Nuburu, Inc. (BURU) closed Monday with an 86.27% gain, ending the session at $0.4750. The rally extended after hours by another 30.53%, reaching $0.6200 on growing momentum. The sharp surge followed the company’s announcement of acquiring Italian defense software firm Orbit S.r.l.
The deal marks Nuburu’s entry into mission-critical software, broadening its defense and security portfolio. Through its subsidiary, Nuburu Defense LLC, the company will acquire 100% of Orbit in a structured two-phase deal. This move aligns with Nuburu’s expansion strategy beyond high-performance blue lasers into defense-grade software solutions.
The acquisition is designed to strengthen its Defense & Security Hub with integrated hardware and software capabilities. With immediate global distribution rights for Orbit’s platform, Nuburu aims to offer cohesive tools for resilience and crisis management. The agreement sets the foundation for new revenue streams and recurring income from SaaS technologies.
Orbit Deal Reinforces Defense and Security Position
Orbit specializes in software for business continuity, crisis response, and operational resilience across physical and digital infrastructures. The technology is increasingly relevant for NATO and defense agencies focused on digital transformation and mission assurance. Integrating Orbit’s platform allows Nuburu to combine real-time awareness, impact analysis, and automated readiness tools into a unified defense offering.
Orbit’s capabilities complement Nuburu’s existing defense hardware and Tekne’s electronic warfare systems. The companies will deliver end-to-end solutions for mission-critical defense environments. This integration aims to fulfill rising demand from allied forces modernizing their infrastructure for hybrid threat environments.
Orbit’s software executes a continuous operational cycle that includes planning, sensing, decision-making, action, and learning. Key features include OSINT-driven situational awareness, crisis alerting systems, and automated compliance reporting. These capabilities enhance mission readiness and align with defense-sector resilience requirements.
Transaction Structure and Financial Projections
The transaction begins with a capital increase, starting with a $1.5 million advance for a 10.7% stake in Orbit. Nuburu Defense will invest up to $5 million over 36 months, followed by full acquisition by the end of 2026. The final phase will value Orbit at $12.5 million pre-money, with payments made through a mix of cash and equity.
Orbit is projecting robust growth, with revenues estimated at $3.22 million in 2026 and rising to $19.29 million by 2028. The recurring revenue SaaS model supports scalable margins and positions Nuburu to tap into the $2.9–$3.6 billion defense resilience market. The external advisor reviewed the deal, and Nuburu’s independent directors approved the terms.
Although Orbit is owned by Nuburu’s Co-CEO Alessandro Zamboni, the company followed governance protocols. An external financial review determined a fair valuation and strategic fit for the acquisition. With this move, Nuburu gains software capabilities essential to its evolving defense-tech roadmap.
