xTAO Inc. today provided an update on the scale of its current TAO holdings and validator performance.

As of March 26, 2026, xTAO holds a total of 61,135 TAO, reinforcing the company's position as one of the leading publicly traded holders of the native token of the Bittensor network, based on publicly available information. The company maintains substantial cash reserves, which position it to continue to acquire TAO and expand its presence in the Bittensor ecosystem.

xTAO's validator continues to be one of the leading validators on the Bittensor network. The company's current annualized yield has increased to 7.2 per cent, up from 6.59 per cent as last reported in January, 2026, according to data from the Tao Yield website. This improvement reflects the company's continuing commitment to delivering strong validation performance for its delegators and the broader network.

xTAO's treasury will continue to play a central role in both expanding its own validator operations and building out infrastructure for growing the broader Bittensor ecosystem. The company is actively staking its TAO holdings to the Bittensor root network. Staking yield is subject to fluctuations in token price, validator performance and various network dynamics. xTAO's validator continues to be one of the top performing validators on the Bittensor network.
