Operational Update: Expansion of Position in Subnet 71 (Leadpoet)

 

Astrid Intelligence PLC (AQSE: ASTR), the decentralised AI infrastructure
operating company, is pleased to provide an update on its operational
participation in Subnet 71 ("Leadpoet"), a Bittensor-based AI network focused
on lead generation services.

 

Subnet Participation

On 1 December 2025, Astrid committed 2,000 TAO to Subnet 71 through on-market
acquisition of subnet tokens, representing an initial value of approximately
£400,000 at that time.

 

As at the date of this announcement, Astrid's position has increased to
approximately 2,366 TAO-equivalent of Subnet 71 tokens worth £500 000,
reflecting both network participation and associated emissions.

 

Strategic Context

Leadpoet is a Bittensor subnet focused on AI-driven lead generation and has
developed an innovative AI agent that delivers ready-to-buy prospects on
demand.

 

Astrid's participation in Subnet 71 forms part of its broader strategy to
operate across multiple subnets within the Bittensor ecosystem, supporting
network activity while integrating with emerging AI services.

 

The Company's involvement enables it to:

●     participate directly in subnet-level activity

●     support the development of AI-driven services

●     strengthen its presence across the Bittensor network

 

 

Siam Kidd, Chief Executive Officer of Astrid Intelligence PLC, commented:

 

"Leadpoet has demonstrated strong early progress within the Bittensor
ecosystem and is building a practical application of AI in the lead generation
space.

 

Our participation reflects Astrid's broader approach of engaging directly with
subnets that are delivering real-world utility. We look forward to supporting
the continued development of Subnet 71 as part of our expanding operational
footprint."
