Liquid Mercury has announced that ACQUA1, LLC completed the initial closing of its MERC exchange offering on September 1, 2026.
ACQUA1 is a Liquid Mercury subsidiary that operates the company’s Lab Company program—licensing Liquid Mercury technology to companies primarily tokenizing real-world assets in exchange for fees plus a minority equity stake. Liquid Mercury serves as the majority holder and Manager.
“Over the past 18 months, dozens of companies have approached Liquid Mercury seeking to tokenize their assets,” said Tony Saliba, CEO and founder of Liquid Mercury. “Many assumed they would need to raise capital and build this infrastructure from scratch. Licensing Mercury RWA lets them launch on systems that were already live and proven, at a fraction of the time and cost. ACQUA1 token holders now own a slice of the business that earns equity, plus fees from the companies in the Lab Company program.”
Verified accredited investors subscribed by exchanging MERC for non-voting Class B units of ACQUA1 at an initial conversion rate of 10 MERC per unit. Under its operating agreement, ACQUA1 must burn 100% of the MERC it receives at each closing within five business days — and may not transfer, trade, lend, stake, pledge, or otherwise deploy it.
On September 2, all 563,230,000 MERC received at the initial closing were burned via transfer to the dead address, exactly as the offering documents require.
