Summary
TruGolf Holdings, Inc., a Nasdaq-listed developer of indoor golf simulation technology founded in 1983, has agreed to acquire Polymath Research Inc., a Toronto-based blockchain company, according to a company press release. The acquisition agreement is dated August 17, 2026, and both boards have approved the transaction. Under its terms, TruGolf will issue Class A common stock and non-voting Series C preferred stock to Polymath shareholders. The common stock component is equal to roughly 19.9% of TruGolf's outstanding common shares immediately before closing, with additional Series C preferred stock also issued.
Polymath develops infrastructure for issuing and managing regulated digital securities and operates Polymesh, a Layer-1 blockchain built for regulated assets. The company reported revenue of $4.2 million for 2025 and total assets of $21 million. It acquired Polymesh Labs earlier in 2026. Publisher materials describe the combination as bringing Polymath into the public markets through a statutory amalgamation under the Canada Business Corporations Act, with TruGolf remaining Nasdaq-listed. Although the headline cites a $21 million deal, the body of the release does not state a separate consideration value, so the figure should be read as the headline's characterization rather than a disclosed purchase price.
In connection with the transaction, TruGolf will raise $3.0 million in gross proceeds from holders of its Series A preferred stock at closing. Natalie Hirsch, who has served as Polymath's CFO for two years and previously held roles at AnalytixInsight Inc. (TSXV) and Coinsquare, will serve as CFO and COO of the combined company.
Completion is expected in the third quarter of 2026 and is conditioned on TruGolf maintaining a minimum market value of listed securities of at least $10.0 million for ten consecutive trading days, along with regulatory and third-party approvals. A later publisher headline refers to TruGolf completing the acquisition and cites a $2.95 million warrant exercise, though the primary release for this story describes the transaction as pending. Publisher materials also report that TruGolf shares rose 33.87% following a tokenized financing announcement, and that the associated financing structures are expected to become operational in the first quarter of 2027 if the acquisition closes.
