Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 21, 2026) - SonicStrategy Inc. (CSE: SONI) (OTCQB: SONIF) ("SonicStrategy" or the "Company") today provides shareholders with an update on validator revenue, reduced monthly burn, and the status of its previously announced LOI with ARKLAB AI.

Q2 2026 Staking Revenue

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company generated staking revenue of $71,530 USD. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, staking revenue totaled $183,096 USD. These figures are drawn from the Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

"Staking revenue continues to reflect the scale of our validator operations on the Sonic network," said Dustin Zinger, Chief Executive Officer of SonicStrategy.

Reduced Monthly Burn

As part of an ongoing commitment to capital discipline, the Company has taken steps to reduce corporate overhead, bringing its total monthly burn to approximately $30,000 USD. "As revenue scales, we want more of it flowing to shareholders rather than being absorbed by fixed costs," added Mr. Zinger. "This reduction reflects that priority."

Update on ARKLAB AI LOI

The Company also announces that it has terminated the non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") previously announced on July 14, 2026, regarding the proposed acquisition of certain AI infrastructure assets from ARKLAB AI. During due diligence, the Company identified matters relating to the corporate standing of the ARKLAB AI counterparty that led both parties to conclude it was in their mutual interest not to proceed on the terms contemplated. SonicStrategy and ARKLAB AI have amicably agreed to terminate the LOI, no definitive agreement was entered into, and the Company did not incur any material costs or liabilities in connection with the terminated LOI. The Company thanks the ARKLAB AI team for their collaboration throughout the process and remains committed to its strategy of expanding into decentralized AI compute alongside its validator business, and will continue to evaluate opportunities to execute on that strategy.
