VANCOUVER, BC , Oct. 1, 2025 /CNW/ - Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: ISTK) (OTCQB: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) ("Intellistake" or the "Company") today announces that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") dated September 29, 2025 and signed by the Company on September 30, 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 LOI states Intellistake's intention of acquiring 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 potentially enter into a management services agreement with Intellistake. 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:

"SVH operates to institutional standards in a sector that demands credibility and discipline. Their experience in managing significant digital-asset portfolios is exactly the type of expertise that we believe will strengthen Intellistake's foundation. This potential acquisition would give us the structure to expand institutional-grade custody, scale validator infrastructure, and deliver enterprise AI-agent solutions in a way that traditional investors can trust. Working with Mario and his team has been an absolute pleasure. I look forward to many exciting opportunities in this fast moving space."

‍

Mario Casiraghi, Founder of Singularity Venture Hub, said:

"We see real potential in joining forces with Intellistake. SVH brings treasury, incubation, and advisory expertise that has been proven in digital-asset markets. Combined with Intellistake's public-market platform, we can build a powerful bridge between traditional finance and decentralized AI infrastructure. This is about creating access at scale -- and positioning Intellistake at the centre of that shift."

Completion of the Transaction remains subject to completion of satisfactory due diligence, the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement ("Definitive Agreement") that will include representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, termination rights, and other provisions customary for a transaction of this nature, no objection from the Canadian Securities Exchange, and shareholder approval of SVH, if required.
