Aurelion Reports Second Fiscal Quarter 2026 Financial Results
HONG KONG, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aurelion Inc. (NASDAQ: AURE) ("Aurelion" or the "Company"), the world's first NASDAQ-listed Tether Gold (XAU₮) treasury company, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
"This quarter marked a transformative leap for Aurelion, as the Company took meaningful steps towards establishing itself as the world's first digital gold treasury asset company and positioning us at the forefront of AI and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization," said Bjorn Schmidtke, Chief Executive Officer. "In April, we committed to participate in the XAUE protocol, through which we seek to generate potential yield while preserving exposure to the underlying asset. The launch of our AI employee Duncan.Aure in March lays the foundation for Aurelion's broader AI enabled initiatives and reinforces our commitment to innovation at every layer of the business. We believe Aurelion is well positioned to lead this charge as a first mover in this space - capturing the upside of gold appreciation alongside on-chain cash flows."
Business Highlights
- Participation in XAUE: on April 24, 2026, Aurelion committed 10,000 units of XAU₮ (approximately $48 million) to XAUE, a new protocol that enables yield generation on gold holdings by allowing tokenized gold to be deployed while preserving exposure to the underlying asset.
- Welcomed Its First AI Employee Duncan.Aure: Duncan is an AI agent designed to educate the market about XAUt, and will provide standardized interfaces for automated XAU₮ trading strategies, cross-protocol DeFi execution and digital gold allocation.
- NAV: Aurelion NAV as of March 31, 2026 was $116.4 million (33,318 units of XAU₮) and NAV per share was $3.16.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported operating income of $8.9 million, primarily driven by fair value gains on XAUt held resulting from the appreciation of gold during the quarter.
