SUI Group SUIG is adding two Al

investments to its Sui treasury strategy as the company tries to move deeper into the infrastructure behind automated trading and agent-driven finance.

The Nasdaq-listed company said Friday it co-led a $15 million funding round for Nof1, an Al research lab building frontier models for financial markets, alongside Karatage Opportunities. SUI Group also made a strategic investment in Recursive Superintelligence's recent $650 million round, which valued the Al research company at more than $4 billion.

SUI Group invested $3 million in each company. Both investments were made alongside Karatage, the London-based proprietary hedge fund focused on digital assets, artificial intelligence and gaming. Karatage owns 5.63% of SUI Group's common stock and serves as a strategic advisor to the company.

That relationship adds a governance layer to the announcement. Karatage co-founders Marius Barnett and Stephen Mackintosh are also SUI Group's chairman and chief investment officer, respectively. SUI Group said the investments were reviewed and unanimously approved by independent and disinterested board members.

Barnett said agentic finance is one of the company's "most compelling opportunities ahead," adding that Nof1 is building intelligence for Al-driven trading while Recursive is working on foundational Al capabilities.

Nof1's main experiment, Alpha Arena, tested whether frontier Al models could trade real markets profitably. Eight models from companies including OpenAl, Anthropic, Google, xAl and Alibaba each received $10,000 in real capital and traded autonomously. Across 32 result sets, the models finished in profit only six times.

The result is central to Nof1's pitch that general-purpose Al models still need market-specific training, tooling and infrastructure before they can compete in live trading environments.

SUI Group said it will look to use Nof1's models to drive yield and returns for its treasury, tying the investment back to its broader plan to build public-market exposure around the Sui ecosystem.

Sui is currently trading at $1.10 U.S. per digital token, while SUI Group Holdings Limited SUIG is currently trading at $1.71 U.S. per share.
