Assessment

William Kowalski stated in a projection aired on March 3, 2025, that Atomos Space would exit at approximately $1.3 billion in 2025. The stated horizon of year-end 2025 has passed. Instead of a billion-dollar exit, Atomos Space was acquired on April 24, 2025, by Katalyst Space Technologies, an early-stage space servicing startup, after Voyager Technologies fully wrote down its equity investment in Atomos as of December 31, 2024. No regulatory filing, database record, or public disclosure indicates an exit valuation anywhere near $1.3 billion.

Voyager Technologies Form S-1 filed with the SEC on May 16, 2025, confirmed a full write-down/impairment loss of its $3.594 million equity investment in Atomos Nuclear and Space Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Katalyst Space Technologies acquired Atomos Space on April 24, 2025, acquiring its IP, facilities, and personnel.
Financial databases (PitchBook, Tracxn, Crunchbase) and SEC filings show no IPO, direct listing, or M&A transaction valuing Atomos at or near $1.3 billion in 2025.
