VANCOUVER, BC , Sept. 9, 2025 /CNW/ - Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: ISTK) (OTCQB: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) ("Intellistake" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has appointed Mr. Gregory Cowles, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer to its Board of Directors effective immediately.

Mr. Cowles is recognized as one of the leading strategists at the intersection of digital currencies and decentralized artificial intelligence (AI). Since first engaging with Bitcoin in 2013, he has spent more than a decade helping to shape the growth of blockchain ecosystems, guiding successful token launches, and working alongside AI and digital asset teams with client portfolios valued at up to $2.5 billion.

Before co-founding Intellistake, Cowles built a reputation for driving viral growth and market adoption for some of the most high-profile names in emerging technology. His work with Hanson Robotics' Sophia the Robot, one of the world's most recognizable AI icons, and campaigns spanning leading DeFi protocols and decentralized AI networks the ASI Alliance — the largest and leading global AI collaboration —  have positioned him as a marketing architect trusted to turn complex technologies into mainstream stories.

"Gregory's appointment to the Board is where he belongs," said Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake. "As well as being a co-founder Gregory has consistently proven himself as a leading strategist who sees around corners. His expertise and leadership will continue to be invaluable and paramount for Intellistake, as we advance to our next stages of growth and beyond"

What sets Gregory apart isn't just his track record with small-cap mining operations or his success executing marketing initiatives. It's his genuine belief that complex technology should be accessible to everyone, not just institutional investors, hedge funds, and early-stage venture capital firms.

Over the past four years, Gregory has specialized in the intricate world of DeFi strategies and digital currency launches. As importantly, he has built lasting partnerships with leading decentralized AI ecosystems—relationships that form the backbone of Intellistake's strategic approach.

"The combination of traditional finance expertise and digital asset innovation isn't just our competitive advantage," explains Cowles. "It's our responsibility to investors who deserve access to these opportunities without needing a computer science degree or a cryptowallet."

As Intellistake continues to democratize access to the intersection of AI and blockchain technology, Gregory's formal role on the Board ensures that the company's strategic direction remains grounded in both market realities and technological possibilities.

In connection with Mr. Cowles appointed to the Board of Directors, Mr. Olen Aasen has resigned as a director of the Company. Mr. Aasen will continue in his role as legal counsel to the Company. The Board of Directors wishes to thank Mr. Aasen for his contributions during his tenure as a director and looks forward to his continuing support and advice in his role as legal counsel.
