NEW YORK, March 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AtlasClear Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:ATCH) ("AtlasClear" or the "Company"), a financial services company building modern clearing, custody, and trading infrastructure, today announced that Dawson James Securities, Inc. has commenced clearing operations through Wilson-Davis & Co., Inc., AtlasClear's wholly owned self-clearing broker-dealer subsidiary.

The onboarding of Dawson James represents the first major introducing broker integration on Wilson-Davis' enhanced clearing platform. During the integration process, the Company completed targeted enhancements to its clearing technology stack to support multi-client scalability. These infrastructure upgrades position the platform to significantly reduce onboarding timelines for future correspondent clients.

AtlasClear operates a fixed-cost clearing infrastructure. As additional introducing brokers transition onto the platform, incremental transaction and commission revenue can scale efficiently against this base, supporting operating leverage and margin expansion.

John Schaible, Executive Chairman of AtlasClear, said, "With Dawson James now live on our platform, we've reached a meaningful inflection point. This integration allowed us to further optimize our clearing infrastructure for scalable, multi-client deployment. The enhanced architecture positions us to onboard additional correspondents efficiently and translate our active pipeline into sustainable revenue growth."

Craig Ridenhour, President of AtlasClear, added, "Our clearing model is designed to generate operating leverage. Each new introducing broker contributes incremental transaction revenue against a fixed-cost infrastructure base. Dawson James represents the first integration under our enhanced architecture, with additional correspondent opportunities progressing through the pipeline."

AtlasClear continues to advance discussions with prospective broker-dealer partners as it scales its correspondent clearing platform through Wilson-Davis.
