RYVYL raises $5.1M in private placement backed by founder-affiliated investors
What's the deal? RTB Digital, Inc.Dealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → (NASDAQ: RTB), which operates as RYVYLDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, raised roughly $5.08 million in gross proceeds through a private placement of common stock, the company announced on September 4, 2026. It sold 456,306 shares at $11.13 each to 12 investors under securities purchase agreements.
Who's backing it? The buyers include people and entities affiliated with RTB's founders and principal stockholders. The offering was run directly by RTB's officers, without a broker-dealer or other participant.
The fine print: The shares were sold under Regulation 506(b) as restricted stock, so they cannot trade freely until registered or sold under Rule 144. They carry registration rights, including a one-time demand registration exercisable 180 days after issuance.
Why now? RTB said the capital bolsters its balance sheet as it works to finalise a previously announced strategic partnership, now pending final diligence. The company expects to apply a previously disclosed $10 million deposit toward that transaction's consideration.
What could go wrong? Issuing new shares dilutes existing shareholders. The registration rights could also create selling pressure once the restricted shares become eligible for resale.
The signal: At about $5.08 million, this is a modest raise, and the participation of founder-linked investors points to insider confidence rather than fresh outside conviction. The update, RTB said, aims to "eliminate uncertainty in the marketplace" as it closes in on its partnership deal.
