Due to the hype generated on social media, shares of Raspberry Pi rose 94%. A post on social media stating that popular AI agents could significantly increase demand for inexpensive single-board computers, such as those from Raspberry Pi, affected the company's share price.
The situation with Raspberry Pi sales
For AI agents such as OpenClaw, relatively inexpensive machines like the Raspberry Pi 5 or Apple Mac mini can be used. However, Raspberry Pi does not sell its computers directly to consumers, so there has been no increase in demand for its products yet.
At the end of 2025, a YouTube channel with an audience of 4.1 million recommended running OpenClaw on a Raspberry Pi computer. Some enthusiasts have already tested running lightweight versions of PicoClaw and NanoClaw on older models from the company. The first Raspberry Pi single-board computer was released in 2021, and the commercial division appeared on the stock exchange in 2024.
