Mega Matrix Announces Fiscal 2025 Annual Results on Form 20-F: Dual-Engine Strategy Delivers Operational Efficiency, Margin Improvement and Strategic Web3 Growth
SINGAPORE, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Mega Matrix Inc. (“MPU” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: MPU), a global short-drama streaming platform operator and digital asset treasury strategy company, today announced its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The report highlights the Company’s progress in operational efficiency, margin improvement, content strategy transformation, and disciplined digital asset treasury management.
Financial Highlights
In 2025, the Company recorded total revenue of $26.1 million. As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.3 million, providing liquidity to support operations and future growth. During the year, the Company also completed financing activities, including private placements and at-the-market offering program, further supporting its long-term development strategy.
Business and Operational Highlights
During 2025, the Company continued optimizing its short-drama business through a more asset-light operating model, scaling back in-house production in favor of third-party content procurement and AI-translation content. Although revenue declined compared to fiscal year 2024, this strategic transition helped improve marketing efficiency, lower production-related costs, and support a healthier margin profile. At the same time, marketing efficiency improved meaningfully, with advertising expense as a percentage of revenue declining from 62% in 2024 to 47% in 2025, driven by stronger organic social user acquisition. Monetization also strengthened, as average revenue per active user (ARPU) increased from $3.15 in 2024 to $3.42 in 2025, while adjusted EBITDA loss improved from $7.1 million to $5.6 million over the same period.
The Company also continued expanding the scale of its global content operations. FlexTV now offers 968 short dramas with more than 10,500 multi-language titles across 16 languages, available in more than 200 countries and regions worldwide.
Digital Asset Treasury Strategy
During 2025, the Company further refined its digital asset treasury strategy into a dual-engine framework combining stable yield and growth potential. Under this framework, the Company holds a basket of stablecoins deployed into low-risk DeFi strategies while also allocating capital to governance tokens of leading stablecoin protocols. As of December 31, 2025, the Company held digital assets including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethena (ENA), and USDT, with a carrying value of approximately $5.8 million, under institutional custody by Matrixport Cactus Custody and Anchorage Digital Bank.
Management Commentary
“Fiscal 2025 marked a pivotal year of operational discipline and strategic focus,” said Yucheng Hu, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “We optimized our short-drama model, improved marketing efficiency, and strengthened our digital asset strategy. Looking ahead, we will accelerate AI content integration, expand global user reach, and pursue sustainable growth for shareholders.”
