“Since our last year-end in September 2023, we have expanded into AI and Robotics,” said Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Realbotix. “As part of this change and completing this audit, management had different views than our auditors with respect to a $9.3 million write-down with respect to the value around our IP, technology and certain assets such as our domain names the prior year. Management believes that there is substantial value in the business, technology and patents that were not recognized.”
Robotics and AI
The company continued to make advancements in the development of its robots and proprietary AI technology. This includes patents and proprietary technology around the robotic modularity system, vision systems and synthetic skin technologies.
Cryptocurrency Treasury Strategy
Realbotix remains optimistic about the cryptocurrency market. While the company continues to stake approximately 60% of its owned ETH, the other approximately 40% of its ETH holdings are unstaked to allow for opportunistic selling in anticipation of a further bullish pricing environment. In December 2024 and January 2025, Realbotix sold 250 ETH for working capital purposes.
Domain Name Sales
Management plans to be more assertive in 2025 with respect to selling certain domain names, including Tokens.com. The Tokens.com domain is currently listed at US$6 million. However, management acknowledges that there can be no assurance the domain will sell for the listed price. Management notes, the domain is not valued on its balance sheet and any sales would be incremental to the balance sheet asset values.
In addition, on January 22, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with Machai Capital Inc. (“Machai”), pursuant to which Machai will provide a digital marketing campaign. The term of the Machai agreement is on a month-to-month basis with an initial payment of $60,000 plus applicable taxes, to be paid upfront. Under the Machai agreement, Machai will execute a comprehensive digital media marketing campaign for the Company commencing in February 2025, including branding and content creation, data optimization services including search engine optimization, search engine marketing, lead generation, digital marketing, social media marketing, e-mail marketing, and brand marketing.
