Roundtable (RTB) announced a UK sports media coalition with more than a dozen Premier League publications joining its platform.
Absolute Chelsea, City Xtra, Last Word on Spurs and Liverpool Transfer Room are among the publications named. They join a sports media coalition described as including more than 200 brands globally. Roundtable says former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss is leading a broader European effort to bring independent media brands onto its platform. Coalition members use the platform for publishing, distribution and payments.
Roundtable (RTB) launched its Coinbase-powered DeFi/AI media payment platform for real-time USDC ad settlements on September 23, 2026.
The platform is live, integrated with Roundtable’s Media Liquidity Pool, and connects AI-driven smart wallets to journalists’ Coinbase accounts to automate instant ad-payment settlement without human intermediaries. Roundtable recently signed a ten-year contract to migrate 21 major media brands, hundreds of journalists and nearly 100 million viewers consuming $100 million in advertising from a Web1, fiat-based system to its Web3 MediaOS and DeFi payment network, which already tracks and clears trillions of AI-monitored bids in the U.S. The London unveiling includes a European premium media coalition offer at no cost to major media brands, as former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss joins Roundtable’s board. RTB’s Nasdaq-listed shares also began trading on Coinbase today.
Roundtable (RTB) filed an 8‑K outlining a 2027 forecast of approximately $102.1 million in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA‑positive operations, pro forma for its Paradium.AI partnership.
The 2027 model projects Q1 revenue of $19.8 million, full‑year cost of sales of $60.1 million, and gross profit of $42.0 million, implying gross margins of 40% in Q1 and 41% for the year. Operating expenses are forecast at $7.0 million in Q1 and $28.8 million for 2027, yielding projected Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million in Q1 and $13.2 million for the full year. The company highlights operating leverage from largely fixed costs as revenue grows past profitability.
The forecast assumes successful closing of the Paradium.AI (PAAI) transaction, which requires financing, and reflects a customer base rising from 64 enterprise media customers in Q1 2027 to 104 by year‑end, with monthly unique users increasing from 83.4 million to 99.8 million.
Roundtable (RTB) clarified that its 10-year, $1 billion relationship with Paradium.AI is a strategic platform partnership, not an acquisition or tender offer.
The companies have entered a 10-year Strategic Platform Agreement for Paradium.AI to migrate, operate and monetize its premium media portfolio on Roundtable’s AI/DeFi-powered MediaOS. Roundtable will purchase a minority equity interest directly from Paradium.AI’s largest shareholder, remaining below control, with no plans to consolidate or acquire majority ownership. Closing, expected in Q4 2026, is conditional on completion of the minority share purchase, including a required capital raise.
The platform agreement includes $11.5 million of Roundtable stock as consideration for technology license transfer and other elements. Roundtable expects no incremental operating expenses versus its existing model, a payback within two years from platform margin, and says the partnership could build a $100 million annual ad ecosystem and generate $1 billion over 10 years, subject to closing and market conditions.
Roundtable (RTB) has appointed former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss to its Board of Directors to lead development of a European Press Coalition. Truss will focus on using Roundtable’s AI/DeFi-powered media operating system to help high-quality, human-led journalism become financially self-supporting, which the company describes as critical amid technology- and AI-driven pressures on traditional media. Roundtable reports an assembled audience exceeding 100 million and a $100 million marketplace that is shared by dozens of premium media brands and hundreds of professional journalists.
Paradium.AI (PAAI) and Roundtable (RTB) signed a 10-year strategic platform agreement and related equity transaction, targeted to close in Q4 2026, both subject to closing conditions.
Under the Platform Agreement, Roundtable is expected to provide technology, monetization and operating services for Paradium.AI’s media brands, while Paradium.AI keeps ownership of its brands, domains, intellectual property and audiences. Roundtable’s model is to assume a substantial portion of Paradium.AI’s annual operating functions and costs in areas such as product, engineering and monetization, in return for a percentage of revenue from media brands hosted on Roundtable’s platform.
Roundtable will also receive a worldwide, perpetual license to certain Paradium.AI technology assets, and Paradium.AI will receive Roundtable common stock, subject to closing price and Nasdaq minimum pricing requirements. Separately, Roundtable agreed in a private deal to buy Paradium.AI shares from Simplify at $3.80 per share, resulting in post-closing ownership of about 49.5% of Paradium.AI, with Simplify retaining roughly 23.1%.
Roundtable (RTB) agreed a 10-year, $1 billion deal with Paradium.AI (PAAI, formerly The Arena Group) to migrate, operate and monetize PAAI’s premium media portfolio on Roundtable’s AI/DeFi-powered MediaOS.
After closing, Roundtable forecasts $100 million annualized revenue and an EBITDA-positive run rate on a stand-alone basis, supported by about 100 million monthly consumers. Roughly two dozen brands, including TheStreet, Parade, Men's Journal, Athlon Sports, Autoblog and Powder, plus hundreds of professional journalists, are expected to move onto MediaOS.
Roundtable will assume PAAI’s ad operations, consolidate a nine-figure ad ecosystem, and receive a worldwide, non-cancelable, perpetual license to PAAI’s technical assets. The agreements depend on Roundtable making an $89 million cash-and-stock minority investment for approximately 49% of PAAI and satisfying other funding and closing conditions targeted for Q4.
Roundtable (RTB) will host a shareholder video conference call at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, September 17, 2026, led by CEO James Heckman.
The call will provide details of a previously disclosed strategic partnership associated with a $10 million deposit, which management characterizes as transformational for revenue trajectory, audience scale, advertising marketplace, operations, capitalization, and financial forecasts. Roundtable plans to share how this transaction fits into its growth plan and to include a financial forecast.
Shareholders and stakeholders can join via Zoom on PC, Mac, iPad, Android, or phone using the provided webinar ID and passcode, and may submit questions via video or text through Rtb.io, with submissions open ahead of the event.
