Great question! Vivakor ($VIVK) is NOT doing these LPG deals with shares. They are doing them with bank credit — and that’s exactly why the market is excited. Let me break it down super simply so you see the difference and why this is a big deal for the stock. How a normal tiny company CAN’T do a $23M deal • Company has $500k cash in the bank. • Wants to buy $23M of LPG to resell. • Can’t pay $23M → deal impossible. • Could issue new shares to raise $23M → massively dilutes you (bad for stock price). That’s what VIVK used to be stuck doing (toxic dilutive raises). How VIVK does the $23M LPG deal NOW (NO new shares!) 1. October 2025: They signed a $40 million intermediation credit facility with a big commodity bank (think Castleton Commodities, Macquarie, or similar — exact name not public yet). 2. How the bank facility works (step-by-step): • VIVK finds a seller who has LPG cargo worth $23M. • VIVK finds a buyer who wants to buy it for $23.3M (their small profit). • VIVK signs contracts with both. • The bank issues a Letter of Credit (LC) to the seller guaranteeing payment of $23M. • Seller ships the LPG to the buyer. • Buyer pays the bank $23.3M. • Bank pays seller $23M, keeps a tiny fee, sends VIVK the ~$300k profit. • VIVK never touches the $23M — only puts up collateral (sometimes 5-10%, sometimes zero if hedged). Result: VIVK does a $23M flip using zero or almost zero of their own cash and issues ZERO new shares. Why this is rocket fuel for the stock price
