Blaize Holdings, Inc. (BZAI) presents a deeply negative liquidation posture as of March 31, 2026. The MFFAIS-computed operating liquidation value of approximately $10.3 million and cash/liquid liquidation values of $140K reflect the asymmetry between haircut assets and face-value liabilities characteristic of a pre-revenue-scale semiconductor company with going-concern qualification. The company self-discloses substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the filing date (May 14, 2026). Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2026 were $33.2 million per MD&A narrative (balance sheet tag not separately emitted in the TAG_CONTEXT XBRL set, though the value is disclosed in narrative). Subsequent to period end, the company raised approximately $32.8 million net in an underwritten equity offering at $1.85 per share (18.9 million shares), which materially improves near-term liquidity but does not alter the structural recovery deficit. Asset side recovery is dominated by: (1) cash at $33.2M (100% recovery) — the single largest asset; (2) inventory net of $9.0M (60% haircut yields ~$5.4M); (3) prepaid and other current assets of $6.4M (near-zero recovery as insurance prepaids, software licenses, and prepaid compensation have no liquidation value). Intangible assets and capitalized R&D (the company's core value proposition — proprietary AI edge computing IP) carry zero recovery under the liquidation lens. Liability stack at face value includes: accrued liabilities of $7.3M; a $1.5M unsecured related-party working capital loan with repayment demanded; $2.9M advances from related party with repayment demanded; $0.2M accounts payable to related party; and derivative liabilities (Other Earnout Shares + Polar warrants) totaling $16.7M on a Level 3 fair value basis, which would extinguish at face value on wind-up. The shareholder note receivable of $8.6M (deducted from APIC, not recognized as an asset on the balance sheet) is not recoverable in liquidation as it is recorded as an equity contra item. Operating cash burn of approximately $12.6M per quarter against post-period cash of roughly $66M (pre-offering $33.2M plus $32.8M proceeds) provides an estimated six-to-eight quarter runway at current burn, absent revenue growth. Revenue concentration risk is extreme: 94.9% of Q1 2026 revenue ($2.6M of $2.7M total) came from a single related-party customer (BST/Burkhan affiliate) under a referral agreement with a contractual ceiling of $56.5M but no minimum purchase commitment. The filing does not separately tag cash and cash equivalents, total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders' equity in the TAG_CONTEXT XBRL emission — all balance sheet recovery figures referenced above are drawn from narrative disclosure in MD&A and footnotes. This absence of balance sheet XBRL tagging is itself notable for a public filer.
