Oblong Reports Q3 2025 Results

 

Oblong, Inc. Grows TAO Treasury to 21,822 Tokens in Q3 2025: All Holdings Fully Staked on Bittensor Network

 

November 13, 2025 — DENVER, CO — Oblong, Inc. (Nasdaq: OBLG), a digital asset treasury company, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

 

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

 

  Debt-free balance sheet with $3.7 million in cash and cash equivalents plus 21,822 TAO tokens valued at $6.6 million (total liquid assets of $10.3 million).
 

Revenue of $0.6 million, an increase of 4% from the prior-year period.

 

Net loss of $2.3 million, compared to $1.0 million for the prior-year period, as Q3 2025 reflects a $1.5 million unrealized loss on TAO token revaluation at September 30, 2025.

  Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed 26% year-over-year to $0.7 million.

 

Treasury Growth and Staking Operations

 

Oblong invested $6.3 million to acquire 16,517 TAO tokens during Q3 at an average price of $384 per token. The Company earned 274 TAO in staking rewards during Q3, representing $97,000 of revenue and an annualized yield of approximately 6% on average holdings during the quarter. All TAO tokens remain fully staked in the Bittensor network, supporting decentralized AI infrastructure while generating ongoing rewards.

 

As of November 12, 2025, Oblong holds 21,943 TAO tokens, with a market value of approximately $8.0 million, based on the UTC zone closing price.

 

Bittensor Network Momentum

 

The Bittensor ecosystem is accelerating into a new phase of maturity and scalability. On November 4, the OpenTensor Foundation deployed Subtensor v2.3.0—a coordinated event introducing transformative upgrades that directly enhance the value of active network participation:

 

 

Dynamic Subnet Capacity now auto-scales beyond the previous fixed limits, with the network already supporting 128 high-quality subnets and room for continued expansion as stake grows.
 

Cross-Subnet Messaging enables sub-100ms queries across subnets, unlocking composable AI pipelines where models can seamlessly chain capabilities.

  Emission Curve Overhaul ties rewards to performance, granting top subnets up to 20% bonus emissions while low performers face gradual throttling.
 

Hotkey Rotation allows validators to refresh keys mid-epoch without slashing, materially strengthening security.

  Governance Quorum lowered to 33%, making on-chain proposals more inclusive and responsive.
  Fee Market Revamp introduces dynamic auctions and 50% fee burn, adding deflationary pressure and new validator revenue.

 

Most notably, the network’s first block-reward halving remains on track for mid-December 2025, cutting new TAO issuance by 50%. Combined with these upgrades and continued Yuma Consensus enhancements, the halving is widely viewed as a defining catalyst for Bittensor’s long-term tokenomics and decentralized intelligence economy.

Management Commentary

 

“Oblong’s investment in Bittensor was founded on a simple yet powerful conviction: the future of machine intelligence will not be controlled by any single corporation, but will emerge from a truly open, incentivized, and decentralized network,” said Pete Holst, Chief Executive Officer. “Bittensor is building exactly that future—one where thousands of independent contributors compete and collaborate to create AI that belongs to everyone. By staking every TAO we own, we are not just generating yield on our capital; we are actively participating in the construction of tomorrow’s intelligence infrastructure.”

 

Mr. Holst continued, “The Subtensor upgrades deployed last week—dynamic capacity, cross-subnet messaging, performance-based emissions, and more—represent a quantum leap in scalability and incentive alignment. With 128 thriving subnets, dynamic TAO maturing since February, and the December halving just weeks away, we stand at the threshold of a new era for decentralized AI. Our treasury is fully deployed, our balance sheet is pristine, and our conviction has never been stronger. We are not simply holding a token—we are helping build the operating system for the next generation of intelligence.”
