Investing.com -- Yoshiharu Global Co. (NASDAQ:YOSH) stock rose over 2% after the company announced it has secured $6.0 million in strategic funding from U.S. and Korean investors to support its transition into a PropTech company.

The California-based company also revealed plans to change its corporate name to Vestand Inc., marking its shift from a traditional restaurant operator to a diversified brand that includes real estate development and digital asset ventures. The name change was approved by the company’s Board of Directors on July 10, 2025.

According to the announcement, the $6.0 million in funding was executed in March and April of 2024 and has already supported corporate restructuring, debt repayment, and the acquisition of four residential properties in California. Yoshiharu aims to raise an additional $30.0+ million by the first half of 2027, with a target of $100 million in cumulative real estate investments.

The company has partnered with Good Mood Studio, a U.S.-based developer, to deploy AI-powered Automated Valuation Models, renovation strategies, and a short-term buy-and-resell model. Yoshiharu expects several projects to yield over 30% Return on Equity based on comparable property prices in surrounding areas.

Additionally, the company has invested in Wealthrail, a fractional real estate investment platform that integrates digital assetization, including tokenized securities.

"We are actively preparing to position Vestand as an evolved iBuyer that differentiates itself from companies like Opendoor (NASDAQ:OPEN) and Offerpad by combining asset-backed revenue models with AI-driven technology," said Ji-Won Kim, Director and CEO of Yoshiharu, while acknowledging that the company is still in the early stages of this transition.

The company also announced an enhancement of its internal control policy to strengthen transparency and governance.
