SONICSTRATEGY SIGNS LOI TO ACQUIRE AI INFRASTRUCTURE ASSETS FROM ARKLAB AI

Sonicstrategy Inc. has signed a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) to acquire certain AI (artificial intelligence) infrastructure assets from ARKLAB AI, including proprietary software and intellectual property designed to orchestrate distributed GPU (graphics processing unit) compute across decentralized networks.

The proposed acquisition represents a strategic expansion of Sonicstrategy's digital infrastructure business beyond blockchain validator operations into decentralized AI compute.

The technology developed by ARKLAB AI enables AI workloads to be intelligently distributed across decentralized GPU resources, co-ordinating compute capacity contributed by individual users, enterprises and edge infrastructure. The platform has previously powered a decentralized deployment of the DeepSeek large language model, and includes additional proprietary intellectual property focused on distributed AI compute, orchestration and infrastructure management.

Following completion of the proposed acquisition, Sonicstrategy intends to deploy its own GPU infrastructure while leveraging the acquired platform to aggregate compute capacity from third party GPU providers and edge networks. By combining Sonicstrategy-owned GPU infrastructure with aggregated third party compute, the company intends to build a scalable decentralized AI compute platform supporting AI developers, enterprises and decentralized AI applications.

As part of the proposed transaction, the founder of ARKLAB AI is expected to join Sonicstrategy to lead the continued development of the platform and help execute the company's decentralized AI infrastructure strategy, ensuring continuity of technical leadership and accelerating product development.

"Artificial intelligence is a natural extension of our blockchain infrastructure business," said Dustin Zinger, chief executive officer of Sonicstrategy. "Operating blockchain validator infrastructure has given us deep experience managing decentralized networks, distributed systems and mission-critical infrastructure. The technology developed by ARKLAB AI provides a proven software foundation for our expansion into decentralized AI compute. By combining this platform with our planned GPU deployments and aggregated third party compute, we believe SonicStrategy is well positioned to become a leading provider of decentralized AI infrastructure."

Fedor Shabashev, founder of ARKLAB AI, added: "We built this platform to unlock the full potential of decentralized AI by making distributed GPU resources easier to discover, co-ordinate and utilize at scale. We believe Sonicstrategy is the ideal home for the technology given its expertise operating decentralized infrastructure. I'm excited to continue developing the platform and help build the next generation of decentralized AI compute."

Sonicstrategy believes artificial intelligence is a natural extension of its blockchain infrastructure business, as both rely on secure, distributed and highly available compute. The company believes the convergence of blockchain, distributed computing and artificial intelligence represents a significant long-term opportunity to build, own and operate the decentralized digital infrastructure powering the next generation of blockchain and AI networks.

The proposed transaction remains subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, completion of due diligence, receipt of any required regulatory and third party approvals, and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be entered into or that the proposed transaction will be completed as currently contemplated or at all.
