The U.S. is at the epicenter of the AI investment boom, and the numbers are staggering.
💸 In 2024, U.S. AI startups pulled in around $97 billion in venture capital—nearly half of all startup funding that year. Dealroom reported a total of $110 billion invested in AI startups globally, marking a 62% year-on-year increase. PitchBook confirmed that U.S. AI companies alone captured $97 billion out of the $209 billion total venture capital raised in the country.
🏦 By mid-2025, AI-related companies had already raised $118 billion, with over 60% of that coming from just eight mega-funding rounds—including OpenAI’s $40 billion raise. Goldman Sachs now forecasts U.S. AI investment to hit $100 billion annually by 2025, with a cumulative $1.5 trillion flowing into the space by 2033.
📈 Morgan Stanley estimates that AI could add a jaw-dropping $13–16 trillion to the value of the S&P 500. Meanwhile, collective AI spending by U.S. Big Tech could exceed $350 billion in 2025, potentially boosting GDP growth by 0.7%. Microsoft alone has earmarked $80 billion for AI-optimized data centers.
The takeaway? U.S. investors are all-in on AI, with capital flowing at historic levels.

⚡ Why PR1 Could Capture Investor Attention
This is where Pri0r1ty Intelligence Group (PR1) comes in. The company has been quietly building a unique footprint across three of the hottest verticals: AI, crypto, and sports tech.
• Through its Pr1bit platform, PR1 enables SMEs to accept Bitcoin payments, manage crypto treasuries, and leverage AI-driven SaaS tools.
• It has raised $1 million to expand its Lightning Network infrastructure, placing it squarely in the crypto-AI infrastructure conversation.
• With the acquisition of Halfspace, PR1 has entered the sports data and marketing sector—bringing contracts in soccer (football) that tie directly into America’s growing passion for the sport.
• And importantly, PR1 has applied for cross-trading on the OTCQB market in the U.S., opening the door for American investors to participate.

⚽ The Sports + AI + Crypto Angle
U.S. investors don’t just love AI—they also love sports. Soccer’s rise in the U.S. is undeniable, with the 2026 World Cup set to supercharge interest. PR1’s access to soccer data and marketing contracts via Halfspace could give it a powerful differentiator. Combined with AI-powered payments infrastructure, the company sits right at the intersection of two things U.S. investors are pouring billions into: AI innovation and sports tech.
