MITI Has The Solution To One Of AI's Biggest Problems

The AI buildout is running out of places to put its buildings, with more than 300 cities, towns and counties having banned or paused hyperscale data centers and $130 billion of projects blocked or delayed in the first quarter alone. The buildout's four biggest spenders, Amazon (NASDAQ: $AMZN), Microsoft (NASDAQ: $MSFT), Alphabet (NASDAQ: $GOOGL) and Meta (NASDAQ: $META), still plan to spend roughly $725 billion on that infrastructure this year, up 77% from a record 2025, and that money now needs somewhere to land. Mitesco (OTCQB: $MITI) is going where the moratoriums cannot follow, building a compact edge computing node through its Centcore subsidiary that puts the data center inside the house itself. The same node is also MITI's entry into the connected home, a market Fortune Business Insights values at $180 billion this year on its way to $848 billion by 2034.
The node is called TC/DC, a battery-driven unit about the shape of a trash can that comes in two, five and ten processor configurations for the home, the garage, or full outdoor placement. It recharges on household current or solar and pays the host site $100 a month for the space and runs on a standard outlet. Nvidia (NASDAQ: $NVDA) and PulteGroup (NYSE: $PHM) began installing XFRA mini data centers on new Pulte homes in May alongside smart-panel startup Span, which put the most valuable company in the world behind the idea that houses are data center real estate. That hardware still rides on a breaker-box swap and a new-construction partnership, and the requirement is the gap Valania is aiming TC/DC at, an appliance hard-wired into nothing and needing no permits or installation crew. The first units go into garages in September, and Valania says the prototypes will publish real operating data on power, utilization and revenue per node ahead of broader deployment in 2027, against a stated plan of 10,000 placed units.
The node's second job is the connected home, and the case Valania makes for it is cost. Improve power consumption, utilization and that cost at the edge, and "the residential node becomes much more than a small data center." The ecosystem for that larger role is already built, with Schneider Electric (OTC: $SBGSY) through its Square D line, Leviton and Span having turned the residential panel into an intelligent platform. A box carrying compute, connectivity and intelligent power management into the same house is the local brain that ecosystem still lacks, and the stated long-term vision is TC/DC as the gateway for panels, storage, HVAC, EV charging and security. New features would arrive through software, like adding apps to a phone, and to top it all off MITI has already been talking with homebuilders for several months about financing, installation and pilot structures.
RoboAgent was shaped with input from executives at one of the largest publicly held brokerages in the country, an operation of more than 84,000 agents. eXp Realty (NASDAQ: $EXPI) Vice President of Growth Frank Panunto joined the test bed in June alongside operations coach Kim Hughes and The Lotierzo Group President Doug Lotierzo. Brian Moses, founder of Brian Moses Coaching and Seminars, signed on as exclusive coaching provider, putting his scripts and training inside the product and nowhere else. Licensing runs to major brokerages at $100 per user, with the brokerage keeping roughly 20% of fees to handle billing and first-line support. The first production version is targeted for the fourth quarter with recognized revenue as the stated objective, a paid deployment rather than a free pilot.
A $100 seat is a modest price for a layer the industry's largest players pay nine figures to own, because the agent's daily workflow is where listings, leads and mortgages get decided. Zillow (NASDAQ: $ZG) paid $399 million in cash plus an earnout worth up to $100 million for Follow Up Boss, an agent CRM with about a hundred employees. Follow Up Boss is also the first system RoboAgent is built to integrate with, which puts the platform inside the workflow Zillow paid half a billion dollars to control. Rocket Companies (NYSE: $RKT) ran the consolidation up the stack, taking all of Redfin at $1.75 billion of equity value. Real estate CRM software runs $5.31 billion this year toward $14.98 billion by 2035, while edge computing, the market on the hardware side of MITI's pairing, grows from $25.63 billion in 2026 to $267.42 billion by 2034.
MITI has also lined up capital for what comes next, signing a $30 million equity facility in late June with C/M Capital Partners, drawable over 36 months on top of $10 million in obligations the same investor already carries, earmarked for acquisitions. The acquisition targets run from a materials processing operation which feeds the power components data centers depend on, to real estate vertical software and AI sales tools. The goal for every prospect is for it to play into the data center growth story, with months of due diligence already behind candidates that reach the company through its institutional relationships. The node build is funded separately through equipment financing secured by the hardware itself, and Valania calls the equity line a strategic resource he will not draw until the timing is right.
The first TC/DC prototypes are due before this fiscal quarter closes and RoboAgent's first brokerage license is targeted for the quarter after, so the software that opens the doors and the hardware that goes through them are just about to come alive. Every unit placed earns its $100 a month doing AI work from day one and holds a position in a home automation market growing toward $848 billion while it does it. The demand behind all of it is the same $725 billion the hyperscalers cannot find enough ground to build on, and the answer MITI has for it starts going into garages in September.
