Subnet Participation
On 03 November 2025, Astrid committed 3,000 TAO to Subnet 18 through OTC and on-market acquisition of subnet tokens.
As at the date of this announcement, Astrid's holdings in Zeus have increased to the equivalent of approximately 3,711 TAO.
This increase of 711 TAO worth of tokens is a 23.7% increase since the beginning of this partnership.
Strategic Context
Zeus is a Bittensor subnet that has achieved state-of-the-art weather prediction capabilities. It builds systems that identify a predictive edge in environmental data by leveraging sensors distributed around the world, transforming that data into actionable insights for energy markets. The platform aggregates the forecasts commonly used by traders, then layers in additional context and features derived directly from user feedback, followed by the introduction of its own forecasts. These forecasts have outperformed IFS, the gold standard relied upon by the market, on the shared grid used by participants.

The Company's involvement enables it to:
● participate directly in subnet-level activity as Astrid will also validate on this subnet.
● support the development of AI-driven services.
● strengthen its presence across the Bittensor network.
● potentially commercialise the intelligence that Zeus accumulates.
Management Commentary
Siam Kidd, Chief Executive Officer of Astrid Intelligence PLC, commented:
"Bittensor is extremely good at innovating in or revolutionising entrenched incumbent industries, due to the power of its globally distributed miner network. Weather forecasting is one of humans longest endeavours and Zeus have managed to become state of the art in little under a year from launch. We are delighted to be partnering with the team."
