Operational Update: Expansion of Position in Subnet 71 (Leadpoet)

Astrid Intelligence PLC (AQSE: ASTR), the decentralised AI infrastructure operating company, is pleased to provide an update on its operational participation in Subnet 71 ("Leadpoet"), a Bittensor-based AI network focused on lead generation services.

Subnet Participation

On 1 December 2025, Astrid committed 2,000 TAO to Subnet 71 through on-market acquisition of subnet tokens, representing an initial value of approximately £400,000 at that time.

As at the date of this announcement, Astrid's position has increased to approximately 2,366 TAO-equivalent of Subnet 71 tokens worth £500 000, reflecting both network participation and associated emissions.

Astrid's participation in Subnet 71 forms part of its broader strategy to operate across multiple subnets within the Bittensor ecosystem, supporting network activity while integrating with emerging AI services.

The Company's involvement enables it to:

●     participate directly in subnet-level activity
