Comment from Johan Wattenström, Chief Executive Officer of DeFi Technologies
"These results reflect the strength of the business model we have built. Valour continued to scale its global ETP platform with more than 100 listed products and strong inflows throughout the year. Stillman Digital delivered its first full year of contribution and further strengthened the institutional layer of our platform. Across the business, we have demonstrated that DeFi Technologies is not reliant on any single product, revenue stream, or market environment. We have built a durable business with multiple pathways for growth and believe we have never been better positioned to scale the platform and capitalize on the opportunities ahead.
We believe DeFi Technologies is one of the few profitable companies in the digital asset sector, across both public and private markets, with demonstrated earnings power and a platform built to generate revenue across cycles. That distinction matters. It reflects a business designed not only to grow, but to monetize effectively and compound value over time.
We ended the year with a much stronger financial position, including more than $113 million in cash, alongside digital asset treasury holdings and a valuable venture portfolio. That fortress balance sheet allows us to be proactive rather than reactionary. It enables us to deploy capital deliberately into growth initiatives, new products, strategic infrastructure, and potential acquisitions that deepen our capabilities, expand our vertical integration, and strengthen our long-term earnings profile.
The capital we raised has also enhanced our ability to increase monetization across the platform, particularly by strengthening the trading, hedging, and market-making infrastructure that supports Valour's issuance stack and allows us to earn additional income on AUM more efficiently. As we look ahead to 2026, we intend to build on that momentum by scaling Valour's structured product offerings, advancing institutional fund structures such as UCITS, AMCs, and other regulated investment vehicles, supporting Stillman's institutional execution and infrastructure growth, and broadening our reach across new markets and distribution channels.
More broadly, we are building for the convergence of decentralized finance and traditional capital markets. We see a significant long-term opportunity to create the products, infrastructure, and institutional rails that enable capital to move between these two worlds in a regulated, efficient, and scalable way.
We are entering 2026 from a position of strength, with a proven business model, growing monetization, and the financial flexibility to invest in the next phase of growth. We believe we are still in the early stages of building the institutional gateway to the future of finance."
