(“TAE”) today announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement to combine in an all-stock transaction valued at more than $6 billion.

Highlights:

Transaction to create one of the world’s first publicly traded fusion companies. Deal to combine TMTG’s access to significant capital and TAE’s leading fusion technology.

In 2026, the combined company plans to site and begin construction on the world’s first utility-scale fusion power plant (50 MWe), subject to required approvals.

Additional fusion power plants are planned and expected to be 350 – 500 MWe.

Fusion power plants are expected to provide economic, abundant, and dependable electricity that would help America win the A.I. revolution and maintain its global economic dominance.

TMTG’s balance sheet to accelerate the path to power. The transaction will combine the strength of TMTG’s strong balance sheet with TAE’s leading technologies. As part of the transaction, TMTG has agreed to provide up to $200 million of cash to TAE at signing and an additional $100 million is available upon initial filing of the Form S-4.

TAE’s next-generation fusion technology is poised for commercial application. After more than 25 years of research and development, TAE has significantly reduced fusion reactor size, cost and complexity. TAE has built and safely operated five fusion reactors and raised more than $1.3 billion in private capital to date from Google, Chevron Technology Ventures, Goldman Sachs, Sumitomo Corporation of Americas, NEA, the visionary family offices of Addison Fischer, the Samberg Family, Charles Schwab, and others.

Professor Loureiro's specific focus was the biggest hurdle in this process: turbulence. When plasma gets hot, it becomes violent. It wants to escape the magnetic cage holding it. Loureiro developed complex mathematical theories and computer codes, such as Viriato, to predict and control this chaos. He was the expert on keeping the fuel hot enough to burn.

If you research TAE this is the exact science they hope to use in their primary path to commercial fusion using Hydrogen Boron which has zero radioactivity but requires much higher temps than their plan B backup fuel deuterium-tritium (DT).

If the Boron approach works out they can build the reactors right next to Wal Mart instead of having to put them in the boonies for safety reasons and will also face much less regulatory hurdles.
