Betolar is a pioneering materials technology company focusing on turning industrial side streams into value. Betolar offers continuous competitive edge to the construction industry and enable the transition towards a sustainable built environment - socially, environmentally and economically.

Hi, yesterday’s announcement does not mean Betolar’s delisting from First North, but rather bringing the share for trading also in the United States. Trading would henceforth take place concurrently on two markets: First North in euros and the OTCQX marketplace in dollars. This marketplace is specifically aimed at US investors for whom direct investment in Helsinki is difficult, so this does not require any action from Finnish investors. The listing itself also does not mean raising new capital, but the move raises the company’s profile in the United States. I expect Betolar to need additional equity financing, but I still consider it likely that any potential financing will ultimately be sought from the Nordics.

Considering that the company’s realized revenue is in the hundreds of thousands of euros, the company certainly has a very ambitious and international attitude towards things. The website is made to be top-notch, and now a parallel listing in the United States… Their actions are like those of an even larger listed company. Now, explosive growth is simply needed; the targets are really high, but the track record is still a bit lacking (in 2026, according to the original targets, the company should have a revenue of 200 million, and according to current targets, a billion by 2033). In my opinion, setting huge targets is a bit problematic from an investor’s perspective when the track record for achieving them is weak. It makes the company a bit like a lottery ticket type of investment; we’re talking about hundreds of millions and a billion, but currently, we are in the hundreds of thousands. Of course, the targets have now been updated, but still, a bit of realism is needed regarding what is actually possible and what is not. I’m not criticizing growth per se; it’s good that Finland has growth-oriented companies. But when listing on the stock exchange, the rhetoric and actions should be more realistic than what is discussed in the startup world.

From Betolar’s website: “The aim of the planned OTCQX listing is to improve the share’s valuation and liquidity and expand the ownership base by offering US investors an easy, dollar-denominated, and cost-effective way to invest in the company, which is listed on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland market.” Therefore, to my best knowledge, I believe that this listing concerns US investors and its position on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland remains unchanged. Please correct me if I am wrong about this. Betolar Applies for Its Shares to Be Admitted to Trading on the US OTCQX Market

@Tommi_Saarinen Could Tommi comment on this latest announcement from Betolar and that question from member @jopa?

Does this mean that Betolar will delist from the First North marketplace? Will Betolar’s shares have to be traded in dollars in the future?

Betolar shares may soon be traded in the United States Betolar announced it is seeking to list its shares on the U.S. OTC market.                   Tärkeimmät talousuutiset | Kauppalehti – 3 Dec 25              Betolarin osakkeilla voi pian käydä kauppaa Yhdysvalloissa    Betolar kertoo hakevansa osakkeidensa listaamista Yhdysvaltain OTC-markkinapaikalle.

Why is Betolar not involved in this? Apparently, the Finnish state is also supporting the project together with the EU. Another question is why Betolar was not part of those state visits? Inevitably, the thought came that a merger between Epse and Betolar would be more than a logical alliance, both would benefit. Epse technology processes wastewater and Betolar processes tailings and slag. This would be a perfect alliance. But to start with, could Betolar still get involved in that Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan project? Why not. Nothing else to do but contact, for example, Finnish state authorities.
