New York, New York, September 29th, 2025/Chainwire/--DNA Holdings Venture Inc. (“DNA”), a digital asset investment and advisory firm, today announced its role as strategic advisor, consultant, and investor in a landmark $344.4 million capital formation strategy that establishes the foundation for a Strategic Compute Reserve, a first-of-its-kind model designed to democratize access to enterprise-grade artificial intelligence infrastructure. DNA Holdings Venture Inc. DNA Holdings Venture Inc. The transaction represents one of the first times Wall Street capital has been directly aligned with decentralized AI infrastructure, creating a blueprint for how traditional markets can converge with tokenized economies. Anchored in ATH, the utility token of the Aethir decentralized GPU network, the deal creates a pathway for public companies, institutional investors, and consumers to participate in owning a share of the backbone of AI itself. Structure and Mechanics The capital strategy was structured as two concurrent private placements in public equity (“PIPEs”) with an aggregate value of approximately $344.4 million. The financing included both a cash PIPE and a crypto PIPE involving in-kind contributions of ATH tokens. The pre-funded warrants issued in the crypto PIPE will become exercisable immediately following shareholder approval, and both PIPEs are expected to close concurrently on or about October 2, 2025. While the issuer is a Nasdaq-listed company, the transaction’s significance lies in its design: a hybrid capital markets structure that brings digital asset infrastructure directly onto the balance sheet of a public company. DNA’s Role DNA Holdings acted as the strategic advisor and structuring lead for both the traditional and crypto PIPEs. The firm played a central role in conceptualizing the hybrid structure, facilitating alignment across public market investors, digital asset contributors, and ecosystem partners. “Partnering DNA with Aethir on this Digital Asset Treasury deal has been an incredible honor. I’ve always believed in the transformative power of decentralized AI, and Aethir embodies that vision in a way that is both innovative and inspiring. Working with the Aethir team throughout this process has been a privilege, and together we’re not just moving capital, we’re shaping the future of technology and finance. This marks a significant milestone for both DNA and Aethir, and I couldn’t be more optimistic about the waves we’re making in the space of decentralized AI,” said Christopher Miglino, Co- Founder of DNA. “Partnering DNA with Aethir on this Digital Asset Treasury deal has been an incredible honor.

In addition to its advisory function, DNA also participated as a cash investor, further demonstrating conviction in both the issuer and the underlying ATH token strategy. DNA’s model for combining institutional-grade financing mechanisms with token-based infrastructure exposure reflects a broader thesis on how public companies can engage meaningfully in the digital asset economy without compromising regulatory discipline or operational focus. Strategic Significance This deal represents a first-of-its-kind bridge between Wall Street and decentralized AI. By leveraging Nvidia-powered GPUs distributed worldwide through the Aethir network, ATH is creating a global Strategic Compute Reserve. This reserve gives both investors and enterprises the ability to participate in decentralized infrastructure that underpins AI, gaming, and enterprise cloud, all while providing access at 40–80% lower cost than traditional providers. By linking financial capital with operational compute power, the model redefines what it means for public markets to invest in infrastructure. It democratizes access to advanced GPU networks and positions decentralized compute as a new category of corporate treasury asset — one that could become as strategic as energy reserves in the global economy. Key Advisors and Partners DNA Holdings Venture Inc. served as strategic advisor, consultant, and investor. H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as exclusive placement agent. Legal counsel was provided to the issuer by DLA Piper LLP (US) and to DNA by Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP. About DNA Holdings Venture Inc.
