Liminatus Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIMN) soared 26.58 per cent as investors rallied behind the biotech firm’s latest strategic financing move.
On Thursday, the preclinical stage cancer immunotherapy company announced an exclusive agreement with Digital Offering LLC, a broker dealer with digital asset expertise, to explore a potential capital raise. The news reignited interest in Liminatus’s blockchain integrated treasury strategy and added fresh momentum to its volatile but closely watched stock.
The rally stemmed primarily from the company’s announcement of an agreement with broker Digital Offering LLC.
This move signals Liminatus’s intent to raise strategic capital through convertible debentures, equity linked securities, or other compliant instruments under U.S. securities law.
The engagement builds upon Liminatus’s previously announced review of a blockchain integrated treasury strategy. This initiative aims to enhance capital efficiency and broaden the company’s investor base by attracting digital asset focused institutions.
CEO Chris Kim described the engagement as an opportunity to pursue innovative funding approaches with both discipline and foresight. Investors responded positively to the idea that Liminatus could diversify its capital reserves while maintaining a forward thinking approach to financial stewardship.
“At Liminatus, our core mission is advancing transformative immunotherapies for cancer,” said Chris Kim, CEO of Liminatus. “As we work toward that goal, we are also taking proactive steps to strengthen our capital strategy.
Further momentum came from earlier trading activity on July 23, when the stock gained 13.67 per cent in pre-market hours. That increase followed the company’s announcement of its strategic blockchain review.

Company’s pipeline continues to anchor long-term interest
In addition to these financial developments, recent operational milestones have reinforced investor confidence.
On July 3, Liminatus filed its 10-K with the SEC, which triggered a 14.49 per cent increase in pre market trading. That same day, the company launched a research consortium to advance cancer diagnostics, further demonstrating its scientific ambition.
Liminatus also regained Nasdaq listing compliance on June 4, following a resolution of its delayed quarterly filing. The stock then hit a record high of USD$21.50 on June 5.
The company’s pipeline continues to anchor long-term investor interest. Its leading candidate, IBA101, is a CD47 blockade antibody designed to minimize side effects such as anemia and thrombocytopenia. On June 24, Liminatus released encouraging research updates on IBA101. It is also promoting a GCC vaccine currently in Phase II trials for colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, and esophageal cancers.
Liminatus’s gains, however, come with clear risks.
The company has not finalized its strategic capital raise or digital asset integration. Its primary therapies remain in preclinical or early clinical stages, and success is not guaranteed.
Furthermore, Liminatus reportedly employed only three people. This fact raised concerns about its ability to execute complex financial and research initiatives. Consequently, while the market’s reaction reflects renewed optimism, investors should continue to exercise due diligence and account for the inherent volatility and early stage risks associated with this micro-cap biotech.
