AI's Power Problem Just Got a Solution—316 Orbits Above Earth

While much of the industry is still outlining plans for how AI infrastructure might extend beyond Earth… Orbit AI is already operating there, running AI workloads on NVIDIA hardware in orbit.
Intellistake's strategic equity investment in Orbit AI positions us with early exposure to what we believe is a foundational shift in AI infrastructure; one that addresses the physical constraints (power, cooling, throughput) that are becoming the limiting factors in AI-era growth.
Orbit AI's first satellite has now completed 21 consecutive operational days, executing workloads, capturing imagery, and successfully downlinking data to ground stations. As of the end of December, it had completed 316 orbits without interruption.
That may sound like a simple status update. It isn't.
In space, uptime is the product. And for Intellistake, this operational milestone validates the investment thesis behind our positioning in space-enabled AI infrastructure.
Why uptime matters more than launch headlines
Launching hardware into orbit is difficult. Keeping it operational is harder.
Once a satellite is deployed, there are no patches, no physical access, and no graceful recovery paths. Power, thermal management, compute, and communications all have to work together continuously under fixed constraints. If any one of those systems degrades, the mission degrades with it.
That's why infrastructure teams don't measure success in days since launch. They measure it in consecutive operational cycles.
Twenty-one days of uninterrupted activity means the satellite's power systems are stable, thermal behavior is predictable, compute workloads are executing as intended, and orbit-to-ground communications are reliable enough to sustain real use. It's the point where a system stops being experimental and starts being repeatable.
This is especially important for AI workloads, which are far less forgiving than basic sensing or relay functions.
What makes Orbit AI different at this stage
Orbit AI is not positioning space as a data storage novelty or a passive relay layer. Genesis-1 was designed to run AI workloads in orbit using NVIDIA AI chips, executing Orbit AI's proprietary Peripheral Large Model directly on the satellite.
That matters because it changes where work happens.
Instead of collecting data in space and pushing everything back to Earth for processing, compute moves to the edge. Bandwidth constraints ease. Latency becomes manageable. Ground infrastructure becomes a complement, not a bottleneck.
As Gus Liu, CEO of Orbit AI, put it:
"Genesis-1 marks a paradigm shift to 'computed space.' By successfully running our proprietary Peripheral Large Model on NVIDIA AI chips in orbit, we invert data gravity — processing workloads at the edge to eliminate bandwidth bottlenecks. We have delivered the world's first decentralized operational AI cloud, and our architecture is now ready to scale."
The important word there is operational.
Lots of concepts sound plausible in space. Very few survive contact with orbital physics long enough to be measured.
Why Intellistake views this as a validation moment
Intellistake's interest in Orbit AI has never been about spectacle. It's about whether decentralized and verifiable systems can function where assumptions are stripped away.
Space is an unforgiving test environment. If telemetry is unreliable, you see it immediately. If coordination fails, it compounds. That's why uptime matters, it's the foundation before everything else.
With Genesis-1 demonstrating sustained operations, the next phase becomes possible: expanded orbit-to-ground workflows, broader ground-station coverage, and future payloads that introduce verification and coordination layers.
What this means for Intellistake
Genesis-1's 21 days of continuous operation proves this isn't theoretical anymore. Systems that hold under orbital conditions are the ones worth building on.
For Intellistake, this milestone opens the next phase: ground-segment expansion, telemetry monitoring, verification architecture, and our intent to pursue a blockchain-verification payload on a future mission.
In infrastructure, if it runs consistently, you can improve it. If it doesn't, nothing else matters.
Twenty-one days on orbit is where early positioning transitions from thesis to operational validation.
Disclaimer
There has been significant volatility in digital assets and their value can decline rapidly, which in turn would lead to a decline in the stock price of companies holding digital assets. Intellistake is a start-up that does not have the same access to capital as other larger more established companies.
Intellistake has just commenced operating its business and is at an early stage of development. Intellistake is entering this space by acquiring and operating blockchain validator hardware that supports AI networks and investing in AI-related digital tokens to primarily operate validator hardware.
Intellistake is reliant on Orbit AI for the financing and technical execution of the planned satellite launches. Intellistake’s involvement is limited to providing the validator and node infrastructure. The amount of any future revenues or benefits that may accrue to Intellistake has not yet been determined.
Intellistake is presently evaluating the regulatory framework for tokenization. Any tokenization will be subject to it being completed in compliance with applicable law, regulatory requirements and terms of any underlying agreements associated with the underlying assets. The actual structure of such tokenization, the assets that would be subject to tokenization, and the associated timeline, have not yet been determined. Intellistake will provide further updates as material developments related to this tokenization strategy occur.
Intellistake is developing custom AI software systems called "AI Agents" for businesses. It recently announced the development of IntelliScope, a newly designed enterprise artificial-intelligence (AI) suite that applies decentralized AI technologies to deliver transparent and verifiable corporate intelligence. IntelliScope, which is in testing, is being publicly introduced as Intellistake's enterprise AI suite, reflecting the Company's focus on advancing practical applications of decentralized AI technologies.
The IntelliScope suite is being developed as a collection of modular AI agents, each intended to address specific enterprise challenges. Development has advanced through internal closed testing, where functionality is being refined and validated. Built to leverage decentralized AI technologies developed within the ASI Alliance FET token ecosystem, IntelliScope is now preparing to move into closed beta testing with an enterprise client, a phase focused on gathering feedback to shape premium features and expand real-world use cases.
The Company intends to deliver these solutions either as one-time projects or ongoing subscription services. Revenue is expected to come from implementation fees and monthly subscription payments. The Company does not presently have any customers. Intellistake is just commencing operations. It is targeting significant growth but its business is subject to several risks related to general business, economic and social uncertainties; the sufficiency of cash to meet liquidity needs; legislative, political and competitive developments; the inherent risks involved in the digital currency and general securities markets; the volatility of digital currency prices and the additional risks identified in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company’s filings with applicable securities regulators. Intellistake has not yet developed or commercialized its AI solutions.
