Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 25, 2025, GBT Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) and GBT Tokenize Corp. (“TOKENIZE”) entered into a Strategic Joint Venture Agreement (the “Agreement”) with VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (“VWAV”) and with AIPHEX LTD (“AIPHEX). Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties agreed to form a joint venture limited liability company in the State of Nevada (the “JV LLC”) for the purpose of collaborating on certain designated defense and technology projects (the “Designated Projects and Background IP”). The Designated Projects and Background IP are set forth in a separate confidential letter agreement between the Company and AIPHEX due to their sensitive and confidential nature.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the JV LLC will be owned approximately as follows:

●

46.76% by the VWAV,

●

46.76% by AIPHEX,

●

6.08% by TOKENIZE, and

●

0.40% by GBT.

These ownership percentages are based on an estimated internal value of $5,000,000,000 for equity allocation purposes, with the parties waiving the need for formal valuation solely for this allocation and shall not be constructed as a valuation of AIPHEX or its assets for any other purpose. TOKENIZE will contribute to the JV 897,102 shares of the Company’s common stock and its intellectual property portfolio (as detailed in Exhibit A to the Agreement, on an estimated internal value of $295,000,000 for equity allocation purposes - as detailed in Exhibit B to the Agreement). GBT will contribute to the JV 2,020,500 shares of the Company’s common stock. AIPHEX will contribute the Designated Projects and Background IP. VWAV and AIPHEX will each enter into non-exclusive license agreements granting the JV LLC rights to use certain of their respective intellectual property portfolios and products solely for the Designated Projects and Background IP (the “JV License Agreements”). The JV LLC will serve as the exclusive vehicle for marketing, manufacturing, delivering, and managing the Designated Projects, including research, development, commercialization, and related activities. The parties will adopt an operating agreement for the JV LLC within 30 days of the effective date. Intellectual property developed by the JV LLC will be owned by the JV LLC, with restrictions on use and transfer. Both AIPHEX and VWAV contribute the Designated Projects (DP) to the JV and each will enter into the JV License Agreements. The Agreement includes non-circumvention provisions, confidentiality obligations, and termination rights, including a provision that the Agreement becomes void and considerations returned if no revenue is generated from the Designated Projects within 12 months of establishing the JV LLC. The term of the Agreement is seven years, subject to renewal. The Agreement also provides for a referral fee to a non-affiliated third party, consisting of 700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (to be assigned from shares contributed to the JV LLC and which will not be issued by the Company in any manner) and 2% of future JV LLC revenue based on actual collections.

The transactions contemplated by the Agreement are subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining necessary regulatory approvals (such as CFIUS clearance, export control licenses, and other governmental consents). The parties intend to consummate the contributions and operationalize the JV LLC upon execution of the operating agreement and satisfaction of such conditions.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. Certain portions of the Agreement, including details of the Designated Projects, are confidential and have not been disclosed herein due to their sensitive nature.
