Animoca Brands Releases Interim Financial Report
Animoca Brands has released an interim financial report laying out its key unaudited financial positions as of April 30, 2023. The company reported around $3.4 billion in assets, including a cash and stable balance worth of $194 million, liquid digital assets valued at $566 million — including reserves in The Sandbox SAND tokens — and off-balance sheet token reserves for other majority-owned Web3 subsidiaries amounting to $2.7 billion.

The update follows rumors that the company has faced financial struggles; on March 24, a Reuters report citing anonymous sources said that the company had cut its metaverse fund target to $800 million with its valuation dropping from $6 billion to $2 billion. However, immediately after this report was published, Animoca Brands denied such claims and downplayed suggestions that its valuation plummeted or that it scaled back its metaverse fund target.
Additional Updates Planned
Animoca Brands promised to release additional financial updates beginning with an audited financial statement for 2020 as well as future business highlights for 2022 and the first quarter of 2023.
