The consideration totals $12 million, structured as a secured promissory note plus 11.55 million restricted shares of PrimeDelta common stock.
Terms. An initial $1 million payment is due on 11 August 2026. The remaining $11 million will be paid in four equal annual instalments of $2.75 million, starting in August 2027. AI Financial will also receive 20% of the proceeds from any future equity financing by PrimeDelta.
Why now? The sale follows a reported net loss of $271.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, driven largely by a drop in the value of World Liberty Financial tokens, a crypto venture tied to the Trump family. AI Financial's balance sheet leans heavily on volatile crypto assets, leaving its financial health exposed to token price swings and liabilities exceeding current assets.
What's the endgame? The payment structure ties the full $12 million to PrimeDelta's future performance and fundraising activity, which will shape AI Financial's cash flow as it manages liquidity.
What could go wrong? The deal follows a failed earlier attempt: fintech firm Perpetuals.comDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → withdrew its interest in July 2026. AI Financial and PrimeDelta also settled a data-misappropriation lawsuit in December 2025 without an admission of wrongdoing.
The signal. AI Financial's shares traded near 44 cents in early August 2026, down from above $9 in 2025. Investors are watching whether asset sales deliver enough liquidity to stabilise a company still exposed to speculative crypto holdings and mounting debt obligations.
