"This growth in our Sonic exposure highlights the strength of our infrastructure and strategy," said Dustin Zinger, CEO of SonicStrategy Inc. "By operating large, enterprise-grade validators, we're not only generating staking rewards for shareholders, but also helping secure and decentralize the Sonic network."

SonicStrategy's validator operations generate daily staking rewards. Based on the 129,686,219 Sonic tokens self-staked, SonicStrategy currently earns approximately 5.69% annually, resulting in 7,379,146 Sonic tokens per year, equivalent to $627,227 USD at today's Sonic price of $0.085 USD. An additional 39,203,705 Sonic has been delegated by third parties, generating 334,606 Sonic tokens annually for the Company. This reflects 15% of the 5.69% rewards, or approximately $28,441 USD at the current price. Based on today's numbers SonicStrategy expects to generate 7,713,752 Sonic tokens per year, representing approximately $655,669 USD in annual staking revenue.

SonicStrategy operates its validator nodes directly, with Sonic Labs providing hosting and infrastructure support at no cost to the Company. As a result, SonicStrategy does not currently incur direct expenses for hardware or data center operations. Sonic Labs and SonicStrategy are independent participants in the Sonic blockchain ecosystem, and there is no binding commercial agreement between the parties.
