Helion Energy was founded in 2013 by Chris Pihl, David Kirtley, George Votroubek, and John Slough. In a discussion with Reuters in May 2023, Microsoft announced a purchase deal with the energy company leaving its valuation at over $570 million. Helion’s founder David Kirtley said, “The revenue feeds right back into us developing more power plants and getting fusion out on the grid both in the United States and internationally as fast as possible.” While growth is forecasted for Helion Energy the company has not officially endorsed a plan to participate in an IPO.

There is no exact date for when Helion Energy will have a functional clean energy reactor. However, journalist Catherine Clifford from CNBC reported that a functional fusion reactor will not "be a commercially viable energy source powering your home and my computer next year. But it no longer feels like flying a spaceship to Pluto."
