TaoWeave, formerly known as Oblong, says its long-term strategy is to accumulate Bittensor’s TAO token. Its latest filing shows the treasury flow moving the other way during the first half of 2026.
The company sold 3,959.23 TAO to fund operating expenses and manage liquidity. The sales raised $1.172 million and produced a $114,000 net realized loss. They occurred during the six months ended June 30 and were newly reported in the company’s Aug. 7 quarterly filing, rather than taking place on the filing date.
The disclosure marks a turn from the plan CryptoSlate reported in June 2025, when predecessor Oblong intended to direct most of a $7.5 million private placement toward acquiring TAO and supporting Bittensor.
TaoWeave held 23,335.18 TAO worth $4.709 million at June 30, about 69.5% of its $6.776 million in total assets. All of the holdings were staked through custodians BitGo and Kraken. The company did not hedge its TAO exposure and held no other digital assets, leaving its balance sheet concentrated in one volatile token.
Staking earned 728.97 TAO and generated $191,000 of revenue during the first half. TaoWeave also bought 1,900 TAO, but the 3,959.23-token sale still left its balance down 1,330.26 TAO, or 5.4%, from year-end.
Cash needs put the token balance at risk
TAO traded near $198 on Aug. 8, according to spot quotes from Coinbase and Kraken. Applying that price to the unchanged June 30 count would value the treasury at about $4.62 million, although TaoWeave has not confirmed its current token balance.
At June 30, TaoWeave held $735,000 in cash; it used $1.189 million in net operating cash during the first half. The company said it expects to sell more TAO from time to time as operating needs require, with the amount and timing depending on cash needs, market prices, and liquidity. It disclosed no scheduled sale.
TaoWeave also said it had no committed credit facility or other arrangement providing liquidity independent of its digital assets. That makes the number of tokens required for a given cash need sensitive to TAO’s market price.
If the first-half operating-cash-use pace persisted for the next 12 months, with no new financing or other cash inflows and TAO fixed at a rounded $198, the resulting $1.643 million gap after using June cash would require about 8,298 TAO. That would leave roughly 15,037 TAO, or 64.4% of the June balance, before new staking rewards.
This is a sensitivity, not a forecast. Revenue, working-capital changes, financing, purchases, future staking, and a different TAO price could all change the result.
Management said cash plus TAO converted to cash should fund operations and working capital for at least 12 months, while also acknowledging that more capital will be needed over the long term. That assessment tempers the liquidity risk but does not remove the conflict between funding the business and preserving the token balance its accumulation strategy is meant to grow.

The company expects further sales as needed, with no committed liquidity source independent of its digital assets.
