A joint venture between ISW Holdings (OTC: ISWH), a holding company of diversified partnerships, and Bit5ive LLC., a global leader in cryptocurrency mining, has expanded ISWH’s product portfolio to include some of the most innovative mining tech available in the global market. In exchange, Bit5ive receives the full range of ISWH’s services to assist in running a profitable and efficient project that will take full advantage of the quickly growing global cryptocurrency mining hardware market. Bit5ive sells, hosts and supports the most advanced cryptocurrency hardware available on the global market and is quickly becoming the most prominent U.S.-based company in cryptocurrency mining and bitcoin farming. The company produces the most efficient crypto mining infrastructure solution available and is the official distribution partner of Bitmain, the global leader in crypto mining equipment. “The timing of the deal looks great from a macro standpoint given signals we are seeing that point to cyclical strength in demand for crypto mining hardware and resources after the space was washed out by the bear market in coin prices in 2018,” wrote Alonzo Pierce, ISWH president and chairman \in a letter to shareholders (https://ibn.fm/89LII). “We have started to see a growing number of deals in recent weeks that point to a strong tailwind as we begin to position ISW in the thick of that market this summer.” Valued at $610 million in 2016, the mining market is projected to exceed $38 billion by 2025 (https://ibn.fm/188vO). For the last two years, ISWH has seen steady growth on a year-over-year basis. This growth is attributed primarily to the company’s TeleHealth and Home Healthcare Division.

ISWH has a reputation of creating successful companies and partnerships in disruptive industries. The company uses strategic expertise to establish small and medium-sized market-leading companies in highly relevant sectors. Using software innovation and ISWH resources, the companies can scale up and achieve optimal success. “We are at the bottom of the hockey stick as far as growth potential, with a clean bill of health on the balance sheet and major new non-dilutive funding providing us with a strong capital foundation to continue aggressive expansion in cryptocurrency mining and mining equipment,” said Pierce (https://ibn.fm/oDO6S). “We also continue to expand in our telehealth and home healthcare operations, which provide strong and steady cash flows as our mining segment gets up to full speed. We are focused on staying aggressive and maintaining a shareholder-friendly posture each step of the way.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.ISWHoldings.com.

• Advancement means patent examiner will be assigned to review filing
• TAAT CEO notes that IP protection afforded by patent on Beyond Tobacco base material could improve company’s competitive position
• The filing intended to protect proprietary refinement technique that characterizes both TAAT and its Beyond Tobacco base material

TAAT(TM) Global Alternatives (CSE: TAAT) (OTCQX: TOBAF) (FRANKFURT: 2TP2) is a step closer to being the patent owner of a game-changing process that causes Beyond Tobacco(TM) to taste and smell much like the real thing. The company’s patent filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office has been advanced to nonprovisional status, with the assignment of a patent examiner currently pending (https://ibn.fm/YVHfh). “The intellectual property protection afforded by a patent on the Beyond Tobacco base material of TAAT(TM) could improve our competitive position in the tobacco industry,” said TAAT CEO Setti Coscarella. “Aside from the fact that it would be more difficult for competitors to imitate our product, it would be more practical for us to manufacture Beyond Tobacco using third-party producers instead of producing only in-house, which we currently do because the process is a trade secret. We are pleased to have advanced this process in line with standard timeframes for U.S. patent applications, and we look forward to undertaking the steps to finalize this patent, which we believe can strengthen TAAT as a competitive product and a uniquely better choice for smokers aged 21+.” TAAT filed the original provisional patent in September 2020. The filing is intended to protect the company’s proprietary refinement technique that characterizes both TAAT and its Beyond Tobacco base material. The technique is at the center of the company’s ability to offer its flagship product. Available in Original, Smooth and Menthol, TAAT the product provides smokers with a tobacco-free and nicotine-free alternative that still offers the sensation of smoking. TAAT was initially made available for retail sale throughout Ohio in October 2020; the innovative product was offered through TAAT’s online portal beginning in February 2021. Response to the product has been impressive with purchase orders steadily increasing and users reporting satisfaction with the product’s experiential similarity to that of smoking a tobacco cigarette. “As the company continues its efforts to build market share in the $814 billion global tobacco industry, patents can play an important role in its ability to establish a market position and preserve the competitive advantages that can be had from patent protection,” the announcement noted. “Incumbent firms in the tobacco industry are among the world’s top patent filers, with Philip Morris International and Japan Tobacco International having been listed in the 100 Top Patent Filers by the European Patent Office in 2016 and 2019, respectively. The next step for the company’s patent filing involves an examiner reviewing TAAT’s claims and potentially granting a United States patent based on the findings. TAAT Lifestyle and Wellness has developed TAAT, a tobacco-free and nicotine-free alternative to traditional cigarettes available in Original, Smooth and Menthol varieties. TAAT’s base material is Beyond Tobacco(TM), a proprietary blend that undergoes a patent-pending refinement technique causing its scent and taste to resemble tobacco. Under executive leadership with Big Tobacco pedigree, TAAT was launched first in the United States in Q4 2020 as the company seeks to position itself in the $814 billion global tobacco industry.

• PlantX Life positions itself as a leading platform for everything plant-based
• For PlantX Life, a plant-based lifestyle is more than a diet; it includes a plant shop bringing affordable indoor houseplants with health benefits to homes across Canada and the US
• The Company appears well-positioned to leverage rapid growth of the indoor houseplant market as increasingly health-aware consumers seek more connection to nature

PlantX Life (CSE: VEGA) (Frankfurt: WNT1) (OTCQB: PLTXF) is a high-growth technology company delivering plant-based consumer-packaged goods for consumers in North America. As a multifaceted marketplace offering all things plant-based, the Company’s assortment includes plant-based grocery items, meal delivery, and plant shop. The Company believes that a plant-based lifestyle is much more than just a diet — it is an opportunity to connect to nature and each other and create a kinder and cruelty-free future for everyone on the planet. Focused on all things health and wellness, the plant shop is a big part of that ecosystem. Through its plant shop, PlantX Life is delivering a wide selection of affordable indoor houseplants as well as accessories and gifts to homes across Canada and the US as consumers — growing increasingly health and wellness aware — seek more connection to nature. With sales surging by 50% between 2016 and 2019 (https://ibn.fm/XVzs4), the indoor plants market was on the rise before the pandemic, but the virus outbreak propelled it to new heights. Confined to their homes for most of the previous year, consumers sought to connect with nature in a way that is not possible in the increasingly screen-based world. For people more aware of the importance of mental health and self-care than ever, plants have become a proven home companion that helps reduce stress levels and improve mood. Never was it more pronounced than during the lockdown. A study revealed that indoor plants correlated with emotional well-being during the COVID-19 confinement for 74% of survey respondents (https://ibn.fm/ZZ5TU). It comes as no surprise that house plant sales ballooned since the very beginning of the pandemic (https://ibn.fm/uosL7). The Company offers nearly 200 varieties of houseplants that can provide consumers with unique mental and physical health benefits (https://ibn.fm/8wRMI). This living decoration brings tranquility and helps boost mood as they give a sense of accomplishment. Plants can also improve the quality of the air and help people be more productive. Some varieties can even help with allergies. (https://ibn.fm/iR89d). PlantX Life plant shop aims to cater to novice gardening enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike. For each indoor plant item, the platform supplies information about the specific houseplant species, availability across different sizes, care instructions and how it affects pets and children. Consumers can select plants across various categories, including air-purifying, easy to care for, immune boosting, and pet friendly. PlantX Life’s website offers a wealth of educational information for consumers helping them learn about the health and wellness benefits of plants, how to care for them and how they can elevate their lives. Appealing to the modern time-strapped consumer that seeks to cut down on screen-time and immerse themselves in nature, plants provide something relatively low-maintenance to nurture that is also easy on their wallet. PlantX Life is here to be their trusting companion along that journey with its plant shop that brings new plant-based experiences to consumers across North America.

• “Perpetual Industries is designed to be an incubator for those ideas of innovation that will make things better in our lives,” says CEO
• PRPI currently focused on developing XYO proprietary balancing technology
• XYO ready for commercialization; company developing a vertical axis wind turbine and a domestic washing machine

Perpetual Industries’ (OTC: PRPI) CEO Brent Bedford was featured in a recent video that provided an overview of PRPI’s business strategy, as well as a closer look at two projects the company is involved in (https://ibn.fm/liD1w). PRPI is designed to be an incubator for the development of innovative, energy-efficient technologies aimed at commercializing products that have the potential to impact and advance a wide range of industries on a global scale. “Everybody knows somebody that is a crazy inventor out there, right?” said Bedford during the video, now available on the company’s YouTube channel. “They know how to invent stuff, but they don’t know what to do with it after that. Perpetual Industries is designed to be an incubator for those ideas of innovation that will make things better in our lives. We are positioned to help those types of projects become a reality — that’s really what we’re all about.” Bedford noted that the company is particularly focused on energy-efficient inventions designed to be environmentally responsible and sustainable. Currently, one main company focus is its proprietary balancing technology. “We have a foundation technology that is a mechanical balancing device, called the XYO mechanical technology,” Bedford said. “What that does is balance everything that rotates.” The company optimized the technology by balancing rotating devices to reduce vibration, which creates significant wear and tear on devices. “What we found through all our testing is that by reducing vibration and making something operate in perfect balance, it actually becomes more energy efficient,” Bedford observed. “Vibration is wasted energy — the noise, heat, buildup. By putting it into perfect balance, we found that it uses less energy, less electricity, or less gas,” which allows for a more environmentally responsible product. The technology has almost limitless potential with the sheer number of devices that rotate, from fans, compressors and washing machines to airplane engines, electric motors, drive shafts and more. “It’s a core technology that we’ve developed and completed the R&D, and now we’re at the stage to commercialize it in certain industries,” the CEO said. Bedford went on to explain that Perpetual Industries has currently opted to concentrate on two main projects for its XYO technology: the WindSilo, an innovative turbine design engineered to allow for faster spin speeds and greater energy output, and an OEM-manufactured, XYO-enhanced domestic washing machine that uses the XYO Mechanical Balancers to dynamically compensate for variable mass imbalance during the spin cycle (https://ibn.fm/kPxBK). “The XYO Mechanical Balancing Technology delivers energy-efficient, high-performance solutions for rotating equipment, machinery and devices,” said Bedford (https://ibn.fm/1MML4). “XYO is a proprietary technology, and the market potential is virtually limitless.” Perpetual Industries is an incubator for the development of new and innovative energy-efficient technologies. The company’s mission is to “perpetuate industry” by bringing value-added technologies to market. The company is expanding its expertise and knowledge of energy-efficient technology by developing low-cost, green-energy-powered solutions for a variety of industries while continuing its research, development and commercialization of the XYO Technology in key applications.

• The price of Ether currency has been driven up by the growing popularity of non-fungible tokens.
• BAND Royalty’s NFT Series 1 has had a successful pre-sale to the tune of almost $1 million dollars, with just 3 NFTs selling for $200,000. The BAND NFTs are based on a rarity curve, with the least rare starting at 1 ETH (approximately $3,442.39).
• Eventually BAND NFTs will be able to put in one of several music royalty pools to stake for an opportunity to share in 50% of the royalty income brought in by various music royalties.
• Company has plans to release a BAND Token in an IEO with LATOKEN in the next 60 days.

The global cryptocurrency sector has been increasing exponentially, with various types of cryptocurrencies available on the market steadily increasing in value and popularity. Valued at $754 million in 2019, the market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 11.2% over the 2020-2027 forecast period, resulting in an estimated $1.8 billion (https://ibn.fm/mWyDg). A cryptocurrency that has seen significant growth recently is Ether, the currency of Ethereum, a blockchain-based computer network. As a result of recent developments in the crypto world, Ether is now the second-largest cryptocurrency behind Bitcoin. The price of Ether has been driven up by the explosion of NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, as well as the fast-growing decentralized finance market (https://ibn.fm/HScvY). According to information obtained by the data-tracking site NonFungible, the total NFT sales on the Ethereum network jumped to $2 billion during the first quarter, after closing at $94 million in the prior quarter. Taking advantage of this unprecedented growth and new market opportunities emerging as a result, entertainment tech company BAND Royalty set out to create an NFT music ecosystem aimed at revolutionizing the music industry while also giving fans a chance to share in the royalties of their favorite music. The company’s NFTs, hosted on the Ethereum blockchain, are a special type of NFT that will be able to be staked in any one of three BAND Royalty Music Pools. Once staked, the owner of the particular NFT can receive a portion of all royalty streaming income from each track for each royalty pool category. BAND’s royalty pools feature a performance music catalog with tracks from some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Beyonce, Jay-Z, Cher, Timbaland, Rihanna, and more. BAND NFTs enable the holders the ability to earn every time that the track is performed based on the respective royalty pool. BAND Series 1 of NFTs will be available for sale directly on their website, www.BandRoyalty.com, in their own NFT Marketplace. A pre-sale of the NFTs was introduced for their telegram members only on May 5, 2021, with over $1 million in BAND NFTs sold. Series 1 features a limited collection of unique artwork celebrating the music industry and its diversity (https://ibn.fm/V3jxF). Only 3,000 Music Royalty Art NFTs are available in Series 1, at a current starting price of 1 ETH (1 Ether = approximately $3,442.39). Once purchased, the NFT will be able to be staked in one of the pools to gain access to the potential royalties. The three royalty pools are 1) publishing, 2) mechanical/public performance, and 3) synchronization. As BAND continues to expand the music royalties library collection, the royalty income stream grows with it – adding more top-tier tracks and performers to the portfolio. Currently the plan for the BAND NFTs is to give the holders the ability to be staked for a minimum of 90 days or up to a maximum of five years. The longer the NFT is staked, the more proportionally increased the amount of royalty share that becomes available. BAND NFTs will be available in eight different levels of rarity:

1. Vinyl Album NFT
2. Vinyl Gold Album NFT
3. Gold Album NFT
4. Gold Platinum Album NFT
5. Platinum Album NFT
6. Platinum Diamond Album NFT (PreSOLD)
7. Diamond Album NFT (PreSOLD)
8. Double Diamond Album NFT (PreSOLD)

Each of these rarity levels will have a set number of NFTs assigned to them, with Vinyl Album NFT having the most and a 1 ETH price tag to the Double Diamond Album NFT, with only one available and a 25 ETH price. BAND founders Barnaby Andersun (“BA”) and Noble DraKoln (“ND”) plan to issue three more BAND NFT series on OpenSea. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.BANDRoyalty.com.

• Splash CEO and Chairman Robert Nistico took Red Bull North America from zero to $1.65 billion in annual sales
• Acquisition of Copa Di Vino in December was latest demonstration of Nistico and his quality leadership team recognizing accelerating trends
• Splash’s product portfolio is comprised of alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands including TapouT performance beverages, the official training partner of the WWE
• Splash’s sales doubled in the 1st Quarter 2021 to $2.4 million compared to 4th Quarter 2020. Almost reached the sales for the whole year 2020 of $2.9 million

George Clooney. Sean “Puffy” Combs. Ryan Reynolds. Robert Nistico. While the first three names likely ring a bell, Nistico is probably more of a mystery. Nistico may not be a celebrity entertainer, but he does have a common thread with Clooney, Combs and Reynolds insomuch that he’s been a part of successful beverage brands. Nistico has spent three decades in the beverage industry, including being the fifth employee and SVP/General Manager of Red Bull North America, where he led the start-up from zero sales to $1.65 billion annually. He also founded Marley Beverages, which was acquired in 2017 by New Age Beverages Corporation (NASDAQ: NBEV) (https://ibn.fm/uBYVK), and held executive positions at Diageo (NYSE: DEO), Republic National Distributing Company and the Gallo Wine Company. Nistico has now brought all those years of experience to upstart Splash Beverage Group (OTCQB: SBEV), where he has assembled a formidable portfolio of brands that are aligned with consumer trends. The Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based company has diversified beverages in the product bag, a strategy that de-risks operating in the highly competitive business while also allowing for cost-effective synergies across production and distribution channels. Splash’s flagship non-alcoholic drink line is TapouT, a brand originally made famous in mixed martial arts (“MMA”) circles before transitioning into a lifestyle brand via a joint venture in 2015 by World Wrestling Entertainment (NYSE: WWE) and BlackRock’s (NYSE: BLK) Authentic Brands Group. TapouT performance drinks, the official training partner of the WWE, competes with the likes of Gatorade and Powerade, touting a far more complete package of electrolytes and vitamins than its peers. Splash also offers a variety of alcoholic beverages, including Salt Naturally Flavored Tequila, Copa Di Vino “wine by the glass,” and Pulpoloco Sangria. All three are in the thick of consumer trends in their respective categories. Salt is a Mexico-made, 100% blanco agave 80 proof tequila, a spirit category experiencing strong year-over-year growth, momentum energized in part by Clooney’s Casamigos brand that sold in 2017 to Diageo for up to $1 billion (https://ibn.fm/wUBB5). After 6.6% growth in the category for 2018 to 2019 to 19.8 million cases, data suggests a similar increase in 2020 (https://ibn.fm/QmBOQ). Innovation is at the heart of the “wine by the glass” trend, where solutions such Copa Di Vino’s remove obstacles related to retaining freshness in premium wine that can be enjoyed anywhere without the need for a bottle, corkscrew or glass. After turning down offers twice on CNBC’s Shark Tank, Copa founder James Martin sold the brand to Splash in December, where it is now on shelves in over 13,000 retail locations (https://ibn.fm/gmxzI). Splash imports its Pulpoloco Sangria, the quintessential summer drink, from Spain. Again, getting in front of trends, particularly those that appeal to brand-loyal millennials, Pulpoloco is packaged in a low-carbon footprint, biodegradable paper can (called a catocan) that serves a double purpose of extending the shelf life of the product without using preservatives. These brands are part of Splash’s strategy to quickly develop and/or accelerate pre-existing brands to exit for cash events. Nistico’s acumen and network were instrumental in attracting top talent committed to the mission. The team includes President and CMO William Meissner, VP of Product Development Sanjeev Javia, CFO Dean Huge and Aida Aragon as SVP of national accounts. Much like Nistico, the names may seem a bit unassuming until it is understood that they have held leadership positions at companies such as Sweet Leaf and Tradewinds Tea, SoBe Beverages, Fuze, Muscle Milk and more, not to mention Javia advising on nutritional plans for star athletes, including Tom Brady, Kurt Warner and Curt Schilling. Similarly, Huge was the 14th person hired at Catalyst Energy Corp., which was named Inc. Magazine’s ‘Fastest Growing Company’ as it grew to 440 people during his tenure. The results speak volumes to the success Splash is achieving. After starting 2020 with sales of $112,003, revenue for the year climbed to $2.98 million, including $1.24 million in the fourth quarter. That sales momentum didn’t include the Copa Di Vino acquisition, which was completed in December—an achievement which should have investors on the lookout for what can be accomplished when those sales show up on the books in 2021. Additionally, Splash’s sales doubled in Q12021 to $2.4 million compared to Q42020, almost reaching the sales for the whole year 2020 of $2.9 million (https://ibn.fm/Gxc4L).

SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX), a financial technology company that unlocks data and insights for publicly traded companies, has announced that Sequire, its proprietary SaaS platform, has reached a significant milestone — 5 million retail investors (https://ibn.fm/CsE8n). “Retail investors are more important now than ever, as they have been driving the market, and companies are starting to pay attention,” said SRAX founder and CEO Christopher Miglino. “Data on who investors are and what they invest in is a valuable asset to every public company.

The name — Sequire — captures the platform’s main objective to both acquire and secure investors for publicly traded companies. “We are thrilled to announce the new brand, giving the platform its own identity separate from SRAX,” said Miglino. “It’s also arriving at an opportune time as we are developing new intelligent technologies to further provide public companies the tools to reach and engage their shareholders.” The appeal of the platform seems evident as the community has grown to reach a network of more than 5 million influential, forward-thinking investors in barely a year; the Company plans on creating even more value through the development of the Sequire Investor Community. The Sequire Investor Community is a place where investors can convene, learn and share on a wide range of industry-related topics, the Company noted. More opportunities, education and news within this network will accompany the multiple investor events already slated for this year. One of those events is the 2021 LD Micro Invitational, available via the Sequire virtual events platform and slated for June 8–10, 2021 (https://ibn.fm/gYldT). The premier, three-day virtual investor conference has gained a reputation for being one of the most influential conferences in the small-cap space. An event designed specifically for newcomers and companies on the “cusp” of doing big things, the invitational is expected to include an estimated 180 companies; each company will offer a 25-minute presentation. In addition, this year’s agenda features several leading keynote speakers and a one-time attraction: the LD Micro Hall of Fame, which will include the top 50 companies out of the nearly 2,000 that have attended LD Micro events through the years.

• Social selling is when salespeople use social media to find and engage with new prospects.
• SHRG is dedicated to being a leader in the direct-sales arena.
• Sharing Services is committed to staying ahead of marketplace trends, fulfilling needs, consistently increasing shareholder value.

Social selling is the latest business model in the direct-sales world, and the strategy has been proven to increase company revenue by 16% (https://ibn.fm/hrP6O). Sharing Services Global (OTCQB: SHRG) and its primary subsidiary Elevacity Holdings LLC. are leveraging a modern take on the traditional approach to reach out to a growing number of consumers as well as potential business partners. Calling social selling “sales 2.0,” a recent article noted that “social selling is when salespeople use social media to find and engage with new prospects. Salespeople use social media to provide value to prospects by answering open-ended questions, responding to comments and sharing content throughout the buying process — from awareness to consideration, until a prospect is ready to buy.” The same article reported that “sales reps who use social selling find on average 45% more opportunities. In addition, social selling helps best-in-class companies achieve a 16% gain in year-over-year revenue. That’s four times better than companies that don’t use social selling.” SHRG has always been dedicated to being a leader in the direct-sales arena, working to be nimble and adaptable in order to offer its sales force the most compelling, effective support available. In fact, one of the company’s principles is speed. “Speed is important,” the corporate website states. “The speed of change requires timely decisions. Otherwise we will watch others who complete their research and make their decisions faster.” Sharing Services is committed to always staying ahead of marketplace trends, fulfilling needs, creating sustainable enterprise growth and consistently increasing shareholder value. This commitment is reflected in the Happy Co., the new brand identity of SHRG’s wholly owned subsidiaries Elevacity Holdings LLC and Elevacity U.S. LLC. (https://ibn.fm/05p2J). One of the fastest-growing companies in the social-marketing and direct-selling arenas, the Happy Co. has become the category creator for Happy Coffee and a recognized leader in natural nootropics.

PowerTap has seen the strength of its platform rise under Kilambi’s leadership in recent months, particularly through agreements that have brought the powerhouse Andretti Group into partnership with the company for fuel station sites, marketing and board leadership (https://ibn.fm/65EHI).

Kilambi has over 25 years of global business experience in public and private investments, building businesses and creating shareholder value. He has raised more than $1 billion of equity and debt capital for private and public companies in the United States and Canada, and has been involved in many M&A acquisitions and exits. His experience with investments in emerging technologies will be an asset for Clean Power as it continues to seek additional investment opportunities under its new mission statement.

That investment policy specifically states the company will focus on renewable energy, which may include, without limitation, hydrogen & fuel cell technologies, wind power, solar power and geothermal power; and bio-medical, pharmaceutical, and naturopathic sectors, which may include medical or recreational cannabis.

Clean Power has also announced a pair of decisions to advance its investment profile among the public. The company entered into an investor relations advisory services agreement on March 10 with 1830012 Ontario Limited, operating as Circadian Group to create a customized positive investment image and communicate that image to the investment community. In addition, the company retained Mountain Capital Corp. on March 8 to provide strategic digital media services, as well as marketing and data analytics services, for a three-month period, according to the annual meeting news release.

PowerTap also announced development of its advisory board through the appointment of David Bray, former corporate officer/general manager of Shell Oil Products US. Bray’s company, Bray Retail Consulting, LLC will also join PowerTap in a consulting role under an exclusive one-year assignment.

The consultancy will focus on critical product development and services to accelerate the deployment of PowerTap’s proprietary modular 1,250 kg hydrogen production and dispensing technology as part of a planned hydrogen fueling station network launching in California with the Andretti Group’s assistance. The company will then use Andretti’s connections to build the network into other parts of the country.

Bray is a seasoned Shell executive whose more than 30 years in the industry included serving as the general manager of several groups at Shell, including Strategy/Business Development, Fuels and Marketing, and Americas Aviation.

“Regarding hydrogen, we are at the starting line in terms of the growth opportunity for its use as a transportation fuel. I believe that hydrogen will play a critical role in meeting the energy needs of the Americas going forward,” he stated.
