VANCOUVER, BC, July 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital Asset Technologies Inc. (CSE: DATT) (OTCPK: DGTEF) (FSE: 988) (“DATT” or the “Company”), a technology focused investment issuer, is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering ") of up to 3,000 convertible debenture units of the Company (the "Convertible Debenture Units ") at a price of C$1,000 per Convertible Debenture Unit for gross proceeds of up to C$3,000,000.
The proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used to fund the Company 's subsidiary, LiquidLink AI Corp., in developing a high-liquidity Lightning Network infrastructure. This infrastructure is expected to support scalable, instant Bitcoin payments and the next generation of digital assets on the Bitcoin Lightning Network, facilitating low-cost, instantaneous settlement of Real-World Assets (RWAs) and stablecoins. These hubs are expected to support liquidity for multi-asset digital commerce and are intended to generate revenue through transaction routing fees. The Company may also allocate a portion of the proceeds from the Offering to marketing and general working capital purposes.
Marcus Ingram, CEO of Digital Asset Technologies, commented:“We view this not just as a financing, but as a strategic step toward building core infrastructure for the future of digital commerce. The Lightning Network offers a solution to Bitcoin’s scalability challenges, with liquidity remaining a key bottleneck. The proceeds from this financing are expected to help position LiquidLink as a meaningful, revenue-generating node within this growing ecosystem. This is expected to enable us to leverage a Bitcoin treasury to support global transactions and generate revenue through Lightning Network activity.”
