(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 27, 2025) - LQWD Technologies Corp. (TSXV: LQWD) (OTCQX: LQWDF) ("LQWD" or the "Company") announces that the Company's Lightning Network yield initiative has delivered highly encouraging initial results. Over the 24-day testing period, LQWD scaled 19.75 Bitcoin across its infrastructure, generating fees in satoshis equivalent to an approximate 24% annualized yield.

This represents the first phase of a new approach LQWD is implementing on the Company's Lightning Network infrastructure. LQWD intends to continue scaling the amount of Bitcoin deployed as it refines and optimizes strategies to maximize yield on the Company's Bitcoin treasury.

On a simple aggregate basis, assuming all the 19.75 BTC deployed had been active from day one, the test reflected an APR of approximately 2.5% . That baseline offers a conservative view, however the weighted result of 24% more accurately reflects how efficiently deployed BTC is working on LQWD's infrastructure.

"We are continuing to see strong growth and will keep deploying more BTC to grow and optimize LQWD's business," said Shone Anstey, CEO of LQWD. "It's rewarding to see the infrastructure that we have built paying off, as more efficient routing directly translates into higher yield. These results demonstrate the potential of putting our Bitcoin treasury to work on the Lightning Network."

Payments continue to move seamlessly across LQWD's global infrastructure illustrating the strength and reach of the Company's highly connected network. A single connection to one of LQWD's nodes is now providing thousands of usable paths, leading to greater routing efficiency and stronger yield performance.

LQWD continues to operate as a Lightning Service Provider (LSP), deploying a portion of its Bitcoin treasury to support its global infrastructure. To date, LQWD's network has processed approximately 1.6 million transactions, underscoring the Company's role as a leading participant in supporting Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, enabling instant, low-cost global payments at mass scale.
