It depends.

If this trade is an option, meaning that the supplier company has the right (not obligation) to exchange 1 unit of the supplier's share with a certain number of shares of this US company, then you can consider to agree this trade. Because it is an option, you can decide either exercise this option at the time when this US company goes to Nasdaq, if it is profitable. Or, you can simply let this option expire if it is not profitable. Because of this benefit, this option has a value. There is no free lunch. This US company probably will offer lower purchasing price of your products or something else. In which case, you should be very careful, because every dollar you lose today (i.e. accepting a lower spot price of your products) is a part of your profit/loss. And on the other hand, the true value of this option is a future value, it may or may not be enough to compensate your loss today.

In the second case, if this trade is an obligation, meaning whenever this US company is publicly exchanged, i.e. at Nasdaq, you, as a supplier, must exchange 1 unit of your company's share with a certain number of shares of this US company, then definitely don't consider this trade. Superficially, this trade is equivalent to long a forward. But this US company can play a lot of tricks so that its forward value is less and therefore you lose money.
