Stardust Intelligence raises RMB 1B at RMB 15B valuation, old shares discounted

On November 12, 2026, a TMTPost report covered the latest funding developments at Astribot. According to the report, financing activity in the embodied AI sector is still carrying on, and Astribot is in the process of raising a new round of funding worth 1 billion yuan, at a valuation of 15 billion yuan. Running alongside this new round, some existing shareholders are offering to sell their older shares at discounts ranging from 65 to 80 percent of the previous round's valuation, and prospective buyers are approaching these transactions with caution.

The report adds that attention has split along two lines. Money coming in through the new round is focused on whether Astribot can reach mass production and whether its order pipeline can be sustained. Old-share transactions, by contrast, are being driven by how long each side is willing to wait, and expectations around exit opportunities have already begun to soften first. As of now, the public reporting only covers the situation described above, and no publicly available information has yet confirmed that Astribot's new funding round has been completed.
