Vivakor, Inc. has announced a significant $72 million crude oil transaction to be executed over 12 months, adding approximately $6.00 million in monthly trading volume via its VST platform.

This development follows a strong fiscal 2025 where revenue grew 16% to $104.4 million, alongside a $50 million reduction in total liabilities. The company is aggressively expanding its trading division as global oil prices surge above $100 per barrel, increasing activity across major U.S. basins.

Analysts view the monthly volume boost from the new deal as a pivotal step in strengthening Vivakor's market position and forward-looking revenue streams.
