AIxC Announces Strategic Pivot to Physical AI and Robotic Operations Commercialization; RoboShare Completes First Paid Commercial Order

Company plans orderly exit from Digital Asset Treasury strategy and intends to focus resources on robotics operations and commercialization

RoboShare's first paid commercial order marks the start of commercial operations and the first market activation under its planned ten-city strategy

LOS ANGELES, August 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AIxC Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIXC) ("AIxC" or the "Company") today announced a strategic shift toward robotics operations and commercialization as the Company enters a new phase of its development. As part of this transition, AIxC intends to move away from its Digital Asset Treasury ("DAT") strategy, orderly exit its digital asset positions, and focus its resources and strategic priorities on building and commercializing its robotics operations business.

The strategic transition coincides with an important commercial milestone. RoboShare, AIxC's online marketplace for robot sharing and rental, completed its first paid commercial order on August 15, 2026, marking the platform's transition from development and launch into commercial operations and initial revenue generation.

Together, the strategic shift and RoboShare's first commercial transaction represent an important step in AIxC's evolution toward a business centered on real-world robot deployment, utilization and commercialization.

Strategic Focus Shifts to Robotics Operations and Commercialization

Under its updated strategy, AIxC intends to focus on developing a robotics operations ecosystem that expands access to robots, facilitates deployment across real-world use cases, and creates commercial opportunities around ongoing robot utilization.

As part of this transition, the Company plans to orderly exit its digital asset positions and redirect its strategic focus toward robotics operations and commercialization.

RoboShare is expected to be a key component of this strategy. Operated under AIxC, RoboShare is an online marketplace for robot sharing and rental designed to connect robot owners with end customers through a transaction-and-dispatch network.

The model is designed to lower the upfront barrier to robot adoption by allowing customers to access robots without purchasing them outright, while creating opportunities for continued economic activity throughout a robot's operating lifecycle.

"AIxC is entering a new phase focused on building a commercially driven robotics operations business," said an executive at the company. "Our strategic transition reflects where we believe we can create meaningful long-term value for the Company and its shareholders. RoboShare's first paid commercial order is an important early proof point that this strategy is moving beyond platform development into real customer transactions and revenue generation. Our focus from here is execution — expanding demand, increasing robot utilization and building a scalable operating model."

RoboShare Completes First Paid Commercial Order

RoboShare completed its first paid commercial order on August 15, 2026. Los Angeles is the first market in RoboShare's planned ten-city strategy, with the transaction marking the beginning of that commercial rollout.

The first commercial deployment is connected to an event in Malibu and includes six robots across three product types: one Master humanoid performing on stage alongside the artist; four Aegis Pro quadrupeds supporting live performance and interactive display; and one Navi compact robot dog engaging guests through warm-up activities and photo interactions. Custom show production was also developed for the event.

RoboShare's first customer, DU$TY (Dusty the Rapper), is a Los Angeles-based entertainer, rapper, comedian, and content creator with more than 7.1 million followers on his verified Instagram account alone, as well as a presence across TikTok and YouTube. He is the founder and CEO of MEOK and has relationships across entertainment, sports, and content production.

DU$TY's recurring music, comedy, content, and live-event activity provides an initial use case for how creator partnerships can potentially generate repeat robot demand, utilization, and organic market exposure. AIxC intends to explore similar relationships with additional creators, venues, event operators, and commercial customers.

Building a Measurable Commercialization Story

The Company views the first RoboShare order as an initial commercial proof point rather than an endpoint.

Near-term priorities include validating repeat demand and operating economics in Los Angeles, expanding the number and variety of robots available through RoboShare, developing additional customer and ecosystem partnerships, and using the initial market to refine the operating model before expanding into additional cities under RoboShare's planned ten-city strategy.

From a financial perspective, RoboShare is designed to create transaction- and service-based revenue opportunities associated with continued robot utilization. Over time, the Company sees potential for additional economic opportunities across the robot lifecycle, including rental and related services, potential purchase conversion, resale, and rent-to-own models.

The ultimate financial contribution of RoboShare will depend on customer adoption, transaction volume, utilization and the Company's ability to successfully scale the platform.

AIxC believes that establishing a growing record of verified customer transactions and measurable operating milestones will provide investors with greater visibility into the execution and development of its robotics commercialization strategy.

The Company expects to provide additional updates as it advances RoboShare's commercial operations, develops new customer and ecosystem partnerships, and executes its broader robotics strategy.
