Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 18, 2025) - SonicStrategy Inc., the blockchain infrastructure subsidiary of Spetz Inc. (CSE: SPTZ) (OTCQB: DBKSF) a publicly traded infrastructure company focused on the Sonic blockchain, is pleased to announce the successful launch of its second institutional-grade validator on the Sonic network.

SonicStrategy's new validator is built on enterprise-grade hardware designed for speed, reliability, and security. Each validator node runs on servers equipped with multi-core CPUs, 32-128 GB of memory, and fast NVMe storage exceeding 1 TB to handle Sonic's high throughput. Nodes are deployed in secure data centers with redundant power and 1 Gbps network connectivity, ensuring consistent performance and uptime.

The new validator, launched on September 16, 2025, has been seeded with 126.6 million Sonic tokens ($S) directly from the Company treasury, instantly making it the largest self-stake validator on the network and the 3rd largest by total stake, according to SonicScan.org. Together with SonicStrategy's existing validator, currently ranked #12 as of this release, the Company now operates two of the largest validators in the Sonic ecosystem.

In total, SonicStrategy holds 135 million $S tokens directly. Every $0.01 change in the price of $S results in an approximate $1.86 million CAD change, upward or downward, in the Company's balance sheet value. In addition, the Company's two validators are generating approximately $7,500 in daily staking rewards, equivalent to an annualized revenue run-rate of roughly $2.7 million CAD at current prices. Actual earnings are subject to token price fluctuations, validator operating costs, and other expenses.

SonicStrategy's validator operations generate daily staking rewards that flow directly into the Company's treasury. SonicStrategy currently earns ~4.24% annually of staked tokens and 15% of the rewards earned by delegators on the SonicStrategy validators. These earnings provide recurring and compounding revenue for the Company while reinforcing the security and decentralization of the Sonic network.

"Launching our second validator with over 126.6 million Sonic staked is a major step in scaling our infrastructure footprint," said Mitchell Demeter, CEO of SonicStrategy. "Becoming the largest self-staked validator strengthens our credibility with third-party delegators and maximizes our revenue opportunities by gaining more delegators. Operating both the 3rd and 12th largest overall validators underscores our role as a cornerstone participant in the Sonic ecosystem while generating meaningful on-chain earnings that support our treasury growth."

By operating multiple large validators, SonicStrategy:

• Strengthens its role in securing and decentralizing the Sonic blockchain
• Generates predictable, recurring yield from validator rewards
• Expands its visibility and influence within the Sonic ecosystem
• Reinforces its position as the only publicly traded company providing direct institutional access to Sonic validator economics
