EntitiesAvalanche Treasury Co.
Avalanche Treasury Co. (Nasdaq: AVAT) is a publicly traded operating company built to accumulate AVAX and deploy capital across Avalanche network infrastructure, applications, staking and ecosystem investments rather than hold AVAX passively. It went public through a roughly 675M SPAC merger with Mountain Lake Acquisition Corp., seeded by a minimum 200M discounted token sale from the Avalanche Foundation that included 7,317,965.61 AVAX. Bart Smith, formerly head of Susquehanna crypto arm, is named as chief executive in the company own Nasdaq-listing release.
Avalanche Treasury Co. appears in no ecosystem directory we track. This record answers graph_intake/descout-Avalanche Treasury Co. (AVAT) — a suggestion raised by the ecosystem-pulse monitor and adjudicated in the 2026-09-04 graph_intake triage (tasks/graph-intake-triage-2026-09-04.md), which researches an accepted suggestion from first-party sources rather than accepting the mention. Surfaced by the ecosystem-pulse monitor and researched 2026-09-04. The relation to the Avalanche Foundation is FILING-GRADE: an SEC 8-K names the exact AVAX quantity the Foundation sold it. A distinct entity from the Foundation — never merge the two.
