Seeks to optimize returns for shareholders while fostering evolution of Bittensor's decentralized machine intelligence marketplace

NEW YORK, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TAO Synergies Inc. (NASDAQ:TAOX) ("TAO Synergies" or the "Company"), a digital asset treasury company focused on Bittensor (TAO), the premier crypto token for decentralized artificial intelligence (DeAI), today announced an initial $750,000 investment in Yuma Asset Management's Bittensor Subnet Funds, enhancing the Company's exposure to subnets in the Bittensor ecosystem. These positions demonstrate TAO Synergies' commitment to decentralized AI, the Bittensor / TAO crypto token, and subnet tokens that will ultimately drive the success of TAO.

This strategic move builds on TAO Synergies' position as the largest publicly traded holder of Bittensor's native TAO token, with over 60,000 TAO staked as of last week. By layering in subnet exposure through Yuma's professionally managed Bittensor funds, the Company aims to optimize returns for shareholders while fostering the maturation of Bittensor's decentralized machine intelligence marketplace.

"Decentralized AI isn't just the future—it's unfolding right now, and Bittensor is at the epicenter," said James Altucher, Digital Asset Treasury Strategist at TAO Synergies. "We're investing in Yuma's subnet funds because they represent a smart, low-friction way to amplify our TAO holdings with targeted exposure to the ecosystem's real innovators. It's about compounding value across the entire network: staking TAO for base rewards, then layering on subnet alpha to supercharge growth. We believe this positions TAOX shareholders at the vanguard of decentralized AI."

Yuma Asset Management, which secured a $10 million anchor investment from DCG at launch, welcomes TAO Synergies as an investor in its mission to democratize access to Bittensor's high-growth opportunities.

Barry Silbert, Founder and CEO of Yuma and DCG, commented, "TAO Synergies, a trailblazer in public-market exposure to decentralized AI, shares our conviction that Bittensor will reshape the future of technology. Their $750,000 investment validates the opportunity in Bittensor subnets and strengthens our mission to create institutional pathways into this emerging asset class."

The investment allocates $375,000 to the Yuma Subnet Composite Fund and $375,000 to the Yuma Large Cap Subnet Fund, both launched earlier this year by Yuma Asset Management, part of Yuma Holdings, a leading builder on the decentralized artificial intelligence network, Bittensor, and backed by DCG. The Yuma Subnet Composite Fund provides diversified, market-cap weighted exposure across all active subnets in the Bittensor network—mirroring the structure of a Nasdaq Composite index for decentralized AI services such as text generation, image synthesis, and predictive analytics. This fund enables investors to capture broad growth in the ecosystem's 100+ active subnets without the need for individual token selection. Complementing it, the Yuma Large Cap Subnet Fund focuses on the top performing active subnets, akin to a Dow Jones Industrial Average for Bittensor, targeting leaders in areas like AI coding, inference, fraud detection, natural language processing, prediction markets and others.

Yuma Asset Management provides an innovative on-ramp to deAI, enabling institutional allocators and accredited investors to participate in the growth of open-source AI through managed investment strategies for subnet tokens, a new asset class native to Bittensor.
