Second-Quarter Performance

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, AGAE reported total revenue of about $1.9 million, down roughly 27% from $2.6 million a year earlier. Net loss widened to $4.8 million, compared with a $3.9 million loss in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA loss came in at $2.1 million, up from $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2024. The company closed the quarter with around $60 million in cash and short-term investments.

CEO Yangyang (James) Li said cryptocurrency will serve as both a store of value and a building block for the company's digital expansion. The move mirrors a growing corporate trend, with more companies incorporating crypto into their treasuries as adoption accelerates and regulatory clarity improves.

In-person revenue increased due to more arena-based events, while casual mobile gaming declined, driven by broader market contraction. Working capital stood at $44.9 million, giving the company resources to fund its strategic pivot toward digital assets.

Broader market access is available through funds such as Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (NYSE:BLOK) and Global X FinTech ETF (NASDAQ:FINX).
