TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ether Capital Corporation (“Ether Capital” or the “Company”) (NEO: ETHC) announces the reporting of its financial results as at and for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020.
As at December 31, 2020:
- The total value of the Ether held by the Company was $30.2 million
- The total assets of the Company were $34.0 million
- The total shareholders’ equity of the Company was $33.9 million
- The Company recorded net earnings of $0.97 per share for year ended December 31, 2020, which was primarily the result of the net change in unrealized gain on fair value remeasurement of digital intangible assets
As at March 25, 2021, the total value of the Ether held by the Company was $88.4 million. This value reflects the investment of approximately $24.5 million in Ether on March 16, 2021 following the public offering of securities of the Company which closed on March 15, 2021.
Brian Mosoff, Ether Capital’s CEO said: “Ethereum and its ecosystem had an impressive year in 2020. In addition to an improved pricing environment, we saw an enormous amount of activity, particularly around decentralized finance and stablecoins. We saw a large degree of corporate and institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies in 2020 and believe that this bodes well for the long term value proposition of Ethereum. Lastly, we saw Ethereum successfully launch proof of stake this year, which means Ether holders who elect to ‘stake’ their Ether can earn inflationary block rewards. Ether Capital intends to make a more substantial commitment of its Ether balance to staking which we expect to make an announcement on in due course. We are grateful to all of our stakeholders for their continued support.”
