Allbirds pivots to AI, rebrands as NewBird AI, sparking rally in shares

Allbirds announced a pivot from footwear to artificial intelligence, rebranding as NewBird AI and pursuing GPU-based AI compute infrastructure; the plan has sent its stock higher (intraday around 582%) while the company secures $50 million in funding and moves toward a sale to American Exchange Company, exiting its public-benefit status to become a conventional corporation and aiming to offer GPU-as-a-Service and AI-native cloud solutions—though the long-term viability of the strategy remains uncertain and the rally could be meme-driven.

Allbirds pivots to AI compute with NewBird AI, fueling a huge stock rally

Allbirds says it is exiting footwear to become an AI compute company via a new entity named NewBird AI, after selling its IP/assets to American Exchange Group for $39 million two weeks earlier. NewBird AI plans to raise up to $50 million to acquire high-performance, low-latency AI hardware under long‑term leases, with a funding close expected in Q2 2026. American Exchange Group will continue to sell products under the Allbirds brand. Investors cheered the news, sending Allbirds’ shares up more than 300% in early trading and valuing the company around $20 million.
