VANCOUVER, BC , Dec. 24, 2025 /CNW/ - Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: ISTK) (OTCQB: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) ("Intellistake" or the "Company") today announces that it has entered into a definitive agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") dated December 23, 2025, to acquire Singularity Venture Hub ("SVH"), a digital-asset firm specializing in incubation, treasury management, and web3 advisory ("Transaction").
The Transaction aims to position Intellistake at the crossroads of traditional finance and decentralized AI. SVH manages over US$90 million (unaudited) in assets and oversees advisory services across a token portfolio that reached a valuation of US$250 million* (unaudited) and operates in authorized jurisdictions in reliance of Swiss VASP/CASP licenses for trading and custody operations. With its institutional framework and track record in digital assets, the aim of the Transaction is to have SVH bring the scale, credibility, and expertise to strengthen Intellistake's mission of supporting decentralized AI -- through validator infrastructure, enterprise AI agents, and a strategic token reserve.
SVH's leadership team is equally significant. Founder Mario Casiraghi, Group CFO of the SingularityNET Foundation, has deep roots in both global finance and Web3. Earlier in his career, he executed over US$80 billion in structured transactions at leading investment banks. This rare combination of institutional discipline and decentralized market expertise is exactly why the Company believes SVH is a standout in AI and Web3 ecosystems.
By acquiring SVH, Intellistake seeks to gain an experienced team and an established institutional treasury platform, strengthening its foundation to deliver secure, compliant digital-asset access that traditional investors can trust.
The Definitive Agreement provides for Intellistake to acquire 100% of the outstanding securities of SVH in exchange for approximately C$25 million of Intellistake common shares ("Intellistake Shares"), based on a price of C$1.78 per Intellistake Share representing a total of 14,044,943 Intellistake Shares. The Intellistake Shares will be subject to escrow and contractual trading restrictions to be set out therein as well. Upon closing, Mario Casiraghi would be appointed to the Intellistake Board of Directors and also be appointed as President of the Company. The Transaction is arm's length and no long-term debt is being assumed as part of the Transaction.
The Transaction builds on the companies' existing collaboration, which has already seen SVH establish Intellistake's digital wallets and enable third-party staking and validator node operations to support decentralized AI. It follows the exclusive partnership between the Company and Intellistake announced on July 16, 2025, and Mr. Casiraghi's appointment to the Intellistake Advisory Board on July 23, 2025.
Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake, commented:
"We're thrilled to welcome Mario and the SVH team to Intellistake. This acquisition aims to bring together institutional-grade treasury management, expertise in decentralized AI, and the operational experience that comes from managing digital assets. Mario and his team's track record in both global finance and Web3 is impressive, and SVH's operational foundation is intended to strengthen our validator operations and enterprise AI agent development. We believe this is an important step forward in our mission to bridge traditional finance with the decentralized AI economy."
Mario Casiraghi, Founder of Singularity Venture Hub, said:
"This acquisition is the logical next step in our partnership with Intellistake. SVH brings institutional-grade treasury management, regulatory infrastructure, and deep expertise in digital asset operations - capabilities that are essential as Intellistake scales its position at the intersection of traditional finance and decentralized AI. We've already proven we can work together effectively, and now we're positioned to accelerate that momentum."
Completion of the Transaction remains subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions customary for a transaction of this nature, including no objection from the Canadian Securities Exchange. The parties intend to close the Transaction on or before January [30], 2026, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions in the Definitive Agreement.
