New AI-Themed Stock 'AIB' Planned for NYSE
A proposed business combination between Signing Day Sports and BlockchAIn Digital Infrastructure is set for a stockholder vote on March 13. If approved, the newly combined company is expected to trade on the NYSE American exchange under the ticker symbol "AIB," signaling a clear branding focus on artificial intelligence.
The deal is effectively a reverse merger, with the financially robust BlockchAIn Digital Infrastructure set to gain a public listing by combining with the much smaller Signing Day Sports. For the quarter ending September 30, 2025, Signing Day Sports reported just $31,000 in revenue and a net loss of approximately $566,000. In contrast, BlockchAIn Digital Infrastructure, through its operating affiliate One Blockchain LLC, generated approximately $22.9 million in revenue and $5.7 million in net income in 2024. This established profitability is the financial bedrock of the newly combined company. Under the terms of the business combination, existing Signing Day Sports stockholders will own about 8.5% of the new company, while BlockchAIn Digital's equity holders will control the remaining 91.5%. The transaction gives the combined entity an implied value of roughly $215 million. BlockchAIn Digital Infrastructure's core assets are data centers, including an operational 40 MW facility in South Carolina. The company is commissioning a new 150MW facility in Texas, with plans to expand total power capacity to 200MW. The strategic pivot branding "AIB" is centered on leveraging this infrastructure for the artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC) markets. The company notes that AI and HPC colocation can generate materially higher revenue per megawatt than legacy uses like crypto mining and is supported by multi-year contracts. Leadership for the new entity will come from BlockchAIn Digital's management team, led by its Chairman and CEO, Jerry Tang.
