HOBOKEN, N.J., June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rocket One, Inc. (Nasdaq: RKTO) (“Rocket One” or the “Company”), a company focused on advanced computing technologies and next-generation infrastructure for the space economy, today provided an update to its shareholders.
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
The past several months have marked a transformative period for our Company. Following our transition from Hoth Therapeutics to Rocket One Inc. (Nasdaq: RKTO), we have begun executing a strategy focused on advanced computing, artificial intelligence infrastructure, space systems, and defense-related technologies.
We believe the coming decade will be defined by the convergence of artificial intelligence, space infrastructure, and national security modernization. Each of these markets requires increasingly powerful, efficient, and resilient computing architectures. Rocket One was created to pursue opportunities at this intersection.
Today, Rocket One is building a foundation that includes exclusive licenses to technology, a growing network of technical and strategic advisors, and a long-term vision focused on next-generation computing technologies and their potential applications across commercial, space, and defense markets.
Financial Position
As of June 12, 2026, Rocket One had approximately $8.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.
The Company’s cash position reflects proceeds received through its previously disclosed at-the-market (“ATM”) equity program. Additional information regarding shares issued and proceeds received under the ATM program is available in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.
Building Rocket One
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming one of the largest infrastructure markets in the world. At the same time, the growth of satellite networks, edge computing, and national security technologies is creating demand for computing architectures that deliver greater performance while consuming less power.
Rocket One believes that the same characteristics that make advanced computing technologies attractive for AI infrastructure—including lower power consumption, reduced memory movement, improved efficiency, and enhanced performance—may also prove valuable in future space and defense environments where power, thermal management, reliability, and operational efficiency are critical design constraints.
Our objective is to position Rocket One at the convergence of these trends through a combination of acquiring rights to certain intellectual property, entering into strategic partnerships, developing technical expertise, and employing disciplined capital allocation and targeted growth initiatives.
Exclusive Spintronic and Nanomagnetic Computing Technology
On May 15, 2026, Rocket One entered into two exclusive license agreements relating to spintronic and nanomagnetic computing technologies designed for artificial intelligence and data-center applications.
The licensed intellectual property includes novel all-spin matrix multiplication and nanomagnetic computing architectures intended to address some of the most significant challenges facing modern artificial intelligence, including power consumption, memory bottlenecks, and computational efficiency.
Unlike conventional silicon-based approaches, spintronic computing utilizes the magnetic properties of electrons to process and store information. The underlying technologies are designed to leverage nanomagnetic structures that may enable highly energy-efficient computing, reduced data movement, and new approaches to AI hardware acceleration.
Rocket One believes these technologies represent a compelling opportunity within the rapidly growing AI infrastructure market that could provide a foundation for future advanced-computing applications. Published research associated with the licensed technology has demonstrated the potential for substantial improvements in computational efficiency and power consumption relative to conventional architectures.
Management believes that the characteristics associated with spintronic and nanomagnetic computing—including potential improvements in power efficiency, data movement, and computational performance—may be relevant to future space and defense computing environments, where power, thermal management, reliability, and operational efficiency are critical considerations.
The Company is evaluating development pathways, strategic partnerships, and commercialization opportunities designed to advance these technologies toward practical applications in artificial intelligence infrastructure, advanced computing, space systems, and defense-related technologies.
Expanding Our Advisory Network
Rocket One continues to strengthen its leadership and advisory capabilities through the addition of distinguished experts across advanced computing, aerospace, military, and spaceflight disciplines.
Dr. Supriyo Bandyopadhyay serves as Lead Technical Advisor for AI Nanomagnetic Technology and is a recognized professor and researcher who has worked in the areas of spintronic and nanomagnetic computing research.
Major General Malcolm B. Frost (Ret.) recently joined Rocket One’s Space and Defense Advisory Board. General Frost brings more than three decades of military leadership experience and strategic expertise across defense operations, national security, and emerging technologies.
Colonel Robert “Shane” Kimbrough (Ret.) joined Rocket One’s Space and Defense Advisory Board. Colonel Kimbrough is a former NASA astronaut and former Commander of the International Space Station who brings firsthand experience in human spaceflight, orbital operations, and the future of the space economy.
Together, these advisors strengthen Rocket One’s ability to evaluate opportunities across advanced computing, artificial intelligence, space infrastructure, and defense technologies.
Legacy Biotechnology Portfolio
While Rocket One has embarked on a new strategic direction, the Company continues to maintain ownership of the biotechnology assets developed under Hoth Therapeutics.
This includes HT-001, the Company’s clinical-stage program focused on the treatment of EGFR inhibitor-associated skin toxicities. The pharmacokinetic (PK) portion of the HT-001 Phase 2 clinical program has been completed, and the Company is currently awaiting finalized PK results. Additional portions of the Phase 2 program remain ongoing.
As management’s primary focus shifts toward the execution of Rocket One’s technology strategy, the Company is evaluating a range of strategic alternatives for its biotechnology assets, including HT-001 and its other candidates and intellectual property. These alternatives may include partnerships, licensing transactions, joint ventures, asset sales, or other strategic opportunities designed to maximize shareholder value.
No decision has been made regarding any specific transaction, and there can be no assurance that any partnership, licensing arrangement, or sale will occur. However, management believes the biotechnology portfolio represents a potentially valuable collection of clinical-stage assets and intellectual property that may be attractive to strategic partners while allowing Rocket One to focus on its long-term technology strategy.
Looking Ahead
Rocket One believes that meaningful value creation may come from a combination of internal technology development, strategic partnerships, licensing opportunities, and disciplined capital deployment.
In addition to advancing its licensed technology portfolio, Rocket One intends to evaluate strategic acquisitions, partnerships, and licensing opportunities that complement the Company’s focus on advanced computing, artificial intelligence infrastructure, space systems, and defense technologies.
Management believes the current market environment presents opportunities to identify technologies, intellectual property, engineering capabilities, and operating businesses that may accelerate Rocket One’s long-term growth objectives. The Company intends to remain disciplined in evaluating potential opportunities and will focus on transactions that strengthen its strategic positioning and enhance long-term shareholder value.
Our objective is to unlock value from both sides of the business—advancing Rocket One’s AI and advanced-computing strategy while exploring strategic alternatives that may maximize the value of our biotechnology portfolio.
We appreciate the continued support of our shareholders as we pursue this vision and work to build long-term value.
Sincerely,
Robb Knie
