Interactive Strength, a publicly traded company based in Austin, Texas, has announced a $50 million investment in Fetch.ai ($FET ) tokens, adopting a unique strategy in the cryptocurrency space.
This investment is allocated to the company’s crypto treasury to support AI-powered fitness products.
CEO Trent Ward stated that this decision is not speculative but utility-driven, diverging from the traditional Bitcoin-based treasury model.
Interactive Strength has secured an initial $55 million investment from ATW Partners and DWF Labs, which will be used to purchase $FET tokens.
The investment will be made in phases, with all funds exclusively spent on $FET tokens.
Founded in 2017, Interactive Strength manufactures fitness equipment and digital training products and began trading shares on Nasdaq in 2023.
Fetch.ai is a blockchain-based platform developing decentralized AI tools and a founding member of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance. FET tokens support the alliance’s AI infrastructure.
Ward explained that FET was chosen due to plans to integrate Fetch.ai’s AI technology into the company’s products, expected to enhance the token’s utility and value.
Ward noted that an improved legal and regulatory environment in the U.S. following the 2024 presidential elections has made this strategy more viable.
Meetings with Fetch.ai’s CEO and German company SportsTech, which already uses AI in its products, further reinforced this decision.
The overarching strategy aims to integrate AI technology into the company’s products and implement a cost-effective, efficient approach for investors.
