NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blue Gold Limited (NASDAQ:BGL) ("Blue Gold" or the "Company"), a next-generation gold development and technology company, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement for a $10 million private investment in public equity ("PIPE") with Hudson Dunes FZCO ("Hudson Dunes"), a global commodity trading enterprise headquartered in Dubai, UAE.

Under the terms of the agreement, Hudson Dunes will purchase 2,500,000 ordinary shares of Blue Gold at a price of $4.00 per share. The investment represents a strategic expansion of the relationship between the two companies and further aligns Hudson Dunes as both a capital partner and a commercial counterparty across Blue Gold's gold trading and tokenisation platform.

The PIPE investment follows the previously announced partnership between Blue Gold and Hudson Dunes, which includes (i) a gold supply agreement providing for up to 1 million ounces of physical gold to support tokenisation activities, and (ii) a $15 million proprietary gold trading facility to enable Blue Gold to undertake recurring gold trades in partnership with Hudson Dunes.

"This $10 million equity investment meaningfully strengthens our balance sheet while further aligning our interests with Hudson Dunes as we scale both our proprietary gold trading activities and our Standard Gold Coin platform," said Andrew Cavaghan, Chief Executive Officer of Blue Gold. "This investment reflects Hudson Dunes' conviction in our long-term strategy to build a vertically integrated mine-to-market gold business. As we move into our first full year of revenue generation, having a strategic commodity trading partner also participate as an equity investor reinforces the commercial foundation of our model."

The net proceeds from the PIPE are expected to be used for working capital, general corporate purposes and to repay certain debt obligations.

The offering is expected to close on or about March 9, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. The securities issued in the PIPE have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and were offered in a private placement pursuant to an exemption from registration.
