- GLDY is scheduled to go live on Equity Trust's IRA platform the week following the earnings release, enabling U.S. investors to hold yield-bearing gold in an IRA.
- The Cask Foundation expects to launch USGY publicly after completing initial liquidity bootstrapping, with GLDC anticipated to launch in early 2027.
- Management expects fees to scale with assets against a largely fixed cost base, with incremental assets flowing through to Adjusted EBITDA once fees cover fixed costs.
- Future commitments include growing institutional demand for the gold carry strategy and new institutional buyers of GLDY.
Business Segments and Product Lines:
- GLDY gold holdings increased to 3,351 ounces from 3,111 ounces, adding 240 net new ounces compared to 15 in the second quarter; the company issued 208 new GLDY tokens to subscribers, up from 27 in the prior quarter.

- The company bridges traditional finance and blockchain-enabled markets through secure, regulated, and yield-bearing financial instruments.
- GLDY net asset value has tracked gold one-to-one since launch, with reserves independently attested by EisnerAmper and viewable on Chainlink Proof of Reserve.
Risks and Challenges:
- Actual results may differ materially from forward-looking statements due to risks including economic conditions, volatility in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices.
- Risks include volatility in capital or credit markets, the impact of securities regulations on the business model, and the adequacy of working capital.
- The company faces risks related to the level of demand for tokenized structures, the ability to secure industrial leases, and the ability of lessees to make lease payments.
- Potential disruptions include changes in laws and regulations, increased regulation of the blockchain industry, and technological or operational disruptions.
- The targeted 3.5% annualized GLDY yield is not guaranteed and is subject to risks of the gold leasing program, including counterparty default.
