Hyundai Closes $325 Million Purchase of Boston Dynamics, Gains Full Ownership

Hyundai Motor Group completed its acquisition of SoftBank's remaining 9.65% stake in Boston Dynamics on June 19, 2026, for $325 million, securing 100% control. The deal values the robotics firm at roughly $3.4 billion—triple Hyundai's initial 2020 stake purchase. Full ownership removes governance constraints, clearing the path for Atlas, Hyundai's humanoid robot, to enter U.S. manufacturing facilities by 2028.
