Archer raises $850 million in new capital, following Executive Order signed by President Trump to fast-track AAM rollout

Archer has raised $850 mil­lion in new cap­i­tal, rein­forc­ing its finan­cial posi­tion fol­low­ing a sig­nif­i­cant pol­i­cy move by the White House to eVTOL air­craft deploy­ment across the Unit­ed States.

The fund­ing comes on the heels of an Exec­u­tive Order signed by Pres­i­dent Trump estab­lish­ing an eVTOL Inte­gra­tion Pilot Pro­gram aimed at fast-track­ing the sector’s roll­out.

The pro­gram calls for coor­di­na­tion between the White House, Depart­ment of Trans­porta­tion, and Fed­er­al Avi­a­tion Admin­is­tra­tion to inte­grate eVTOL air­craft into US air­space and infra­struc­ture.

Archer, which is already work­ing toward launch­ing oper­a­tions in time for the 2028 Los Ange­les Olympic Games, where it will serve as the Offi­cial Air Taxi Provider, intends to work close­ly with all rel­e­vant gov­ern­ment agen­cies to align its plans with the pro­gram.

“This Exec­u­tive Order is a sem­i­nal moment for Archer and the eVTOL indus­try,” said Archer founder and CEO Adam Gold­stein. “We now have the strongest bal­ance sheet in the sec­tor and the resources we need to exe­cute both here in the U.S. and abroad. Archer’s future couldn’t be any brighter.”

The com­pa­ny now claims a pro for­ma liq­uid­i­ty posi­tion of approx­i­mate­ly $2 bil­lion, strength­en­ing its abil­i­ty to exe­cute across engi­neer­ing, cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, and com­mer­cial­iza­tion efforts.

The new cap­i­tal, raised through a reg­is­tered direct offer­ing, involved the pur­chase and sale of 85 mil­lion shares of Class A com­mon stock at $10 per share.

Net pro­ceeds will be direct­ed toward gen­er­al cor­po­rate pur­pos­es, includ­ing infra­struc­ture devel­op­ment and advance­ment of Archer’s com­mer­cial strat­e­gy in both US and inter­na­tion­al “Launch Edi­tion” mar­kets.

Funds will also sup­port the devel­op­ment of an AI-based avi­a­tion soft­ware plat­form. Moelis & Com­pa­ny LLC served as the exclu­sive place­ment agent for the offer­ing.

Archer plans to show­case its Mid­night air­craft next week at the Paris Air Show and will host del­e­ga­tions from more than 20 coun­tries. These include key rep­re­sen­ta­tives from part­ner orga­ni­za­tions in the UAE, the company’s first tar­get­ed launch mar­ket out­side the US.

Gold­stein is expect­ed to meet with US Sec­re­tary of Trans­porta­tion Sean P. Duffy and act­ing FAA Admin­is­tra­tor Chris Roche­leau dur­ing the show.

Archer con­tin­ues to empha­size the impor­tance of cross-indus­try and cross-gov­ern­ment col­lab­o­ra­tion in estab­lish­ing US lead­er­ship in the emerg­ing eVTOL sec­tor, which the com­pa­ny believes is crit­i­cal to the suc­cess of the White House’s new inte­gra­tion ini­tia­tive.

US-based elec­tric ver­ti­cal take-off and land­ing (eVTOL) air­craft man­u­fac­tur­er, Archer Avi­a­tion (Archer), has raised $850 mil­lion in new cap­i­tal.
