SMX is Fully Financed Through Q1 2027 as Sustainability Moves from Promise to Proof
Fully financed through Q1 2027, SMX scales its molecular tracking and Plastic Cycle Token platform to bring accountability, transparency, and real-world impact to global supply chains.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 17, 2026 / SMX (NASDAQ:SMX)(NASDAQ:SMXWW) began 2026 with a strengthened balance sheet, fully funded through the first quarter of 2027, allowing the Company to focus on platform expansion, execution, and advancing its Plastic Cycle Token as a verifiable foundation for the circular economy. Investments are underway to scale molecular marking and material verification technologies, reinforce the digital platform, and drive adoption across industries where transparency, traceability, and regulatory compliance are no longer optional.
Earlier this month, SMX completed the full conversion of its convertible notes, reducing long-term liabilities, eliminating potential equity overhang, and reinforcing its financial position to accelerate development across its multi-material verification platform.
At the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, sustainability and verified impact were center stage. Leaders from business, government, and NGOs stressed that private capital must be directed toward projects that deliver measurable environmental, social, and economic outcomes. SMX addresses these demands by embedding invisible molecular identifiers into materials, creating a physical-to-digital record that travels with products throughout manufacturing, use, recycling, and end-of-life.
This innovation underpins SMX's Plastic Cycle Token strategy, which captures verified material lifecycle events and transforms them into auditable, reliable data. By turning material traceability into evidence-based outcomes, stakeholders-from regulators to enterprises-can demonstrate compliance, quantify risk, and generate value from circular activities.
Throughout 2025, SMX expanded internationally, validating its technology across multiple industries, regions, and materials. Pilot programs confirmed that molecular-level identity remains accurate even after industrial processing, allowing companies to track materials without disrupting operations.
The Company has also extended its platform beyond plastics, positioning SMX as a multi-material verification leader capable of supporting manufacturing, recycling, and regulated supply chains. This broader scope aligns with its long-term goal of a unified verification layer for regulators, enterprises, and sustainability-driven markets.
With funding secured and strategic partnerships in place, SMX enters 2026 focused on disciplined growth, platform refinement, and scaling verification and tokenization. As sustainability shifts from ambition to accountability, demand for trusted, verifiable material data is set to accelerate-placing SMX at the forefront of the transition.
