Agility Robotics Heads to Wall Street in a $2.5B Bet on Staffing Warehouses with Humanoids
The deal is expected to provide more than $620 million in gross proceeds to fund customer orders and scale production of Digit v5, Agility said.
- On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, Agility Robotics announced a definitive merger agreement with Churchill Capital Corp XI, valuing the humanoid robotics startup at approximately $2.5 billion.
- The Salem, Oregon-based company plans to scale production of its next-generation Digit v5 humanoid using merger capital. Agility Robotics CEO Peggy Johnson stated the company aims to address a market opportunity estimated at approximately $1 trillion.
- Supported by strategic investors including Foxconn and Amazon, Agility has already secured more than $300 million in multi-year orders. The deal provides more than $620 million in gross proceeds, including $420 million from Churchill's trust account.
- Positioning itself as the first pure-play humanoid robotics company on the market, Agility faces competition from rivals like Tesla, whose CEO Elon Musk is developing the Optimus humanoid, and Massachusetts-based Boston Dynamics.
- Agility co-founder and Chief Robot Officer Jonathan Hurst emphasized the company's focus on "cooperatively safe" robotics designed to work alongside humans. The merger is expected to close by the end of 2026, listing under ticker AGLT.
