Realbotix Corp. (TSX-V: XBOT) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M0.F) (OTC: XBOTF) (“Realbotix” or the “Company”), a leading creator of humanoid robots and companionship-based AI, is pleased to share its 2025 business outlook, underscoring confidence in its companionship product advancements, AI development initiatives and cryptocurrency holdings.
“2024 had many changes including an expansion into AI and robotics, a name change, and a rebrand,” said Andrew Kiguel, CEO. “We’re pleased to see our crypto strategy paying off and are confident that our ventures in AI and robotics will provide for meaningful shareholder value in 2025.”
2025 Capital Markets Initiatives
Realbotix remains well capitalized and management does not foresee the need to raise capital in 2025.
In addition, management does not feel the current share price fully reflects the value of its business. As a result, Realbotix will allocate a portion of its capital in Q1 to its Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) announced in October to buy back its common shares if they remain at current levels. At the current common share prices, the Company's cash and cash equivalents represents over 50% of its market capitalization.
Realbotix has a September financial year-end and is currently finalizing its audited financial statements for 2024. It is anticipated that the Company will release its audited statements approximately in the third week of January and within regulatory timelines.
Cryptocurrency Treasury Strategy
Realbotix remains optimistic about the cryptocurrency market. While the company continues to stake approximately 60% of its owned ETH, the other approximately 40% of its ETH holdings are unstaked to allow for opportunistic selling in anticipation of a further bullish pricing environment. In December, Realbotix sold 100 ETH for working capital purposes.
The Company’s remaining crypto holdings have appreciated by 173% since our previous fiscal year ended October 1st, 2023. Realbotix may explore additional purchases or sales of cryptocurrency. The company currently holds approximately 2880 ETH, alongside other digital assets, and is owed approximately 10,333 SOL and 84 ETH from Genesis. Genesis has communicated to the Company that further distributions will occur before the end of 2024. Management is confident it will recover the majority of the remaining assets from Genesis.
The current value of Realbotix’s self-custodied cryptocurrency and holdings those held at Genesis, have a gross value of approximately US$ 13.77M (US$ 2.5M held at Genesis) or CDN$ 19.73M (CDN$ 3.6M held at Genesis). As disclosed previously, Genesis Global Trading is undergoing a restructuring. As a result, some of those holdings may not be recovered. We note these figures do not include Realbotix’s cash holdings. At current market values, this represents over 50% of the Company's market capitalization.
2025 Robotic and AI Marketing Initiatives
With the launch of the new consumer website, Realbotix.com, the company enters 2025 with a focus on sales and marketing strategy. Plans include hiring sales people and scaling operations to meet demand. Realbotix has been the beneficiary of significant positive media coverage in 2024 and anticipates this momentum to grow as its robot lineup expands in the coming year.
The AI and robotics market is on a significant upward trajectory. Elon Musk recently estimated that humanoid robots could become a multi-trillion-dollar industry1, further validating Realbotix’s innovative product strategy and growth potential.
“Our goal is to become a significant player in the humanoid robotics market. Although the market and our products are at early stages, our robots are available now for purchase,” said Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Realbotix. “Our next iteration of companionship and social AI is nearing completion. We believe our products have numerous use cases, including tackling the loneliness epidemic which is estimated to impact as high as 50% of US citizens2. As one of the only providers of robotic hardware and AI software that integrates to address this area of healthcare, management feels confident in our ability to successfully grow.”
Realbotix continues to distinguish itself from other AI companies by offering deeply integrated hardware and software solutions that focus on human-like connection, creating what management believes to be the most realistic AI-powered robots on the market.
Management intends to make further investments into marketing and sales with the goal of increasing its revenue pipeline. This would take the form of hiring additional sales support personnel and investing in further marketing such as attending trade shows and other forms of advertising.
2025 AI and Hardware Development
The development of Realbotix’s next-generation companionship AI remains a core focus, with key partnerships driving progress. Supported by Compass and a grant from Amazon Web Services, the company is advancing its unique emotional AI platform, which prioritizes unfiltered, emotionally driven conversations over traditional task-based AI models.
Additionally, the Robot Controller 3.0, currently under development, represents a large upgrade in the functionality and AI of Realbotix’s humanoid robotics. With improved motors, speech capabilities, it delivers high levels of fluidity and realism in movement. In addition, it leverages our proprietary AI technologies to bring smarter, more intuitive interactions to life, setting new standards in robotic innovation.
Domain Name Sales
Management plans to be more assertive in 2025 with respect to selling certain domain names, including Tokens.com. The Tokens.com landing page has been converted to a sales site with that domain listed at US$6 million. Management notes, the domain is not valued on its balance sheet and any sales would be incremental to the balance sheet asset values.
Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025
Realbotix is excited to showcase its cutting-edge products at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) being held January 7th-10th, 2025. Realbotix will be located at booth 9468, and will be unveiling its new robot to further solidify its presence as a leader in AI-powered companionship robots.
