The Albany Gazette - PartnerCap Securities Publishes Research Update on AI Financial Corporation's Strategic Repositioning

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 2026 / AI Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:AIFC)(FRA:5AR1) ("AiFi" or the "Company"), a leading fintech provider of global payments, trading, and settlement infrastructure for digital assets, today announced the availability of a research update on the Company published by PartnerCap Securities, LLC ("PartnerCap") under an issuer-sponsored research engagement.

The report is available on the Company's investor relations website at ir.aifi.co.

The report examines AiFi's strategic repositioning from its established digital asset payments, trading and settlement operations toward a broader platform spanning AI-native compute and data infrastructure, tokenization, secure data ownership and automated commerce. PartnerCap's analysis considers the roles of Block Street and Decentralized Technologies within that strategy, as well as the potential contributions of the Company's work with Nano Labs and SuperQ Quantum Computing.

PartnerCap maintains a Fundamental Buy rating and a $6.50 per-share price target on AiFi. The report applies a sum-of-the-parts perspective that considers the Company's operating fintech platform, digital asset holdings and non-core biotechnology assets, while also assessing the potential value creation associated with AiFi's broader strategic initiatives.

As part of its analysis, PartnerCap notes the Company's previously reported approximately $380 million of WLFI holdings, including more than $180 million described as currently available for collateral, staking or lending. The report also identifies the potential monetization of the Company's biotechnology assets and the development of recurring revenue across data infrastructure, tokenization and AI-native payments as possible sources of additional value.

Tony Isaac, President and Chief Executive Officer of AiFi, commented: "PartnerCap's valuation conclusion is directionally consistent with our previously stated view that AiFi's current market value does not fully reflect its underlying asset base and operating platform. The report provides investors with a structured framework for evaluating our core fintech operations, WLFI holdings and non-core biotechnology assets, while also considering the broader opportunity we see across tokenization, data infrastructure and AI-native commerce."

The report identifies product development, strategic partnerships, platform integration and greater financial clarity as important indicators for investors assessing execution. It also addresses integration, liquidity, governance and regulatory considerations associated with the Company's evolving strategy.

PartnerCap received compensation from the Company in connection with the issuer-sponsored research engagement. The views, estimates, ratings, price targets and conclusions expressed in the report are solely those of PartnerCap. Readers should review the report and its accompanying disclosures in their entirety.
