The FT tries their hand at the always-divisive subject of Tokyo's best pizzerias. Marks taken off for leaving out the current Savoy in Azubujuban, but plus marks for not including the overrated Da Isa in Nakameguro. ft.com/content/ffbc56…

Hello @Conste11ation Community, Over the past several years, we have been deliberate in our focus to build the foundational infrastructure required to support a scalable, enterprise-grade blockchain network. During this period, we’ve seen increased competition, accelerating global adoption of digital assets, convergence of new technologies (i.e. AI and blockchain) and a meaningful shift toward regulatory clarity, particularly within the United States. These developments represent a pivotal moment for our industry. More importantly, they represent an opportunity for Constellation to take a decisive step forward. Today, I’m proud to share that Constellation has entered into an agreement to be acquired by AI², founded by entrepreneur John Rochon and led alongside Todd Furniss. AI² is building an AI powered diversified holding company that connects traditional industries with modern technologies, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and data infrastructure, to drive adoption at scale. Subject to customary approvals and conditions, this transaction positions Constellation to become one of the first blockchain networks to join a regulated, publicly listed corporate structure. This milestone reflects years of disciplined execution and represents a significant step toward long-term sustainability, transparency, and institutional credibility. Our objective has always been to build infrastructure that lasts. Through our active work with the U.S. Department of Defense, our growing enterprise relationships, and a deeply committed community, we have demonstrated that Constellation is designed for real-world deployment. This next chapter dramatically accelerates our ability to invest in the ecosystem, expand our team, and responsibly scale the network. Becoming part of a broader, multi-vertical company unlocks access to additional capital, operational resources, and strategic partnerships while simultaneously operating within a regulated environment which strengthens governance, accountability, and trust. For investors, partners, and builders alike, this integrated structure positions Constellation to scale faster, grow stronger, and create durable long-term value. This evolution is about powering the growth of Constellation. It is about ensuring that the network we’ve built can continue to grow, adapt, and lead as digital infrastructure becomes foundational to global business and government systems. It is also about positioning Constellation as a trusted, transparent, and durable platform for next-generation applications. While this announcement includes forward-looking statements and plans that are subject to change, our conviction is clear: this moment marks a major achievement for our community and a strong foundation for the road ahead. Thank you for your continued belief, patience, and commitment as we enter this next exciting phase together.
