Army base deal secures rare earth independence.

The company has partnered with the U.S. Army to build rare earth processing facilities on Army bases, enabling a secure domestic supply chain for heavy rare earths that are critical for defense, AI, and advanced electronics. Regulatory tailwinds include G7 caps on Chinese dependence, a January 2027 deadline for non-Chinese nexus, and strong government support. This public-private structure accelerates timelines and strengthens the business's long-term viability.

AI tailwind and acquisitions drive BSP.

Bending Spoons operates a unique platform that acquires under-monetized digital businesses and deeply integrates them to improve technology, monetization, and efficiency. AI has become a major tailwind, dramatically increasing revenue per employee from ~$1M to ~$4M, with further potential from converting only 2% of 500M monthly active users to paying. The company has doubled roughly every year, has a pipeline of over a thousand target businesses, and maintains a long-term view focused on 10-20 year value creation.
