XTAO Reveals Massive Holdings of Bittensor Token TAO
xTAO (TSXV:XTAO.U), a unique player in the crypto treasury space, revealed it holds approximately 63,242 TAO tokens. According to xTAO, this makes it 'one of the largest publicly traded holders of TAO.' The company's treasury is invested in Bittensor, a decentralized network built around artificial intelligence.
Bittensor rewards participants with TAO tokens for contributing Machine Learning models and computing work. These tokens can be used to stake on validators, which help evaluate and secure the network. Staking involves locking up tokens in exchange for rewards.
xTAO earns staking rewards in TAO by expanding its validator operations and building infrastructure for the Bittensor ecosystem. This strategy provides two potential sources of value: any rise in the price of TAO, and a steady flow of new tokens from staking.
