('AgriFORCE' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: AGRI) is pleased to share key takeaways, strategic insights, and next steps in its mission to accelerate sustainable digital infrastructure development.
Key Takeaways from Bitcoin 2025
Strengthened Ecosystem Relationships
AgriFORCE leveraged the Las Vegas conference to deepen relationships with leading utility operators, modular data center OEMs, and energy-integrated hosting platforms. Notably, the Company initiated co-development dialogues with North American natural gas aggregators and advanced load-balancing software providers focused on dynamic mining-to-grid orchestration. These new synergies are expected to streamline future deployment of TerraHash Digital ™ sites across underutilized energy corridors.
Investor and Analyst Interest
Institutional engagement was a standout theme. The AgriFORCE team met with multiple hedge funds and digital asset infrastructure allocators, receiving positive feedback on its hybrid infrastructure-token model. Several follow-up discussions are already scheduled with investors seeking access to sustainable compute yields and inflation-hedged hard asset exposure.
Media & Thought Leadership Coverage
AgriFORCE and CEO Jolie Kahn were featured in multiple media segments during the event, including a panel highlight in Mining Disrupted Weekly and an interview with The Hashcast, focusing on AgriFORCE's dual-role in regenerative energy systems and high-efficiency compute. Community influencers on YouTube and X (formerly Twitter) amplified the Company's message around the convergence of agricultural innovation and decentralized infrastructure.
Reaffirmed Commitment to Sustainability & Inclusion
As part of the 'Women in Bitcoin' initiative at the conference, Ms. Kahn participated in roundtable sessions promoting inclusive leadership in digital infrastructure. AgriFORCE reaffirmed its commitment to advancing diversity in energy tech, while scaling initiatives that tie grid optimization to sustainable land and food systems.
Next Steps
Roadmap Execution
Based on insights and partnerships from Bitcoin 2025, AgriFORCE is fast-tracking two pilot deployments in Q3 2025—one in a legacy agricultural zone with stranded power in Alberta, and another in the U.S. Southeast focused on dual-output (mining + agtech) capacity. The Company is also finalizing its token economics upgrade, aligning with Solana for scalable validator integration.
Q2/Q3 Engagements
AgriFORCE will continue momentum through a series of strategic engagements including its June participation in the North American Blockchain Summit and a targeted investor roadshow spanning New York, Toronto, and Dubai. These efforts aim to broaden global awareness and attract aligned capital to its infrastructure pipeline.
Follow-Up Availability
AgriFORCE invites stakeholders, utilities, tech partners, and investors to schedule one-on-one briefings to explore partnership opportunities, joint ventures, or site-specific development alignments.
Quote from CEO Jolie Kahn:
'Our time at Bitcoin 2025 confirmed that the future of mining lies at the intersection of grid intelligence, sustainability, and global collaboration. AgriFORCE is proud to be at the center of that movement,' said Ms. Kahn. 'We are energized by the relationships we've formed and the work ahead.'

Which AI Stocks Are Set to Soar in the Second Half?
Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks skyrocketed in 2024 amid excitement about this technology that could revolutionize businesses, saving time and money and leading to important discoveries. These players faced a few difficult months recently due to concerns about a potential economic slowdown. However, some of the uncertainty has passed, suggesting better days may be ahead for AI stocks. Against this backdrop, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) are set to soar in the second half. Here's why. 1. Nvidia President Donald Trump's plan to impose tariffs on imports weighed on technology stocks, including AI chip giant Nvidia, several weeks ago. This pushed Nvidia down nearly 30% from the start of the year through early April. Though the president initially exempted electronics products, this exemption was temporary, suggesting chips and other items would face tariffs at some point in the near future. But Nvidia has since rebounded, thanks to optimism that tariffs won't be as steep as originally expected and as the company showed the strength of its earnings through the first quarter of the year. Nvidia's revenue surged 69% to $44 billion, demand remained strong, and customer comments indicate that their spending plans for the year remain intact. This bodes well for ongoing growth for Nvidia. On top of this, the chip giant is making investments in U.S. manufacturing to limit any eventual tariff impact and sticks to its plan to update chips on an annual basis -- a move that should keep it ahead of rivals. Today, Nvidia trades for only 33 times forward earnings estimates, down from about 50 times just a few months ago, and this level offers the stock plenty of room to run in the second half. 2. Apple Among all the top tech stocks, Apple may be the one that has suffered the most amid the recent tariff turbulence. Trump, displeased that Apple has generally produced most iPhones abroad, even threatened to impose a 25% tariff on Apple's imported iPhones. Meanwhile, Apple has made efforts to diversify its manufacturing, with a plan to move much of it from China to India. Uncertainty remains as the president wants Apple to bring iPhone production to the U.S., but doing this could result in a drastically higher price for the smartphone. All of this has hurt Apple stock, which is down about 20% since the start of the year. I view this as a buying opportunity because I don't think the U.S. aims to destroy Apple's growth. It's possible that both parties will reach a reasonable agreement. Meanwhile, any positive news on the subject could result in Apple stock bouncing back in the coming months. It's important to remember that Apple has built a very profitable smartphone empire with a tremendous moat, or competitive advantage, and these elements should support growth over the long term. All of this means that buying Apple now may result in gains in the coming months, but even better, set you up for a long-term win. 3. Amazon Amazon's performance has been sluggish in recent times, with a 3% decline for the year, amid concerns that tariffs could hurt its e-commerce business and cloud computing unit, Amazon Web Services (AWS). But as mentioned above, the worst-case tariff scenario has been avoided, and the U.S. is making progress on trade agreements. So, I wouldn't expect to see a major impact from the tariffs on Amazon's growth. A key point is that Amazon has revamped its cost structure in recent years after facing pressure from rising inflation. This helped the company return to growth in just one year, and the efforts have positioned it well to maximize profit during future challenging times. So, these cost structure moves should help Amazon manage any potential tariff situation moving forward. And events such as Prime Day, which take place in the second half of the year, could help boost revenue. AWS has also been seeing tremendous growth from its AI efforts, which have helped it reach a $117 billion annual revenue run rate. We're still early in the AI story, so I would expect to see ongoing growth in this area, particularly since AWS is the world's No. 1 cloud service provider. Today, Amazon shares trade for 34 times forward earnings estimates, a reasonable level that could prompt investors to buy -- and help the stock take off in the second half.

Oil rises and U.S. stock futures slide as markets react to U.S. strike on Iran nuclear sites
The facade of the New York Stock Exchange is seen, Wednesday, June 18, 2025, in New York. (AP Photo/Yuki Iwamura) NEW YORK — The price of oil rose and U.S. stock futures fell as global markets react to the U.S. strike against nuclear targets in Iran. The price of Brent crude oil, the international standard, rose 3.9% to US$80 a barrel. U.S. crude rose 4.3% to $77 a barrel. Futures for the S&P 500 fell 0.6%. Treasury yields fell slightly. On Saturday, U.S. forces attacked three Iranian nuclear and military sites, further increasing the stakes in the war between Israel and Iran. The conflict has sent oil prices yo-yoing over the last week, which has in turn caused see-saw moves for the U.S. stock market, because of rising and ebbing fears that the war could disrupt the global flow of crude. Iran is a major producer of oil and also sits on the narrow Strait of Hormuz, through which much of the world's crude passes.

Stablecoin Disruption: Time to Sell Your Visa Stock?
This week, stablecoin legislation was approved by the United States Senate. The bill -- called the GENIUS Act -- still needs to go through the other side of Congress and on to the President's desk, but it is one step closer to bringing stablecoins into the financial system. By regulating the new currencies pegged to the U.S. dollar, issuers of the coin will now need to keep ample reserves to pay back customers and also go through regular audits. Investors are betting that legislation will spur customer adoption, which is a threat to Visa (NYSE: V). If stablecoins are adopted wholesale by consumers, it could mean less payment volume through Visa's network. Less volume means less profit. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Does that mean it is time to sell your Visa stock? Not really. Here's why stablecoins are not a large threat to Visa's business model today. New avenues for merchant acceptance This legislation is inspiring companies to investigate making their own stablecoins. According to reports, both Walmart and Amazon -- the two largest retailers in the United States -- are exploring making stablecoins for shoppers. Retailers are incentivized to do this because of the high fees paid to the credit card networks every year, which range from 2% to 3% of every transaction. Visa only collects 0.1% or a little more of every dollar spent, while most goes to the banking partners that issue credit cards and give consumers cash-back rewards. By adopting stablecoins, merchants see an avenue to avoiding the credit card fees that are a huge expense on their operations. Wal-Mart and Amazon alone could save billions of dollars a year that are now going to the financial system. It only needs to see mass adoption of stablecoins for this to happen. Easier said than done, but there are a lot of profits on the line for trying. The big hurdle: replicating the card rewards and scale Defeating Visa and credit card fees is not going to be easy. If it were, the companies would simply stop accepting Visa altogether. But they cannot, because of Visa's immense scale in merchant acceptance and consumer usage that is difficult to replicate. Visa has operations in 200 countries and territories, accepted by 150 million merchants and growing. It also has 4.8 billion total debit and credit cards in circulation. Over $15 trillion in total payments volume is processed by Visa every year. For stablecoins to succeed, they will need to replicate not one but both sides of this network. Shoppers will not use stablecoins for everyday use unless they are accepted everywhere. Merchants will not care about accepting stablecoins if nobody uses them. Call me skeptical that they will reach Visa's scale anytime soon. This is a classic example of a network effect competitive advantage, which reinforces Visa's growing dominance in the industry. Plus, we shouldn't forget about the thing consumers love about credit cards: cash back and reward points. Credit cards are able to offer so many perks to customers because of the 2% to 3% fees charged to merchants. Without them, it is a much worse customer value proposition, another hurdle for stablecoin adoption. V PE Ratio data by YCharts Should you sell your Visa stock? No, you should not sell your Visa stock just because iy is dipping on stablecoin news. It is clear that this company has a strong competitive advantage and massive scale that stablecoin issuers are nowhere close to matching. The legislation has not even been approved yet, so there is no reason to panic. That does not mean the stock is necessarily a buy at these prices. Its earnings per share (EPS) grew 10% year over year last quarter, which is right around Visa's long-term growth. As such a large business already, it is not going to produce hypergrowth in the form of earnings, but steady durable growth over time. Today, the stock trades at a premium price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 34 even after this stock dip, making the stock expensive. Don't rush out and sell your Visa stock. But don't think the stock is a home run buy just because it slipped 10%, either. Should you invest $1,000 in Visa right now?
