Securitize Corp. recorded a $21.7 million net loss for the second quarter, more than triple the $6.1 million loss from the same period a year earlier, as total revenue declined 5 percent to $14.4 million. The results, released August 12, marked the company's first earnings report since its July 2 debut on the New York Stock Exchange.

The loss equaled $2.37 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA turned to a $5.5 million deficit from a $1.8 million profit in the prior-year quarter. Total operating costs and expenses climbed 56 percent to $24.1 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses more than doubled to $8.2 million, compensation and benefits rose 31 percent to $10.5 million, and the provision for expected credit losses increased to $1.3 million from roughly $112,000.

Fair-value adjustments also weighed on results. The company recorded a $29.3 million loss tied to an option liability, partially offset by a $21.8 million gain on a derivative liability.

Revenue Mix and Asset Growth

Tokenization revenue fell 12 percent to approximately $7.8 million, while asset-servicing revenue edged up 3 percent to $6.6 million. Average tokenized assets under management reached a record $4.3 billion, a 16 percent increase year over year. Quarter-end tokenized assets under management also stood at $4.3 billion, up 9 percent. The platform added about $1 billion during the quarter and now manages roughly $5 billion onchain, with more than seven assets each exceeding $100 million.

Aggregate transaction volume surged 147 percent to $5.3 billion. Securitize Fund Services was administering 663 active funds at June 30, though assets under administration declined about 20 percent to $24.3 billion.

Share Performance and Strategic Steps

SECZ shares closed the regular session at $7.86, rising more than 6 percent, before falling nearly 20 percent to about $6.30 in after-hours trading. The reported quarter preceded the public listing.

During the second quarter Securitize secured FINRA approval for its broker-dealer to custody tokenized securities and to support atomic settlement between securities and stablecoins. It also gained authorization to participate in underwriting and selling groups for primary and secondary offerings. Partnerships advanced with transfer agents Computershare and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust on issuer-sponsored tokenized equities, alongside infrastructure collaboration with Jump Trading and Jupiter.

After the quarter closed, Securitize Capital obtained SEC registered investment adviser status. The company tokenized its own listed shares on Solana and Avalanche on its first trading day and continued expanding tokenized fund products, including broader availability of BlackRock’s BUIDL fund and the addition of its STAC fund to Solana.

Next Steps

Management scheduled an earnings call for 8:30 a.m. ET on August 13 to discuss cost trends, revenue drivers and the post-listing capital position. Presentation materials were expected to follow on the investor relations site. Regulatory developments remain a focus, with the company noting ongoing work around innovation frameworks and potential rulemaking related to crypto investment contracts.
