies….

RT @cz_binance: You can have a great idea, but ideas aren't worth much. Execution is king, but it's a lot of work. Or, you can:. Just hold.

Great to talk with @MilkRoadDaily @JayHamilton0 about crypto and @xtaohq's vision for bringing Bittensor’s critically important AI tech to the masses.

RT @JosephJacks_: Bitcoin treasury companies are fundamentally different from Bittensor treasury companies for the following reasons:. Bitc….
