PRISM MarketView reviewed a selection of the companies set to transform the sports landscape for the next several years.
Motorsport Games (NASDAQ:MSGM) blends cutting-edge racing video games with dynamic esports competitions and content, delivering immersive experiences for racing enthusiasts and gamers worldwide. Most recently the company reported its first quarter financials posting net income of $1.0 million for Q1 2025, a significant improvement from a $1.7 million loss in Q1 2024, driven by reduced operating expenses and gains from settlements. The company raised $2.5 million in a private placement led by VR company Pimax and saw momentum from its Le Mans Ultimate title, with a major update planned for June. Despite improved financials and increased cash reserves, Motorsport Games continues to explore strategic options and cost-cutting initiatives to address ongoing liquidity challenges.
SharpLink Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ:SBET) is an online performance marketing company specializing in the sports betting and iGaming industries. The company connects sports fans with licensed sportsbook and casino operators through targeted affiliate marketing strategies, utilizing state-specific web domains and advanced analytics to drive user engagement and conversions. Most recently, SharpLink priced a public offering of up to 1,530,612 shares of common stock at $2.94 per share, expecting to raise approximately $4.5 million in gross proceeds. The proceeds are intended for working capital, general corporate purposes, and other uses outlined in the filed prospectus.
