Key value driver

National bank charter (final OCC approval Feb 2026) is a real moat; deposits $0→$4.6B by end-July; $100M+ ARR; $4.35B→$8B pre in months; Luckey/Lonsdale, Valor, a16z, Lux, 8VC, Haun, SV Angel

Primary risk

~2.1x deposits / ~95x ARR — priced as tech, not as a bank; credit exposure to pre-revenue nuclear and crypto borrowers; concentrated depositor base is exactly what killed SVB; SPV fees/carry undisclosed
