Liberty Defense is Pleased to Announce that it has Received a Multi Unit HEXWAVE Order to Screen Aviation Workers for a growing US International Airport
WILMINGTON, Mass., June 17, 2025 — Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. (' Liberty ' or the ' Company ') (TSXV:SCAN, OTCQB:LDDFF), a leading technology provider of AI-based next generation detection solutions for concealed weapons and threats, is pleased to announce that its HEXWAVE system was selected by another US International Airport to screen aviation workers as part of the new TSA Mandate on Employee Screening.
In April 2023, a mandate was issued requiring U.S. airports to adopt physical screening procedures for employees with access to secure-side areas of the airport. The mandate was further reinforced by a U.S. Court of Appeals decision denying airports the ability to delay the screening process. All major airports will be required to deploy screening technology by April 2026 to meet the 100% screening mandate. To implement screening for aviation workers, airports will need technologies that provide a broad range of threat detection that can meet the current screening requirements and those mandated for the future.
The HEXWAVE was selected by the airport following a competitive tender process. The order was received through our partner and distributor Point Security Inc., a recognized leader in the US security screening industry for sales, and more importantly excellent service and support.
HEXWAVE uses millimeter wave, advanced 3D imaging and AI to detect concealed metallic and non-metallic threats and other prohibited items. The system allows for rapid, automated screening using a high-throughput, contactless, walkthrough portal to detect liquid, powder and plastic explosives, 3D printed ghost guns and other contraband.
'We're honored to receive this award and to expand our footprint at U.S. airports through the Aviation Worker Screening Program,' said Liberty CEO Bill Frain. 'HEXWAVE has demonstrated its effectiveness across airports of all sizes. Its mobility and flexible configurations make it a strong fit for facilities working to meet the airports screening requirements. Ultimately, our mission is to enhance airport security by detecting both metallic and non-metallic threats—something millimeter wave technology does exceptionally well. We believe HEXWAVE is well positioned to become the preferred solution nationwide as airports implement this mandate.'

3 Stocks That Could Create Lasting Generational Wealth
Creating lasting generational wealth is no sure thing, no matter where you put your money. Still, there are investments you can make that are more likely to do better than others because the companies have significant competitive advantages over their peers. Three stocks that fit this description right now are Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST), and Berkshire Hathawa y (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B). Here's why each one is worth considering when building a long-lasting portfolio. 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 » 1. Amazon Amazon stock may not get as much attention these days as some high-flying artificial intelligence (AI) stocks, but the company's dominance in both e-commerce and cloud computing -- along with its expanding advertising business -- should push Amazon to the top of your buy list. First, consider that Amazon has about 38% of the U.S. e-commerce market, easily outpacing its next closest competitor, Walmart, which has just over 6% of the market. Amazon has little to worry about as well, with the company currently having about 180 million Prime members in the U.S., who enjoy free shipping and a long list of free services like music and video streaming. And that's not where Amazon's market lead ends. The company is also the largest cloud computing player, with its Amazon Web Services (AWS) business. AWS brought in $11.5 billion in operating income for Amazon in the first quarter, nearly double what the company's U.S. e-commerce platform earned. What's more, Amazon has become an advertising juggernaut. Ad sales reached nearly $14 billion in the first quarter, up 18%. Amazon enjoys a unique position in the ad space because its sales come from sellers placing ads directly on its e-commerce platform or through its video streaming service. This makes its ad revenue the icing on the cake for its already lucrative services. 2. Costco Costco makes it on this list because the company consistently offers value to its customers -- and they keep coming back for more. Costco has 140.6 million cardholders right now, an increase of nearly 7% from the same time last year, and its membership renewal is an enviable 93%. American consumers have fluctuated back and forth between being very concerned about the state of the economy when tariffs were first announced, but have recently regained some optimism. Similarly, some of the most pessimistic forecasts for a potential recession this year have been walked back, with J.P. Morgan lowering the odds from 60% down to 40% now. But no matter what happens with the economy, Costco customers of all income levels seem to be drawn to the store for its value. More than one-third of the company's customers have household incomes above $125,000, a notable figure that could mean Costco could weather an economic downturn thanks to these higher earners. It's worth mentioning, too, that when consumer sentiment was low earlier this year, Costco's sales still increased 8% in the first quarter, to $62 billion. With its high retention rate, appeal to higher-income households, and its resilience even when the economy is uncertain, Costco has all the right pieces in place to continue being a great stock to hold onto for years to come. 3. Berkshire Hathaway With legendary investor Warren Buffett recently announcing he's stepping away as Berkshire Hathaway 's CEO at the end of this year (he's 94), some investors are no doubt wondering if the company can continue to be a great investment. But there are plenty of things that are working in Berkshire's favor. First, consider that Berkshire is a very well-diversified conglomerate of more than 60 businesses. This means that these companies will continue to function under their current leadership, no matter if Buffett is Berkshire's CEO or not. What's more, Berkshire also benefits from its portfolio of more than 30 stocks with investments totaling about $280 billion. This massive portfolio will continue to be in good hands after Buffett retires, with longtime Berkshire leadership, who've worked under Buffett since about 2010, stepping into the investment roles. And finally, Berkshire has a very substantial $348 billion in cash and cash equivalents, giving the company's upcoming CEO -- longtime executive Greg Abel -- plenty of options at his disposal to continue growing the company. No one likes change, of course, but when you add up all of the above, Berkshire is well-positioned to move into its post-Buffett future. Should you invest $1,000 in Amazon right now?

The No. 1 Holding on Robinhood Is Expected to Soar by 646%, According to a Prominent Money Manager (and It's Not Nvidia or Apple!)
Though online trading was possible for institutional investors in the 1980s, it wasn't until the proliferation of the internet in the mid-1990s that the ability to buy and sell stocks became commonplace for everyday investors. While institutional investing, which includes high-frequency trading, still accounts for a majority of trading activity on Wall Street, retail investors are becoming an increasingly larger piece of the pie -- and brokerages have taken notice. 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 » Among the long list of online brokerages, none has catered to the retail investing crowd quite like Robinhood. The ability to make fractional-share purchases, buy stocks with no commission fees, and receive free shares of stock upon signing up for and funding an account, have made Robinhood particularly popular among retail investors. But one of the most intriguing aspects of Robinhood's platform is its "100 Most Popular" list, which details which stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are most commonly held by Robinhood customers. It's a regularly updated melting pot of retail investor thoughts and emotions. Although tech stocks Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) once topped the pedestal as respective No. 1 holdings on Robinhood, they've both been supplanted by a brand-name artificial intelligence (AI) stock that's expected to increase in value by 646% over the next four years, according to a well-known fund manager. Apple and Nvidia are no longer the top holding for Robinhood's retail investors It's not hard to understand why Apple and Nvidia once topped the ranks on Robinhood. Apple has been on the leading edge of the innovative curve for more than a decade. The company's iPhone revolutionized smartphones, with iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch also in high demand and resonating with consumers. Apple also boasts the largest share-repurchase program on the planet among public companies. Since 2013, Apple has bought back approximately $775 billion worth of its common stock, which works out to more than 43% of its outstanding shares. Aggressively buying back its stock has provided a lift to its earnings per share (EPS) and made its stock more attractive to value-focused investors, like billionaire Warren Buffett. Meanwhile, Nvidia established itself as the face of the AI revolution. Its Hopper (H100) and successor Blackwell graphics processing units (GPUs) make up the bulk of GPUs currently deployed in AI-accelerated data centers. With demand for Nvidia's hardware outpacing supply, the company has been able to charge a premium for its GPUs and meaningfully boost its gross margin. Nvidia can't be topped in the AI-GPU innovation column, either. CEO Jensen Huang is overseeing an ambitious plan to bring a new advanced chip to market each year. This implies Nvidia won't have any trouble maintaining its compute advantages over direct rivals. But there are also clear reasons for Apple and Nvidia to fall to the respective No. 2 and No. 3 spots on Robinhood's "100 Most Popular" list, as of this writing on June 23. For Apple, it's the company's lack of growth. Between fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2024 (Apple's fiscal year ends in late September), Apple's net income fell from $99.8 billon to $93.7 billion, with net sales meandering lower from $394.3 billion to $391 billion. Even though the company is still a cash cow, its physical product sales have declined and there's not been much in the way of innovative momentum. Nvidia has potential red flags, too. Aside from increasing external and internal competition, as well as export restrictions to China, which is a key customer for Nvidia, the company is contending with historical precedent. Every next-big-thing technology for more than three decades (which includes the internet) has endured a bubble-bursting event. Nothing suggests AI will be an exception to this unwritten rule, which bodes poorly for Nvidia. Retail investors' favorite stock on Robinhood is an industry leader The brand-name artificial intelligence stock that's blown past Apple and Nvidia to become the most widely held of all securities on Robinhood is none other than electric-vehicle (EV) maker Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). This is a stock that Ark Invest's Cathie Wood believes will reach $2,600 per share by 2029, which would place its upside at a cool 646%, based on its closing price of $348.68 per share on June 23. Wood became a popular money manager to follow during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the Ark Innovation ETF more than quadrupling in value between the March 2020 lows and its peak during January 2021. Cathie Wood's upside thesis on Tesla revolves around big-time growth in the company's Ai-driven robotaxi operations. By 2029, Ark Invest believes 63% of the company's estimated $1.2 trillion in annual sales will come from robotaxis, with 86% of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) attributable to robotaxis. Beyond Wood's lofty price target, retail investors also seem to appreciate Tesla's push to become more than just an EV company. Over the trailing four quarters (ended March 31, 2025), it's generated close to $11.2 billion in sales from energy generation and storage. This segment should help to minimize the cyclical ebbs and flows that come with being an auto stock. Furthermore, Tesla shareholders tend to believe in CEO Elon Musk's vision. Though Musk is anything but conventional, he's brought multiple EVs to market, pivoted Tesla toward energy products, helped deliver five years of recurring profits, and is overseeing the launch of his company's robotaxi service in Austin, Texas. However, the No. 1 holding of retail investors on Robinhood is anything but a slam-dunk investment. One of the primary issues with Tesla and its CEO is that there's a heavy emphasis on promises and innovation and very little in the way of actual execution. For example, Musk has been promising Level 5 autonomy "next year" for 11 straight years, yet his company hasn't moved past Level 2 autonomy. Additionally, Tesla's robotaxi service is limited to just 10 vehicles and is being geofenced to a small area in Austin since its technology remains unproven. Beyond promises not kept, Tesla's vehicle margin has plummeted as competition has picked up. Musk has previously noted that his EVs are priced according to consumer demand. With more than a half-dozen sweeping price cuts on Model's 3, S, X, and Y over the last two years, it's evident Tesla's first-mover advantages are waning. There's also a valuation argument that suggests Tesla stock can plunge. Whereas most auto stocks trade at high-single-digit forward-earnings multiples, Musk's company is valued at 121 times estimated EPS in 2026. Even though Tesla's EPS is on track to have declined by 39% (based on estimates) from 2022 through 2026, its shares are up 183% since the end of 2022. This makes no sense whatsoever and suggests Tesla stock has become widely detached from its underlying operating performance. Rarely do these detachments last for extended periods. 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 $383,569!* Apple: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2008, you'd have $38,025!* Netflix: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2004, you'd have $689,813!* 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. *Stock Advisor returns as of June 23, 2025

HIVE Achieves FY2025 Total Revenue of $115.3 Million and $56.2 Million Adjusted EBITDA with 1,414 Bitcoin Mined and 3x Growth in AI GPU Revenue
This news release constitutes a "designated news release" for the purposes of the Company's amended and restated prospectus supplement dated May 14, 2025, to its short form base shelf prospectus dated September 11, 2024. San Antonio, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - June 26, 2025) - HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: HIVE) (NASDAQ: HIVE) (FSE: YO0) (referred to as the "Company" or "HIVE"), a global leader in sustainable data center infrastructure, announces its results for the full year ended March 31, 2025 (all amounts in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated). FY2025 Financial Highlights: Total Revenue: $115.3 million, from digital currency mining and high-performance computing (HPC) hosting services. Digital currency mining revenue: $105.2 million, down 5.2% year-over-year mainly due to the April 2024 Bitcoin Halving and increased hash rate difficulty, mostly offset by 40% higher digital currency mining hashrate (from 4.5 EH/s at end of March 2024 to 6.3 EH/s at end of March 2025) and higher Bitcoin prices. HPC/AI Cloud Revenue: $10.1 million, representing approximately 3x growth year-over-year ($3.4 million FY2024), mainly due to expansion of GPU fleet earning AI Compute revenue, driven by strong demand for high-performance computing markets. Bitcoin Production: Mined 1,414 Bitcoin during the fiscal year, which contributed to HIVE's HODL position. Gross Operating Margins: $25.1 million in gross operating margin or 21.8%. G&A: $16.6 million, up from $13.2 million in FY2024 primarily as a result of increased staff to support HIVE's global expansion in digital currency mining, particularly in Paraguay (representing 3x growth from 140 megawatts ("MW") to 440 MW of digital asset infrastructure), and the growth of its BUZZ HPC business (with the number of GPUs growing to over 5,000). Net Income: US GAAP net loss of $3.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA 1: $56.2 million in Adjusted EBITDA or 48.7% of total revenue. Digital Assets: Total digital currency assets valued at $181.1 million at the ended the fiscal year on March 31, 2025, including 2,201 Bitcoin. Management Insights Frank Holmes, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of HIVE, commented, "In Fiscal 2025, we continued our track record of disciplined growth. We expanded our operational hashrate from approximately 4.5 EH/s in March 31, 2024 to 6.3 EH/s in March 31 2025—a 40% increase achieved even as the post-halving landscape compressed industry economics. Further, we acquired 300 MW of hydro-powered green-energy sites in Paraguay that management believes has deepened our leadership bench with visionaries like Lieutenant General (Ret.) John R. Evans Jr, Gabriel Lamas, and cloud-computing pioneer Craig Tavares and will transform HIVE's growth in both the mining and HPC businesses. We are extremely excited about the remainder of this year as we scale our Bitcoin mining business to the Company's goal of 25 EH/s by December 31, 2025 and continue the strong growth in our Buzz HPC Business. I'd like to thank our dedicated employees and shareholders for their continued support. Looking forward, our mandate remains the same as it always has been: compound strong shareholder value through disciplined, high-return on invested capital ("ROIC") growth powered by green energy." Aydin Kilic, President & CEO of HIVE, stated, "The foundation we set in Fiscal 2025 with the acquisition of our 100 MW site in Valenzuela, Paraguay and the 200 MW site in Yguazú, Paraguay has set the stage for what management believes will be the most transformative chapter in HIVE's history. Since the end of Fiscal 2025, HIVE commissioned the first 100 MW at Yguazú two weeks ahead of its projected schedule, which nearly doubled our hashrate to 11.5 EH/s as of today, with 5.5 Bitcoin being produced daily. The announced exahash growth with the Paraguay expansions and the continued growth path for our Buzz HPC division, gives HIVE two high-revenue engines of growth. With Paraguay ramping weekly, new Bitmain S21+ Hydro machines, and our diversified infrastructure strategy firmly in place, management's focuses are driving lower production costs, expanding cash flow, and delivering sustainable long-term value for our shareholders, all while maintaining our green energy focused strategy. We have been strong in the sector when it comes to ROIC as well, with 22% ROIC achieved over the past 12 months, while keeping low general and administrative expenses per Bitcoin mined as well. I am incredibly proud of our team. 2025 is a transformative year for HIVE." Darcy Daubaras, CFO of HIVE, added, "This reporting period marks a significant milestone for our Company as we have transitioned our financial reporting framework from IFRS to US GAAP. This change aligns with our strategic objectives, enhances comparability with U.S.-listed peers, and supports our potential growth ambitions in U.S. capital markets. We remain committed to transparency and will continue to provide clear, consistent reporting as we move forward. With every megawatt and associated mining hardware for our 300 MW Paraguay expansion now fully funded, we are excited to be on track to deliver our target of 25 EH/s by US Thanksgiving—more than quadrupling our hashrate from March 2025. We believe the scale and efficiency gains from this expansion will significantly enhance our unit economics and drive significant shareholder returns. The initiatives launched in Fiscal 2025 represent the beginning of HIVE's transformation from a modest digital mining company into a globally scaled, sustainability-focused leader in Bitcoin infrastructure." The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) thereon for the three months and year ended March 31, 2025 will be accessible on SEDAR+ at under HIVE's profile and on the Company's website at Q4 FY2025 Financial Highlights: Total Revenue: $31.2 million, from digital currency mining and high-performance computing (HPC) hosting services. Digital currency mining revenue: $28.1 million, up 5.5% sequentially from fiscal Q3 2025 mainly due higher average digital currency mining hashrate (from 5.4 EH/s in fiscal Q3 2025 to 5.9 EH/s in fiscal Q4 2025) and slightly higher Bitcoin prices. G&A: $5.3 million, up slightly from $4.6 million in Q3 FY2025 primarily as a result of increased staff to support HIVE's global expansion in digital currency mining, particularly in Paraguay, and the growth of its BUZZ HPC business. Bitcoin Production: Mined 303 Bitcoin, down 6% sequentially from fiscal Q3 2025 due to increased hashrate difficulty. HPC Revenue: Buzz HPC revenue was a record $3.0 million during the quarter, up 18.5% sequentially, driven by strong demand for high-performance computing markets. Gross Operating Margins: $8.8 million in gross operating margin or 28.2%. Net Income: GAAP net loss of $52.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA 1: ($30.7) million in Adjusted EBITDA primarily due to quarter end non-cash revaluation 2 of ($26.4) million digital currencies held on balance sheet as a result of lower quarter end spot Bitcoin price. Since March 31, 2025, Bitcoin price has recovered to approximately $101,000 as of the date of this report. In addition, the Company recorded a $6.7 million non-cash, unrealized loss related to its equity investments.

The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law.
