[PRESS RELEASE – London, United Arab Emirates, June 25th, 2026]

Solstice to launch aiUSX, a yield-bearing asset that lets companies help finance the buildout with the capital they already hold for AI.

TensorX and Solstice today announced a partnership to finance European sovereign AI infrastructure. TensorX and Solstice will work together to create a facility with up to $1 billion in capacity to finance AI hardware and data-center build-out to meet rising demand for sovereign compute across the EU. Solstice will provide the onchain financing for that buildout and will launch aiUSX, a potential yield asset that opens the same infrastructure lending to companies holding capital for AI.

TensorX owns and operates a fleet of NVIDIA GPUs and delivers AI models in EU data centres with zero data retention, predictable pricing with best-in-class performance. The company works with AI startups and enterprises across the EU block with plans to expand into other global jurisdictions.

“Europe wants AI that can run on its own terms, on its own soil, without handing its data to someone else’s cloud on the world stage,” said Tim Grant, Executive Chairman of TensorX. “Meeting that accelerating demand takes hardware, and a lot of it. The billion dollars going into GPUs and data center capacity is the first step, and we expect to keep buying as demand grows. Solstice gives us a financing partner that can keep pace with this incredibly fast moving market.”

aiUSX: Financing the AI Buildout With Capital Companies Already Hold

Companies hold growing piles of cash and stable assets for their AI spend while inference bills climb. These two pools sit apart, and the cash earns nothing while it waits. aiUSX closes that gap. The capital a company sets aside for AI goes into aiUSX, which opens access to the AI-infrastructure lending Solstice finances, the same deals large institutions fund. The company takes the position of an infrastructure lender without becoming one or underwriting anything itself; for example, USD.ai has brought capital to AI hardware across the wider buildout. At launch, aiUSX will be capped at $5 million, with yield generated by the lending it gives access to. The capital stays liquid and redeemable, and what it earns goes toward the cost of inference later.

“Every company is turning into an AI company, and every one of them watches its inference bill climb,” said Ben Nadareski, CEO of Solstice. “aiUSX puts the money they set aside for AI to work in the meantime. They get access to the kind of AI-infrastructure lending that used to sit with large institutions, the capital stays liquid, and what it earns goes toward inference later. It is treasury management for the AI era.”

“Sovereign AI is one of the biggest infrastructure buildouts of this decade, and it runs on capital as much as it runs on chips,” said Stuart Connolly, CIO of Deus X Capital. “TensorX builds the compute, Solstice brings the financing, and aiUSX lets more companies take part in funding it. Both companies are in the Deus X Capital ecosystem, which is why we’re uniquely positioned to deliver this to the market.”
