LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BitNile Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: NILE), a diversified holding company (“BitNile” or the “Company”) announced today that its subsidiary, Digital Power Lending, LLC (“DP Lending”), has lent $4.1 million to Adamas One Corp.

The Company sees this as a strategic investment to support Adamas as they seek a public listing by the end of 2022.

Adamas, using proprietary technology, which includes a portfolio of patents, is an emerging manufacturer of lab-grown diamonds meant for consumer and industrial uses. The lab-grown diamond industry has grown rapidly in recent years as it serves as a viable and eco-friendly alternative to the traditional mined diamond industry. The Adamas manufactured lab-grown diamonds have the same chemical, physical and optical properties as mined diamonds without the negatives associated with traditionally mined diamonds. Adamas expects to capitalize on the growing lab-grown diamond industry through consumer sales and industrial applications of their products. The Company believes that Adamas’ management has the expertise, experience, and support to capitalize on their proprietary development techniques.

The Company’s Founder and Executive Chairman, Milton “Todd” Ault, III stated, “I am very excited to be partnering with Adamas as they explore a public offering. I believe the market for lab-grown diamonds could grow exponentially in the coming years and Adamas is well-positioned to take advantage of that growth. I look forward to supporting the company, its management and employees, and its overall operations as it grows into a leading supplier of ethically sourced diamonds.”
