AIxCrypto Holdings Enters Related-Party Consulting Agreement with Aibot

What Happened
AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc. (AIXC) filed an 8-K on July 31, 2026 reporting that it entered into a Consulting Agreement with Aibot US Operation Inc., effective July 16, 2026 and executed July 29, 2026. The one-year agreement (through July 15, 2027) engages a four-person consulting team to support finance, capital markets, and HR/legal coordination and calls for a $50,000 monthly fee payable semi-monthly.

Key Details

• Agreement effective July 16, 2026; signed July 29, 2026; term through July 15, 2027 unless extended.
• Consulting team: 4 personnel — 2 finance, 1 capital markets, 1 HR/legal; onsite support generally 5 business days/week.
• Fee: $50,000 per month, invoiced on the 15th and last day of each month; payments due within 15 business days of invoice.
• One finance team member operates hybrid and receives a 20% fee discount for that arrangement.
• Expense reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket costs capped at $500/month unless pre-approved.
• Termination: either party with ≥15 days’ prior written notice; 24-hour termination for material breach; immediate termination for breaches of confidentiality or non-solicitation.
• Related-party disclosure: Aibot is minority owned by Jerry Wang (AIxCrypto’s CEO and a director), who also serves on Aibot’s board; the agreement was reviewed and approved by disinterested directors and the Audit Committee as fair and on no less favorable terms than those from an unaffiliated third party.

Why It Matters
This is a material operational contract that commits AIxCrypto to $600,000 of base consulting fees annually (excluding reimbursable expenses) and brings external personnel into key functions (finance, capital markets, HR/legal). Because the consultant is partially owned by the company’s CEO and he sits on both boards, the agreement is a related-party transaction and required disinterested-board and Audit Committee approval — a governance point investors should note. The arrangement may affect near-term operating costs and how management fills functional roles while the company evaluates longer-term staffing.
