('AgriFORCE' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: AGRI) is pleased to share key takeaways, strategic insights, and next steps in its mission to accelerate sustainable digital infrastructure development.
Key Takeaways from Bitcoin 2025
Strengthened Ecosystem Relationships
AgriFORCE leveraged the Las Vegas conference to deepen relationships with leading utility operators, modular data center OEMs, and energy-integrated hosting platforms. Notably, the Company initiated co-development dialogues with North American natural gas aggregators and advanced load-balancing software providers focused on dynamic mining-to-grid orchestration. These new synergies are expected to streamline future deployment of TerraHash Digital ™ sites across underutilized energy corridors.
Investor and Analyst Interest
Institutional engagement was a standout theme. The AgriFORCE team met with multiple hedge funds and digital asset infrastructure allocators, receiving positive feedback on its hybrid infrastructure-token model. Several follow-up discussions are already scheduled with investors seeking access to sustainable compute yields and inflation-hedged hard asset exposure.
Media & Thought Leadership Coverage
AgriFORCE and CEO Jolie Kahn were featured in multiple media segments during the event, including a panel highlight in Mining Disrupted Weekly and an interview with The Hashcast, focusing on AgriFORCE's dual-role in regenerative energy systems and high-efficiency compute. Community influencers on YouTube and X (formerly Twitter) amplified the Company's message around the convergence of agricultural innovation and decentralized infrastructure.
Reaffirmed Commitment to Sustainability & Inclusion
As part of the 'Women in Bitcoin' initiative at the conference, Ms. Kahn participated in roundtable sessions promoting inclusive leadership in digital infrastructure. AgriFORCE reaffirmed its commitment to advancing diversity in energy tech, while scaling initiatives that tie grid optimization to sustainable land and food systems.
Next Steps
Roadmap Execution
Based on insights and partnerships from Bitcoin 2025, AgriFORCE is fast-tracking two pilot deployments in Q3 2025—one in a legacy agricultural zone with stranded power in Alberta, and another in the U.S. Southeast focused on dual-output (mining + agtech) capacity. The Company is also finalizing its token economics upgrade, aligning with Solana for scalable validator integration.
Q2/Q3 Engagements
AgriFORCE will continue momentum through a series of strategic engagements including its June participation in the North American Blockchain Summit and a targeted investor roadshow spanning New York, Toronto, and Dubai. These efforts aim to broaden global awareness and attract aligned capital to its infrastructure pipeline.
Follow-Up Availability
AgriFORCE invites stakeholders, utilities, tech partners, and investors to schedule one-on-one briefings to explore partnership opportunities, joint ventures, or site-specific development alignments.
Quote from CEO Jolie Kahn:
'Our time at Bitcoin 2025 confirmed that the future of mining lies at the intersection of grid intelligence, sustainability, and global collaboration. AgriFORCE is proud to be at the center of that movement,' said Ms. Kahn. 'We are energized by the relationships we've formed and the work ahead.'

This Tlingit artist has taught 2,000 people to make bentwood boxes. She plans to keep going
Joanne Williams estimates she's taught 2,000 people how to make bentwood boxes. "I actually feel pretty complete, but I'm still going ahead to teach more," said Williams, a Tlingit artist, elder and bentwood knowledge-holder from Atlin, B.C. Bentwood boxes are watertight containers invented by coastal First Nations people. They're made by steaming a plank of wood, bending it into a square and fitting it with a lid and base. Williams was taught to make bentwood boxes as a child by her grandmother, elder Elizabeth Nyman, and has now taught bentwood box-making herself all over the west coast, including Haida Gwaii and Mount Currie. She also hosts weekly culture craft nights for Atlinites with the Taku River Tlingit First Nation. Williams says she's inspired to keep teaching by her grandmother, who asked her to pass the knowledge on to other people. "You're actually not supposed to hold secrets back when you're 60 years old, you're supposed to give everything away," Williams said. Bentwood boxes were traditionally used for all purposes, from carrying household items to storing important regalia. "It would have kept all their food and regalia dry," explained Maurice Ouimette, Williams' husband and business partner. "They're the only peoples in the world that developed this technology." The duo is now planning to launch a new home-based business this fall, selling bentwood box-making kits. They're going to mill the wood themselves to make the kits. They'll also sell supplies for beading, sewing and medicine bags. The duo says this business is not a money-making venture. Most of the profits will be donated. "We're trying to reach as many people in the world as possible," Ouimette said. Williams hopes teachers will use the kits to share with young people – but she says anyone can buy them and become teachers themselves.

2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks That Could Be Too Cheap to Ignore Right Now
Key Points Investors are pessimistic about Google Search's odds of survival. Taiwan Semiconductor's management projects monster growth over the next five years. 10 stocks we like better than Alphabet › Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks and "cheap" aren't often placed in the same sentence, but I think that's true of two stocks in particular. Both Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) appear to be cheap, but for two separate reasons. In a market that's growing increasingly expensive, I think taking a hard look at these two stocks is worthwhile, as the value they provide investors is near the best available. 1. Alphabet Alphabet is the parent company of Google, YouTube, Waymo, and the Android operating system. However, Alphabet derives the majority of its revenue from one source: advertisements. This is also the major concern from the market, as Alphabet's primary revenue source, the Google Search engine, is under attack from generative AI. Google Search accounted for 56% of revenue in the first quarter. While we don't have an individualized breakdown of Google Search's operating margin, the Google Services division generated an operating margin of 42%, accounting for over 100% of Alphabet's total operating profits. That's because this division funds various Alphabet investments that don't generate any profits, so this segment needs to continue performing well for Alphabet to remain attractive to investors. However, there are some signs of Google's dominance slipping, as its market share has fallen below 90% for the first time since 2015. Furthermore, many Wall Street analysts and other tech-savvy people have replaced Google Search with generative AI. As a result, many are forecasting the downfall of Google, which is why the stock trades at a huge discount to the market. GOOG PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts. PE Ratio = price-to-earnings ratio. At 19 times forward earnings, Alphabet's stock is far cheaper than the broader market, as measured by the S&P 500. The S&P 500 trades for 23.7 times forward earnings, so there is a tangible difference in valuation between these two securities. However, I think this bearish sentiment is unwarranted. In Q1, Google Search's revenue increased 10% year over year -- not a sign of a company that's failing. Additionally, I think the majority of the population could do without the capabilities of a generative AI web browser or search capabilities and are perfectly fine with the AI Overview Google offers at the top of every search result. We'll receive more information from Alphabet on July 23 when it reports its Q2 results, but I expect Google Search revenue to remain healthy, which could lead to the stock rising. 2. Taiwan Semiconductor Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) is the world's leading chip foundry, producing chips for giants such as Apple and Nvidia. TSMC has beaten out other chip foundries for multiple reasons, but chief among them is that it doesn't market any chips directly to consumers. Taiwan Semiconductor is a chip fab facility only, so its clients don't have to worry about it stealing their technology to produce a product that rivals their own. Additionally, Taiwan Semiconductor is always at the forefront of new chip technology. This remains true, as they are launching their 2-nanometer (nm) chip node later this year and a 1.6 nm offering in 2026. This dominance has enabled it to establish itself firmly at the forefront of the chip fabrication industry, and its services are in high demand. As a result, clients often place chip orders years in advance, which gives TSMC unparalleled insight into the direction the market is heading. Over the next five years, management projects a 45% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in AI-related revenue and a nearly 20% CAGR in total revenue. That's market-crushing growth, and if it pans out, Taiwan Semiconductor stock will be a must-own. Despite management's strong track record and the obvious tailwinds in the chip industry, TSMC's stock trades at only 24.9 times forward earnings. TSM PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts. PE Ratio = price-to-earnings ratio. While this is technically more expensive than the broader market, the difference is only slight. Furthermore, with the market's long-term growth rate hovering at around 10%, TSMC's projected 20% growth rate significantly outpaces it. As a result, TSMC appears undervalued for its growth and should be acquired before the stock rises further. Should you invest $1,000 in Alphabet right now?

10 Magnificent S&P 500 Dividend Stocks Down Over 10% to Buy and Hold Forever
Key Points Dividend stocks are a useful source of extra income. The best dividend stocks, however, also increase payouts over time and can build you a fortune. The S&P 500 index has some top-notch dividend stocks, some of which are no-brainer buys now. 10 stocks we like better than Medtronic › Dividend stocks are one of the most powerful wealth compounders. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index offers the perfect example. Over the past 25 years, while the S&P 500 rose by over 300%, its total returns crossed 550% thanks to reinvested dividends. As you may guess, the S&P 500 comprises some of the best dividend stocks out there, many of which have been multibaggers and have the potential to continue being so. Here are 10 such magnificent S&P 500 dividend stocks -- trading at least 10% below their all-time highs -- to buy now and hold forever. Johnson & Johnson: down 11.5%, yield 3.4% Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) is a cash-flow machine. It generated $95 billion in free cash flow (FCF) over the past five years and returned 60% of it to shareholders. The stock is also a dividend powerhouse, increasing its dividend for 62 consecutive years. Johnson & Johnson has robust financials, invests heavily in research and development, and has big plans for both its businesses, pharmaceuticals and medical technology, making it a top S&P 500 dividend stock to buy and hold. ExxonMobil: down 11.6%, yield 3.7% ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) is one of the world's largest oil and gas companies. In 2024, the oil and gas giant generated $55 billion in cash flow from operations, compared to $30 billion in 2019. ExxonMobil is a dividend behemoth with a 42-year streak of consecutive dividend increases. After its $60 billion acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources in 2023, ExxonMobil has been targeting higher production at even lower costs and focusing on boosting its cash flows, all of which makes this magnificent S&P 500 dividend stock a buy at every dip. Procter & Gamble: down 14%, yield 2.7% Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) owns over 60 brands, most of which are household names today. Although its organic sales growth has slowed due to higher costs and weak consumer sentiment, it's just a short-term blip. Procter & Gamble is restructuring operations and targeting core earnings per share by mid- to high-single-digit percentages in the long term by exiting low-margin brands and markets. Above all, Procter & Gamble has a strong balance sheet and is a Dividend King, having increased its dividend for 69 consecutive years. NextEra Energy: down 19%, yield 3.3% NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) operates the largest electric utility in America (Florida Power & Light), which generates steady cash flows. It is also the world's largest producer of wind and solar energy, as well as a key player in battery storage, all of which are growth drivers. NextEra Energy stock has increased its dividend for over 20 years and has generated humongous returns for investors who reinvested the dividends. The global shift to renewables and a massive pipeline make NextEra Energy a no-brainer S&P 500 dividend stock to buy and hold forever. NEE data by YCharts. Chevron: down 19%, yield 4.8% Chevron (NYSE: CVX) is one of the largest integrated oil companies, operating across the entire value chain, from exploration and production to pipelines, refining, chemicals, and marketing. Chevron has massive oil and gas reserves but is also growing new low-carbon businesses, such as hydrogen and renewable fuels. Chevron has increased its dividend for 38 consecutive years, making it one of the best oil dividend stocks within the S&P 500. Chevron also just won a dispute with ExxonMobil and has acquired Hess in a massive $53 billion deal. American Water Works: down 24%, yield 2.4% American Water Works (NYSE: AWK) is the largest regulated water and wastewater utility in the U.S., serving over 14 million customers and 18 military bases. AWK data by YCharts. While generating stable cash flows from these regulated and contracted businesses, American Water Works' regular investments in its infrastructure help it secure base rate hike approvals, which continue to drive its earnings, cash flows, and dividends higher. American Water Works is targeting 7% to 9% annual dividend growth for the long term, making it an incredibly safe S&P 500 dividend stock to buy now and hold forever. Realty Income: down 29%, yield 5.6% Realty Income (NYSE: O), a real estate investment trust (REIT), pays a dividend every month and has increased it for 110 consecutive quarters now. The company owns over 15,000 properties globally and leases them under triple-net leases, where the tenants bear most of the costs. So, Realty Income enjoys high margins, and its diverse portfolio enables the company to navigate economic challenges. Realty Income's commitment to paying a monthly and growing dividend makes it one of the top 10 dividend stocks to double up on now and hold. Oneok: down 29%, yield 5% Oneok (NYSE: OKE) is one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in the U.S., with a network of pipelines spanning 60,000 miles. Three big acquisitions over the past couple of years or so, including that of Magellan Midstream Partners, combined with organic expansions, should help Oneok steadily grow earnings and meet its goal of increasing the annual dividend by 3% to 4%. When coupled with a 5% yield, Oneok makes for an appealing S&P 500 dividend stock to buy and hold. Nucor: down 30%, yield 1.7% Nucor (NYSE: NUE) is America's largest and most diversified steel company. It is also vertically integrated, meaning it sources the bulk of its raw material in-house. That's a huge competitive advantage to have in a commodity business and one of the key factors behind Nucor's strong financials and dividend growth. Nucor aims to return at least 40% of its earnings to shareholders, has increased its dividend for 52 straight years, and is primed to benefit from President Donald Trump's steep tariffs on steel imports. NUE data by YCharts. Medtronic: down 33%, yield 3.3% With revenue of $33.5 billion for the fiscal year that ended April 25, 2025, Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) is the world's largest medical device manufacturer. It offers a wide range of products across cardiovascular, neuroscience, medical-surgical, and diabetes care and uses artificial intelligence and robotics technologies to build better products. Medtronic plans to divest its diabetes business into a separate company to unlock more value for shareholders. Meanwhile, it is only two dividend raises away from becoming a Dividend King, making this S&P 500 dividend stock a solid buy. Should you invest $1,000 in Medtronic right now?
