(NASDAQ: GROW) (the \"Company\"), a registered investment advisory firm1 with longstanding experience in global markets and specialized sectors, today reported operating revenues of $2.1 million and a net loss of $382,000, or $0.03 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen tremendous success since launching in January 2024. BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, for instance, holds the record for fastest growth to $10 billion and $50 billion in assets under management (AUM).3 Each month, the Company plans to gain exposure to Bitcoin; separately, we plan to accumulate common shares in HIVE as our HIVE notes mature, as we continue to believe HIVE remains significantly undervalued.” WAR Positioned to Benefit Amid Rising Geopolitical Risk The Company’s newest smart beta 2.0 ETF, the U.S. Global Technology and Aerospace & Defense ETF (NYSE: WAR), continues to gain traction since its December 2024 launch.
