Ionic Digital Nasdaq listing

Entities: Andy Stewart · Nasdaq · Opzelura · Incyte Corp · Celsius Network

Overview

In late June 2026, Ionic Digital announced plans to pursue a Nasdaq direct listing, positioning the move as a way to provide market access for creditors of the bankrupt Celsius Network from which it emerged.

A month later, on July 28, the company executed the direct listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker IOND. The debut did not involve a capital raise; existing shareholders sold shares directly, resulting in an initial market valuation of about $2.8 billion. Shares opened around $53 and closed near $62‑63, climbing roughly 25‑26% on the first day. Ionic Digital, which inherited Celsius’s mining equipment, cash, and Bitcoin holdings, highlighted its shift toward Bitcoin mining, AI, and high‑performance computing, targeting $195 million in revenue for 2026 and securing contracts worth up to $2.6 billion.
