(Nasdaq: SRM) is a manufacturing company that designs, develops, and manufactures custom merchandise, including toys and souvenirs, for some of the world’s largest theme parks and other entertainment venues. The company operates in the sporting and athletic goods manufacturing and broader toy and merchandise space, supplying products that are closely tied to well-known entertainment brands and attractions.
According to the company’s public statements, many of SRM’s creative products are based on award-winning, multi‑billion‑dollar entertainment franchises that appear in popular movies and books. SRM’s merchandise is distributed worldwide at major destination venues such as Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Universal Parks and Destinations, United Parks and Resorts – SeaWorld, Six Flags, and other attractions. Its products are offered alongside popular rides and attractions in theme parks, zoos, aquariums, and other entertainment venues, positioning SRM as a specialized supplier to the global themed‑entertainment ecosystem.
Business focus and product categories
The company emphasizes licensed media‑themed merchandise and custom products created for specific partners. SRM has highlighted several product categories in its disclosures:
- Custom toys and souvenirs for theme parks and entertainment venues.
- Specialty dolls, plush, and toys developed for a New York City landmark that features a popular holiday show.
- Exclusive‑patented Sip With Me cups featuring kid‑friendly zoo, sea, and animal‑themed characters, as well as licensed characters from Smurfs, ICEE, and Zoonicorn.
- Collectible plush backpack clips and other themed accessories.
- Interactive light sticks controlled with a custom app, designed to synchronize colors and patterns and enhance live experiences.
- Light‑up bracelets intended for concerts, special events, and nighttime theme park experiences.
SRM’s design team is credited with creating products that have been successfully sold at specialty theme park events and in high‑traffic entertainment environments. The company notes that it has secured toy programs based on a global movie franchise that has generated more than $5 billion in global box office revenue, with products to be available at a leading theme park’s global locations.
Distribution channels and customer base
SRM services a diversified customer base across multiple entertainment sectors, including theme parks, retail, e‑commerce, and media. Its products are distributed through large theme park operators and other attractions, and the company also carries inventory of proprietary products in the United States that it sells through retailers and Amazon. This mix of channels allows SRM to place its merchandise in both destination venues and consumer retail environments.
The company has stated that it manufactures products in China and, for its largest customers, passes title to the products in China. Under this model, shipping, tariffs, and other duty‑related expenses are the responsibility of those customers. SRM has described this structure as a way to mitigate changing trade conditions. In addition, the company maintains domestic inventory of key proprietary products, which it views as a buffer against potential supply chain disruptions and tariff‑related cost increases.
Theme‑park and franchise relationships
SRM’s business is closely tied to large entertainment brands and venues. Public disclosures highlight that SRM products are distributed worldwide at:
- Walt Disney Parks and Resorts
- Universal Parks and Destinations
- United Parks and Resorts – SeaWorld
- Six Flags
- Other attractions, including zoos, aquariums, and specialty events
Many of the company’s products are based on well‑known entertainment franchises, including officially licensed Smurfs collectible Sip With Me cups, and licensed characters from ICEE and Zoonicorn. SRM has also described its role in creating specialty dolls, plush, and toys for a New York City landmark with a popular holiday show, as well as products used in specialty theme park events.
Participation in industry events
SRM has participated in major industry gatherings such as Toy Fair in New York City, where it has showcased new product lines. At Toy Fair, the company has highlighted interactive light sticks with app‑based control, light‑up bracelets for concerts and theme parks, and new designs in its plush backpack clip line. These events serve as opportunities for SRM to meet with buyers and decision‑makers in the toy and merchandise sector and to present new concepts to potential and existing partners.
TRON treasury strategy and corporate transformation
In addition to its merchandise business, SRM has undertaken a significant corporate transformation involving digital assets. The company has announced a TRON ("TRX") token treasury strategy funded by a large equity investment. SRM has described itself as the largest publicly traded corporate holder of TRON tokens, with its holdings staked through JustLend to earn staking yield. The company has stated that this strategy is intended to create long‑term value by capitalizing on the global adoption of cryptocurrency, blockchain, and digital innovation.
To reflect this strategic shift, SRM Entertainment, Inc. approved a change of its corporate name to Tron Inc. and a change of its Nasdaq trading symbol from "SRM" to "TRON". According to an 8‑K filing, the name change and symbol change take effect on the Nasdaq Capital Market on July 17, 2025. The company has emphasized that this transformation aligns with its focus on TRON treasury management, while it continues to operate its merchandise business through a wholly owned subsidiary.
Regulatory and listing status
SRM’s common stock has traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol "SRM" and, following the approved changes, is scheduled to trade under "TRON". The company has disclosed that it received an additional 180‑day extension from Nasdaq to regain compliance with the minimum $1 per share bid price requirement, with its stock continuing to trade on Nasdaq during this extension period. The company has stated that it meets other continued listing requirements related to market value of publicly held shares and other criteria, aside from the bid price requirement.
Capital raising activities
SRM has completed several capital‑raising transactions, including a private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing involving Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants, and a separate $100,000,000 equity investment to fund its TRON treasury strategy. These transactions involve the issuance of preferred stock convertible into common shares and warrants exercisable for additional common shares, offered to accredited investors under exemptions from registration. The company has indicated that proceeds are used for general corporate purposes, working capital, and to build its TRON token treasury.
Business model considerations
From its public disclosures, SRM’s business model combines:
- Design, development, and manufacturing of licensed and custom merchandise for large entertainment venues and brands.
- Distribution of products through theme parks, attractions, retail, and e‑commerce channels.
- Management of a digital asset treasury focused on TRON tokens, including staking activities.
The company has highlighted its ability to mitigate trade‑related risks through its manufacturing and title‑transfer structure, its domestic inventory of proprietary products, and its diversified customer base across entertainment sectors.
