Bullet Blockchain Announces Strategic Initiatives to Accelerate Growth and Cement Market Leadership

Globe and Mail05-08-2025
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bullet Blockchain, Inc. (OTC: BULT) ('Bullet Blockchain' or the 'Company'), the only U.S. company holding foundational patents for Bitcoin ATMs and one of only three publicly traded Bitcoin ATM network owner/operators, today announced a series of key strategic initiatives that management is pursuing to drive an aggressive expansion and align current and future stakeholders with the Company's long-term vision.
'We have a clear strategy to capitalize on the explosive growth of the crypto ATM market,' said Simon Rubin, CEO of Bullet Blockchain. 'Our primary focus is on four core pillars: (i) Expanding our operational footprint; (ii) Strengthening our leadership and governance; (iii) Securing the strategic capital necessary to fuel this growth; and, (iv) Forging strategic alliances for enhanced security and utility.
'These initiatives are designed to build a powerful foundation for Bullet Blockchain's future and reinforce our position as an industry innovator.'
The first of these pillars is focused on a multi-pronged approach to scaling the Company's physical presence and network capacity.
Expanding Our Operational Footprint
Bullet Blockchain is actively pursuing opportunities to dramatically accelerate the deployment of its Bitcoin ATM network (a/k/a/ 'crypto ATM network'). Building on a successful start, the company is now focused on a multi-pronged approach to scaling its operations. This includes exploring opportunities to acquire and deploy a significant number of new and refurbished crypto kiosks from both manufacturers and operators.
In tandem with this effort, management is in active discussions with a number of regional and national retail operators, including convenience stores and gas station chains, to secure distribution agreements. Such agreements would support a more rapid and strategic rollout of the Company's network, with the potential to significantly expand Bullet's presence across the country.
The Company is committed to upholding the highest standards of corporate governance, intellectual property protection, and market compliance. To support these imperatives, Bullet Blockchain is actively engaging with highly qualified individuals to enhance its executive team and Board of Directors. This includes seeking out specialists in intellectual property to advise on strategies for enforcing and leveraging the company's foundational patents, as well as interviewing qualified candidates to join the Board.
Further, management is actively seeking to engage new auditing firms with the intent of fast-tracking important compliance initiatives, signaling a clear path towards increased transparency and market status.
To execute its aggressive growth plan, Bullet Blockchain is strategically pursuing a number of capital formation opportunities. This includes sourcing low-cost credit facilities, short-term loans, and traditional equity financing. The company is also evaluating the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Treasury program to leverage future crypto acquisitions. Through these efforts, management has identified significant plausible capital resources to support its operations and fuel future growth.
Bullet Blockchain is actively building a comprehensive, secure, and user-centric ecosystem through strategic partnerships. These alliances are focused primarily on two endeavors. One is focused on enhancing the customer experience by providing advanced security solutions for digital assets and crypto wallets. The other is facilitating new use cases such as efficient international remittances and developing new technology offerings that create greater visibility and secondary revenue streams. These initiatives position the company not just as a Bitcoin ATM operator, but as a holistic provider of modern crypto-financial services, ultimately transforming the crypto kiosk from a single-purpose device into a multi-faceted hub for digital finance and commerce.
Building on a Vision of Proven Execution
These initiatives collectively form the framework for Bullet Blockchain's strategy to move from intent to execution. With its foundational patents [Nos. US9135787B1 & US10332205B1 ], and a clear roadmap for growth, management is confident in the Company's ability to generate significant value for stakeholders while establishing Bullet Blockchain as a trusted and innovative, global leader, in the crypto ATM market—intricately intertwined in the overall fabric of digital financial services and fintech.
Mr. Rubin, concluded, 'Our comprehensive strategy is built on a foundation of tangible pillars, not just ambition. We are committed to moving from strategic intent to proven execution, and we are confident that our roadmap will not only generate significant long-term value, but will also establish Bullet Blockchain as the definitive leader in both the traditional capital markets and digital financial services space.'
Bullet Blockchain's Intellectual Property
As previously announced, Bullet Blockchain acquired First Bitcoin Capital LLC, gaining ownership of an intellectual property portfolio that includes two Bitcoin ATM patents. By virtue of its subsidiary, First Bitcoin Capital LLC, Bullet Blockchain holds the exclusive rights to U.S. Patent Nos. US9135787B1 ('Bitcoin kiosk/ATM device and system integrating enrollment protocol and method of using the same') and US10332205B1 ('Bitcoin kiosk/ATM device and system and method of using the same'). These patents remain critical technologies for the operation and security of Bitcoin ATMs and their networks.
Bullet Blockchain continues to advance its licensing initiatives, offering operators and manufacturers a variety of partnership models including transaction-based fees and revenue-sharing opportunities centered around its intellectual property.

Prediction: 2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks That Will Be Worth More Than Nvidia by 2030

Key Points Nvidia has been the biggest beneficiary of AI spending among big tech companies. But Amazon and Meta Platforms are two tech giants seeing very strong results from investments in AI, and their future could be even brighter. Both trade at compelling valuations, especially compared to how expensive Nvidia has become. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Since October 2022, Nvidia has seen its value increase by more than $4 trillion. To put that into perspective, no other company is even worth $4 trillion today. The huge surge in value for the maker of graphics processing units (GPUs) stems from a few big tech companies spending hundreds of billions on its chips every year. The four biggest hyperscalers are set to spend around $380 billion on AI infrastructure this year, and they have guided for significant steps up in spending next year. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Nvidia is set to be the prime beneficiary of that increased spending for some time, but that doesn't mean the stock will continue to climb. Market prices are based on what investors expect in the future, and the expectations for Nvidia remain high. But two other AI stocks look like they could surpass investor expectations, pushing both companies to exceed Nvidia's value by 2030. Can Nvidia keep climbing from here? Continued growth in AI spending is giving investors more and more confidence that Nvidia can keep up its torrid sales growth. The three main public cloud providers all reiterated that demand exceeds computing capacity, which means they will continue to spend growing amounts to meet their customers' needs. Meanwhile, Nvidia is selling chips as fast as it can make them. That led to a 69% rise in revenue in the company's first quarter, and a 59% increase in adjusted income. But it's unlikely to see growth continue at this pace. All four hyperscalers are working on custom silicon solutions for their own AI training. Microsoft is reportedly planning to shift a significant portion of its spending to its Maia300 chip in late 2026. Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) is working on expanding the AI workloads that its custom Meta Training and Inference Accelerating (MTIA) chips can handle. And on top of all of that, AMD is starting to show progress in catching up to Nvidia, while continuing to offer excellent price performance. Investors should expect a significant slowdown in sales as Nvidia faces fierce competition for its share of data center servers and it battles with the law of large numbers. As supply-demand forces reach equilibrium, the chipmaker might not be able to command such high gross margins, either. That could weigh on earnings growth. But with the stock currently trading at more than 42 times forward earnings, investors seem to think those risks aren't going to materialize. I think it's more likely they will keep Nvidia from continuing to outperform the market at such a torrid pace, limiting how much more upside there is from here. If investors want to buy shares of a big tech company capitalizing on the growth of AI, the following two industry giants present better value with more upside. In fact, I expect they will both be worth more than Nvidia by 2030. 1. Amazon Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is the largest provider of public cloud computing in the world with Amazon Web Services (AWS), making it one of Nvidia's biggest customers. While the company was caught flat-footed as generative AI took off in 2022, management quickly caught up with the competition thanks in part to its investment in Anthropic. Management continues to see strong demand for its AI services, with revenue more than doubling year over year. However, AWS's scale has masked that strong growth. The cloud services segment generated $116 billion in revenue over the last 12 months. That's roughly 55% larger than its next closest competitor, Microsoft. But AWS's 17% year-over-year growth looks disappointing compared to Microsoft's 39% growth in cloud services last quarter. Nonetheless, Amazon has mostly kept its market share despite strong growth by its competitors. What's more important is that the margin profile on AWS is extremely strong. The operating margin of 36.8% over the last 12 months is up from 33.4% a year ago. And while it took a dip in the second quarter, that's due to the timing of share-based compensation. The long-term trend shows continued improvement in margins. Meanwhile, Amazon's retail business is becoming very profitable in its own right. The North American segment saw its operating margin climb to 7% last quarter while the international segment's margin came in at 3.4%. Strong top-line growth of 11% for both helped, which was bolstered by high-margin ad revenue growth of 22%. The long-term trends favor steady revenue growth across Amazon's businesses with particular strength in its high-margin operations (namely AWS and advertising). That should result in earnings growth well above average. And as its spending growth on AWS slows down, free cash flow should rise to new records by the end of the decade. That gives the company more opportunities to invest for growth, just as it has managed to do throughout its history. The stock currently looks attractive amid a small pullback in price. 2. Meta Platforms Meta is another major Nvidia customer, but unlike Amazon, it only uses Nvidia chips for its own AI needs. In fact, it might be spending more on its own AI needs than any other company in the world. And Meta's second-quarter results are a clear example of why it's willing to spend so much. Sales grew 22% last quarter, and its operating margin expanded 5 percentage points. For some perspective, that's faster revenue growth than both Snap and Pinterest despite being a much bigger force in social media advertising. Meta's AI capabilities are a clear reason for the outperformance. Artificial intelligence has led to better recommendations for both advertisements and organic content. As a result, the company served up more ads and was able to command higher pricing per ad impression. Meanwhile, it's seeing strong uptake of its generative AI tools for ad creation, which makes it easier for marketers to create and test new ideas. There are a number of other opportunities that AI could unlock. Those include AI chatbots for businesses in WhatsApp and Messenger, which could drive increased click-to-message ads in Facebook and Instagram. And management has said its Meta AI chatbot built into its apps now has 1 billion monthly active users, giving it yet another surface to monetize with ads. It only recently started showing ads in WhatsApp and Threads. That should give it room to grow supply as demand increases due to its generative AI tools making advertising easier. Lastly, Meta is at the forefront of development in augmented and virtual reality. AI can unlock a lot of value in an environment that's also aware of your surroundings. The company has already seen strong early adoption of its Meta Glasses with AI built in. Shares look very attractive with an enterprise value around 16 times forward estimates on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). While depreciation of its data centers will weigh on its margins, the company is proving the investments are paying off with very strong revenue growth and by unlocking a lot of potential profits in the long run.

Thinking of Buying Tesla Stock? Here Are 2 Red Flags to Watch

Key Points Tesla's heavy reliance on Elon Musk adds significant leadership risk. Increasing competition from established automakers and Chinese EV makers is pressuring Tesla's dominance. Investors need to be comfortable with Tesla's high valuation. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) has long been the front runner in the electric vehicle (EV) revolution in the U.S. Its innovation, brand strength, and rapid growth have made it a favorite among investors. Yet, despite its impressive track record, there are two big risks that investors should carefully consider before buying Tesla stock today. 1. The Elon Musk factor Elon Musk 's leadership is often cited as Tesla's greatest strength -- and, paradoxically, one of its most significant vulnerabilities. Musk's vision and hands-on approach have driven Tesla's technological breakthroughs and ambitious expansion. However, this heavy reliance on a single individual introduces what investors refer to as "key man risk." If Musk were to step back from daily operations or shift his focus to other projects, Tesla might face challenges in maintaining its momentum. Though Tesla's management team has grown stronger, few executives command the same vision, drive, and public attention as Musk. Recently, Musk's increasing involvement in political activities has raised concerns about potential distractions or reputational risks for Tesla. While the company has remained operationally strong, these developments underscore the uncertainty around its future leadership continuity. While Tesla's success lies not only with Musk but also with his team, which has executed well on his vision -- no one can build a trillion-dollar company alone -- there is still no clear successor (or a viable management team) . The silver lining here is that the Tesla board has become more serious about finding one in recent months, largely due to the CEO's active involvement in politics. For investors, this means that Tesla's fortunes remain closely tied to Musk's presence and decisions -- a factor that adds a layer of risk to the investment. 2. Intensifying competition Tesla might have been an early mover in the EV industry, but its dominance is no longer guaranteed. The industry landscape is rapidly evolving, with legacy automakers and new entrants accelerating their electric ambitions. Companies like Ford and General Motors are aggressively expanding their EV lineups. For instance, Ford plans to introduce a $30,000 midsize truck by 2027. That price is significantly lower than the average for an EV, and Ford is investing $5 billion in its EV production to make it happen. GM, on the other hand, is working hard on next-generation battery technologies to improve range, charging performance, and cost. Meanwhile, Chinese manufacturers such as BYD are growing their international footprints, particularly in Europe, where Tesla experienced a nearly 27% sales declinein July 2025. BYD's battery technology, government support, and competitive pricing make it a formidable challenger. In addition, a host of EV start-ups are innovating in battery tech, autonomous driving, and new business models, further intensifying competition. While Tesla is not sitting still -- it is working on becoming the lowest-cost producer by cutting prices to grow sales volume and achieve economies of scale -- there is no guarantee that it can maintain its market share over time. In short, it's no longer the only player in town. What does this mean for investors? Tesla's story remains compelling: It's a pioneer with a powerful brand, innovative products, and potential optionality with some of its long shot bets (robotaxi, humanoid robots, etc). But the key man risk surrounding Musk and the escalating competitive landscape are real concerns that investors can't ignore. If Tesla continues to innovate more rapidly than its rivals, the company could sustain its growth trajectory. However, any leadership changes or slips in market position could hurt the business and its share price. While these two risks don't necessarily call for the sale of the stock, they do mean that investors should think carefully before buying the stock today. Tesla stock trades at a significant premium valuation to other carmakers. For perspective, Tesla has a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 12.9, compared to GM's 0.3. Unless you're comfortable with the risks and the high valuation, buying the stock today may not be a prudent decision. Don't miss this second chance at a potentially lucrative opportunity Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you'll want to hear this. On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a 'Double Down' stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop. If you're worried you've already missed your chance to invest, now is the best time to buy before it's too late. And the numbers speak for themselves: Nvidia: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2009, you'd have $467,985!* Apple: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2008, you'd have $44,015!* Netflix: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2004, you'd have $668,155!* Right now, we're issuing 'Double Down' alerts for three incredible companies, available when you join Stock Advisor, and there may not be another chance like this anytime soon.

Virtual Flip Formula Launches Rebranded Mentorship Program for New Real Estate Wholesalers

Phoenix, Arizona--(Newsfile Corp. - August 17, 2025) - Virtual Flip Formula, a real estate education company founded by Tyson Smith, has announced the formal launch and rebranding of its mentorship-based training program for aspiring real estate wholesalers. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, the company provides remote coaching and support designed for individuals seeking to break into the real estate industry without the need to purchase or own property. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: A Streamlined Approach to Entry-Level Real Estate Business Models Virtual Flip Formula focuses on real estate wholesaling - a model where individuals earn fees by connecting property sellers with buyers. This approach allows participants to operate without purchasing real estate themselves, which makes the model accessible to those without substantial upfront capital. Rather than relying on traditional real estate investment strategies that require financing or ownership, Virtual Flip Formula provides an alternative route that emphasizes hustle, outreach, and structured negotiation. From Informal Demand to Structured Support The concept originated after founder Tyson Smith began receiving requests from his social media audience to share how he had built his wholesaling business. What began as informal guidance grew into a structured program featuring weekly coaching calls, digital tools, and peer support. "Once I saw the kind of life-changing results people were getting after learning the process, I knew there was an opportunity to build something more formal and supportive," said Tyson Smith, CEO of Virtual Flip Formula. The company initially launched in 2023 but underwent a rebrand and operational refinement in early 2025 to better align with the needs of its growing student base. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Program Designed for Accessibility and Sustainability The mentorship program includes weekly coaching sessions, operational frameworks, and guided exercises aimed at helping new wholesalers close their first deal. According to the company, the core objective is to take students from zero experience to generating consistent income through repeatable systems. "What sets our model apart is the focus on accessibility," said Smith."Most beginners don't have tens of thousands in capital to purchase real estate. With wholesaling, you don't need to. What you need is structure, support, and the discipline to take action." Building a Supportive Community of First-Time Wholesalers Looking ahead, Virtual Flip Formula plans to support over 1000 new wholesalers in closing their first deal within the next 12 to 24 months. Long-term, the company aspires to build a national community where students can share resources, partner on deals, and create business momentum together. "We're creating an environment where students aren't just learning from us - they're learning from each other," Smith noted."It's about building something that lasts beyond one course or one deal." About Virtual Flip Formula Virtual Flip Formula is a mentorship-based program designed to help beginners launch real estate wholesaling businesses. The company operates remotely and provides coaching, strategy, and support for aspiring entrepreneurs seeking a practical entry point into the real estate industry.
