MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / January 14, 2026 / International Star Inc. (OTC:ILST) announces the appointment of Buster Cox as a strategic advisor to support the company's next phase of growth and capital deployment.

The board has determined that long-term shareholder value will be driven by a more active strategy in emerging technologies, digital assets, and operating businesses. Buster Cox brings deep experience at the intersection of media, AI-driven business systems, and capital formation to help guide that transition.

Buster will advise ILST on three core initiatives:

•⁠ ⁠AI-driven operating company strategy, focused on identifying, evaluating, and integrating AI software businesses that produce real cash flow and enterprise value

Buster is the founder of Buster Digital Media, a Miami-based AI automation and digital systems firm that builds end-to-end AI infrastructure for businesses, including audience intelligence, automated lead generation, AI agents, and workflow automation. His work focuses on turning attention, data, and software into measurable revenue and operational leverage for companies.

"Public companies that can intelligently deploy capital into AI-driven operating businesses and digital asset strategies have a unique opportunity in this market," said Cox. "ILST has the structure and flexibility to move fast, and I'm looking forward to helping the board identify and execute the right opportunities."

ILST believes this advisory role strengthens the company's ability to navigate AI, blockchain, and acquisition-driven growth as it positions itself for 2026 and beyond.
