Sono Group and the privately held Sports One signed a non-binding letter of intent to create a listed permanent-capital company that would hold minority stakes in NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL franchises and operate an active sports-intelligence business. After closing, the company would be renamed Sports One and be led by Sports One’s management. At the same time, an investor group purchased 283,500 shares (19.9%) in a direct placement at market price with a 180-day lock-up; proceeds are intended for working capital and general corporate purposes. » More on de.investing.com

Sono Group sold Sono Motors GmbH on May 4 to management‑controlled buyers (Denis Azhar, Jan Schiermeister) and no longer holds any equity stake or operational obligations. The company retains an irrevocable, royalty‑free license to use the name "Sono" for listing and trading. Sono Group will now act as a treasury company focused on digital assets, acquire Bitcoin and generate yield through a covered‑call strategy under an institutional ISDA framework; funds from the March 2026 financing have already been used to buy Bitcoin. The share trades at $2.59 (a steep recent decline) and although the company has more liquid assets than debt, it is burning cash quickly, which is critical for the new business model. » More on de.investing.com
