Avalanche Treasury Co. has commenced trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker AVAT, marking a significant milestone for the Avalanche $AVAX ecosystem. The company describes itself as an operating company and digital asset treasury that allocates capital across the Avalanche economy.
Trading in AVAT Class A common stock began on June 11, 2026, following shareholder approval at an extraordinary general meeting on June 4, 2026.The Nasdaq debut follows a business combination with Mountain Lake Acquisition Corp. (MLAC) valued at more than $675 million. The company is backed by a high-profile roster of investors including Dragonfly, Galaxy Digital, VanEck, Pantera Capital, Kraken, and CoinFund.
AVAT was created to accelerate the adoption and growth of Avalanche and open an opportunity for investors to participate in the fundamental infrastructure shift toward blockchain.The company launches with about $460 million in treasury assets and offers investors a discounted entry point of 0.77 times net asset value, roughly a 23% markdown compared with direct token purchases or ETF alternatives. The company targets over $1 billion in $AVAX acquisitions.
The transaction gives institutional investors a new pathway to gain $AVAX exposure through a public vehicle.AVAT's launch strategy includes discounted token purchases and priority rights on Avalanche Foundation sales to US treasury companies.
The company says it will put capital to work across Avalanche's infrastructure and applications rather than simply stockpiling $AVAX on its balance sheet.Launched in 2020 and purpose-built for enterprise, the Avalanche blockchain combines speed, compliance capabilities, and interoperability, qualities that have attracted growing institutional interest as appetite for blockchain infrastructure in public markets continues to rise.
