Tiger Signs Letter of Intent for £250,000 Equity Investment in Tao Strategies Singapore

Tiger Royalties and Investments Plc (AIM: TIG), an investment vehicle focused
on incubating technology and mining projects, is pleased to announce its
strategic entry into the fast-emerging decentralised AI space via Tao
Strategies Singapore ("Tao Strategies"). As a cornerstone investor, Tiger has
signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to invest £250,000 in Tao Strategies, a
dedicated operator of miner and validator nodes and subnodes on the Bittensor
network .

Bittensor is an open-source, proof-of-stake blockchain that creates a global
marketplace for machine-learning models, whilst participants earn TAO tokens,
related to the worth of the intelligence they provide. Tiger has a strategy
("TAO Strategy") which will see the Company building a diversified portfolio
across the Bittensor landscape, and its investment in Tao Strategies marks its
first investment in this evolving space.   The Directors believe that the
partnership with Tao Strategies has the potential to position Tiger at the
forefront of the democratisation of intelligence, redefining how intelligence
is created and exchanged.

Key Highlights

●     £250,000 Initial Commitment: The LOI provides an immediate
injection of capital to accelerate Tao Strategies', subnode deployment and
research and development on cutting-edge AI models.

●     Alignment with Tiger's Investment AI and Crypto Thesis: By
supporting infrastructure that democratises access to frontier AI, Tiger aims
to capture long-term value while promoting an open, incentive-driven future
for AI development, via its TAO Strategy.

Jonathan Bixby, Chief Executive Officer of Tiger commented:  "Our TAO
Strategy represents a perfect convergence of our expertise in utility tokens,
emerging technologies and our vision for AI-driven innovation.  Bittensor
represents a generational shift, an open, borderless network where anyone can
contribute to and benefit from advances in artificial intelligence.

"Our partnership with Tao Strategies Singapore positions Tiger at the ground
floor of a decentralised-AI paradigm we believe will redefine how intelligence
is created and exchanged."

Olivia Edwards, Founder of Tao Strategies Singapore, said: "Tiger's support
will help us scale validator and miner operations quickly, ensuring greater
resilience and performance for the Bittensor network.

"Together, we're advancing a future in which AI development is distributed
among many participants rather than concentrated in a single entity."
