The Nasdaq-listed company, trading under AGRI, will soon rebrand as AVAX One, with a mission to become the first public company on Wall Street fully dedicated to owning Avalanche’s native token, AVAX. The firm is planning to raise about $550 million to fund this vision, signaling a new bridge between traditional markets and blockchain infrastructure.
Global names like KKR, Apollo, and J.P. Morgan Chase have tapped their technology to experiment with tokenizing traditional assets such as funds and credit products. With $6.2 billion staked on the network, Avalanche has emerged as a trusted platform for real-world financial applications.
A New Public Gateway to Blockchain
Company leaders frame this move as more than a brand shift. “The architecture of financial markets is changing, and programmable blockchains like Avalanche are the new foundation,” said Jolie Kahn, CEO of the company. Her team aims to maximize AVAX ownership on a per-share basis, meaning that public shareholders gain direct exposure to the token’s growth.

The company’s vision borrows inspiration from Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway model. Instead of insurance and railroads, however, the focus will be on fintech and tokenized assets. Matt Zhang, founder of Hivemind Capital and nominated chairman, explained that AVAX One will first accumulate AVAX in a disciplined way. Over time, the strategy includes acquiring fintech firms and migrating them onto Avalanche. This approach could create what Zhang calls a “growth flywheel,” where the company’s holdings and ecosystem participation reinforce one another.
The plan is ambitious. AVAX One aims to control more than $700 million worth of AVAX tokens. To get there, it has secured around $300 million through a private investment in public equity (PIPE), pending shareholder approval, and is pursuing another $250 million through equity-linked financing.

Heavyweights in the financial world are already backing the effort. Anthony Scaramucci of SkyBridge Capital and Brett Tejpaul of Coinbase Institutional have joined as advisers. More than 50 investors, from ParaFi to Galaxy Digital and Digital Currency Group, are also participating. Scaramucci, who has committed to tokenizing assets on Avalanche, called tokenization “the single biggest theme for the next decade of finance.”
