#TAO Holdings Surge as xTAO Becomes Largest Public Holder With $16M Position
xTAO has revealed it holds 41,538
$TAO tokens worth $15.8 million, making it the largest publicly traded holder of Bittensor's native cryptocurrency.
The company surpassed TAO Synergies (TAOX), which recently acquired 29,899
$TAO for $10 million.
xTAO is led by CEO Karia Samaroo, who previously founded crypto exchange WonderFi before its $180 million acquisition by Robinhood.
The company earns approximately 10% annual yield by staking its
$TAO holdings to the Bittensor root network.
xTAO launched on Canada's TSX Venture Exchange last week after closing a $22.8 million funding round from Digital Currency Group and Animoca Brands.
The firm plans to use its treasury to expand validator operations and develop #Bittensor ecosystem infrastructure.
