American Battery Technology Company announced that the U.S. Department of Energy has rescinded a prior termination and reinstated its competitive grant supporting a $115,489,662 project to build a commercial-scale lithium hydroxide refinery at the Tonopah Flats Lithium Project.
Under the award, the DOE will fund $57,744,831 and the company will provide a matching $57,744,831 cost share. The modification realigns the overall project period to run from September 1, 2023 through December 31, 2029 with updated budget periods. The company states the grant was reinstated in full, with no change to funds, technical milestones, or commercial milestones, and an updated schedule reflecting the appeal review timeline.

The units are tied to five milestones, each worth 440,000 units: an average stock price of at least $10 over 60 trading days, at least $100 million in revenue and government contract reimbursements over four consecutive quarters, a positive NEPA Record of Decision for the Tonopah Flats Lithium Project, a positive internal financial investment decision or notice to proceed for that project, and a long-term offtake agreement of at least $50 million.
If all five milestones are achieved before the third anniversary of the grant date, Melsert can earn an additional 1,100,000 bonus units. Earned units vest pro rata over the four-year period, with accelerated vesting on certain terminations and upon qualifying change-in-control events, while unearned units are forfeited at the end of the performance period or on non-qualifying termination.

Despite this operational milestone, ABTC posted a net loss of $33.8M for the quarter and $53.4M for the nine months ended March 31, 2026. Cash increased to $37.7M and total stockholders’ equity to $112.8M, with notes payable reduced to zero.

American Battery Technology Company reported strong revenue growth but continued heavy losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Quarterly revenue rose to $7.8 million from $1.0 million a year earlier, driven by ramp-up of its lithium-ion battery recycling operations. However, a spike in operating expenses, including $27.6 million of stock-based compensation in the quarter, led to a net loss of $33.8 million and a nine-month loss of $53.4 million.
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $37.7 million from $7.5 million as of June 30, 2025, mainly from equity financings, including $45.5 million raised through an At-The-Market offering and $10.0 million from warrant exercises. Notes payable were fully eliminated by March 31, 2026, while stockholders’ equity rose to $112.8 million as shares outstanding expanded to 132.3 million.
The company continues to rely on U.S. government support and tax incentives. It has active DOE grants for battery recycling, a terminated but appealed DOE grant for a lithium hydroxide refinery, and up to $60.0 million of potential federal tax credits under the 48C program. Management believes current cash and expected product revenue are sufficient to fund operations for at least 12 months from issuance of these statements.
