Deal Follows Failed Acquisition 

The sale follows Perpetuals.com's proposed acquisition of ALT5 Sigma Canada, which it had announced several weeks ago. In July, the previous deal was ended without a specific reason being provided.

In May 2024, AI Financial, a payments company, acquired payment firm ALT5 Sigma, and subsequently in May 2025, it acquired payments firm Mswipe. In April 2026, the group restructured its name from ALT5 Sigma Corporation to AI Financial Corporation and its NYS stock symbol from ALTS to AIFC.

The Canadian entity is part of AI Financial's fintech business based on digital-asset payments and financial services.

Latest Results Show Heavy Loss 

For the 13 weeks ending March 28, 2026, AI Financial had revenue of US$4.71 million, which was a decrease of 16.8 percent from the corresponding period of the prior year when it had revenue of US$4.85 million.

The company reported a net loss of US$271.49 million for the quarter compared with a net loss of US$2.39 million for the same period a year ago. The most recent loss comprised a US$348.3 million unrealised loss on cryptocurrency assets.

As at March 28, AI Financial had current assets of US$32.2 million and current liabilities of US$39.1 million. It also funded its operating activities in the quarter by using about US$12.3 million in cash.

The numbers are from AI Financial's quarterly report to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. In the filing, the company reported a high degree of uncertainty about its ability to operate as a going concern within one year of the date of the filing.
