Hotel101 Global Holdings Corp. said its board has approved eeplans to pursue a capital raise of up to USD300 million through the issuance of perpetual convertible preferred shares, as the company gears up for the next phase of its global expansion.
The proposed offering, subject to market conditions and regulatory approvals, may be conducted in one or more tranches in 2026.
Hotel101 Global said the preferred shares could be sold through private placements to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the U.S. Securities Act and/or through registered offerings, depending on market conditions.
The company cautioned that the transaction is not assured and remains subject to the engagement of underwriters or placement agents, execution of definitive agreements, and completion of required regulatory filings and approvals.
If completed, proceeds are expected to support Hotel101 Global’s asset-light, prop-tech-driven business model, which relies on joint ventures and licensing arrangements rather than direct ownership of hotel assets.
Management said the funding would be used primarily to accelerate the rollout of Hotel101 projects worldwide, strengthening its technology-enabled hospitality platform.
For 2026, the company is targeting commitments for a substantial portfolio of hotel rooms across multiple countries, largely through partnerships with established local developers. This strategy is designed to enable faster, more scalable growth while leveraging on-the-ground market expertise.
The planned fundraising aligns with Hotel101 Global’s long-term ambition to eventually operate one million rooms across 100 countries, using its standardized “HappyRoom” concept and condotel structure to deliver consistent and affordable hospitality globally.
Hotel101 Global has authorized management to engage financial and legal advisers to support the preparation and execution of the proposed transaction.
Listed on Nasdaq under the ticker HBNB, Hotel101 Global had a market capitalization of approximately USD2.34 billion as of January 16, 2026. The company expects to begin accepting guests at Hotel101-Madrid, its first international property, by March 2026, marking a key milestone in its global rollout.
