- Completed acquisition of the DNA X cryptocurrency trading platform
- Closed sale of the Company's mobile device assets to NEXA in January 2026
- Focused on enhancing the DNA X trading platform to prepare the platform for its initial growth phase
San Diego, California--(Newsfile Corp. - April 14, 2026) - DNA X, Inc. (NASDAQ:SONM), a provider of cryptocurrency trading services, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
The company purchased the DNA X cryptocurrency trading platform business in December 2025, following the launch of the DNA X.us website in November 2025 that is now active. The platform is designed to take advantage of movements between pairs of cryptocurrencies and to allow clients to automate trading strategies that automatically take advantage of converging and diverging pairs of cryptocurrency values.
The Company completed the sale of its mobile device design and manufacturing business to NEXA Mobility, a private company in the hardware space on January 23, 2026. The sale allows the Company to focus on the DNA X trading platform and its growth potential. The purchase price of the assets was $15 million less customary working capital adjustments with $13.5 million being paid immediately and $1.5 million in cash to be paid in nine months. The company used the proceeds to repay debt and other obligations. The remaining cash will be used to support the DNA X trading business.
On January 23, 2026, the Company successfully rebranded itself as DNA X, Inc., from Sonim Technologies Inc. The stock ticker on Nasdaq remains SONM and our primary corporate offices remain in San Diego.
On January 30, 2026, our Chief Executive Officer and board member resigned and our Executive Chairman became the acting Chief Executive Officer. A new board member, Scott Walker, a co-founder of DNA Holdings (the company that sold us the DNA X trading platform), was appointed to the board on January 30, 2026. Scott brings vast expertise in the cryptocurrency trading industry.
"We have transitioned to an industry that we believe is in its infancy and provides us with great opportunities for growth," said Mike Mulica, acting Chief Executive Officer. "We are very excited about the growth opportunity that we see in front of us."
Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:
- Revenue: There was no revenue from continuing operations because revenue from our phone and hotspot operations was included in discontinued operations.
- General & Administrative Expenses: Fourth-quarter general and administrative expenses for continuing operations were $1.2 million and were primarily due to legal costs for the acquisition of the DNA X trading platform, legal costs for the asset sale, and proxy costs for the special stockholders' vote for the asset sale.
- Cash Position: We ended the year with $1.3 million in cash from continuing operations. This cash plus cash proceeds from the asset sale will be used to support and grow the DNA X trading business.
2025 Business Highlights: We successfully purchased the DNA X trading platform and we positioned the Company to complete the sale of our mobile device assets in January 2026. These transitions allowed us to move away from the geo-political risks that drastically raised the costs to produce our phones and hotspots as we moved our production outside of China, became subject to tariffs, and as supply chain costs increased. Notable accomplishments include:
- Integrated the DNA X trading business with our existing infrastructure
- Began the integration of our phone and hotspot business with the Buyer to achieve a desired sale price for the asset sale that we completed in January 2026
- Developed a transition plan to ensure that we have necessary leadership and expertise to manage the DNA X trading business once the phone and hotspot assets were sold
2026 Outlook: "We expect future growth in revenue, gross margin and profitability as we exit the monitoring and testing phase and begin marketing our trading platform to the public," said Clay Crolius, CFO of DNA X. "With product enhancements and an increase in the number of cryptocurrencies that can be traded, we believe we are uniquely positioned to grow while increasing our margins."
