LQR House Completes Acquisition of 30% Stake in Fusion Five
LQR House announced that it closed yesterday on the acquisition of an additional 30% equity interest in Fusion Five Continents Securities, a New Zealand licensed brokerage operating an AI-powered investment platform with proprietary USDT-based funding and settlement capabilities and a research agenda advancing toward quantum technologies. The closing builds on the Company's previously announced initial 24% acquisition and lifts LQR House's aggregate ownership through the 50% threshold, a milestone that establishes LQR House as the controlling shareholder of Fusion Five and is expected to result in consolidation of Fusion Five's results into the Company's financial reporting. The incremental 30% interest was acquired for $39 million, payable in USDT in accordance with the terms of the underlying Share Purchase Agreement. The valuation reflects, among other factors, the elimination of the discount for lack of control that applied to the initial minority tranche.
