Founder and CEO David Nikzad has been appointed Head of Capital Markets for World Mobile Token, highlighting Orthogonal’s capital-conscious approach to DePIN-based communication.
Honolulu, Hawaii–(Newsfile Corp.- October 30, 2025)– Orthogonal Thinker, Inc (“orthogonal“or”a company), a Hawaii-based holding company engaged in health, plant medicine, artificial intelligence and digital assets, today announced the appointment of its founder and CEO, David Nikzad, as Head of Capital Markets for Universal mobile code (WMTx), a blockchain-enabled platform that advances decentralized communications through the DePIN model.
In this role, Nikzad will direct capital formation and partnerships that expand World Mobile’s decentralized network model, enabling communities around the world to own a share of the $2 trillion telecommunications market through token-based staking and community-built mobile networks.
Focus on capital infrastructure group
This appointment marks the first initiative announced within Orthogonal’s Capital Infrastructure Group, a division that creates and builds digital asset treasury (DAT) and DePIN-based capital frameworks for mission-aligned companies at the intersection of real-world connectivity, energy, and infrastructure.
“The World Mobile model embodies conscious capital – financing infrastructure that expands access while sharing value with the communities it helps power,” said David Nikzad, founder and CEO of Orthogonal Thinker and Head of Capital Markets at World Mobile Token. “By pairing the economics of DePIN with communications, we can scale connectivity and align long-term incentives across operators, users and capital providers.”
Bridging capital, connection and community
The World Mobile ecosystem empowers individuals and businesses to expand mobile and internet coverage through community-powered AirNodes, leading to a fairer and more flexible communication model that rewards real-world engagement and shared ownership. While local operators receive fiat revenues for providing service, WMTx supports system rewards for EarthNode operators and the broader ecosystem.
“As we expand World Mobile’s presence across global markets, capital formation is essential to scaling the people-owned and operated network,” said Mickey Watkins, founder and CEO of World Mobile Group. “David Nikzad has deep experience bridging the gap between traditional finance and blockchain innovation, helping us open new ways for communities and investors to participate in the $2 trillion communications market through our WMTx ecosystem.”
Orthogonal views AI, digital assets, clean energy and DePIN as essential vectors for the next stage of industrial and human progress. The company’s Capital Infrastructure group collaborates with teams building decentralized physical infrastructure and the financial rails to support it.
“Our mission is to design capital frameworks where innovation and inclusion mutually reinforce each other,” Nikzad added. “This partnership connects capital markets to the world’s most important resource: connectivity.”
