Blue Gold Limited (Nasdaq: BGL), a gold development and technology company aiming to fuse traditional mining with digital finance, has announced the successful close of a $5 million senior convertible notes private placement, alongside a $75 million equity line of credit agreement with an institutional investor.
The twin financing packages, valued at up to $80 million, are expected to provide the company with fresh capital to strengthen its balance sheet and accelerate both mining acquisitions and its innovative digital gold initiatives.
Chief Executive Officer Andrew Cavaghan described the funding as a defining step in the company’s evolution.
“This funding is a major milestone for Blue Gold.
“With access to scalable capital, we are well positioned to execute on our strategy and accelerate our vision of combining traditional mining with cutting-edge digital assets.”

The senior convertible notes, issued at an 8% original issue discount, include an initial tranche of $3.5 million maturing on September 3, 2026, and an additional $1.5 million subject to customary closing conditions. The notes bear interest at 7% per annum and are convertible at $13.51 per share.
As part of the transaction, the investor also received warrants for up to 215,299 ordinary shares at a price of $16.88 per share.
The equity line of credit, meanwhile, allows Blue Gold to sell up to $75 million in new shares to an accredited investor over a defined period, contingent on market conditions, SEC approval of a registration statement, and other regulatory requirements.
Together, the two financing agreements give Blue Gold flexible access to capital at a critical moment in its growth trajectory.
Strengthening mining portfolio and digital gold strategy
According to the company, the fresh funding will be deployed across two core strategic areas: expanding its mineral resource base and advancing its Digital Gold Initiative.
On the mining side, Blue Gold plans to pursue acquisitions of high-value assets in gold, uranium, and other critical minerals across key jurisdictions.
By growing its portfolio, the company aims to secure stable production pipelines and diversify its exposure within the broader resource economy.
Equally significant is the expansion of the firm’s blockchain-enabled stablecoin project, which will be backed by physical gold reserves.
The initiative seeks to create a digital token fully anchored in tangible assets, offering investors a secure bridge between traditional commodities and the fast-growing digital asset economy.
The company highlighted the enduring appeal of gold as a global financial anchor, particularly amid economic uncertainty.
At the same time, it noted a surge in demand for gold-backed digital products, a niche Blue Gold intends to dominate by merging mining output with tokenized platforms.
“Combining real mining assets with a tokenized gold platform, Blue Gold intends to deliver growth for shareholders while addressing the rising demand for secure, asset-backed digital currencies.”

The announcement comes at a time when gold prices remain elevated and interest in precious metal-backed digital instruments is accelerating. Yet the broader mining industry continues to grapple with volatility, fluctuating commodity prices, and rising capital costs.
Regulatory and shareholder alignment
Blue Gold noted that the equity line of credit is subject to SEC approval of a registration statement and other customary conditions.
In addition, the company will provide more details of the financing terms in its Form 6-K filed with the SEC.
The company emphasized that the funding strengthens its capacity to deliver on both near-term and long-term growth initiatives, while maintaining transparency and compliance with regulatory frameworks.
Founded with the mission of redefining gold ownership in the 21st century, Blue Gold Limited is focused on acquiring high-potential mining assets while integrating innovative financial technologies.
Listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker BGL, the company has positioned itself as both a resource developer and a digital innovator.
According to its corporate profile, Blue Gold prioritizes responsible mining practices, operational transparency, and sustainable growth, aiming to create long-term value for both investors and host communities.
With this latest financing, the company has set itself up to pursue an ambitious dual-track strategy: expanding its physical mining footprint while pioneering digital gold-backed products that could reshape how investors access and trade the world’s most enduring store of value.
