NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As part of its ongoing corporate transformation, Society Pass Incorporated (NASDAQ:SOPA) (the "Company"), Southeast Asia's (SEA) next generation e-commerce ecosystem, today announces the roll out of a comprehensive mergers and acquisition ("M&A") strategy to capture potential significant valuation arbitrage acquisition opportunities across privately-held companies located in SEA, Europe and North America. The Company will be partnered up with selected regional and global private equity firms to assist it with deal flow and execution to cement its market leadership in the AI data centre, travel, digital advertising, and telecommunications sectors.
Raynauld Liang, CEO of the Company, explains, "The Company's success in listing (NASDAQ:NUTR) into a stand-alone public company is testament of our ability to incubate fast-growing companies into market leaders in their respective fields. We acquired NUTR for an acquisition consideration of under US$5 million in August 2022 and listed it in August 2025 on Nasdaq at a market capitalization of over US$70 million. The stock is now valued at a market capitalization of over US$170 million. Given the potential valuation arbitrage opportunities in the AI data centre, travel, digital advertising, and telecommunications sectors for privately held companies, we believe that we are uniquely positioned to generate value from this strategy going forward for our shareholders."
