Tyson 2.0

What Tyson 2.0 does

Tyson 2.0 is a privately held celebrity-branded cannabis company founded by former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson in 2021–2022 and domiciled as Tyson 2.0 Inc. in Nevada, with its operating headquarters listed in Las Vegas. The company sells premium cannabis products — premium flower, pre-rolls, the Round 12 infused line, Mike Bites and Night Bites edibles, concentrates, tinctures, all-in-one vapes, vape cartridges, and the Pocket Pigeon live-rosin device — alongside branded merchandise (t-shirts priced at $40, the Mike Bites Dog Toy at $15) and operates the Bite Club loyalty program. Distribution is asset-light and executed almost entirely through exclusive licensing deals with regional cannabis operators; named licensees include TerrAscend Corp for Pennsylvania and Maryland (via Apothecarium dispensaries and wholesale partners) and Seven Point Distributors for Colorado, with the brand reportedly present in 20+ US states plus Canada, the Netherlands, Thailand, and Australia.

The revenue model combines (i) cannabis product sales routed through licensed dispensaries under those exclusive licensing agreements, generating one-time license fees and licensing royalties, (ii) branded merchandise sales via the company's own Shopify-hosted e-commerce storefront, and (iii) recurring engagement through the Bite Club loyalty program. The company has raised approximately $26.6M in disclosed funding, including a $9M Series A in June 2022 led by JW Asset Management, and reports selling over 4,000 pounds of cannabis flower since inception. Customer-facing technology is limited to the Shopify storefront and a basic store-locator; there is no proprietary software platform, API, or AI capability disclosed. The company has been operating with a 1–10 employee team and is currently navigating material governance disruption following the November 2023 termination of former chairman Chad Bronstein, ex-CEO Adam Wilks, and former CLO Nicole Cosby, with active civil racketeering litigation and a Delaware Chancery Court books-and-records action pending.
