Digital Commodities Acquires Solana and Adopts AI and Digital-Infrastructure Strategy

KUALA LUMPUR, 29 SEPTEMBER 2026 —

Digital Commodities Inc. announced on September 28, 2026 that it has purchased roughly C$100,000 of Solana (SOL), a move that marks the first allocation under a newly adopted two‑tier digital‑asset treasury strategy.

The dual‑tier approach is intended to separate a “reserve foundation” of bitcoin and cash from a distinct, board‑overseen allocation that targets digital assets deemed likely to benefit from the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain infrastructure. Management said the Solana acquisition is the inaugural position in the AI‑infrastructure tier, reflecting the network’s capacity for high‑throughput, low‑cost transaction processing that could serve the frequent, small‑value trades expected from autonomous software agents.

By establishing a disciplined, separate allocation, the company aims to capture economic value generated when AI systems transact autonomously, while preserving the stability of its bitcoin‑led reserve.

The strategy follows what the company describes as an “extended reset in digital‑asset markets” and a broader evolution of AI from a tool that primarily generates information to software capable of initiating transactions and coordinating economic activity. According to the release, management believes AI agents may become an additional source of demand for digitally native payment and settlement infrastructure, a demand that is not captured by traditional single‑asset strategies listed on conventional markets.

The AI‑infrastructure tier will be built in measured stages, with each asset required to demonstrate a live, disclosed mechanism—such as transaction‑fee capture or network‑settlement demand—by which network activity translates into asset value, rather than being selected on narrative alone.

Solana was chosen because of its role in programmable finance, stablecoins, tokenisation and its ability to process a high volume of transactions at low cost.

The company said these attributes make the network well suited to the “frequent, small‑value transactions that autonomous software agents may generate.” The firm will continue to evaluate other established and emerging digital assets against the same framework, with the sizing and composition of each tier subject to periodic review by the board as the strategy matures and market conditions evolve.

“Bitcoin remains the foundation of our treasury,” said Brayden Sutton, chief executive officer of Digital Commodities. “We funded our initial Solana position by monetising a portion of our physical gold holdings.

What we’re adding is a second, disciplined allocation to digital assets we believe may become important infrastructure as AI systems increasingly transact and coordinate economic activity.” Sutton added that the company does not intend to fund further AI‑infrastructure allocations through additional reductions to the bitcoin position without separate board approval and disclosure.

The reserve foundation consists of bitcoin held directly, together with cash, while the AI‑infrastructure allocation is a separate, governed pool of select digital assets. To finance the initial Solana purchase, the company sold part of its physical gold holdings, a move it says will not be repeated for future AI‑infrastructure positions unless approved by the board.

Management emphasized that the AI‑infrastructure tier will be built “in measured stages, subject to market conditions, available capital and relative opportunity,” and that an asset will qualify only where a concrete, disclosed mechanism links network activity to asset value.

Digital Commodities also holds strategic investments in public and private companies, though the release provides no further detail on those holdings. The firm’s broader mission, as outlined in the announcement, is to build long‑term shareholder value through transparent, disclosed exposure to durable reserve assets and the emerging digital infrastructure of an AI‑driven economy. The company said it will provide appropriate disclosure regarding material digital‑asset holdings and significant portfolio changes as the strategy develops.

The release includes a standard forward‑looking statement disclaimer, noting that the company’s expectations are based on assumptions that its strategy and business plans will remain unchanged, that bitcoin will retain its value and relevance as a core reserve asset, and that Solana and other selected blockchain networks will continue to be adopted for payments, stablecoins, tokenisation and AI‑related applications.

It also cautions that actual results may differ materially due to a range of risks, including regulatory changes, custody and security issues, technological and cybersecurity threats, and the possibility that AI‑related applications may not adopt blockchain‑based payment and financial infrastructure as anticipated.

In its forward‑looking statements, Digital Commodities highlighted several material assumptions: continued access to sufficient capital on acceptable terms; market conditions that permit acquisition of digital assets at acceptable prices; and the emergence of autonomous software agents that will adopt blockchain‑based payment and settlement infrastructure.

The company also acknowledged risks related to concentration in a limited number of digital assets, liquidity of digital‑asset markets, competition from other blockchain networks, and the potential that Solana or other networks may not become important infrastructure for AI‑related applications.

The announcement marks the first concrete step by a publicly listed investment firm to formalise a split‑treasury model that explicitly links digital‑asset exposure to the anticipated growth of AI‑driven economic activity. By monetising gold to fund the Solana position while preserving its bitcoin reserve, Digital Commodities signals a willingness to reallocate capital within its digital‑asset portfolio in response to evolving technological trends.

The company’s board will periodically review the composition of each tier, suggesting that further allocations to other AI‑aligned digital assets could follow, contingent on the emergence of verifiable use‑case mechanisms.

Brayden Sutton concluded the release by reiterating the company’s commitment to transparency and to providing material disclosures as the strategy unfolds.
