We’re excited to colead Dyna’s Series A with a $68M investment Dyna is one of the ONLY companies that have performant physical intelligence models that are ready to be deployed in the real world Physical AGI is coming! Make sure to follow @Lindon_Gao @JasonMa2020 @YorkYang5050
Excited to announce that we have raised $120M in our Series A to advance the frontier of general-purpose high-performance robots. 🤖 The new funding will accelerate progress towards our mission of bringing foundation-model powered robots to everyone, everywhere. Read more 👇

From informed sources: The initial closing of the funding round, totaling $400M, was completed last month. A second close for an additional $100M is in the works. This will bring the post-money valuation of Apptronik to about $5.5 billion.
Apptronik is in advanced talks to secure a new funding round of at least $400 million, led by existing investor B Capital, potentially reaching a $5 billion pre-money valuation. This follows a previous Series A round in February 2025 where the Austin-based humanoid robotics

It is an imperative for America to start “overproducing” robots ASAP We are quickly reaching the point where the AI is good enough at which point the demand for robots near instantly jumps from tens of thousands to hundreds of millions But scaling robot production isn’t as
@ruima Well said. The most likely scenario is that China will end up over producing humanoid hardware since it’ll take longer for AI to arrive to make them productive. People dump on US humanoid manufacturers as being way behind China, but in fact there’s no point ramping up a

Tesla is already starting construction of a plant that will produce 10 million humanoids a year

Some people are skeptical about US Humanoid valuations Unitree will likely trade at $20-50B valuation after they IPO next year Unitree has sold around 10k humanoids. This is less than 0.01% of projected annual humanoid sales Potential of this industry is underappreciated
Assume 1 robot = $50k 100,000 robots = $5B revenue 1M robots = $50B 10M robots = $500B 100M robots = $5T 1B robots = $50T 20b robots = $1 Quadrillion Humanoid robots will be the biggest product market in the history of ever by magnitudes The future largest companies will be

Generalized Autonomy is the end game for robotics but before we get there we will have a phase of remote immigration
Emerging trend in robotics right now is deploying robots teleoperated by cheap remote foreign labor So even with ICE mass deportations and a border wall, foreigners are going to be working more jobs than ever in America All subsidized by venture capital

CZ has only ever disclosed owning BTC and BNB so this seems pretty significant
Full disclosure. I just bought some Aster today, using my own money, on @Binance. I am not a trader. I buy and hold.

Join our host, @fundstrat, live on @fs_insight as Tom Lee discusses the convergence of AI and crypto with @ethermage, and why the next era of the agentic economy will unfold on the blockchain, specifically within the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). RSVP below.

$VIRTUAL is one of the few crypto projects that is doing legitimate things in the robotics sector They are coinvested with us on Robotics deals, building a large open source robot training data collection system and developing a commerce protocol for an autonomous machine
VIRTUAL chart is very reminiscent of SOL early days around $1 - $2. Think people are vastly underestimating the size of the agentic economy and don't realize how absurdly high this chart can go when crypto market conditions improve.

When this starts happening at large scale it will have interesting effects globally. Cost of foreign labor will be even cheaper when they are remote vs physically imported Should result in deflation in US (especially given VC subsidization), potential economic tailwinds for
