TruGolf to acquire tokenization firm Polymath in Nasdaq listing move
What's the deal? TruGolf HoldingsDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, the Nasdaq-listed golf simulation company, will acquire Canadian tokenization firm PolymathDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → in exchange for Class A common stock and non-voting Series C preferred stock. The companies signed the agreement on August 17, 2026, bringing one of the first regulated blockchains for tokenised securities to the public markets.
What each side does: Polymath is a privately held technology company focused on the issuance, compliance, and lifecycle management of regulated digital securities. It created PolymeshDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, an institutional-grade Layer-1 blockchain built specifically for regulated assets, embedding compliance, identity verification, and governance into the base layer. TruGolf will remain listed on Nasdaq and continue running its golf simulation business.
The numbers: Polymath reported $4.2 million in revenue for 2025 and assets totalling $21 million. Alongside the deal, TruGolf will raise $3.0 million in gross proceeds (stated value) from existing holders of its Series A preferred stock at closing.
What's the endgame? Tokenisation represents real-world assets — securities, funds, and private investments — as digital tokens on a blockchain, potentially making illiquid assets faster to issue, cheaper to administer, and tradable around the clock. After acquiring Polymesh Labs earlier in 2026, Polymath unified the blockchain and its tokenisation platform, giving institutions a single path to issue and manage regulated assets on-chain.
What it means for shareholders: Polymath's shareholders will become stockholders of the combined company, receiving a mix of Class A common stock and Series C preferred stock. Natalie Hirsch, Polymath's chief financial officer, will serve as chief financial officer and chief operating officer of the combined company after closing.
Brenner Adams, TruGolf's chairman, said the deal gives the company “exposure to one of the fastest-growing areas of financial infrastructure while the golf simulation business continues to operate with full focus and continuity.” He added that combining the two businesses “should accelerate TruGolf's path to profitability.”
The signal: The transaction reflects a broader push to bring blockchain-based financial infrastructure into public markets, where regulatory credibility and access to capital matter most. By routing a compliance-focused Layer-1 chain onto Nasdaq through an existing listed company, the deal tests whether institutional tokenisation can scale within traditional market structures.
