# Mario Stifano Pushes for Changes at AIRWA INC. with 9.5% Stake

Mario Stifano disclosed a 9.5% stake in AIRWA INC.'s common stock. He filed a Schedule 13D on Aug. 07, 2026 after buying 100,000 shares in late July on the open market. Stifano says the investment could drive changes in strategy and governance at the company.

**Investor Intent**

Stifano plans to press AIRWA INC. on financing, dilution, and how it spends money, especially after the $30 million USDT payment for Hongkong Best Life Trade Co., Limited. He aims to engage directors, managers, and other holders to “review capital-raising practices, use of proceeds, corporate governance, and terms of related-party transactions.”

He also wants to explore a pivot that uses AIRWA INC. as a public platform for critical minerals deals, including a SPAC-like approach. Stifano may demand company records under Delaware law, saying he is “seeking to inspect the company’s books and records” to evaluate next steps.

Mario Stifano is a Canadian executive and investor based in Ontario with a background in the resources sector. He has led and financed mining and exploration companies, focusing on value creation through capital discipline and asset development.
