Aurelion Reports First Quarter 2026 Results
HONG KONG, March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aurelion Inc. (NASDAQ:AURE) ("Aurelion" or the "Company") today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
Recent Developments
- In October 2025, the Company completed a series of financing transactions, including an approximately $100 million private placement of equity securities anchored by Antalpha Platform Holding Company (NASDAQ:ANTA) and a $50 million three-year term loan. In connection with these transactions, the Company announced the implementation of its XAUt treasury strategy, pursuant to which Tether Gold ("XAUt"), a digital asset backed by physical gold, is intended to serve as the Company's primary treasury reserve asset.
- On October 10, 2025, Björn Schmidtke was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Following the closing of the financing transactions, the Company also implemented a number of changes to its Board of Directors and management team. These changes were intended to support the Company's strategic direction and long-term growth initiatives.
- On October 14, 2025, the Company announced the purchase of 33,318.32 units of Tether Gold ("XAUt") with approximately $134.15 million at an average price of $4,026.34 per XAUt, using proceeds from recent financing transactions. The purchases were executed on October 12 and 13, 2025.
- On November 26, 2025, the Company's Class A ordinary shares started trading on the NASDAQ under its new name "Aurelion Inc."
- In January 2026, the Company entered into an at-the-market equity offering sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and other sales agents, pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell Class A ordinary shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $500 million, subject to market conditions and other factors.
- On February 13, 2026, the Company announced the 1-for-10 share consolidation (the "Share Consolidation") of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares (together, the "Ordinary Shares") effective the opening of trading on February 19, 2026. Upon the effectiveness of the Share Consolidation, every 10 issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.000625 each will automatically be consolidated into one issued and outstanding Ordinary Share of par value US$0.00625.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported non-operating income of US$9.9 million, primarily driven by fair value gains on XAUt held resulting from the appreciation of gold during the quarter.
"Aurelion's mission is to restore verifiable, physically-backed gold at an institutional scale. We believe the traditional gold investment landscape is built on trust rather than verification, leaving investors exposed to systemic risk through products that offer synthetic exposure but no direct access to the underlying physical asset." said Björn Schmidtke, Chief Executive Officer of Aurelion. "Through our partnership with Tether, we provide direct, on-chain access to XAUt — a fully redeemable, LBMA-backed digital gold {London Bullion Market Association}— combining the transparency of blockchain with the security of physical bullion. Our strategy is to modernize gold investing, providing a verifiable, cost-efficient alternative that truly serves gold's role as a portfolio diversifier in today's digital age."
