Executive summary

• Achieved record full-year revenue of $16.5M in 2025, up 305% year-over-year, driven by Builder+ block-building and the launch of Imperium DeFi segment.

• Focused on three business lines: NodeOps, Builder+, and Imperium, targeting scalable, high-margin revenue in the Ethereum ecosystem.

• Maintains disciplined execution and efficient deployment of ETH and assets to drive sustainable growth.

Financial highlights

• 2025 gross profit reached $2.0M, up 112% year-over-year, but gross margin declined to 12% from 23% due to higher validator and infrastructure costs.

• Net loss widened to $33.4M in 2025, primarily due to $23.9M in losses on digital assets and non-cash price movements.

• Total assets surged to $214.6M at year-end 2025, up 460% from $38.2M in 2024, with ETH holdings up 680% to 70,787 ETH.

• Blockchain infrastructure revenue reached $15.2M (92% of total), DeFi revenue $1.3M (8% of total) after Imperium launch.

Outlook and guidance
