A Federal Ban Just Opened a Door — And Tech Firm (ZENA) Walked Through It
Dear Reader,
Policy shifts can often create big winners — and by the time most people notice, the early move has already happened.
Right now, there’s a shift happening in drones. A new national strategy just placed unmanned systems at the center of America's security priorities. The Pentagon is pushing for hundreds of thousands of American-made units. And a recent regulatory change just shut the door on the company that used to control a large portion of the U.S. market.
Someone has to fill that gap. This morning, we're looking at one small, NASDAQ-listed company that's been positioning itself to do exactly that.
Read the full report below…
America is purchasing drones. Thousands of them. Hundreds of thousands of them.
The White House just released its new National Resilience Strategy, placing commercial drones alongside AI, critical infrastructure, domestic manufacturing, and secure supply chains as technologies critical to America’s long-term resilience.
And that is only the latest signal. In January, the White House called for the largest defense budget in American history: $1.5T for fiscal year 2027, a 66% increase from current levels. The kind of number that forces an entire sector to re-rate.
Behind the momentum sits a procurement wave. The Pentagon has announced plans to spend $1B to purchase more than 340,000 American-made drones by 2027, with 30,000 of those due by July 2026. And Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued a directive ordering every Army squad to be equipped with unmanned systems by the end of 2026.
This is not a wish list. It is a mandate.
Then, in December 2025, the FCC added foreign-made drones to its Covered List, effectively banning new models from DJI and other Chinese manufacturers. DJI controlled nearly 80% of the American drone market. That door is now closing. Someone has to fill the gap.
One small NASDAQ-listed company has been building for exactly this moment. It designs drones, manufactures drones, and operates a national Drone-as-a-Service network, and it just reported 640% first-quarter revenue growth.
Now, it has signed multiple offers to acquire land surveying and geospatial services companies across the US, Canada, and Australia. Subject to closing, management expects the businesses to collectively contribute approximately C$40M in revenue during the first 12 months following closing.
ZenaTech Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA) will be topping our watchlist this morning, July 15, 2026.
About ZenaTech Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA)
ZenaTech Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA) is a business technology company that designs drones, manufactures drones, sells drones, and operates a national service network that deploys them. It also owns eleven enterprise software brands that generate recurring revenue while the drone business scales.
Not a concept. Not a pitch deck. A company that built a pro-fit-able software business first, then used that foundation to expand into drones. Three divisions: Drone Technology Solutions, Drone-as-a-Service, and Enterprise SaaS Software. All working together.

The flagship ZenaDrone 1000. Roughly 7 by 12 feet, with an interchangeable nose cone and a payload compartment that can carry temperature-controlled cargo like medical supplies or blood.
Manufacturing happens across three facilities, all in active expansion mode: a UAE facility operating since 2022 and expanded to over 22,000 square feet, a new Arizona facility being built for US defense drone manufacturing, and the Spider Vision Sensors subsidiary in Taiwan producing cameras, sensors, motors, and circuit boards with a supply chain built specifically to meet NDAA US defense requirements. That matters because roughly 80% of critical electronic components used in drones globally are manufactured in China, a dependency the US government is actively working to eliminate.
Why (ZENA) Caught Our Attention
Revenue Growth of 640%: The Numbers Are Accelerating, Not Slowing
ZenaTech Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA) just reported first-quarter 2026 revenue growth of 640% year over year, powered by its drone division. The company also reported an annualized revenue run rate of approximately C$33M based on first-quarter 2026 revenue. Management calls it a baseline, not a ceiling.
The trend behind that number is just as important. Q3 2025 revenue hit $4.35M, up 1,225% year-over-year. Full-year 2025 revenue reached $12.9M, up 558% versus $2.0M for full year 2024.
That is not a spike. That is a pattern.
"We are seeing strong demand for drone-based land surveying, mapping, and infrastructure inspection services across both the public and private sectors. As we continue integrating our recent acquisitions and deploying AI-driven flight control technologies, we expect sustained growth momentum to continue into 2026." - Dr. Shaun Passley, PhD, ZenaTech CEO
And the latest acquisition news could push the company into an entirely different revenue category. On July 14, ZenaTech Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA) announced that it had signed offers to acquire multiple land surveying and geospatial services companies across the US, Canada, and Australia.
If the transactions close, management expects the target companies to collectively contribute approximately C$40M in revenue during the first 12 months following closing. The estimate is based on unaudited information provided by the acquisition targets and management estimates, and has not been independently verified by auditors.
That C$40M is not a forecast from businesses ZenaTech hopes to build from scratch. It represents expected revenue from established operations the company is seeking to acquire, integrate, and convert to its Drone-as-a-Service model.
The Roll-Up Engine: 24 Acquisitions and a Recurring Revenue Machine
This is the part most market participants underestimate. ZenaTech Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA) is not just selling drones. It is rolling up established, under-digitized field service companies, land surveyors, inspection firms, and powerwashing businesses, then integrating drone technology to make those services faster, cheaper, and safer.
Hardware sales are lumpy. Service revenue repeats. A customer needs inspections every month, surveys every quarter, and inventory counts every week.
As of mid-2026, the company has completed 24 acquisitions across its Drone-as-a-Service platform, including the recent Green Earth Powerwashing franchise network, and has signed an offer to acquire a Western Canadian geospatial and land surveying business. Recent market research projects the global Drone-as-a-Service market could reach approximately $355B by 2032, growing at over 36% annually.

The US commercial drone market is projected to keep expanding through 2030.
Paid Military Trials Are Done. Certification Is the Next Gate.
ZenaTech Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA) has already completed paid trials with the US Air Force for medical supply delivery and with the US Navy for sub-zero climate operations. Not proposals. Completed field tests.
For Pentagon work, Blue UAS is the standard, and Green UAS is the fast-track into it. Green UAS applications are in progress for the IQ Nano, IQ Square, and ZenaDrone 1000, and the company is preparing its IQ Quad land survey drone for Blue UAS certification submission.
The company is also moving into dedicated drone defense. The ZenaDrone 2000 Maritime Interceptor and the IQ Glider launch-and-refueling platform are being developed as a cost-effective "drone-versus-drone" defense system, giving naval operators an answer to hostile drones that does not requireM-dollar missiles.

The global military drone market is projected to grow from roughly $15B in 2024 to nearly $47B by 2032.
The Quantum Edge Most Have Not Factored In
Most people see ZenaTech Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA) as a drone company. That misses a critical layer. The company is building AI autonomy platforms and quantum computing applications, including a newly announced quantum navigation system for GPS-denied drone operations in contested environments.
Its most significant initiative is Eagle Eye, a quantum-powered defense intelligence project built for US Defense and Homeland Security applications. It integrates AI drones with quantum computing to deliver predictive mission analysis, enhanced situational awareness, and optimized military logistics.

7 Reasons Why ZenaTech Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA) Is Topping Our Watchlist This Morning, July 15, 2026
1. A Five-Star Analyst. BULLISH Rating. Nearly 185% Upside Potential: Maxim Group analyst Matthew Galinko, a five-star rated analyst, has a BULLISH rating on (ZENA) with a $5 analyst target, reiterated in November 2025. That target represents nearly 185% upside potential from current levels. When only one analyst is paying attention and the rating is BULLISH, the question becomes what happens when more discover the story.
2. The Defense Tailwind Is Not a Forecast. It Is Policy: Trump has called for $1.5T in defense spending. The Pentagon wants 340,000 drones by 2027. Every Army squad must have unmanned systems by the end of 2026. And the new National Resilience Strategy puts drones at the center of America’s security agenda.
3. The DJI Ban Just Handed American Manufacturers the Market: DJI controlled nearly 80% of US commercial drones. The FCC just blocked new Chinese models from entering the market. Someone has to fill the gap, and (ZENA) is building an Arizona facility to manufacture drones specifically for US military compliance.
4. Revenue Is Accelerating, Not Slowing: (ZENA) reported a 640% year-over-year revenue increase in Q1 2026 and an annualized run rate of approximately C$33M. Full-year 2025 revenue grew 558% to $12.9M. The company is not talking about growth. It is reporting it.
5. Drone-as-a-Service Is the Differentiator No One Else Has Built: 24 acquisitions completed across land surveying, inspections, and commercial services, with infrastructure already scaling across eight-plus states. Recurring revenue in a Drone-as-a-Service market projected to reach approximately $355B by 2032. According to the company, no other drone manufacturer is executing this model at scale.
6. The US Military Has Already Tested Their Drones, and Certification Is Underway: Paid trials with the Air Force and Navy are complete. Green UAS applications are in progress for three drone platforms, with the IQ Quad being prepared for Blue UAS certification submission. That is the gateway to US government and defense procurement.
7. A Wide-Open Valuation Gap, a Fresh Russell 3000 Listing, and 50%+ Insider Control: (ZENA) has a market cap of roughly $118M. Compare that to AeroVironment at $7.32B, and Kratos at $9.03B. The company was just added to the Russell 3000 Index, and CEO Dr. Shaun Passley controls more than 50% of the voting shares, with insiders holding approximately $33M in the company. The math speaks for itself.
