Axiom Space Raises $350M (Equity + Debt) — QIA, 1789 Capital, 4iG Lead
79 FOMOAxiom Space announced $350M in mixed equity and debt financing on February 12, 2026, co-led by Type One Ventures and Qatar Investment Authority (QIA). Participants include 1789 Capital (associated with Donald Trump Jr.), Hungarian telecom 4iG (which separately committed $100M after flying a Hungarian astronaut on Ax-4), LuminArx Capital Management, and founder Kam Ghaffarian. JP Morgan served as sole placement agent. Funds go toward Axiom Station Module 1 (Payload Power Thermal Module, launching 2028 to ISS) and Module 2 (habitation module), plus the AxEMU spacesuit NASA contract (delivery targeted 2027 for Artemis III). CEO Jonathan Cirtain (assumed October 2025) confirmed both programs are on schedule. Company's last round was August 2023 ($350M, co-led by Aljazira Capital).
Why it matters
The 1789 Capital participation is a deliberate political signal — aligning the commercial station program with the Trump administration's priorities ahead of NASA's CLD Phase 2 solicitation. 4iG's $100M is the more strategically interesting bet: it shows non-US sovereign capital treating Axiom as the global access point to the ISS succession. If AxEMU ships on time for Artemis III, Axiom becomes permanently embedded in NASA's human spaceflight supply chain regardless of who wins CLD.
