Valereum announced that it has entered into a $200 million investment partnership with Valereum QGP-SP, a bespoke acquisition vehicle, in a deal that is expected to significantly bolster the company’s liquidity position, accelerate product development, and support its planned listing on a U.S. national exchange such as NASDAQ or NYSE in the first half of 2026.
Under the agreement, Valereum will receive $200 million of investment-grade, asset-backed financing that yields $10.5 million payable to the company at a 5.25% annual coupon. In exchange, Valereum QGP-SP will receive a one-year option to acquire up to 49.9% of Valereum Plc, with the option size tied to the amount and structure of capital deployed.
With this new financing, Valereum plans to enhance its capital position, advance its AI-driven tokenization and Royalty & Streaming platform, expand its Digital Asset Treasury operations, pursue acquisitions and strategic partnerships, and accelerate its entry into new markets. The company said the capital will also help support its U.S. national exchange listing process, improving global investor access and increasing visibility among institutional stakeholders.
Valereum QGP-SP, a Cayman Islands Segregated Portfolio Company associated with QGP Photonics, focuses on secured, asset-backed Royalty & Streaming financing. The firm blends institutional underwriting with blockchain-based transparency and tokenization capabilities, and all assets involved are backed by investment-grade ratings from agencies including S&P, Moody’s, Fitch, and A.M. Best.
Valereum Plc, based in the U.K., specializes in regulated tokenization platforms, digital asset infrastructure, and blockchain-enabled financial systems. The company aims to bridge traditional finance with emerging digital markets through compliance-driven, institutional-grade infrastructure.
The transaction is expected to close in approximately four weeks, pending due diligence and regulatory verification. Two QGP-appointed directors will join Valereum’s board after completion, and Valereum QGP-SP will participate in the company’s LTIP program.
