TORONTO, Ontario -- March 21, 2018
-- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Internet of Things
Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ITT); (OTC:INOTF);
(FRANKFURT:71T)
(“ITT
Inc.” or “the Company”) a
software and solutions provider to the Internet of Things market,
is pleased to announce that it has made a strategic investment in
Scorpion Resources Inc., to be renamed
Blockstrain
Technology Corp. (TSX-V:SR.H) (“Blockstrain”).
Blockstrain delivers a secure and immutable blockchain platform to
establish global certainty for cannabis strains and their
ownership.
“Blockstrain is our first investment into our new wholly-owned
subsidiary, Digital Blockware Inc. The timing is right for a
truly decentralized blockchain platform to protect cannabis
intellectual property and uphold stringent regulatory
requirements,” said Michael Frank, CEO of Internet of Things. “The
sector is still in its infancy and while a lot of focus to date has
been on the producers, industry research shows that there is
actually more money in the associated ancillary markets. We look
forward to working with the Blockstrain team in developing cannabis
specific IOT solutions, and we have high expectations for our
investments into Blockstrain and Braingrid Corporation and expect
both to bring value to shareholders.”
A 2016 Deloitte report estimates the base retail market
value of recreational marijuana could be up to $8.7 billion. With
ancillary services such as security thrown in, Deloitte projects a
total market size of $22.6 billion. In arriving at these estimates,
Deloitte included another 17% of respondents who said they “might”
try marijuana if legalized, “suggesting the total potential
marketplace…is close to 40% of the adult population.”
Internet of Things Inc. has invested $100,000 into Scorpion
Resources, Inc., who has entered in to an agreement to acquire
Blockstrain, which will serve as its Qualifying Transaction.
