Faraday Future Unveils Dual AI-Crypto Strategy, Targets Multi-Million Dollar Digital Asset Treasury
Faraday Future just dropped a bombshell—they're merging artificial intelligence with cryptocurrency in a dual-pronged assault on the future of finance.
The electric vehicle maker isn't just talking about adopting crypto; they're building an entire ecosystem where AI algorithms will manage what could become one of the largest corporate crypto treasuries in the automotive sector.
Strategic Vision Meets Digital Assets
This isn't some vague blockchain experiment. Faraday's putting serious capital behind this move, with plans to allocate millions into digital assets. They're betting that machine learning can outperform human traders in the volatile crypto markets—because apparently, their cars weren't risky enough investments already.
The AI component will allegedly optimize treasury management, execute trades at lightning speed, and hedge against market downturns. Because nothing says 'stable investment' like letting algorithms gamble corporate funds on meme coins and leverage trading.
Corporate Treasury Revolution
While legacy automakers stick to boring old bonds and cash reserves, Faraday's going full degen mode. Their proposed crypto treasury could reshape how companies manage assets—if it doesn't bankrupt them first in some spectacular crypto winter catastrophe.
This move signals that even traditional industries can't ignore the gravitational pull of digital assets anymore. Whether this becomes a case study in innovation or a cautionary tale about corporate crypto addiction remains to be seen—but the market's watching every move.
Faraday Future, the California EV maker, has revealed a new strategy with plans to LINK its AI-powered mobility platform with Web3 and cryptocurrency.
The company is betting that this mix could reshape both the auto industry and digital finance.
Faraday Bridges AI and Crypto
At an event in Pebble Beach on August 16, Faraday unveiled its new “EAI + Crypto” Dual-Flywheel and Dual-Bridge strategy. The plan merges its Embodied AI (EAI) technology with blockchain and crypto, aiming to bridge Web2 and Web3 while opening new business opportunities in mobility.
This makes Faraday one of the first U.S.-listed companies to connect real-world business operations with blockchain technology.
EAI Vehicle Chain to Tokenize Sales
A central part of the plan is the EAI Vehicle Chain, which will enable:
- Tokenized vehicle sales
- Crypto-based deposits
- Web3-powered user engagement
The ultimate goal is to create a more open and decentralized mobility economy.
Today, Faraday Future launched the first-ever US-listed company #C10 Treasury plan and introduced the #C10 Index.
Phase 1: $500M–$1B allocation, with the first $30M expected to start next week — long-term vision: $10B scale.

C10 Index and Treasury Program Target Billions
Faraday also launched the C10 Index, which tracks the world’s top 10 cryptocurrencies (excluding stablecoins) in real time on its website and app.
The company is also starting a C10 Treasury, aiming to invest $500million–$1 billion in crypto, with an initial $30 million purchase. Using an 80/20 passive-active strategy, the treasury targets 3–5% returns to fund innovation, stock buybacks, and growth.
Over time, they hope that “it could reach tens of billions in size.” Moreover, it is also considering an ETF based on the index.
“The next decade could be a super long bull cycle for the crypto market,” said Ian Calderon, FF Co-Creation Officer and Founding Board Member of the California Blockchain Working Group.
Faraday Faces Setbacks
Despite its ambitious roadmap, Faraday Future has been facing issues with delayed production and regulatory challenges. In July, it received a Wells notice from the SEC after a three-year probe into its 2021 SPAC merger.
It also posted a $48.1M net loss in Q2, slightly better than last year. Its shares are currently trading at $2.58, down 7% over the past day.
