Offering

Berkeley, California, USA, January 12th, 2026, Chainwire

Helio Corporation (OTCID: HLEO) (“Helio” or the “Company”), a space-based renewable energy company, announced today that its Board of Directors has executed an agreement with a leading, highly experienced crypto marketing firm to support a planned $20 million Initial Coin Offering (ICO) for its proprietary utility token, Mission Helio. 

The Mission Helio utility token is designed solely for functional use within Helio’s ecosystem, including tiered participation, usage-based benefits, and support for infrastructure development and ecosystem expansion. The token does not represent equity, ownership, profit-sharing rights, or any claim on Helio’s assets or earnings. The offering represents a strategic, non-dilutive financing initiative designed to fund the development and deployment of Helio’s proprietary space-based solar power systems while protecting shareholder equity and enhancing long-term value. Helio’s ICO is structured as an alternative capital raising mechanism intended to support the Company’s core mission: delivering continuous, renewable baseload energy from space for terrestrial use. By utilizing a utility token framework rather than issuing additional equity or debt, Helio aims to avoid shareholder dilution and reduce reliance on financing structures that have historically impaired value creation in public and over-the-counter markets. 

“We are positioning Helio at the leading edge of innovation—not only in how energy is generated in space and transmitted to Earth, but in how critical infrastructure is financed,” said Ed Cabrera, Chief Executive Officer of Helio. “For too long, publicly traded OTC companies have depended on highly dilutive or toxic funding structures that erode shareholder value at precisely the moment capital is most needed. Our strategy reverses that dynamic by leveraging alternative capital markets to support regulated, asset-based operations.” 

Management views the utility token offering as a deliberate departure from traditional OTC financing mechanisms, which often involve variable-rate instruments and repeated equity issuance. By separating capital formation from equity issuance, Helio believes it can strengthen balance-sheet integrity while aligning capital deployment with long-term shareholder value creation. 

Proceeds from the token offering are expected to be used to advance Helio’s “Power Plants in Space” initiative, including the development of proprietary hardware, power transmission systems, and related intellectual property, as well as the expansion of infrastructure assets designed to support future revenue generation. 

Helio believes this approach represents a first-of-its-kind financing model among publicly traded OTC companies: utilizing participation in unregulated digital asset markets to fund regulated, tangible energy infrastructure. Unlike crypto treasury strategies used by publicly traded proxy companies that rely primarily on token price appreciation or market sentiment, Helio’s model is focused on converting token-based capital into real, revenue-generating assets supported by proprietary engineering and systems IP. 

Helio’s planned Initial Coin Offering reflects a fundamentally different approach to crypto-enabled financing—one intended to fund long-duration, revenue-producing renewable energy infrastructure while preserving shareholder equity and supporting sustainable long-term growth.
