Andrew Yang enjoys being a maverick. After a surprisingly strong showing in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, where he stood out for wearing a “MATH” lapel pin during debates, Yang redirected his energy into business. In 2025, he decided to take on phone giants Verizon and AT&T with a low-cost mobile phone network, Noble Mobile. That venture is now expanding as, on Tuesday, Noble Mobile announced it is acquiring another upstart called Helium Mobile, which has sought to build cryptocurrency into its business model.
The companies declined to disclose the financial terms of the deal, and Yang said Helium’s pricing and service would not change for the foreseeable future in an interview with Fortune.
