Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Forum Markets, Incorporated (FRMM), formerly ETHZilla Corporation, reported its first full quarter as a blockchain-based real‑world‑asset (RWA) platform, combining digital-asset activities with new aviation and lending businesses. Total assets were $159.0 million at June 30 2026, down from $306.3 million at December 31 2025, reflecting reductions in digital assets and a shift into marketable securities and loans. Cash and cash equivalents were $4.1 million, and digital assets stood at $21.6 million, primarily ETH pledged as collateral.
For the three months ended June 30 2026, Forum Markets generated $1.4 million of revenue, mainly from aircraft engine rental, and a gross profit of $0.4 million. Operating expenses of $10.3 million, largely general and administrative, led to an operating loss of $9.9 million. Significant non‑operating items included $6.4 million in digital‑asset losses, a $0.6 million gain from derivative instruments, and a $2.7 million gain on a Zippy make‑whole provision, resulting in a net loss from continuing operations of $12.4 million.
Over the first six months of 2026, revenue totaled $4.2 million from staking and aircraft engine leasing, but the company recorded a substantial net loss from continuing operations of $90.0 million, driven by $12.8 million in digital‑asset losses and a $48.6 million loss on an embedded derivative tied to liquid‑staking activities, which were exited during the period. Forum Markets also expanded into auto and manufactured‑home loan receivables, with loans receivable of $17.2 million, implemented a stock repurchase program that bought back 7.1 million shares for $31.3 million, and raised $5.5 million via its at‑the‑market equity program.
