AI Storm Begins Application Process for Bitcoin Shareholder Benefits

AI Storm Inc. (formerly Jexeed Inc., Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: Toshio Imai, Securities Code: 3719) has announced that as of Tuesday, May 19, 2026, it has begun accepting applications for Bitcoin (BTC) as a 2026 shareholder benefit.

Under this benefit program, in addition to the existing shareholder benefit system, eligible shareholders can choose Bitcoin (BTC). Applications are processed through a dedicated form managed by OKJ (OKCoin Japan), a domestic crypto asset exchange.

◆ Overview of Application Application Start Date: Tuesday, May 19, 2026 Bitcoin Application Form: https://www.okcoin.jp/yutai/entry Distribution Date: Scheduled for late October 2026 Target Shareholders: Shareholders who hold the company's shares as of the designated record date. *Please check the specific guidelines for detailed conditions. Receiving Bitcoin requires opening an account with OKJ and completing identity verification.

◆ Why Bitcoin was chosen as a shareholder benefit Both AI and Bitcoin are technologies that digitally redesign existing centralized structures. For a company centered on AI, incorporating digital assets into shareholder returns was a natural choice. While traditional shareholder benefits have centered on "things to consume," Bitcoin is an "experience." The company's goal is to allow shareholders to experience the era where AI and blockchain are changing society alongside the company.

◆ The future AI Storm is building with its shareholders AI Storm is leveraging its three growth engines: AI Advisory, AI & Mortar, and AI New Business, to advance further into AI infrastructure, data centers, and AI agent domains. Reaching a market capitalization of 50 billion JPY is a future the company is determined to achieve. Today's start of the application process represents a strong step toward that future and serves as a starting point for sharing digital-age shareholder returns with each shareholder.
