Aether Holdings agrees to buy 60% of Noviant for $3.6 million, adds $1.62 million note
On August 5, 2026, subsidiary Aether Compute agreed to buy 60% of Noviant's fully diluted equity from four sellers for $3.6 million, paid with about $2.7 million in restricted company shares and $900,000 in cash. The same day, Aether Holdings sold Streeterville Capital a secured note with $1,620,000 principal for a $1,500,000 purchase price, secured by substantially all of its assets, which shareholders should weigh alongside the share issuance.
Key points
