[{"type":"text","content":"Dallas, TX, Dec. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vivakor, Inc. (Nasdaq: VIVK) (“Vivakor” or the “Company”), an integrated provider of energy transportation, storage, reuse, and remediation service, today announced that it has achieved approximately $65 million in total debt reduction year-to-date in 2025, significantly enhancing the Company’s balance sheet strength and financial flexibility. The year-to-date debt reduction was driven by the completion of Vivakor’s strategic July divestiture and subsequent balance sheet optimization initiatives. The divestiture of select non-core assets generated approximately $11 million in net consideration and eliminated roughly $59 million of debt, materially improving the Company’s credit profile and lowering future interest obligations. Following this transaction, Vivakor executed targeted restructuring and conversion to equity transactions designed to further enhance liquidity and derisk the capital structure, resulting in an additional $6 million of debt reduction and bringing the total to approximately $65 million for the year. Vivakor Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James Ballengee commented, “Reducing debt and strengthening our capital structure has been a central focus throughout 2025. Achieving approximately $65 million of debt reduction this year represents a critical milestone in positioning Vivakor for long-term operational and financial success. These actions significantly enhance liquidity, reduce our ongoing interest burden, and allow us to concentrate resources on executing our core midstream and trading growth initiatives. In addition, the recently completed $11.2 million registered direct offering with D. Boral Capital LLC further supports our financial strategy by bolstering working capital and reinforcing the momentum we are building across the organization.” About Vivakor, Inc.
