Strong Portfolio Momentum Continues to be Driven by AI and AI Infrastructure Investments

NEW YORK, Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SuRo Capital Corp. (“SuRo Capital”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) (Nasdaq: SSSS) today provided the following preliminary update on its investment portfolio for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

“As previously highlighted, our record second quarter growth was driven by widespread recognition of the value generated by AI and AI Infrastructure companies. This momentum has continued into the third quarter,” said Mark Klein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SuRo Capital.  

Mr. Klein further emphasized, “Earlier this month, OpenAI reportedly concluded a secondary share sale, valuing the company at $500 billion and solidifying its position as the most valuable private company in the world. As this transaction was reported subsequent to quarter-end, we have maintained our investment in OpenAI Global, LLC (“OpenAI”) through ARK Type One Deep Ventures Fund LLC at the previously confirmed $300 billion post-money valuation.”

Mr. Klein continued, “As is our customary practice, we remain committed to identifying and investing in the next generation of category-defining companies. In September, we invested $5 million into HL Digital Assets, Inc., a company investing in HYPE, the digital token of Hyperliquid. Hyperliquid is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange designed to enable fast, transparent, and secure digital asset trading.”

“In alignment with our primary objective of enhancing shareholder value, at the beginning of the third quarter our Board of Directors declared an initial cash dividend of $0.25 per share. As of September 30th, we have monetized less than 20% of our initial investment in CW Opportunity 2, LP, which is directly invested in the publicly traded shares of CoreWeave. Subject to Board approval, we anticipate announcing another distribution by year-end from future monetizations of this position and ongoing portfolio realizations,” Mr. Klein concluded.

As previously reported, SuRo Capital’s net assets totaled approximately $219.4 million, or $9.18 per share ($8.93 per share on a dividend-adjusted basis), at June 30, 2025, and approximately $157.4 million, or $6.73 per share at September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, SuRo Capital’s net asset value is estimated to be between $9.00 and $9.50 per share.
