PIONEER AI FOUNDRY ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC BTC TREASURY OPTIMIZATION UTILIZING KORA AI AUTOMATION

Pioneer AI Foundry Inc. has implemented a strategic digital asset treasury optimization plan leveraging its proprietary Kora artificial-intelligence automation trading platform.

Kora AI

The company will begin dynamically converting a portion of its Solana (SOL) holdings, including accrued staking rewards, into bitcoin (BTC), with the goal of enhancing long-term value preservation and operational yield. This approach aligns Pioneer's conviction in SOL as a leading decentralized compute growth layer, and BTC's role as a core long-term digital reserve.

The deployment of the Kora AI beta in Pioneer's internal treasury operations marks a significant step in the company's road map, introducing AI-managed automation to the management of reserve assets. The initiative enables the company to earn SOL staking yield while maintaining a BTC reserve allocation under programmable, risk-aware parameters, effectively transforming passive reserves into an intelligent capital system.

Darcy Taylor, chief executive officer of Pioneer AI Foundry, commented: "We believe Solana will continue as a leading blockchain ecosystem for decentralized and AI-native infrastructure. Kora AI allows us to operationalize that thesis while capturing bitcoin's store-of-value attributes. This treasury optimization strategy reflects our commitment to capital efficiency, automation and platform-led performance within our own technology stack."

Key elements of the strategy

• Kora AI as automation engine: Kora AI will provide AI automation to the company's treasury optimization process, incorporating defined thresholds, execution logic into BTC treasury layer.

• Digital asset allocation plan: As the date of release, Pioneer directly holds 2,094 SOL and 0.269 BTC. The company will systematically convert SOL staking rewards and a percentage of principal holdings into BTC under defined risk thresholds.

The deployment of Kora AI beta within the company's own internal treasury operations is an important milestone on further developing Kora for broader enterprise use, aligning with the company's intention of commercializing Kora through potential licensing arrangements, white label opportunities or subscription arrangements. This reflects the company's broader strategy to align digital asset holdings with core platform capabilities, enabling both operational yield and long-term value positioning within a unified public structure.
