Summary

Faraday Future has announced the launch of its 'EAI+Crypto' strategy, starting with a $30 million investment into its new C10 Treasury, designed to grow into a $10 billion-scale operation. The Nasdaq-listed EV maker is introducing the C10 Index, a market-cap-weighted basket of the top 10 cryptocurrencies excluding stablecoins, and aims to expand its holdings to $500 million–$1 billion in the first phase. The treasury seeks returns from staking yields to support innovation, potential stock buybacks, and asset growth. The company also plans an 'EAI Vehicle Chain' to enable tokenized EV sales. California State Treasurer Fiona Ma endorsed the plan, highlighting its economic potential. This initiative comes as Faraday Future attempts a turnaround after past production setbacks, with only 16 EVs delivered as of January and lingering SEC investigations into its 2021 SPAC merger.
