Pursuant to Rule
424(b)(5)
(to
Prospectus dated May 26, 2026)
We
have previously entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement
SM
, as
amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of May 11, 2026 (the “Sales Agreement”),
with Jefferies LLC (the “Sales Agent”), relating to the shares of our common
stock offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. In
accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, under this prospectus
supplement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate
offering price of up to $1,000,000,000 from time to time through the Sales Agent
(the “Offering”).
Our
common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the
symbol “DXYZ.” On May 2
1
,
2026, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE was $61.66
per share. As of March 31, 2026, our net asset value per share was $24.56. Since
the listing of our shares on the NYSE, which occurred on March 26, 2024, to the
present, there has been significant volatility in the trading price of our
shares of common stock. During such period, we did not experience any material
changes in our financial condition or results of operations that would explain
such price volatility. Investors that purchase shares of our common stock in
this offering may lose a significant portion of their investments if the price
of our common stock subsequently declines.
Sales
of the shares of our common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus may be made by any method permitted by law deemed to
be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Sales Agent is not required
to sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares of common stock, but will
act as our sales agent and use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with
its normal trading and sales practices on terms mutually agreed between the
Sales Agent and us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any
escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
The
Sales Agent will be entitled to compensation at a commission rate of up to 3.0%
of the gross sales price per share of common stock sold through it as sales
agent pursuant to the Sales Agreement. In connection with the sale of shares of
common stock on our behalf, the Sales Agent will be deemed to be an
“underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation
paid to the Sales Agent will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to
the Sales Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”).
Shares
of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount to their net
asset value. If our shares trade at a discount to our net asset value, it will
likely increase the risk of loss for purchasers in this offering.
We
have elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31,
2023.
Investing
in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making a decision to
invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider the sections entitled
“Risk Factors” beginning on page S-
3
of this prospectus supplement and on page 2
4
of the accompanying
prospectus.
Neither
the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has
approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus
supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful and complete. Any
representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
You
should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein
and therein. We have not authorized anyone to give you any information other
than in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any free
writing prospectus, or any information that we have incorporated by reference
herein or therein and we take no responsibility for any other information that
others may give you. We are not making an offer to sell these securities in any
jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that
the information appearing in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus is accurate only as of the date on their respective front covers. Our
business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may have
changed since that date. We will update these documents to reflect material
changes only as required by law. This prospectus supplement supersedes the
accompanying prospectus to the extent it contains information different from or
additional to the information in that prospectus.
This
document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which
describes the terms of the Offering and also adds to and updates information
contained in the accompanying prospectus. The second part is the accompanying
prospectus, which gives more general information and disclosure. To the extent
the information contained in this prospectus supplement differs from the
information contained in the accompanying prospectus, the information in this
prospectus supplement shall control. This prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus, together with any documents incorporated by reference
herein and therein, include all material information relating to the Offering.
Please carefully read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus, together with any documents incorporated by reference herein and
therein and any exhibits.
This
prospectus supplement includes summaries of certain provisions contained in some
of the documents described in this prospectus supplement, but reference is made
to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are
qualified in their entirety by the actual documents. Copies of some of the
documents referred to herein have been filed, will be filed, or will be
incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which
this prospectus supplement is a part, and you may obtain copies of those
documents as described in the section titled “
Available Information
” in
the accompanying prospectus.
This
summary highlights some of the information in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein and
therein. It is not complete and may not contain all of the information that you
may want to consider before investing in the common stock offered hereby. You
should read this entire document and the other information incorporated by
reference herein before investing in our common stock. References in this
prospectus supplement to the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or other
similar terms refer to Destiny Tech100 Inc., a Maryland corporation, unless the
context otherwise requires.
We
are a Maryland corporation that is registered as a closed-end management
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
“1940 Act”). We intend to invest in and gain exposure to what we believe to be
100 of the top venture-backed private technology companies. Our
investment objective is to maximize our portfolio’s total return, principally by
seeking capital gains on our equity and equity-related
investments. Under normal market conditions, we will invest at
least 80% of our total assets in equity and equity-linked securities either
directly or through special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”) of companies principally
engaged in the technology sector. Equity-linked securities mean any debt or
equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for equity
securities of the issuer, or that provide us with economic exposure to the
equity securities of such issuer. A significant portion of our investments may
be held through SPVs which are private investment vehicles formed to invest in a
particular portfolio company. Individual SPVs that we invest in may have
different terms and structures, which may present unique risks and result in
different fee levels. SPVs that we invest in are generally exempt from
registration pursuant to Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act. We
will invest principally in the equity and equity-linked securities of what we
believe to be rapidly growing venture-capital-backed emerging companies, located
primarily in the United States. We may also invest on an opportunistic basis in
select U.S. publicly traded equity securities or certain non-U.S. companies that
otherwise meet our investment criteria. There is no assurance that we will
achieve our investment objective.
DX
Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the Company’s investment adviser pursuant
to an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The
Adviser is controlled by our President and Chief Executive Officer, Sohail
Prasad, through an irrevocable trust. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement,
we pay the Adviser a Management Fee, payable quarterly, in an amount equal to
2.50% of our average gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed
calendar quarters.
As
of March 31, 2026, our net asset value per share was $24.56. As of March 31,
2026, our investment portfolio consists of approximately $742.5 million (at fair
value) in 36 different portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2026, approximately
68.6% of our investments are in private issuers engaged in the technology
industry. Approximately 65.5% of our portfolio is comprised of common or
preferred equity, approximately 1.7% is comprised of convertible notes,
approximately 0.5 % is comprised of forward contracts that involve the future
delivery of shares of a portfolio company upon such securities becoming freely
transferable or upon the removal of restrictions on transfer, approximately 1.0%
is comprised of profit participation units, and 31.4% is comprised of short-term
investments in money market funds. Of the 65.5% of our portfolio that is
comprised of common or preferred equity, approximately 82.1% was acquired
through an SPV managed by an unaffiliated third party. Approximately 40.4% of
our investment portfolio was acquired through secondary purchases and
approximately 28.2% of our investment portfolio was acquired through direct
purchases. In some cases, forward contacts included in our portfolio relate to
the shares purchased directly from stockholders, including current or former
employees, of privately-held companies that meet our investment criteria. We are
a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a RIC under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year
ended December 31, 2023. We believe that we have qualified as a RIC and that our
method of operations will enable us to continue to qualify as a RIC. However, no
assurances can be given that our beliefs or expectations will be fulfilled,
since qualification as a RIC depends on us continuing to comply with numerous
regulatory requirements described under “
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax
Considerations”
in the accompanying prospectus.
We
were formed on November 8, 2020, as a Maryland corporation and commenced
operations on January 25, 2021.
Our
principal executive offices are located at 1401 Lavaca Street, #144, Austin, TX
78701. Our telephone number is (415) 639-9966. Our website is
https://destiny.xyz/tech100. The information contained on or that can be
accessed through our website does not constitute part of this prospectus
supplement or accompanying prospectus.

increases
in market interest rates, which may lead investors to demand a higher
distribution yield for our common stock (if we have begun to make
distributions to our stockholders) and which could cause the cost of our
interest expenses on our debt, to the extent we have any borrowings
outstanding, to increase; |
|
|
|
failure
to maintain our qualification as a RIC; |
|
|
|
price
and volume fluctuations in the stock market generally;
and |
|
|
|
general
market and economic conditions, including the state of the credit and
capital markets. |
Market
factors unrelated to our performance could also negatively impact the market
price of our common stock. One of the factors that investors may consider in
deciding whether to buy or sell our common stock is our distribution rate as a
percentage of our stock price relative to market interest rates. If market
interest rates increase, prospective investors may demand a higher distribution
rate or seek alternative investments paying higher dividends or interest. As a
result, interest rate fluctuations and conditions in capital markets can affect
the market value of our common stock.
We
may allocate the net proceeds from this offering in ways that you and other
stockholders may not approve.
Our
management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds
from the shares of common stock we sell in this offering, including for any of
the purposes described in the section of this prospectus supplement titled “Use
of Proceeds.” Because of the number and variability of factors that will
determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may
vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our management might not
apply our net proceeds in ways that ultimately increase the value of your
investment, and the failure by our management to apply these funds effectively
could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from
this offering in short- and intermediate-term, interest-bearing obligations,
investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed
obligations of the U.S. government. These investments may not yield a favorable
return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from
this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve
expected results, which could cause our stock price to
decline.
REGARDING
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Some
of the statements in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus,
if any constitute forward-looking statements, which relate to future events or
our future performance or financial condition. These forward-looking statements
are based on our current intent, belief, expectations and views of future
events. You can identify these forward-looking statements often, but not always,
by words or phrases such as “can,” “could,” “continuing,” “may,” “will,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “ongoing,” “plan,”
“predict,” “potential,” “project,” “should,” “seeks,” “believe,” “likely to” and
similar words, phrases or expressions.
These
statements are only predictions and involve estimates, known and unknown risks,
assumptions, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual
results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Our actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking
statements as a result of the factors discussed in our most recent registration
statement on Form N-2 filed with the SEC, as such risk factors may be amended,
supplemented or superseded from time to time by our subsequent filings with the
SEC, including in any prospectus supplement and free writing prospectus. We have
based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and
projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect
our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial
needs. While we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such
statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements
should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry
into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information.
Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties,
some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. These forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
|
|
|
our
future operating results, including our ability to achieve
objectives; |
|
|
|
our
business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio
companies; |
|
|
|
the
impact of investments that we expect to
make; |
|
|
|
our
contractual arrangements and relationships with third
parties; |
|
|
|
the
dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on
the industries in which we invest; |
|
|
|
market
conditions and our ability to access alternative debt markets and
additional debt and equity capital; |
|
|
|
the
ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their
objectives; |
|
|
|
the
valuation of our portfolio companies, particularly those having no liquid
trading market; |
|
|
|
our
expected financings and investments; |
|
|
|
the
adequacy of our cash resources and working capital;
and |
|
|
|
the
timing of cash flows, if any, from our
investments. |
These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks,
uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and
difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including
without limitation:
|
|
|
a
contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity
markets could impair our investment
activities; |
|
|
|
interest
rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly if we
elect to use leverage as part of our investment
strategy; |
|
|
|
currency
fluctuations could adversely affect the results of our investments in
foreign companies, particularly to the extent that we receive payments
denominated in foreign currency rather than U.S.
dollars; |
|
|
|
the
impact of information technology system failures, data security breaches,
data privacy compliance, network disruptions and cybersecurity attacks;
and |
|
|
|
the
risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in “Risk Factors” and
elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus and in
our filings with the SEC. |
You
should read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus,
including the documents incorporated by reference herein, completely and with
the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different
from and worse than what we expect. Moreover, we operate in a rapidly evolving
environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it
is not possible for our management to predict all the risk factors and
uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or
the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements made in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus,
including the documents incorporated by reference herein. We qualify all of our
forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
You
should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.
The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus supplement and
accompanying prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference
herein, relate only to events or information as of the date on which the
statements are made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to
update or revise any forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by
reference herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.
You
should understand that, under Sections 27A(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Act and
Section 21E(b)(2)B of the Exchange Act, the “safe harbor” provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 do not apply to statements made
in connection with any offering of securities pursuant to this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus, if any.
Sales
of shares of our common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus may be made in transactions that are deemed to be an “at
the market offering,” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act,
including, without limitation, sales made directly on the NYSE, on any other
existing trading market for our common stock. There is no guarantee that there
will be any sales of shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Actual sales, if any, of shares of
our common stock under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus may be less than anticipated depending on the market price of our
common stock at the time of any such sale. As a result, the actual net proceeds
we receive, if any, may be more or less than the amount of net proceeds
estimated in this prospectus supplement.
We
intend to use the net proceeds from sales of shares pursuant to this prospectus
supplement to make investments in private technology companies in accordance
with our investment objective and strategies described in the accompanying
prospectus, and for general corporate purposes. Pending such use, we will invest
the net proceeds of this offering primarily in short-term securities consistent
with our qualification as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes
We
have previously entered into the Sales Agreement with the Sales Agent, under
which we may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time through the
Sales Agent acting as agent. In accordance with the terms of the Sales
Agreement, pursuant to this prospectus supplement we may sell up to
$1,000,000,000 of shares of common stock. Sales of our shares of common stock,
if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will be
made by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined
in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act.
Each
time we wish to issue and sell our shares of common stock under the Sales
Agreement, we will notify the Sales Agent of the number of shares to be issued,
the dates on which such sales are anticipated to be made, any limitation on the
number of shares to be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which
sales may not be made. Once we have so instructed the Sales Agent, unless the
Sales Agent declines to accept the terms of such notice, the Sales Agent has
agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal
trading and sales practices to sell such shares up to the amount specified on
such terms. The obligations of the Sales Agent under the Sales Agreement to sell
our shares of common stock are subject to a number of conditions that we must
meet.
The
settlement of sales of shares between us and the Sales Agent is generally
anticipated to occur on the first trading day following the date on which the
sale was made. Sales of our shares of common stock as contemplated in this
prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository
Trust Company or by such other means as we and the Sales may agree upon. There
is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar
arrangement.
We
will pay the Sales Agent a commission of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross
proceeds we receive from each sale of our shares of common stock. Because there
is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering,
the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any,
are not determinable at this time. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse the
Sales Agent for the fees and disbursements of its counsel, payable upon
execution of the Sales Agreement, in an amount not to exceed $150,000, in
addition to certain ongoing disbursements of its legal counsel, unless we and
the Sales Agent otherwise agree. We estimate that the total expenses for the
offering, excluding any commissions or expense reimbursement payable to the
Sales Agent under the terms of the Sales Agreement, will be approximately
$731,600. The remaining sale proceeds, after deducting any other transaction
fees, will equal our net proceeds from the sale of such shares.
The
Sales Agent will provide written confirmation to us before the open on the NYSE
on the day following each day on which our shares of common stock are sold under
the Sales Agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares sold on
that day, the aggregate gross proceeds of such sales and the proceeds to
us.
In
connection with the sale of our shares of common stock on our behalf, the Sales
Agent will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities
Act, and the compensation of the Sales Agent will be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts. We have agreed to indemnify the Sales Agent against
certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We
have also agreed to contribute to payments the Sales Agent may be required to
make in respect of such liabilities.
The
offering of our shares of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will
terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all shares of common stock subject
to the Sales Agreement and (ii) the termination of the Sales Agreement as
permitted therein. We and the Sales Agent may each terminate the Sales Agreement
at any time upon ten days’ prior notice.
This
summary of the material provisions of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be
a complete statement of its terms and conditions. A copy of the
Sales Agreement
has been filed as exhibit (h) to the post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-278734) filed with the SEC on
August 8, 2025, and a copy of
Amendment No. 1
to such Sales Agreement has been filed as exhibit (h)(1) to the post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-278734) filed
with the SEC on May 12, 2026, each of which is incorporated by reference in this
prospectus supplement.
The
Sales Agent and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment
banking, commercial banking, financial advisory and other financial services for
us and our affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive
customary fees. In the course of its business, the Sales Agent may actively
trade our securities for its own account or for the accounts of customers, and,
accordingly, the Sales Agent may at any time hold long or short positions in
such securities.
A
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in electronic format may
be made available on a website maintained by the Sales Agent, and the Sales
Agent may distribute the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus
electronically.
