PIPE

Relevant-Goal-3008

SE filings from them:  Filing #1: The Insider Exit Queue The first filing registers 187 million shares for early backers, PIPE investors, and consultants to sell. Think about it: Instead of paying consultants and service providers in cash,  $SRXH  / $EMJX is paying them in stock. Those people don't want to hold the stock; they want their money. This filing gives them the legal green light to dump those 187 million shares of  $SRXH  / $EMJX directly onto the public to cash out. Filing #2: The Infinite Money Printer The second filing is the real killer. It registers 2.5 BILLION shares for a single funding partner: Keystone Capital Partners. This is called an Equity Line of Credit (ELOC).  Every time the  $SRXH  / $EMJX needs cash to keep the lights on or fund Eric Jackson's trading account, they don't go to a normal bank. Instead, they print millions of new shares and hand them to Keystone. Keystone then immediately sells those shares to retail Investors.

I’m holding IMUX. My thesis is mainly the Phase 3 ENSURE-1/2 MS readout by year-end: large twin trials, placebo-controlled design, IDMC futility passed with no upsizing, and the feburary PIPE means they’re funded through it. Definitely not risk-free. MS relapse rates can drift lower, and CALLIPER missed its primary in PMS. But at sub $15 I think the setup is asymmetric if vidofludimus hits. Buyout optionality is a bonus the way I see it, not the main reason I’m in.

They cancelled their most recent ATM and took no outside financing to buy the data center, and the recent PIPE was at $6.80 with a 6 month lockup (ends around August) Dilution risk is low which is a huge plus

Thoughts on $FCRS (commons) & FCRS/WS (warrants)? For anyone unfamiliar, $FCRS is FutureCrest Acquisition Corp — Tom Lee’s SPAC. Tom Lee also has a publicly known connection to Beast Industries through BMNR’s reported investment. Separately, Beast management has publicly discussed the broader idea of giving fans potential ownership access to the company someday. Obviously no known connection to FCRS specifically, and a deal this size would likely require substantial PIPE funding anyway. Just following public info and industry overlap. Curious what others think — pure insanity or at least a small possibility?

No disrespect but does guessing the target at this stage really matter ? If you are looking for an indicator of quality, there are much better ones for a desktop investor (% of institutional investors, PIPE size.....) To have a systemic approach (rinse and repeat), less guess work and more solid (but modifiable) decision points are way more valuable in my view.

**Title: DD: Stop looking at the Texas real estate. The FABC board tells you exactly what this micro-float actually is.** Everyone is looking at Fabric.AI ($FABC) and wondering why a failed EV/crypto shell suddenly pivoted to AI data center interconnects with Kopin ($KOPN). Some think it's pure vaporware. Others think it's a Texas colocation real estate play because their office is down the street from Dell's HQ. You are all missing the biggest tell on the tape. When you look at the board of directors, you immediately realize you are not looking at a board of semiconductor engineers. You are looking at a highly specialized tactical team of financial engineers, corporate lawyers, and M&A turnaround veterans. Here is exactly who is managing this $7M market cap, 1.44M float shell: * **Sebastian Giordano (The Turnaround Architect):** CEO of Ascentaur LLC. He specializes in C-Level consulting for distressed public companies, capital raising, and M&A. He is the operator who knows exactly how to take a broken asset (the legacy Ayro shell) and completely restructure its capital stack for a new purpose. * **Zvi Joseph (The SEC Shield):** Former Technology Counsel at Hughes Hubbard & Reed and Deputy General Counsel at Amdocs, holding advanced Corporate Governance certifications from Harvard Business School. When you pivot a legacy shell and transition tickers, you need someone with this exact profile to keep the SEC compliance bulletproof so short sellers can't tie you up in frivolous litigation. * **Gregory T. Schiffman (The Capital Custodian):** A CPA with 25+ years of corporate development and M&A experience, including managing global financial operations at Hewlett Packard. He is there to handle complex capital structuring and ensure the shell is pristine for incoming institutional capital. * **Wayne Remell Walker (The Micro-Cap Veteran):** Former Senior Counsel at DuPont and a serial independent director. He has extensive experience navigating the specific structural hurdles, PIPE deals, and compliance realities of small-cap Nasdaq holding companies. **The Takeaway** Men with this level of legacy pedigree (Harvard, HP, DuPont) do not sit on a microscopic $7M shell company board for resume padding. They certainly do not risk their SEC compliance records on micro-cap vaporware. They only step onto a board like this to oversee a highly structured, asymmetric financial event. Kopin didn’t need Fabric.AI for its engineering talent. Kopin already operates DoD-certified cleanrooms and has the physical MicroLED tech to solve the copper thermal bottleneck in AI data centers. What Kopin needed was a clean, low-float financial vehicle to house this specific AI infrastructure IP so they could bring it to market without having to execute a massive, dilutive traditional IPO. Josh Silverman and this exact board of directors provided the M&A, legal, and financial architecture to make that happen. This isn't a startup trying to figure out how to run a business. This is a special operations unit of financial engineers keeping the corporate vehicle perfectly pristine while they wait for the engineers in the cleanroom to hand them the tape-out prototype. They built the shell. Kopin is dropping in the physics. https://preview.redd.it/a7wbarkj9n2h1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d71ff9a89f46435845b1ea775e7857043d05220c

Look honestly I didn't know what the Reg SHO Threshold list was before your post but after speaking to ChatGPT I've found a potential explanation for it being on the list that isn't naked short selling. I'd love your thoughts: Being on the threshold list does **not** automatically mean illegal naked short selling. It just means there were persistent fails-to-deliver (FTDs) for 5+ settlement days. In CXAI’s case, the timing lines up much more closely with the dilution/capital raise. When a microcap does a big financing (PIPE, convertibles, warrants, equity agreement, etc.), investors often short or sell *against* shares they know they’ll soon receive. But the new shares may not be fully issued, cleared, registered, or delivered yet. That creates a settlement mismatch: * shares sold now, * shares delivered later, * temporary FTDs in between. If enough FTDs persist, the stock lands on the Reg SHO threshold list. A 30–50% dilution event also naturally causes: * heavy selling pressure, * arbitrage trading, * hedging, * lower price per share, * weaker sentiment, * higher volume, * and more settlement stress. So the sequence is often: Financing/dilution → heavy selling + settlement delays → FTDs → Reg SHO listing not: Reg SHO listing → stock gets pushed down Could aggressive shorting still exist? Sure. But Reg SHO alone is not proof of illegal naked shorting, and in small-cap dilution plays, financing-related FTDs are extremely common. Here's the dates of stock delivery for reference: January 26-28, 2026: 4,616,481 shares — Pre-Paid Purchase #1. Price: $0.24024 per share. Proceeds: approximately $1.11M. February 17 — March 23, 2026: 10,028,891 shares — Pre-Paid Purchases #1 and #2, six dates. Prices: $0.156793 to $0.199381 per share. Proceeds: approximately $1.75M. March 30 — April 10, 2026: 4,116,659 shares — Pre-Paid Purchases #1 and #2, four dates. Prices: $0.154427 to $0.180453 per share. Proceeds: approximately $740K. April 13-17, 2026: 7,304,178 shares — Pre-Paid Purchases #2 and #3, three dates. Prices: $0.144872 to $0.154427 per share. Proceeds: approximately $1.07M.

The put option has been terminated, which was almost certainly a condition of completing the merger. Chardan/Qumulus/ATW would under no terms agree to closing a PIPE while a put option exists that could strip DNAX away and trigger an event of default under the previous DNA Holdings note. Other than that, the 10-q is largely a nothing burger. The press release, however, is far more interesting. "AI" is mentioned 10 times (and more importantly, for the first time) as part of the company's go-forward strategy. The phrase "decentralised AI" is also used (qumulus AI's business plan). It is clear to me that this language is being used to bridge the company between what it is today and what it will eventually become. It is difficult to say exactly when this will complete. The ATW note demands this is all sorted out by September. Concurrently, SONM is unlikely to survive the next 10-Q (due mid August), as it would have to report zero revenue again. My hope is that the transaction closes in June. However, it would not surprise me if we see another S1-A with Q1 financials, which could drag things out to July. At this point, all the housekeeping appears to be done. Any more S1-As to my mind would surely be overkill, but every filing has proven to make sense in retrospect, so who knows.

The [press release](https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/298202/DNA-X-Inc.-Reports-First-Quarter-2026-Financial-Results) also makes reference to AI a total of 10 times, including "decentralised AI" (qumulusAI's business model). This is the first time the company has made reference to AI as part of its go-forward strategy, and is almost certainly using this language to bridge the company between what it is now and what it will eventually become. It's hard to say when exactly now this transaction will close, but certainly DNA cannot survive another 10-Q showing zero revenue. They were able to get away with it this time because in Q1 DNAX was not consolidated, so revenue appeared as "other income".

Maybe, or rather a condition precedent. What CMA CGM is doing in this PIPE is not as clear.

May not hold full stake through merger. I just think asymmetric risk exists with floor at $10.xx. We have clarity act likely being passed in next 6 weeks for stablecoins, huge securitize partnerships (e.g. computer share), and strong PIPE into the SPAC. Swinging for fences, and would be happy with $15 pre-merger and likely will hold some stuff.

#TLDR --- Ticker: HQ (Horizon Quantum Holdings) Direction: Up 🚀 Prognosis: Buy Shares and hold until the market connects the dots (or Sept 2026 lockup) Catalyst: A YouTube video with exactly 659 views Dietary Preference: Crayons (Red ones taste like quantum physics) **Summary:** Horizon Quantum Holdings ($HQ) is a pre-revenue quantum software SPAC that is heavily intertwined with quantum hardware giant IonQ. HQ is essentially building the "AWS of quantum" software layer directly on top of IonQ's recently published hardware blueprint. The connections between the two companies are massive: same Oxford roots, same SPAC chairman (Harry You), IonQ led HQ's PIPE, and IonQ just pre-sold HQ a $35M quantum computer system. Both CEOs basically confirmed this shadow-alliance on their respective earnings calls this week. It's a high-risk play with zero current revenue, but it has a massive cash runway, elite Fortune 500 board members, and DARPA defense contract potential. The broader market hasn't noticed the spiderweb of connections yet, making this a prime early-entry setup.

I'm not sure why people are so invested in this one with the amount of possible dilution the S4 laid out. Up to half a billion in convertible notes, issuance, warrants and PIPE financing.

Look, the math only works if you stop looking at this as a "retail turnaround" and start seeing it as the birth of Teddy. The trademark filings from February weren't just for some children’s books or a few mugs; they were a surgical strike. RC has 15+ trademarks spanning everything from insurance and finance to a full-blown online marketplace. If you’re tracking the timing, he locked those down right as he started quietly accumulating that 5% stake in eBay. This isn't GameStop buying eBay; this is Teddy Holdings using GameStop’s balance sheet as a launchpad to build a diversified "Infinite Tech Berkshire." The "Sultan" Bridge to Reality The $55.5 billion gap is the elephant in the room. Everyone is screaming about dilution because GME's market cap is a fraction of the bid. But that’s old-school thinking. Enter the Sultan Almaadeed / Qatari connection. If Almaadeed puts a representative on the board, he’s not there to help sell more used copies of Call of Duty. He’s there as the Institutional Shield. The PIPE is the Secret Sauce: Instead of dumping shares on the open market and killing the price, RC does a private deal. A sovereign wealth fund or Sultan’s ENVST group buys a massive block of "Teddy-era" GME shares directly. They get them at a fixed price; RC gets the $15B–$20B in cash he needs to bridge the TD Securities loan and the cash-on-hand. Zero Dilution Panic: Because it’s a PIPE, that money hits the balance sheet without the "Apes" getting diluted into oblivion on the public tape. It’s a vote of confidence from the literal deepest pockets on Earth. Why the Board Seat Changes the Game Having a Sultan-linked rep on the board turns GameStop into a Global Holding Company overnight. Permanent Capital: Sovereign funds don't play for next quarter; they play for next century. This gives Teddy the "permanent capital" model that made Buffett rich. M&A Muscle: These guys own half of London and massive stakes in global tech. They bring the "adult in the room" credibility to help RC gut eBay’s $2B in bloat and integrate their logistics into a new, blockchain-backed marketplace. The "Teddy" Transition: With a sovereign backer, RC doesn't need the GameStop name to carry the weight anymore. He can migrate the whole circus under the Teddy Holdings LLC banner, housing GME, eBay, and whatever insurance/fintech play he just trademarked as separate subsidiaries.

Been watching MRLN, it's a recent de-spac that works on autonomous flight systems. They did an additional PIPE offering today adding a ton of dilution, which is odd since they're fat with cash from the SPAC. Definitely a high risk play, bit really interesting if the thesis plays out.

I have a lot of warrants at a good cost basis, was expecting a better pop once the DA was announced from LOI, but… nothing. Investor Presentation yesterday I listened to, but I think the main issue is they have no PIPE at all, 4M anchor of the 20M they require ( desire) to close. No one seems interested, which is too bad as by the time the mine is active Lithium prices could spike again. Stuck on OTC doesn’t help either

I agree the QMLS seems confident they will be a public company soon. However isn't that just because they are straight up pursuing a direct listing? Can't they just remove SONM from the equation and direct list? I guess what I am wondering what is the pros and cons of direct listing themselves vs using SONM as a PIPE merger? Why is QAI messing with the S1s the last few months? Why do they need SONM?

nomadichedgehog

Correct. And there's nothing in the allbirds proxy statement indicating that merger or PIPE discussions have taken place with any counter parties. You cannot solicit shareholders to vote for an asset sale and leave out that kind of information. It's the kind of thing you go to jail for. On another note, QumulusAI just put out the PR on the ATW note (signed 26 March, the day before SONM had 1 million spike in volume). This isn't news to us, but the fact they've put it out in a PR is promising because the convertible is tied to Qumulus going public. They cannot access the 45 million without becoming a public company. The timing also coincides with SEC review of the last S1-A - qumulus will have had their comments by now. Finally, they've re-iterated the GPU roadmap, albeit reduced from 23k to 21k GPUs. It does seem like Qumulus are extremely confident they will be a public company soon.

Here is what my bot is saying : The current cash-in-trust for $CEPT is approximately $10.43 per share. While redemptions are a common risk for SPACs, this merger is uniquely "de-risked" by several institutional safeguards: • $225M PIPE Backstop: Securitize has secured a committed $225 million PIPE (led by Arche, ParaFi, and Hanwha), ensuring the company is well-funded even if redemptions are high. • Source: SEC Exhibit 99.1 - Business Combination Press Release : https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2034269/000121390025102783/ea026272001ex99-1_cantor2.htm • 100% Institutional Roll-over: Unlike many speculative deals, BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, and ARK Invest are rolling over 100% of their equity. They are not taking any cash off the table. • Source: SEC S-4 Filing - Merger Terms : https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2034269/000121390025102783/ea026272001ex99-1_cantor2.htm • Squeeze vs. Free Fall: Because 70% of the market share is already dominated by Securitize and its top holders are locked in, a "low float" scenario is more likely to cause a supply squeeze than a collapse, as institutional demand remains high. • Source: Benchmark Analysis - $16.00 Price Target : Investment firm Benchmark initiates coverage of Securitize, giving it a buy rating | 律动BlockBeats on Binance Square https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/307662768545377 The deal is expected to finalize in the first half of 2026.

You're right on most of the fixed-strike facilities: — May 2024 Convertible ($9M principal): fixed $22.50, about 12× current $1.83. Not diluting now. — May 2024 Warrants: fixed $22.50. Same. — August 2022 public warrants (AIMDW): $106.25, effectively dead. On those, no current-price dilution. Agreed. Three things that still matter though: 1. **Two Lind Global warrant tranches have Full Ratchet price protection.** Jan 2024 ($10.80 strike, 102K warrants) and Sep 2023 ($22.50 strike, 138K warrants) both have "Full Ratchet, Proportional Adjustment" clauses. If AIMD does any new issuance at a lower price — ATM sale, new convertible, fresh PIPE — those 240K warrants automatically reset their strike DOWN to match. Deep OTM today, in the money the moment a new raise happens. 2. **Baby shelf limits are binding.** Their May 2024 $200M shelf is baby-shelf-restricted. Current raisable capacity is only \~$807K. Stock needs to reach $16.71 to clear the baby shelf and unlock the full $200M. That's the structural incentive for every catalyst announcement — walk the stock toward $16.71 so the company can actually tap the shelf meaningfully. 3. **The HC Wainwright ATM is nearly exhausted.** About $272K remaining of a $2.71M facility. Expect a fresh S-3 and new ATM as the next capital event — it's coming. So the pump-catalyst pattern isn't really about current-price dilution — you're right that most tranches can't dilute at $1.83. It's about walking the stock toward unlocking the $200M shelf ($16.71 trigger) and ratcheting those Full Ratchet warrants on any new deal. That's the structural incentive behind the platform-story announcements. Or at least how I'm reading it..

There’s no money left in trusts after redemptions, PIPE is difficult to raise, retail is pretty much done after the last two years of deSPACs and have moved on to Kalshi or option trading , and most decent targets will just IPO now. Fun while it lasted but the landscape is not anywhere near 2021.

Thanks for including my questions and for this broadcast. I put together [subtitles](https://pastebin.com/S3p4RtNC) (just in case if anyone needs them) and [a full text transcript](https://pastebin.com/ffMMuu7R) for this AMA (if anyone prefers reading it). Would love to discuss the takeaways with you guys. First off, the CEO is clearly very technical - he actually understands the difference between broker IOUs and true self-custody. A few bullish signals stood out to me: their new partnership with the NYSE legitimizes them and pulls their tokens out of the "gray market" derivative category. On top of that, the $225M PIPE and their deep web of DeFi integrations create a moat against any immediate competition. But! There are no rights or warrants available for this SPAC, so we are limited to playing the commons.

Counter-analysis: 1. **THE CASH IS IN THE BANK (AND YOUR SHARES ARE DILUTED).** The $10.5M was raised via a PIPE involving Series A preferred stock and blocks of Series B and C warrants. Raising $10.5M on a sub-$5M market cap severely dilutes the retail float. The touted "extra $20M" arrives only if warrants are exercised, creating a permanent ceiling of selling pressure (warrant overhang) that caps upward momentum. 2. **CEO IS PUTTING HIS MONEY WHERE THE INSTITUTIONS TOLD HIM TO.** In micro-cap rescue financings, a CEO buy-in is rarely a voluntary show of confidence. It is a structural requirement demanded by institutional investors. If insiders refuse to put capital at risk, the institutions walk and the deal dies. 3. **MD ANDERSON "PARTNERSHIP" IS A VENDOR CONTRACT.** This is semantic spin. MD Anderson was added in February 2026 as a clinical trial site, not a commercial partner. Biotech companies pay hospitals to run trials. It is a paid vendor relationship, not a medical endorsement. 4. **THE JUNE CATALYST IS A PHASE 1 TRAP.** The mid-2026 data for ATR-04 and ATR-12 comes from early-stage trials designed to prove safety and dosing, not efficacy. Even with positive data, Azitra is years and tens of millions of dollars away from FDA approval. This guarantees future massive dilution to fund Phase 3. 5. **THE COSMETIC SLEEPER IS A DESPERATE PIVOT.** Launching a cosmetic program immediately after a distressed financing is a standard micro-cap distraction. It generates retail hype and promises near-term revenue while cash-burning clinical trials face long regulatory timelines in the background. **The Play:** The volume is surging because warrants are being prepped to dump. The bottom is not in at $0.24. We are consolidating for the next leg down. Analysts have targets at **$2.00+** to create exit liquidity for the institutions, and retail is walking right into the trap.

Thoughts what Tom Lee’s FCRS has the ability to take public? And what sort of PIPE they can raise?

AlbertiApop2029

Hmm... >The recent moves with Azitra (AZTR) highlight a classic "micro-cap biotech" pivot. The company is essentially trying to survive a cash crunch while maintaining its long-term clinical goals. >Here is a breakdown of what these developments actually mean for the stock's outlook: >The Funding "Lifeline" (The PIPE Deal) >The $31.4 million financing deal is a double-edged sword. >The Good: It solves the immediate "going concern" risk. Before this, Azitra had only $2.1 million in cash against an $11 million annual burn. This injection provides the runway needed to reach their H2 2026 clinical data catalysts. >The Bad (Dilution): The deal involves convertible preferred stock and warrants with an exercise price of $0.123. When these convert, the number of outstanding shares will explode. For current shareholders, this means their percentage of ownership will be significantly reduced, which often acts as a "ceiling" on how high the stock price can climb in the near term. >2. The Cosmetic Pivot: Faster Path to Revenue? >Biotech clinical trials take years. By moving into cosmetic proteins/peptides, Azitra is attempting a "shortcut" to revenue. >Market Impact: Unlike drug trials, cosmetic products don't require the same multi-year FDA gauntlet. If they can successfully partner with a major skincare brand in 2026, it would provide non-dilutive cash (revenue), which the market would likely view as a major de-risking event. >3. NYSE Compliance: The Clock is Ticking >The notice of non-compliance is a regulatory "yellow flag." >The Requirement: Azitra needs at least $6 million in stockholders' equity (they were at $3.8M at year-end). >The Impact: They have until April 1, 2027, to fix this. While they aren't getting delisted tomorrow, the stock will remain under a "compliance shadow." Investors usually want to see a clear path to that $6M mark—likely through the recent funding or a future reverse stock split—before they commit long-term. >4. Upcoming Technical & Clinical Catalysts >From a trading perspective, keep an eye on these specific windows: >Mid-2026: Topline data from the first cohort of the ATR-04 Phase 1/2 trial (cancer-related skin rash). >H2 2026: Topline data for ATR-12 (Netherton syndrome). >Technical Levels: The stock recently bounced hard off its 52-week low of $0.10, reclaiming levels near $0.28. If it holds above its recent support of $0.18–$0.19, it suggests the market has "priced in" the dilution for now.

The base issue is they need money. They can’t find the phase 2 trial. The bulls acknowledge this. And if they raise on their own, they’ll dilute heavily. So the question continues to be, are they showing good enough data to get a partner? If they had secured a PIPE to announce with the data, the stock might have taken off today.

I'm down more than 80% since pre reverse split. No point in selling now but I'm also not getting my hopes up again. Unless we have insider information we'll never know. Guessing these dates will only bring disappointment. Management didn't fuck up, it's our own fault for making wild speculations. They're not waiting for NVIDIA earnings or the macro economy. I know OP put a lot of effort into this DD but he wanted the PIPE to happen so bad that he let his excitement run wild.

kokatsu_na

Honestly, the redemption rate is completely irrelevant here. The funding is already bulletproof ($150m PIPE + prefs), plus a massive $1b credit facility lined up from Goldman Sachs. If the NAV arbs want to take their $10.64 and walk away, good riddance! Let them. I am still 100% confident in the underlying business model and the elite blue-chip partners backing this deal (Morgan Stanley, Goldman, BP).

It was in yesterday’s discussion, the new LOI is with Novoheart, a subsidiary of Medera. There was no way they’d get enough cash from the minuscule remaining trust or PIPE to run their clinical trials , so downgraded to a small 100M side piece.

I researched XXI for a bit as a kind of pseudo-Tether proxy, and honestly the main thing that I came away with was that the whole company was pushed public because the SPAC opportunity was expiring and they saw it as an opportunity to capture some of that sweet MicroStrategy BTC Treasury hype just as it was dying down. There's a wall of PIPE funding equite becoming lock-up free around Summer. Unless the price of bitcoin recovers you're at a pretty significant risk of being left with the bags of early funders just as your calls expire. That being said if BTC recovers, Tether needs a place to park more of their billion and Mallers decides that he actually cares about the company then yeah, sky is the limit.

# 🚀 PSKY DD: Paramount Is Building the First Global Media Empire With Saudi Oil Money — Nobody Here Is Talking About It **TL;DR:** PSKY just won Warner Bros Discovery ($111B). But that's not the story. Saudi Arabia's $925B sovereign wealth fund is using PSKY as the distribution pipe for the largest sports content portfolio ever assembled — unlocking 400M+ Middle Eastern subscribers no Western streamer has captured. 30% float. 12% short interest. Cramer already called it a meme stock. Thesis hasn't started. # THE DEAL Thursday, Netflix walked away from Warner Bros. PSKY's $111B offer declared "superior." Stock popped 24%. You saw the pop. You didn't see WHO's behind the money: * **David Ellison** (CEO) — Larry Ellison's son, Oracle founder, Trump's closest billionaire ally * **Affinity Partners** — Jared Kushner's private equity firm * **Saudi Public Investment Fund** — $925B sovereign wealth, chaired by MBS * **Qatar Investment Authority + Abu Dhabi's L'imad Holding** Three Gulf sovereign funds. Combined **$3 trillion in assets.** First time all three joined on one deal. A sovereign wealth analyst said: "Either the deal is too good to pass, or there is a third party — say Affinity Partners — putting them together." Kushner is the matchmaker. Same playbook he used for the $55B Electronic Arts buyout 6 months ago. # THE CONTENT NOBODY CAN COMPETE WITH Post-Warner Bros, PSKY controls: CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount+, HBO Max, TNT Sports, Warner Bros Pictures, Paramount Pictures, DC superheroes, Showtime, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, Discovery, Pluto TV. Plus UFC ($7.7B exclusive), March Madness, NFL on CBS, Champions League. Top 3 media company on Earth. But that's the obvious part. # SAUDI SPENT $50B+ ON SPORTS WITH NO PIPE The Saudi fund has been buying content like a degen buying weeklies: * LIV Golf (\~$5B, merged with PGA Tour) * Newcastle United (85% stake) * 4 Saudi Pro League clubs (Ronaldo $200M/yr, Benzema, Neymar) * 2034 World Cup hosting (tens of billions) * Electronic Arts $55B buyout (EA's soccer game, Madden, racing games) * Formula One (Aramco top sponsor + Saudi Grand Prix) * Boxing (every Fury/Joshua/Usyk megafight) * Savvy Games Group ($38B pledged to esports) * 910+ sports sponsorships tracked across Saudi state entities **The problem:** Own every fight, tournament, and World Cup — but can't beam it into living rooms? That's just burning cash. Critics call it "sportswashing." That's the EXPENSE column. **PSKY is the REVENUE column.** CBS + Paramount+ + HBO Max + TNT = every delivery pipe that exists. Saudi didn't spend $50B on content without a distribution plan. PSKY IS the plan. # THE MIDDLE EAST GOLDMINE The number that should make your eyes pop: **Middle East online video market projected to grow FIVEFOLD to $8.4B by 2029.** Current streaming leaderboard in the region: Shahid 4.4M subs, YouTube Premium 3.7M, Netflix 3.0M, StarzPlay 2.3M. **Netflix has 3 million subscribers in the ENTIRE Middle East.** Door wide open. Infrastructure ready: Saudi Telecom spent $2.4B on 5G/fiber. UAE at 95% fiber-to-home. 90%+ smartphone penetration. 70% of Saudi population under 35. The Saudi fund also bought 54% of MBC Group (biggest Arab broadcaster) for $2B in late 2024. **PSKY + Warner Bros + Saudi sports content + MBC regional broadcast = first vertically integrated global media network spanning Western AND Middle Eastern markets.** Netflix doesn't have this. Disney doesn't. Amazon doesn't. # WHY THIS IS BIGGER THAN OIL Saudi produces \~10M barrels/day at $80 = \~$292B/year. Oil is finite. Vision 2030 exists because MBS knows it has an expiration date. A global sports + media + gaming empire = **recurring revenue forever.** World Cup broadcast rights. EA's soccer franchise ($2B+/year alone). Every UFC PPV, every golf tournament, every Premier League match flowing through PSKY's pipes into hundreds of millions of homes. That's not oil money. That's PLATFORM money — the Netflix model backed by a sovereign wealth fund's balance sheet and 400M+ regional subscribers with 5G and disposable income. # THE SQUEEZE SETUP * \~1B shares outstanding, **only 30% public float** (\~$3B) * 70% locked by Ellison family + RedBird Capital * \~12% short interest * Cramer flagged it meme stock after Aug 2025 pop (+60% in 2 days, 131M volume) * Trading $10-11 — analyst targets up to $31.57 $3B float company about to own CBS + HBO + CNN + Paramount+ + Warner Bros + UFC rights. Netflix is $400B. Disney $200B. PSKY post-deal could be #3... at \~$10B market cap. # THE KUSHNER TOLL BOOTH Every Saudi media investment runs through: **MBS → Kushner → Ellison → Trump's cabinet (foreign investment review)** Kushner got $2B from Saudi fund in 2021. Zero returns generated. $87M in fees collected. Fund's own screening committee recommended rejecting him — MBS personally overruled. Kushner brokered the EA deal. Backs PSKY directly. Gulf funds structured investment below foreign investment review thresholds. Who advised them where that line is? # CATALYSTS * ✅ Netflix walks, Warner Bros board picks PSKY — DONE * 🔜 Q2 2026: Regulatory review * 🔜 Late 2026: Deal closure ($650M/quarter ticking fee starts Sept) * 🔜 2027: Integration, unified streaming platform * 🔜 2029: Middle East video market hits $8.4B * 🔜 2034: World Cup in Saudi Arabia — broadcast through PSKY # RISKS Massive debt from $111B deal. Regulatory could block it. Integration is hard. Gulf in chaos from Iran conflict short-term. Public shares are non-voting — Ellisons control everything. Cord-cutting still real. # BOTTOM LINE Wall Street sees: "Legacy media buys legacy media." What's happening: "$3T sovereign wealth alliance using an American media company as distribution infrastructure for the largest sports content portfolio in history, targeting 400M+ untapped subscribers, backed by the President's son-in-law running the foreign investment toll booth." Tiny float. Shorts exposed. Multi-year catalyst runway. Almost nobody talking about it. 🚀🚀🚀 **Mods** — I connected three sovereign wealth funds, the President's son-in-law, a $55B gaming buyout, a $111B media merger, 910 Saudi sports sponsorships, the 2034 World Cup, and 400M untapped subscribers into one DD on a Sunday night while the Middle East is literally on fire. If that doesn't earn flair I don't know what does. "Saudi Pipe Layer" or "Kushner's Toll Booth" — dealer's choice. 🙏 *Positions: PSKY calls. Not financial advice. I connected dots between sovereign wealth funds, a son-in-law, and a $10 stock.*

There have been many false dawns since this journey started back in September, but I truly believe this will be my last update on this thread. For those unaware, SONM must file the audited financial statements for the DNAX acquisition (19th December) by Monday 2nd March. But it is now clear to me that SONM never intended to file these statements. The DNAX platform has zero traffic, no privacy policy page, and no terms & conditions when you try to connect your wallet. It is a complete smokescreen, and a very bad one at that. The entire purpose of the DNA acquisition was to buy a 71-day grace period with the SEC where SONM did not have to declare itself as a shell, provided it could close another IPO disclosure-level transaction in that period e.g. a super 8-k which contains full audited accounts for 2-3 years & a 200-page prospectus. The question is now whether that grace period was enough time for SONM and the theorised counter-party to close the deal. It is in this context that I have also realised that the QMLS direct listing was never about separating the hardware and software layers. They may still indeed do that down the line, but the more likely answer is that by filing to direct list, Qumulus was able to derisk its own audited financial statements and prospectus by getting the SEC to pre-review it. Now that the SEC has done that, Qumulus can roll these statements into the SONM PIPE super 8-k, effectively rendering the DNAX acquisition statements meaningless. They will effectively weaponise the regulators' approval to prevent them from shutting down the deal. A super 8-k completely derisks the merger from a Qumulus point of view. Whereas an RTO via an S-4 (as originally planned back in June) would've taken months of SEC comments and a shareholder vote to close the transaction, a super-8k closes the transaction entirely and doesn't need shareholder approval, as the PIPE investors (qumulus) will be issued with series A preferred convertible shares - this is how Chardan always do it. What gives me confidence for Monday is that if SONM didn't have a deal ready to go and were forced to file the bullshit DNAX statements, they would've filed them last night after hours in the hope that the market would forget about it over the weekend. You do not file statements that out yourself as a shell to the market and regulators on a Monday - that would be corporate suicide. This has been a crazy investigation and I never planned on going down such a rabbit hole when SONM first came on to my radar. While there is a non-zero chance this could prove to be a wild goose chase, I somehow really doubt it. Thinking about this from a pure self-interest point of view, every party would lose if this deal doesn't close: 1. SONM would become regulatory purgatory and no one would acquire them for 12 months 2. Chardan, who are not taking a fee and are getting paid in shares, will be stuck with privately valued shares that are pennies in comparison to what they usually get paid for such a deal 3. Qumulus would be unable to execute their 23k roadmap, would complete destroy their "hyperspeed" branding, and would be stuck looking for another public vehicle for another year, or IPO and give up equity they have been hell bent on not giving up. I want to thank everyone for their contributions. I've had a lot of DMs about this trade since I first wrote the proxy statement thesis and have made some real friends along the way. If this does print, you can head over to the new subreddit I made where we can discuss valuations and next steps on the QumulusAI sub (I'm not allowed to link to it here). If it doesn't, let's pretend this all never happened and never speak again. See you all on the other side.

nomadichedgehog

Any deal can die at the 11th hour, i'm not going to sit here and say there isn't a chance we get nothing on Monday. I was 90% confident earlier this week, I'm now around 75%. If there isn't a PIPE by 5.30 pm EST on Monday the risk goes up exponentially. That said, I'm going to hold this through to the end. The SONM shell is too valuable, and Chardan have completed over 700 of these transactions. If Qumulus pussy out at the 11th hour there will be a long list of companies ready to go who will want the shell, but the stock may suffer for a while until that happens. It's no one's interests at this point to walk away from the deal. Qumulus will need another year to find a public vehicle and won't be able to execute their 23k GPU roadmap and will be a laughing stock at GTC if they don't have the cash to support their business plan. Chardan are getting paid in Qumulus shares which will be worth nothing if Qumulus walk away. And SONM will become a shell and will become regulatory purgatory. Everyone loses. But stranger things have happened

“Proposed PIPE” but also no minimum cash

I completely understand your caution, but this is a fundamentally different case and I believe the market is 100% pricing this wrong. Presidio's secret sauce isn't just buying old wells, it is their proprietary software and how they radically optimize production. They completely changed the operating model. For example, pumpers no longer waste time visiting every single well every day. Instead, they use AI-generated smart routes to hit only the top 20 highest-priority wells or respond to automated alerts. They also flattened the traditional vertical management structure by eliminating middle-man field supervisors, which allowed them to cut their pumper headcount by an insane 70%. On the hardware side, they retrofitted existing equipment to drastically reduce fuel and power consumption, and they optimized their chemical treatments so they use significantly less volume. When you put all this together, it transforms a low-margin legacy well into an absolute cash cow. Honestly, considering BP is already a massive PIPE investor here, my endgame thesis is that BP will eventually just buy them out entirely off the public market to get their hands on this exact optimization tech for their own legacy assets.

kokatsu_na

I'm genuinely surprised how quiet it is around tomorrow's FTW merger vote. To me, this is easily the best de-SPAC play of 2026. The setup is incredibly clean because there’s zero drilling execution risk - they just acquire and optimize existing cash-flowing wells. Their capex is a microscopic 3%, and since their production is heavily hedged, their margins are largely insulated from oil price volatility. Operationally, they’ve managed to drive their decline rate down to just 8% compared to a 24% peer average, and they finance the operation using cheap 7% ABS debt collateralized by the wells, which beats standard E&P financing. The institutional backing is what really sets this apart. The $150M+ PIPE is locked in, with $85M from BP, $25M from Morgan Stanley, and $40M directly from management. Goldman Sachs is also stepping in with a $1 billion credit line to fund their acquisition pipeline. Add in the non-redemption agreements already secured with funds like Fort Baker, and tomorrow's vote looks like a done deal. The real kicker is the dividend. They are launching with a $1.35 payout - with talk of already bumping it to $1.50, meaning you get a 13.5% to 15% yield from day one, with a clear runway to scale it up to $2.77. That massive yield essentially creates a hard floor under the stock. If you look at peer multiples and the sheer amount of free cash flow they generate, fair value should easily be in the $25-30, range right now, not $10.

Watching NUCL / NUCLW since the ticker change yesterday. We got the usual post-deSPAC chop / profit-taking, but it’s holding up better than I expected. A few possible supports (not claiming any of these are confirmed — looking for smarter eyes): Capital backstop / PIPE: The deal included a $30M public-private investment intended to fund about ~2 years of ops, which could help confidence vs. “cashless explorer” vibes. Spring Valley sponsor halo: Curious how much the Spring Valley track record matters here (their earlier Spring Valley vehicle took NuScale ($SMR) public) - plus General Fusion ($SVAC DA). Could be some “team credibility” bid. Domestic uranium narrative: Reuters mentioned the CEO talking about restoring the U.S. uranium supply chain and potentially accelerating timelines. If policy tailwinds continue, that storyline might catch a buzz. Asset scale: They’re framing Aurora as one of the largest undeveloped U.S. uranium deposits (Oregon–Nevada border), so the “strategic asset” angle might be what’s keeping buyers engaged. Float dynamics: If redemptions/lockups made this a tight float, that alone can create weird strength/volatility. (Does anyone have a clean float number yet?) Genuinely trying to understand what’s actually holding this up right now: PIPE/cash runway, sponsor halo, sector rotation, float mechanics, or policy narrative. Thanks!

nomadichedgehog

It's not going to switch over to DNAX at all. I've come to the conclusion that the hardware/software layer separation isn't happening, and they're going to roll the entire company into SONM. The new ticker will be QMLS. The direct listing was a bait and switch for Qumulus to prepare the super-8k for the SONM PIPE and have it effectively pre-approved by the SEC and weaponise their own approval against them. Chardan are geniuses and deserve their pay day.

Maybe this is why the DAs are taking so long. All trying to get PIPE.

$134 million PIPE 👍🏻

nomadichedgehog

Nothing in life is certain, and this is not financial advice, but I would put the chances of a PIPE between Qumulus AI and the legacy SONM vehicle at over 90% at this point. As I can see you are new to the trade the best thing you can do at this point to get a clear picture of the story is read this [substack write-up](https://thealphacompass.substack.com/p/the-ai-infrastructure-company-hiding).

How certain are we there will be a PIPE with DNAX?

nomadichedgehog

The PIPE will be next week due to timings around DNA X audited financials, which are due 2nd March. They'll need to file a super-8k within 4 days of the PIPE and before 2nd March to avoid becoming a shell. This, combined with some reverse engineering of GPU deployment timelines and cash required via accessing the SONM shelf, as well as making the $600 million volume clawback option is not exercise by DNA Holdings, has led me to believe the deal must absolutely close next week. The ramp up in PRs is also noticeable. I've also re-evaluated my PT for 2026 to around $250 to $500, depending on whether or not the software layer is separated into a separate vehicle or not.

This stock is being absolutely hammered for no reason, it touches the $8.50 ish mark today which is where their PIPE offering was.. needs to be freed

SPAC_Time

[Churchill Capital Corp X Shareholders Approve Business Combination with Infleqtion](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260212817392/en/Churchill-Capital-Corp-X-Shareholders-Approve-Business-Combination-with-Infleqtion) \- CCCX CCCXW -> INFQ INFQ.WS on February 17, 2026 "The strong support from Churchill X’s shareholders is expected to result in Infleqtion receiving over $550 million of gross proceeds (the “Churchill X Proceeds”), including nearly 100% of the cash held in Churchill X’s trust account prior to the redemption deadline and more than $125 million of incremental capital raised through a common stock PIPE at the transaction valuation from leading existing Infleqtion stockholders and new institutional investors."

kokatsu_na

Right! But I was referring to the Inflection Point team as a whole, rather than just one specific SPAC. They have a knack for finding unique, non-mainstream targets - like Merlin Labs (recently raised $200M+ in PIPE), US Rare Earth ($75M+ PIPE), Intuitive Machines, etc. The point is that this is a solid team that knows how to raise capital when needed. So, even with IPOD’s relatively small trust ($146M), the setup looks much more attractive because of their ability to secure substantial PIPE investment.

kokatsu_na

Honestly, I don't think it will necessarily be space-related. It could be anything. The industry isn't the main point here - the 'rescue mission' is. It looks like the previous team couldn't find a target and brought in a heavy hitter to save face and avoid liquidation. Elliot Richmond is a veteran with over $75B in M&A transactions under his belt. Then you have David Bailin, who is incredibly well-connected - he knows family offices globally and can likely make one phone call to secure PIPE funding from a billionaire to close a deal. Plus, Jeremy Sziklay is the CFO of Nexus, which connects with philanthropists, adding another layer to their network. So we have an expert deal-hunter backed by two guys with massive connections. Given the structure and the buyback option, they are definitely in zeitnot (time trouble), so I’m about 80% sure they will announce a target very soon.

nomadichedgehog

Thanks for sharing this, glad to know more people are following. I completely agree with you. I'm also very confident we get news in next 2 weeks because the company is clearly holding back from changing the ticker until it legally has to (22nd February, which falls on a Sunday, so technically 20 February). Reasons: 1) Sonm board narrative control - will want the optics of saving the company (hence being "SONM" and not "DNAX" when pipe news is announced) 2) Qumulus AI might have their own ticker in mind - no one wants the ballache/procedures/paperwork of changing the name twice in the space of days/weeks, nevermind the unnecessary confusion this would cause to the market 3) In reference to ticker name change, there has been a change in language from "within 30 days" of asset sale consumation (december press release) to "in the near future"(asset sale press release) - implies softening/something forthcoming 4) NASDAQ only needs 2 days' notice to change ticker - why drag out a formality? 5) Ticker change causes temporary broker glitches, chaos and liquidity issues - not something you want if you have a PIPE coming 6) SONM end of January press release stating more information will be shared in coming weeks

nomadichedgehog

Nothing unexpected. Golden parachutes were written into the proxy. What I find more striking is: a) 3 legacy board members + recently appointed George Thangadurai have stayed on b) Becher’s severance package is being paid in 1 lump sum despite having previously been agreed to be paid monthly over 12 months. Point 2 in particular screams of a deal. Why would a company low on cash choose to pay a lump sum up front? Like the streeterville debt which was also paid off quickly (at a higher cost in return for removing transaction restrictions) this has all the hallmarks of clearing the house and finalizing the books ahead of final PIPE % agreement.

nomadichedgehog

Because market mistakenly thinks we're a crypto stock now, so we're going to sail where the crypto blows until the PIPE happens

METALLIFE0917

All very interesting and definitely promising cancer technology. Kazia just raised $48.5 million on a PIPE with institutional investors and the proceeds with take them through the second half of 2028 at their projected burn rate (the lost over $20 million last year). What Kazia really needs is the backing of a large pharmaceutical company like BMY/LLY/AZN for not just a credibly factor, but to get some much needed cash so they don’t have to keep diluting their equity. Wishing you profitable investing, Metal

nomadichedgehog

No one has been swindled. SONM management have spent an entire year putting out fires to get to this point. DNA X is a temporary placeholder. The PIPE will come in February. You don’t put a $1 million in revenue/day put option target into the new line of business unless you are expecting a huge transformation.

Basically all in RAYA let’s see what this one does. I’m down right now from entry earlier and I’m still holding. Not financial advice. This isn’t a recommendation to buy or sell. Could be wrong but float is around 800k and PIPE of 20m. Could totally be wrong on that not financial advice

Initially I was eager to get in straight away, but this PIPE has increased shares outstanding by roughly 300% overnight. Once the dust settles I'll be looking to add this to the port since this has given them a great cash runway for the next couple of years.

Disclosure I’m long warrants (!!?) They’re just using the empty SPAC to uplist a lithium mine, and working on raising PIPE currently. I’ve attached the investor proposal in another post, granted it’s a long shot and certainly not smart investment advice.

8k filing confirming asset sale and DNA X rebrand dropped. All debt cleared with $6.2 million in the bank. Fingers crossed for PIPE news on Monday, although press release seems to suggest more news "in coming weeks".

ok i made some more digging about MIGI and apparently "the Schedule 13D filings failed to disclose the Defendants' intent to effect a change in control of the Company through a partial tender offer for the Company's common stock at $10.00 per share and a subsequent PIPE offering of convertible preferred stock." so someone want to get partially make an offer at 10$ per share that what it say on their 8k take it how u guy want maybe we might see something tomorrow

$105M PIPE at $12.00 per share. But then they get 13.8M shares for $105M so actually $7.60 a share "including OID and commitment shares". Sounds like a preferred convertible not a common share PIPE. No further details yet.

People are getting excited because the headline sounds huge. A $12 million company talking about a $750 million gold mine feels like a no brainer at first glance. But when you slow it down, the story looks very different. First, this is not a finalized deal. It’s a letter of intent. That just means they agreed to talk exclusively for 60 days. These types of deals often change or fall apart entirely, especially with tiny companies. Second, the $750 million number is not cash. It’s a paper valuation based on estimates and assumptions. It doesn’t mean anyone is paying that amount, and it doesn’t mean the mine is producing gold today. Third, even in the proposed deal, Captivision is valued at $50 million. That already implies dilution since the stock is currently worth around $12 million. To make this happen, a lot of new shares would almost certainly be issued. Fourth, in deals like this, the mine owners usually end up with most of the company. Existing shareholders often keep a much smaller slice than people expect. Fifth, the “$750 million deal versus $12 million market cap” comparison is misleading. What matters is how much of the asset current shareholders actually own after the deal, not the headline number. Sixth, the borrow fee and zero shares available sound exciting, but with tiny stocks this often just means low liquidity. It doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a massive short position that must cover. Seventh, PIPE prices and high warrant strikes don’t mean smart money thinks the stock is worth those levels. Those investors usually get protections that regular shareholders do not. Bottom line, this kind of setup can definitely run on hype and momentum. But it’s not proof of real value yet. It’s a speculative catalyst play, not a confirmed $750 million company overnight

Interesting, that's a whole lot going on for one day. If we do get an announcement about PIPE I'm curious how the market might react to that, if it'd be an immediate rerate or if it'll take some time to digest. I'm deep enough in the weeds from reading your DD that I think I gotta hop in at open today. Feel like Charlie day in the mailroom lol. I'm pretty damn convinced you're right about the merger, I'm just curious to see what the price action will be immediately after the news

nomadichedgehog

Good question, and the answer is what looks like convergence and co-ordination between all 5 parties involved - SONM, Qumulus AI, Permian Labs, Chardan & DNA. * SONM filing 8k confirming asset sale (and probably QAI PIPE) * Likely PYUSD deployment by Permian Labs * [QAI attending PTC](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/qumulusai_ptc-ptc26-aiinfrastructure-activity-7417247833814179840-iVDw?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAEWkMOQBN3ZVHz6_kZYHlsRsRAkC-zQzcNQ) in Hawaii with focus on edge AI/telecom and capital markets guy is on their team at the event. 4,000 companies are attending. * Mike Maniscalco on a hyperscaler panel on Tuesday at above event * [DNA X & Chardan co-sponsoring an event ](https://puertorico.srax.com/)on Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday in Puerto RIco where the main panel is investing in decentralised AI infrastructure. The main guests are family offices and equity groups. * Leasing accountant expert from Atlanta, Georgia (QAI HQ) presenting at DNA X event

Lmao are you new here? Look at just about every chart. It's down. They are all shit. What you are referring to is a needle in a haystack. The NUAIs of the world are very rare. Accept that. And you won't spend your time mad about a stock you have no stake in. To answer, yes, all of these stocks are gambles. I posted about this stock at 1.20 in the lounge. It ran to 1.70 a few days later and has stair stepped up ever since. It is objectively undervalued and the moment they mention their share count/cash on hand in PR along with news - it will go up. PIPE investors at 1.31 for a reason. And then it will go down again. Because they all do. They all go down, then up, then down further. Rinse repeat.

Credit to a team that never gives up Allegro Merger Corp, a 2018 SPAC which was close to closing their 2019 DA with TGI Friday's only to have Covid hit and consequently terminate in April 2020. They liquidated the SPAC trust but kept the shell. Six years later, they announce a deal with a Nvidia-backed quantum computing chip company with a $65M PIPE. Never say never!

I saw your previous post and also the one from your other brother, where he talked about the plant in Ohio and Augusta less than a month ago, and that’s when I started trading $PCT. I started gaining confidence in it and bought at $9. Lately I’ve been reading that there could even be a short squeeze, since short interest has increased the cost for short sellers by up to 16%. Less supply and way too much demand. And with the PIPE warrants that allow investors to buy until March 17, 2026 at $11.50, it feels like they’re actively pushing the price up. Just the day before yesterday they announced they’re opening offices in Bangkok, and today they dropped the news that they’ll be at the CFP final at Hard Rock Stadium. I honestly feel the stock is still cheap. I’m holding about 1,000 shares but I want to increase my position, and since the market is still underestimating Valeria Mars, now feels like the right time to keep buying. Either way, thanks to your post and your brother’s, I’m up 25% in just three weeks. That’s fucking insane, dude. I appreciate you.

100% I thought I mentioned the equity lines and ATM. But look at the price history. They always run the price up first. As for the PIPE, non toxic @ 1.31, a few individuals. They know the cash position too. Acquisition incoming, IMO.

squirrelwatcher_

Check outs - just ran the filings and can confirm the \~$28m ATM, $3.9m PIPE, and 7m OS post-split. Few things worth adding: - They have two active SEPAs (equity lines) with \~$21m combined capacity still available - Plus the \~$22m remaining on the ATM - That's $43m in dilution mechanisms already in place on a \~$9m market cap - The 1-for-24 reverse split was 3 weeks before the PIPE The cash position is real, but so is the dilution history - 5 offerings in the past year before the big ATM raise. Management will use these instruments.

nomadichedgehog

Another note to say that asset sale deadline is end of today. It's possible both parties could extend if they they need more time, but I'm hopeful this won't be the case given the put options in the DNA X filing suggest SONM needs to start executing its new line of business ASAP. Once the asset sale completes, SONM will have UP to 5 days to file an 8k confirming the transaction. I would expect a PIPE announcement to go hand-in-hand with the asset sale transaction or to follow shortly thereafter. Given that we did not get news yesterday or before markets opened today, it is highly unlikely they will drop good news mid-week. I would therefore expect the asset sale filing to drop AH this Friday with PIPE announcement on Tuesday before markets open, as Monday is a bank holiday.

nomadichedgehog

In light of the asset sale completing within the next 72 hours and a high probability of the PIPE being announced in the same timeframe if not by Monday 19th at the latest, I have put together a final write-up to crystallise the entire thesis from beginning to end. The purpose of this write-up is to compile everything that has been discussed so far across various reddit posts and comments into one single document/place. I expect this to be my final contribution to this thesis. Good luck to all.

Sorry for my ignorance - What is PIPE

landspeed

INHD has $40m in cash, 0 debt, 7m OS and a 3m float. PIPE close by tomorrow, 3m shares at 1.31 in the pipe.

nomadichedgehog

The market reaction will depend on the PRs we get and how long they take to drop. If we get a PR along the lines of "SONM/DNAX secures allocation for 5,800 GPUs" then you can expect this to start pumping quite high. That PR though might take a couple of months after the PIPE occurs. The PIPE PR itself might be something along the lines of an asset swap: "SONM/DNAX pivots to HPC and secures 1,100 enterprise GPUs in asset swap with Qumulus" or something similar

nomadichedgehog

There's a few things you're misunderstanding/conflating. The PIPE isn't happening via the Chardan shelf. The Chardan shelf is there to raise money by re-selling SONM shares on the market and to institutions. QMLS are a going concern and have no money to buy shares even if they wanted to buy them. The PIPE will therefore happen separately as an asset swap i.e. GPUs (financed by the Permian Labs protocol & Chardan shelf) in exchange for shares. However, the Chardan shelf is informative as to the number of shares QAI will receive as part of the asset swap. As you can see from the shelf, Chardan has the right to re-sell up to 19.44 million shares (as you correctly pointed out, this would be over time). Chardan are therefore permitted to create and re-sell a number of shares that mirrors the existing number of shares at the time the PIPE happens so that QAI doesn't become a minority shareholder. In other words: SONM shareholders currently = 1.4 million Expected QAI shareholding = 18 million 18/19.4 = 92.7%. This percentage is very close to what Party 2 were asking in the proxy statement. As for your concern about there not being enough funds, the funds will be there without any worry. The 5,800 B200s and B300s they have planned will cost roughly 290 million. If SONM need to raise $87 million (30% of 290), that would take them 87 trading days (they are capped at $1 million/day). Assuming the PIPE happens concurrently with the asset sale, that brings us to May 22. But to secure the allocation from NVIDIA and put down the deposit will not take that long at all - perhaps 1-2 months at most. Assuming a conservative, average trading price of say $20 following the PIPE re-rate, that translates to a dilution of 4.3 million shares, bringing the total number outstanding to around 23.7 million. Let's round it up to 25 million to be even more conservative. Based on the projected revenue of what 7,000 GPUs can bring in (around $200 million ARR), that still translates to a share price of somewhere between $80 and $140.

kuracoin

Given that it seems SONM/QMLS can only sell a certain amount of shares to Chardan over a certain period of time through the PIPE, how could there be enough funds for the GPUs (going with the thesis) in a timely manner? It would take forever to have the funds needed for the quick execution it seems QMLS are going for?

nomadichedgehog

I'm aware. They did a PIPE into Predictive Oncology which is becoming an Aethir treasury. Interestingly, the Aethir team collabed earlier in the year with Metastreet (Permian Labs) on another project. Both teams are looking at bridging crypto with AI in similar ways. But effectively this creates an indirect link between all parties. SONM <----> DNA X DNA X <----> Aethir Aethir <----> Permian Labs Permian Labs <-----> Qumulus AI

nomadichedgehog

Just wanted to update everyone given the QMLS direct listing news. Yes QMLS are doing a direct listing. No, that doesn't mean the thesis is dead. If anything, it is bullish and completes the final piece of the puzzle. Why? QMLS finances are dogshit. I read the 290 page s1 filing. They are burning through cash, they are not generating enough revenue to cover their debt and their auditors have them as a going concern - they will be almost bankrupt by the time the SEC approves their listing. To make this situation even more absurd, QMLS are direct listing as opposed to doing an IPO. In case you don't understand what that means, QMLS **cannot** raise ANY cash through public markets for at least 12 months after they list and they will have no underwriter. So how the hell do they plan on scaling their fleet of 5,800 GPUs they plan on deploying in 2026 (as per the filing) without cash? The answer can be found straight out of the APLD/Coreweave playbook. Just this week, [APLD announced a PIPE into EKSO](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/applied-digital-spinning-cloud-business-161728999.html), where they'll be spinning off the cloud layer of the business into EKSO while retaining the GPUs in APLD. EKSO will then lease the GPUs from APLD. Similarly, Coreweave have an SPV where all their GPUs are financed by blackstone. They lease these GPUs in the event they go under blackstone can seize them. So it's fairly obvious to me what's happening here. QMLS will split its cloud layer from the GPUs, becoming effectively a software company. It will do a PIPE into SONM (as I've expected all along) and put the GPUs onto SONM's books. SONM can then tap into the existing Chardan shelf to build out the GPU fleet, supplemented by the Permian Labs protocol. Qumulus will then lease the GPUs from SONM as and when they have customers. As mentioned, they plan on deploying 5,800 B200-B300s in 2026 in addition to the 1,100 they already have. 7k GPUs puts them effectively at around $200 ARR, putting them at a 2 to 3.5 billion dollar valuation.

nomadichedgehog

Already aware of this and already read the 290 page s1 filing. They're splitting the assets/GPUs from the cloud like APLD just did this week and like Coreweave already do with their SPV. If you read carefully they are doing a direct listing without an underwriter, despite the fact their auditors have them listed as a going concern and will go bankrupt in less than a year. Which begs the question: how the hell are they going to raise cash? Through SONM's chardan s1 shelf. They'll do a PIPE into SONM and put the GPUs onto our books. They will then lease them from us.

I think the biggest things are 1. In proxys they say other deals are in play. 2. Litigation was over the asset sale likely because of shell. In a comment I had earlier I said I felt a lot better in things when I saw this short term company announced. Dnax basically is a shell holder that can convert back or convert into shares. 3. Asset sale cures the outstanding debt to make it clean. I suspect asset sale happens at some point this month, barring injunction from lawsuits. I believe dna x moots the law suits as there is a plan. I don’t see nexim pulling out if not done exactly on the 13th. They are at the finish line and want this stuff. Proxy read in connection with 8k is needed, as 8k has to be more exact proxy can have forward looking. My guess asset sale maybe goes through mid month, may need a bit more time depending on if any emergency injunctions. Once that is through funds clear to accounts debts are paid, and confirmed to be paid. They do a final round of due diligence. Then the rto pipe goes down If you read the streetville stuff in the 19th filing it says materials made privy to them is why they did the swap. If there is an asset sale to pay off debts. Why would you convert to shares of a failing company, which obviously dilutes and leads to a decrease but for you know there’s more afoot. I don’t see any weird BAGS shell being used and two tickers. I think it’s more they knew they couldn’t get the PIPE done by the 13th. They needed accounts to settle. SONM can’t go shell so they set up a placeholder business that is in reality 1.2 mill in shares to keep the lights on. Basically DNA Venture DNAX so that they could keep Bags from a shell, and to make sure they do the i’s and t’s right so no regulatory issues. Keeps them from a tight turn around window, and to stay comfy If you read th dnax portion it has one dilution exemption which is a transaction/takeover that they are privy too or something like that. Basically there’s one loop hole and its qumulus or whatever big dog is prepping to rear its head. With qumulus reverse split and bags both in October I think odds are it’s probably qumulus

nomadichedgehog

Not sure how any of that is relevant to my comment, which was explaining to the other commenter why SONM have to change the name of the ticker immediately regardless of what's happening with QAI. And as explained in the original body of the post, an S4 merger would take too long for QAI to benefit from the public vehicle. Even if it didn't, I'm not even sure QAI will have audits ready in time. So a traditional merger is not on the cards. The "merger" will be in the form of a PIPE with an asset swap. But it looks like DNA X might be some weird in-between solution that has yet to be made clear.

nomadichedgehog

I suspect when the asset sale closes (around 13th Jan) we will get some kind of PR with Qumulus. What that PR is exactly is anyone's guess at this point as this crypto treasury strategy is still a bit unclear. It could be: a) Asset swap - QAI gets SONM shares in return for putting GPU assets on the books (PIPE) b) Qumulus agrees to route all its GPU-tokenization flow through the DNA X exchange c) Some kind of fuckery where the GPUs are not on SONM's books but QAI's revenue from the GPUs is (doubtful) d) DNA X is a glorified payment processor and QAI doesn't do a PIPE e) something I haven't thought of I need a bit more time to figure out exactly what the play is here. I was a bit surprised by the press release today stating they're focusing on DNA X exclusively, which seems to completely contradict the proxy statement which says the crypto-treasury will be combined with "AI expertise".

nomadichedgehog

It's only a loss if you sell. Volatility is the price of admission for a trade with this much upside. I’m not here to trade the daily chart. If the Qumulus/DNA X deal closes as the filings, LinkedIn posts and other anecdotal data suggests, the current price is irrelevant. If I believed the market was efficient, I wouldn't be in this stock. The thesis has only got stronger since I made this post a month ago. Since then: 3rd December - [Qumulus AI on LinkedIn: "Let's go, Mike!"](https://imgur.com/a/lw3oURk) 16th December - [Chardan hires Senior Analyst in AI Infrastructure](https://www.chardan.com/article/chardan-hires-bill-papanastasiou__aUKUGxIAACMAEw7w) 17th December - [SEC issues critical "No-action" statement regarding broker dealer custody of crypto asset securities](https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/speeches-statements/trading-markets-121725-statement-custody-crypto-asset-securities-broker-dealers) 18th December - [SONM filings reveals DNA X acquired by SONM ](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1178697/000149315225028292/form8-k.htm) 18th December - [PayPal & Permian Labs introduce PYUSD for AI infrastructure Financing, 1bn incentive programme](https://www.coindesk.com/business/2025/12/18/paypal-s-pyusd-stablecoin-tapped-for-ai-infrastructure-financing) None of these are coincidences. SEC cleared the way for the AI & crypto-treasury. DNA X is the protocol for the newly announced PayPal exchange, which will give Qumulus a credit facility that pays out in USD. Chardan hire is there to initiate coverage on the new company. Mike Mulica is still sharing QAI content and QAI are hyping it up. The deal is not just alive - it's done. The asset sale has to happen. Judging by the latest filings that has to happen by end of January, hopefully by the 13th January as initially anticipated. PIPE will be announced hours later.

Does it make sense that it's a bet on CLYM116 for IgAN? JBIO's FIH HV data will be in 1H26 and CLYM116 in mid-2026, so very similar timelines. JBIO is being valued at $1.25B cap and CLYM still far less than that. JBIO has said there are 3 things that differentiate it from the current gen anti-APRIL drugs. 1) half-life. Well CLYM116 has a similar half life at 24.2 days with JBIO at 27 days. 2) prevention of large immune complexes: CLYM actually has shown their data on this and JBIO hasn't yet 3) efficacy: from the NHP data it looks similar with both drugs a bit over 70% decline in IgA but arguably CLYM gets there faster. JBIO needs 30mg/kg to get there and CLYM116 only needs 6mg/kg SC. And the mechanism is different with degrading APRIL vs very high affinity so who knows which mechanism wins out. I think it's possible it's a hedge against JBIO's readout. RA participated in the JBIO's Oct PIPE and own 10% so RA is betting on both horses...
