TaoWeave Expands Into Physical AI With Investment in Manako Labs and North American Commercialization Rights

Establishes TaoWeave’s First Operating Investment, Combining Equity Ownership, Commercialization Rights and Revenue Participation

DENVER & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TaoWeave, Inc. (Nasdaq: TWAV) today announced its entry into the emerging Physical AI market through an investment in Manako Labs Ltd. and a preferred North American commercialization partnership.

The transaction marks TaoWeave’s first operating investment in artificial intelligence and expands TaoWeave’s strategy beyond digital asset treasury activities into enterprise AI deployment, commercialization, and recurring operating revenue.

Under the agreements, TaoWeave has invested $1 million in Manako and will earn revenue generated through licensing agreements.

“Our experience in the Bittensor ecosystem has given us a unique perspective on where artificial intelligence is creating real world value,” said Pete Holst, Chief Executive Officer of TaoWeave. “Physical AI is one of the most compelling opportunities emerging in artificial intelligence. As we spent time with the Manako team, it became clear that they had built something special. The quality of the team, strength of the platform, and the size of the opportunity made this a natural partnership for TaoWeave.”

As AI moves beyond digital workflows and into factories, warehouses, transportation networks, and other operational environments, organizations need systems that can build an accurate understanding of the physical world and translate that understanding into action.

Most organizations already possess extensive camera infrastructure across their operations. Yet, the majority of data generated by those systems remains unused. Manako converts this data into actionable intelligence used to monitor activity, identify emerging issues, and automate operational workflows using hardware already deployed across customer facilities.

Industry research estimates the Physical AI market was valued at approximately $82 billion in 2025 and could approach $1 trillion by 2033.

“TaoWeave understood very early that the future of AI extends beyond software and into real-world businesses,” said Max Sebti, Chief Executive Officer of Manako Labs. “That’s why Physical AI is becoming such an important part of enterprise AI. TaoWeave is an ideal commercialization partner to accelerate our expansion in North America, the world’s largest market for AI adoption.”

TaoWeave entered the Bittensor ecosystem to gain exposure to emerging AI technologies. The company subsequently identified a larger opportunity in owning, operating, and commercializing AI businesses. Manako operates Score (Subnet 44), one of the leading subnets within the Bittensor network. This investment marks TaoWeave’s first operating platform investment and the beginning of its expansion into AI commercialization.

Manako recently won first place at Start In Block, the flagship startup competition held during Paris Blockchain Week, where it was selected from more than 1,000 applicants worldwide.

In addition to commercialization rights and revenue participation, the agreement provides a pathway for TaoWeave to develop proprietary AI infrastructure within the broader Bittensor ecosystem. Together, these capabilities position the Company to participate in the creation, commercialization, and operation of Physical AI technologies as adoption accelerates across enterprise markets.
