ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Our Company

We are a global financial innovator, offering a diverse suite of ETPs, models and solutions, private market investments and digital asset-related products. Our offerings empower investors to shape their financial future and equip financial professionals to grow their businesses. Leveraging the latest financial infrastructure, we create products that emphasize access and transparency and provide an enhanced user experience.

Building on our heritage of innovation, we continue to broaden our capabilities beyond our core ETP business. We offer next-generation digital products and services related to tokenized real world assets and stablecoins, including tokenized mutual funds (“Digital Funds”), as well as our institutional platform, WisdomTree Connect, and blockchain-native digital wallet, WisdomTree Prime. We also have expanded into private assets through our acquisition of Ceres, a leading U.S.-based alternative asset manager specializing in farmland investments.

As of December 31, 2025, we managed approximately $144.5 billion in assets under management, or AUM. Our products span a broad range of strategies including equities, commodities, fixed income, leveraged-and-inverse, cryptocurrency, currency, alternatives, and private assets. We have launched many first-to-market products and pioneered a unique alternative-weighting approach called “Modern Alpha” that combines the outperformance potential of active management with the cost-effective benefits of passive management.

Our products are distributed across all major asset management industry channels, including banks, brokerage firms, registered investment advisers, institutional investors, private wealth managers and online brokers, primarily through our dedicated sales team. We believe technology is transforming how financial advisors conduct business, and through our Advisor and Portfolio Solutions programs we offer technology-enabled and research-driven solutions. These include portfolio construction, asset allocation, practice management services and digital tools to help advisors address technology challenges and scale their businesses.

As pioneers in tokenization and blockchain technology, we view this as the next phase in the evolution of financial services. Through our digital assets strategy, we are committed to “responsible DeFi,” aligning with regulatory standards to foster growth in this rapidly evolving space. We believe that expanding into digital assets and blockchain-enabled financial services not only complements our core competencies but will diversify our revenue streams and further contribute to our growth.

We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on September 19, 1985 as Financial Data Systems, Inc. and were ultimately renamed WisdomTree, Inc. on November 7, 2022.

Assets Under Management

WisdomTree Products

We offer products covering equity, commodities, fixed income, leveraged-and-inverse, cryptocurrency, currency, alternatives, and private assets. The chart below sets forth the asset mix of our products at December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025:

Our Operating and Financial Results

We operate as an ETP sponsor and asset manager, providing investment advisory services globally through our subsidiaries in the U.S. and Europe.

U.S. Listed ETFs

The AUM of our U.S. listed exchange traded funds, or U.S. listed ETFs, increased from $79.1 billion at December 31, 2024 to $88.5 billion at December 31, 2025 due to market appreciation and net inflows.

European Listed ETPs

The AUM of our European listed (including internationally cross-listed) ETPs, or European listed ETPs, increased from $30.7 billion at December 31, 2024 to $53.5 billion at December 31, 2025, due to market appreciation and net inflows.

Digital Assets

The AUM of our digital assets products increased from $0.0 billion at December 31, 2024 to $0.8 billion at December 31, 2025 due to net inflows. Substantially all 2025 inflows were into the WisdomTree Treasury Money Market Digital Fund.

Private Assets

Through our acquisition of Ceres on October 1, 2025 (the “Ceres Acquisition”), we acquired $1.8 billion of private assets AUM primarily held within an open-ended investment fund, Ceres Farms, LLC (“Ceres Farms”). This AUM increased by approximately $0.1 billion to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2025, due to $37.0 million of inflows and market appreciation.

Consolidated Operating Results

The following table sets forth our revenues and net income for the last three years.

  • Revenues – We recorded operating revenues of $493.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, up 15.4% from the year ended December 31, 2024 due to revenues arising from the Ceres Acquisition, higher average AUM and higher other revenues attributable to our European listed ETPs, partly offset by a lower average advisory fee. Other income for the prior year also included $4.3 million of other revenues related to legal and other related expenses incurred in connection with a settlement with the SEC regarding certain statements about the ESG screening process for three ETFs advised by WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (the “SEC ESG Settlement”) that were covered by insurance.
  • Expenses – Total operating expenses increased 10.0% from the year ended December 31, 2024 to $319.6 million primarily due to compensation expense arising from the Ceres Acquisition and higher headcount, fund management and administration expenses, acquisition-related costs, third-party distribution fees, occupancy costs and sales and business development expenses. These increases were partly offset by lower professional fees, as the prior year included $5.0 million of expenses incurred in response to an activist campaign and $4.3 million of legal and other related expenses incurred in connection with the SEC ESG Settlement that were covered by insurance.
  • Other Income/(Expenses) – Other income/(expenses) includes interest income and interest expense, loss on extinguishment of convertible notes, remeasurement of contingent consideration and other losses and gains. See “Other Income/(Expenses)” in Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information.
  • Net income – We reported net income of $66.7 million and $109.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information.

Seasonality

We believe seasonal fluctuations in the asset management industry are common, however such trends are generally masked by global market events and market volatility in general. Therefore, period-to-period comparisons of our or the industry’s flows and operating results may not be meaningful or indicative of results in future periods.

Our Industry – ETPs

We believe ETPs have been one of the most innovative investment products to emerge in the last two decades in the asset management industry. As of December 31, 2025, aggregate AUM of ETPs globally was $18.2 trillion.

The chart below reflects the AUM of the global ETP industry since 2006:

As of December 31, 2025, we were the 15th largest ETP sponsor globally based on AUM.

Exchange traded funds, or ETFs, while similar to mutual funds in many respects, attract a wide array of investors who value their unique benefits, including:

  • Transparency. ETFs disclose the composition of their underlying portfolios on a daily basis, unlike mutual funds, which typically disclose their holdings every 90 days.
  • Intraday trading, hedging strategies and complex orders. Like stocks, ETFs and other exchange-traded products can be bought and sold on exchanges throughout the trading day at market prices. ETFs update the indicative values of their underlying portfolios every 15 seconds. As publicly-traded securities, ETF shares can be purchased on margin and sold short, enabling the use of hedging strategies, and traded using limit orders, allowing investors to specify the price points at which they are willing to trade.
  • Tax efficiency. In the U.S., whenever a mutual fund or ETF realizes a capital gain that is not balanced by a realized loss, it must distribute the capital gain to its shareholders. These gains are taxable to all shareholders, even those who reinvest the gain distributions in additional shares of the fund. However, most ETFs typically redeem their shares through “in-kind” redemptions in which low-cost securities are transferred out of the ETF in exchange for fund shares in a non-taxable transaction. By using this process, ETFs can avoid the transaction fees and tax impact incurred by mutual funds that sell securities to generate cash to pay out redemptions.
  • Uniform pricing. From a cost perspective, ETFs are one of the most equitable investment products on the market. Investors in a U.S. listed ETF pay identical advisory fees regardless of the investors’ size, structure or sophistication. Unlike mutual funds, U.S. listed ETFs generally do not have different share classes or different expense structures for retail and institutional clients, and ETFs typically are not sold with sales loads or 12b-1 fees. In many cases, ETFs offer lower expense ratios than comparable mutual funds.

ETFs are used in various ways by a range of investors with varying strategies and objectives, from conservative to speculative uses including:

  • Low-cost index investing. ETFs provide exposure to a variety of broad-based indexes across equities, fixed income, commodities and other asset classes and strategies, and can be used as both long-term portfolio holdings or short-term trading tools. ETFs offer an efficient and less costly method by which to gain exposure to indexes as compared to individual stock ownership.
  • Improved access to specific asset classes. Investors often use ETFs to gain access to specific market sectors or regions around the world or a particular asset, such as physical gold or crypto, by investing in an ETF that holds a portfolio of securities in that sector, region or asset rather than gaining exposure by purchasing individual securities, physical commodities or currencies.
  • Asset allocation. Investors seeking to invest in various asset classes to develop an asset allocation model in a cost-effective manner can do so easily with ETFs, which offer broad exposure to various asset classes in a single security.
  • Protective hedging. Investors seeking to protect their portfolios may use ETFs as a hedge against unexpected declines in prices of securities arising from market movements and changes in currency and interest rates.
  • Income generation. Investors seeking to obtain income from their portfolios may buy fixed income ETFs that typically distribute monthly income or dividend-paying ETFs that encompass a basket of dividend-paying stocks rather than buying individual stocks.
  • Speculative investing. Investors with a specific directional opinion about a market sector may choose to buy or sell (long or short) an ETF covering or leveraging that market sector.
  • Arbitrage. Sophisticated investors may use ETFs to exploit perceived value differences between the ETF and the value of the ETF’s underlying portfolio of securities.
  • Diversification. By definition, ETFs represent a basket of securities and each fund may contain hundreds or even thousands of different individual securities. The “instant diversification” of ETFs provides investors with broad exposure to an asset class, market sector or geography.

The ETF sector of the asset management industry remains highly favored among investors. According to Morningstar, from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025, equity ETFs have generated positive inflows of approximately $2.8 trillion, while long-term equity mutual funds have generated outflows of approximately ($2.0) trillion. In addition, ETF fixed income flows are benefiting from a broader range of investors gravitating toward fixed income products in the ETF structure. We believe this trend is due to the inherent benefits of ETFs – transparency, liquidity and tax efficiency.

We anticipate our growth, along with that of the industry, will continue to be driven by the following factors:

  • Increased investor awareness. ETPs have been gaining market share from mutual funds as investors become more aware of their key advantages – transparency, liquidity, tax efficiency and generally lower fees. We expect this shift in inflows from traditional mutual funds to ETPs to continue as investors become more informed about these benefits.
  • Transition to fee-based models. Financial advisors are increasingly adopting a fee-based approach, where they charge clients based on AUM rather than earning commissions on transactions. Since ETFs typically offer lower expense ratios than mutual funds, we believe this transition will further support ETF industry growth.
  • Innovative products. ETPs now cover nearly every asset class, from equities to fixed income to commodities and cryptocurrencies. Significant potential remains for innovation in areas such as thematic, liquid alternative and cryptocurrency strategies and expanding ETP access to investors who might otherwise use hedge funds, separate accounts, single-stock investments, futures or direct investment in commodity markets.
  • Evolving demographics. As the “baby boomer” generation continues to retire, we anticipate increased demand for diverse investment solutions focused on income generation and principal protection, with more investors seeking guidance from financial advisors. Advisors are likely to allocate a greater share of clients’ portfolios to ETPs, given their typically lower expense ratios, alignment with fee-based models, and ability to enhance multi-asset allocation across varied market sectors. We believe ETFs are well-suited to meet the needs of this significant investor group. Additionally, with many younger investors and advisors showing a preference for ETPs, we expect generational wealth transfers to further drive growth in the ETP industry.
  • International expansion. While the U.S. currently represents the majority of ETP assets, the same growth factors are emerging globally, suggesting continued international expansion for ETPs.

Our Industry – Digital Assets

We believe that digital assets, tokenization and blockchain technology will drive innovation across financial services, transforming investments, savings, payments and operations. The digital assets industry has gained significant momentum among market participants, including asset management and fintech firms, banks, broker-dealers and investors. We anticipate that blockchain technology will enhance product structures and execution in financial services, with benefits including:

  • Transparency. Blockchains’ distributed ledger technology provide a shared, immutable record of transactions for network participants, potentially improving transparency, regulatory reporting, and oversight.
  • Economic benefits. Automation and streamlined processes may reduce operational, transactional and infrastructure costs.
  • Process efficiency. Blockchain technology enables near-instant settlement, real-time auditability, and fewer intermediaries, cutting down on errors, delays and counterparty risks.
  • New products and markets. Blockchain technology supports fractionalized ownership and tokenized economies, offering secure and scalable alternatives to traditional finance.
  • Programmable features. Smart contracts are programmable and can be designed to enforce governance principles, compliance requirements, data privacy protections and system incentives. They also can facilitate customer identification (e.g., KYC/AML protocols) compliance by enforcing access controls and transaction restrictions.
  • Scalability. Blockchain technology supports interoperability across public and private networks which expands global transaction reach and resilience.

The laws and regulatory frameworks for digital assets and blockchain technology are expanding in scope and complexity, accompanied by increased scrutiny of digital asset activities. This includes litigation and regulatory actions, a rise in cybersecurity incidents with asset loss, and insolvency proceedings often related to inadequate risk management, speculative practices or fraud. In addition, the Trump administration and Congress may propose new laws and regulations related to digital assets. Recent legislative developments, including the enactment of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (the “GENIUS Act”), represent a significant step toward establishing a more comprehensive federal regulatory framework for certain digital assets, particularly stablecoins. While the GENIUS Act is intended to provide greater regulatory clarity and consumer protections, its implementation will require further rulemaking and interpretation by regulatory authorities, and additional legislation or regulatory guidance may be proposed by Congress, regulatory agencies or future administrations.

As a financial innovator bridging traditional and blockchain-enabled finance, we embrace what we refer to as “responsible DeFi” for our digital asset offerings, aligning with regulatory principles in this dynamic space. We are committed to providing trusted, innovative products and services through proactive engagement and collaboration with regulators.

Global competition in the digital assets industry is intensifying, with players ranging from established financial incumbents to early-stage financial technology providers. Varying regulatory and compliance standards across jurisdictions may impact a company’s competitive positioning. We aim to excel in the digital assets space by offering innovative products, delivering strong after-fee performance, embracing regulation, forming strategic partnerships, promoting thought leadership and building brand recognition. Our focus remains on delivering the best structures and execution through digital assets and blockchain technology, supported by our experienced team.

Our Competitive Strengths

  • Well-positioned in growing markets. We believe ETPs are poised to grow at a faster rate than the broader asset management industry, providing a competitive advantage relative to legacy mutual fund providers. We also expect that our early entry into digital assets will strengthen our position as an innovator and leader in blockchain-enabled financial services. The WisdomTree Treasury Money Market Digital Fund has accumulated $733.3 million of AUM through December 31, 2025, demonstrating early traction for regulated, blockchain-enabled cash management solutions and underscoring the broader opportunity for tokenized real world asset exposures, such as fixed income and equities, as the market continues to evolve. Furthermore, our acquisition of Ceres, a leading U.S.-based alternative asset manager specializing in farmland investments, represents our entry into private asset markets through exposure to what we believe is one of the largest and most underpenetrated real asset classes in the U.S.
  • Experienced and innovative leadership. Our seasoned global team brings deep expertise across ETPs, fund operations, regulatory compliance, marketing and product development. We are also enhancing our capabilities in private assets following the Ceres Acquisition, which brings recognized expertise in U.S. farmland investments, which we believe is one of the largest and most underpenetrated real asset classes in the U.S. Together with our expanded digital assets team which develops investment products, indexes and blockchain-enabled solutions, our leadership is positioned to drive innovation across ETPs, private assets, digital assets and decentralized finance. We believe our team has consistently capitalized on market opportunities, building a competitive, diversified global business despite significant competitive, regulatory and operational challenges.
  • Strong performance. We create our own indexes, most of which weight companies in our equity ETFs by a measure of fundamental value and are rebalanced annually, in contrast to traditional market capitalization weighted indexes. We also offer actively managed ETFs and ETFs that track third-party indexes. In evaluating the performance of our U.S. listed equity, fixed income and alternative ETFs against actively managed and index based mutual funds and ETFs, over 74% of our U.S. listed AUM covered by Morningstar were in the top two quartiles of peer performance on the 15-year timeframe and over 68% of our U.S. listed AUM covered by Morningstar were in the top two quartiles of peer performance on the 5-year timeframe. In addition, approximately 40% were rated 4- or 5-star by Morningstar.

As part of our expansion into private assets, Ceres manages approximately $1.9 billion in farmland-based strategies that have generated a 10.3% annualized net return since inception.

  • Differentiated product set, powered by innovation and performance. Our product suite spans traditional and high growth asset classes including equity, fixed income, commodity, leveraged-and-inverse, currency, alternative strategies and cryptocurrency, and now private assets through the Ceres Acquisition, which adds a farmland-based investment capability. We also are pioneering next-generation digital offerings, such as Digital Funds and tokenized assets. Key advances include:
  • WisdomTree Connect: This platform offers businesses and institutional users direct access to our Digital Funds using their own self-hosted wallet or a third-party custodial wallet service. In the future, we believe that the WisdomTree Connect platform will also enable additional distribution capabilities through potential business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) opportunities;
  • WisdomTree Prime Mobile App: Our blockchain-native digital wallet serves as a direct-to-consumer channel, positioning us as an early mover and industry leader in blockchain-enabled financial services. The frequent release of new features and product updates enhance the application’s product offering;
  • Real World Asset Tokenization: We offer tokenized physical assets like gold and U.S. dollars, as well as a suite of 15 Digital Funds offering asset allocation, fixed income and equity exposures using a blockchain integrated recordkeeping system on seven networks including Stellar, Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Optimism and Plume;
  • Farmland and Private Assets: Our expansion into private assets through the Ceres Acquisition provides exposure to U.S. farmland strategies that have historically exhibited strong returns with comparatively low volatility, negative correlation with broader asset classes and positive correlation with inflation. This capability adds a differentiated real asset component to our platform; and
  • First-to-Market ETF Offerings: We have been the first to introduce groundbreaking ETFs, including the first currency-hedged international equity ETFs in the U.S., the first gold and oil ETPs in Europe and the first smart beta corporate bond suite. Other market firsts include the first ETF to add bitcoin futures exposure, multifactor ETFs with dynamic currency hedging as a factor, a 90/60 balanced ETF, the emerging markets small-cap equity ETF and the first ETF focused specifically on European defense companies.

Our product development strategy utilizes our Modern Alpha approach, which combines the outperformance potential of active management with the cost-effective benefits of passive management, delivering products optimized for performance. Self-indexing is a core part of this strategy, providing competitive advantages such as reduced third-party index licensing fees for higher profitability, effective market positioning and research content, speed to market, and a unique value proposition in our proprietary WisdomTree indexes. This distinctive approach allows us to lead with innovative products that are built to perform.

  • Extensive marketing, research and sales efforts. We have made substantial investments to build the WisdomTree brand and promote our products through targeted online, television and social media advertising, as well as through public relations. Approximately 40% of our team is dedicated to marketing, research and sales. Our sales professionals serve as the primary contacts for financial advisors, independent advisory firms and institutional investors in our ETPs, supported by value-added insights from our research and marketing teams. By aligning advisor relationships with marketing and targeted research and products that resonate with market sentiment, we believe we stand out from competitors.
  • Efficient business model with lower risk profile. Our investments in digital tools, data and core capabilities in product development, marketing, research and sales support an efficient business model. We outsource to third parties those services that are not our core competencies or may be resource or risk intensive, such as portfolio management and fund accounting operations of our products. Additionally, our licensing costs are moderated since we create our own indexes for most of our ETFs, further enhancing operational efficiency.

Our Growth Strategies

With $144.5 billion in AUM as of December 31, 2025, WisdomTree is a global financial innovator, offering a diverse suite of ETPs, model portfolios and solutions, private market investments and digital asset-related products and services. Our strategic growth initiatives seek to scale our core offerings, expand market reach and enhance client engagement, focusing on four key areas:

  • Scaling AUM and Diversifying Revenue Streams: We seek to strengthen our leadership position in the asset management industry by expanding our product lineup and deepening advisor engagement. Our strategic priorities include growing our advisor base and increasing product adoption per advisor through continued innovation and first-to-market strategies that combine active and passive management in a cost-effective manner. We also plan to expand our offerings to address investor needs while broadening our revenue base beyond the traditional expense ratios to enhance our financial durability. Our strategic minority investment in, and multi-year collaboration with, Quorus Inc., or Quorus, a technology-driven asset manager and registered investment adviser with platform capabilities for delivering customizable tax-efficient portfolio solutions, supports this effort by enabling certain of our investment strategies to be implemented in separately managed accounts, or SMAs, via the Quorus platform, and our model portfolios to be made available there, with integrated trading and rebalancing, providing advisors with additional customization options and implementation flexibility. In addition, the Ceres Acquisition increased our revenue capture and introduced a private asset offering with differentiated economics. We aim to build on this momentum by further deepening client engagement, expanding our solutions and being an early mover in tokenization.
  • Leadership in Digital Assets and Tokenization: We are pioneering the next evolution of finance through tokenization, driven by a nascent secular shift towards tokenized assets that we believe is reshaping the financial industry. WisdomTree Connect provides institutional clients with direct access to our Digital Funds through self-hosted or third-party custodial wallets, while WisdomTree Prime, a blockchain-native digital wallet, offers direct-to-consumer access to bitcoin, ether, tokenized gold, U.S. dollar tokens and 15 Digital Funds. At December 31, 2025, the WisdomTree Treasury Money Market Digital Fund, our tokenized money market fund, had $733.3 million of AUM, as compared to $12.0 million at the beginning of the year. This growth highlights market receptivity to regulated, blockchain-native cash solutions and points to the broader opportunity to extend tokenization to additional real world asset categories such as fixed income and equities. With regulatory approvals expanding and market adoption accelerating, we believe that we are well-positioned to capitalize on the transformative potential of tokenized assets.
  • Strengthening Model Portfolios and Advisor Solutions: Our ability to deliver strong model performance and asset growth enables us to navigate rigorous selection processes at some of the leading wealth management firms in the U.S. Through our Portfolio Solutions program, we are pursuing registered investment advisors and independent broker-dealers offering customization services with the goal of managing a majority of each firm’s assets. We aim to increase the number of advisors utilizing our model portfolios, expand the number of accounts per advisor and grow assets per account. Our Portfolio Solutions program offers financial advisors with scalable frameworks for model portfolio delivery through three key offerings:
  • Portfolio Consultations: For advisor-built portfolios, we offer personalized, in-depth evaluations of model portfolios, including analyses of portfolio composition, stress testing and assessments of holdings and overlaps, to enhance performance and risk management.
  • Chief Investment Office (CIO)-Managed Model Portfolios: For outsourced portfolios, financial advisors can gain access to our CIO-Managed Model Portfolios, which cater to a wide array of client investment goals. Advisors can implement these models directly, via model marketplaces or on third-party platforms.
  • Shared CIO: Advisors collaborate with our models investment team to co-manage portfolios for their clients, with options for advisors to delegate trading, rebalancing and tax optimization tasks leveraging third-party service providers or platforms, providing flexibility and strategic alignment.

Our model portfolios are accessible across a number of platforms including Merrill Lynch, LPL Financial, UBS, Charles Schwab, Envestnet, Adhesion and others. Assets Under Advisement, or AUA, stands at $6.1 billion at December 31, 2025, up approximately 60% from the prior year, reflecting steady progress as we build deeper relationships, improve asset retention and create more stable, higher-quality revenue streams with significant growth potential.

  • Strategic Innovation and Capital Deployment: Innovation has always been a cornerstone of our success. We are integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into certain aspects of our daily workflows to drive scalability and efficiency, while continuing to assess its broader applications over time. Additionally, we continue to take a proactive approach to capital deployment. We have repurchased over $165 million of our common stock over the past two years. Looking ahead, we will continue to evaluate additional stock buybacks, as well as additional strategic acquisitions and partnerships that align with our long-term vision.

We believe our disciplined execution and our growth strategies position us for continued success in 2026 and beyond. By expanding our revenue streams, leading in blockchain-enabled financial services, deepening advisor relationships, leveraging technology and effectively deploying capital, we are driving sustainable growth and creating long-term value for stockholders.

Human Capital Resources

We operate in the highly competitive asset management industry, where attracting, retaining and motivating skilled employees across operations, product development, research, technology, sales and marketing is critical to our success. Our ability to recruit and retain talent depends on our culture, career development opportunities and competitive compensation and benefits. We foster a sense of community and purpose, encouraging an inclusive workplace where every voice is heard.

Employee Profile

As of December 31, 2025, we had 360 full-time employees globally, with 236 in the U.S. and 124 in Europe. We consider our relations with employees to be good.

Inclusion and Engagement

We believe engaging employees fosters innovation and drives commitment and productivity. We communicate frequently and transparently with our employees, including through an annual global virtual offsite, frequent town halls and weekly firmwide updates. Feedback is gathered individually and through surveys and employees are encouraged to participate in volunteer and charitable events. In 2025, our “Team Alpha” Awards celebrated key achievements and recognized exemplary teamwork for the sixth consecutive year.

We recognize that a diverse set of perspectives is critical to innovation and have built an inclusive global workforce. We prioritize fairness and equality through inclusive policies and practices. Our global, employee-led Community and Connection Collective (C3) oversees initiatives like accessibility training, empowerment workshops, inclusive feedback training and financial literacy programs. C3 also promotes awareness days and months across the firm in recognition of Black history, women’s history, pride, mental health and men’s health, among others.

Our global employee-led Women’s Initiative Network (WIN) supports career and leadership development through global events, seminars, roundtable forums, charitable giving initiatives, and a mentorship program that connects WIN members of all genders with firm leaders to help them achieve their career development goals. WIN initiatives have fostered firm-wide connectivity and increased internal and external visibility for female employees.

The success of our employee inclusion and engagement efforts is demonstrated by our 93.8% employee retention rate in 2025. We also achieved overall positive results from our 2025 global employee engagement survey, with a 99% participation rate. Additionally, in the U.S., we were named a “2025 Best Places to Work in Money Management” by Pensions & Investments for the sixth consecutive year and ranked first within the category for managers with 100-499 employees. In the U.K., we were also named Best Workplace for medium-sized companies for the sixth consecutive year and a 2025 Best Workplace for Women by Great Place to Work.

Wellness, Health and Safety

The wellbeing of our employees is a primary focus. We are continuously evolving and refining how we work best to achieve individual, team and Company goals. We embrace a “Work Smart” philosophy that transcends physical work settings, with a focus on optimizing productivity, efficiency and effectiveness of our work. Time in the office generally is not prescribed, and team leaders are empowered to determine how their teams work best, based on their roles, with employees remaining accountable for achieving individual, team and Company outcomes.

To foster employee wellbeing and a healthy work-life balance, we offer numerous wellness programs including yoga, meditation and mental health resources. Our U.S. employees also enjoy “wellness days,” which are additional scheduled office closures around major market holidays for employees to collectively disconnect and rejuvenate. Employees also receive stipends for remote work expenses and robust technology support.

In keeping with “Work Smart,” we maintain an office footprint globally that aligns with the number of employees expected to collaborate in person on any given day, while providing a space for employees to work and socialize. Our offices are located in buildings with robust security procedures, fire safety and sanitation and health practices.

Compliance, Training and Development

We are committed to complying with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and each employee is responsible for understanding and adhering to the standards and restrictions they impose. All new employees attend a compliance training session with a compliance officer during onboarding, and thereafter, employees are required to attend firmwide annual compliance training and to complete compliance certifications annually and in some instances, quarterly. We also conduct mandatory cybersecurity training and other training programs as required by law.

Employee development is prioritized with role-specific training, small group meetings with senior leaders, departmental webinars, continuing education support, leadership development courses and individual and team coaching. We also hold regular town halls to share business developments, employee news and job openings, as well as to provide opportunities for employees to hone their presentation skills by sharing department updates.

Compensation and Benefits

We are committed to attracting, retaining and rewarding our employees through a competitive compensation program that aligns employee and stockholder interests. Our incentive compensation program rewards both individual and Company performance, incorporating quantitative metrics and qualitative results that incentivize growth. We believe a key to our success is our entrepreneurial culture, where employees think and act like owners. Equity awards are an important component of our compensation strategy, reinforcing this ownership mindset and further aligning employee incentives with stockholder value. We also offer a wide array of benefits including generous healthcare coverage, paid vacation (unlimited in the U.S.), parental, sabbatical and sick leave, life and travel insurance, short- and long-term disability benefits, educational assistance and, in the U.S., a 401(k) plan with a matching contribution of up to 50% of eligible employee contributions.

Our Product Categories

U.S. Equity ETPs

We offer equity products that provide access to the securities of large, mid and small-cap companies located in the U.S., as well as particular market sectors and styles. Our U.S. Equity products generally track our own indexes and quantitative active strategies. Total AUM of our U.S. Equity products was $41.4 billion at December 31, 2025.

Commodity & Currency ETPs

We offer products in Europe with exposure to gold and other precious metals and commodities such as silver and platinum, oil and energy, agriculture and broad basket commodities. Our currency products provide investors with exposure to developed and emerging markets currencies, as well as exposures to foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Total AUM of our Commodity & Currency products was $37.0 billion at December 31, 2025.

International Developed Market Equity ETPs

Our International Developed Market Equity products offer a variety of strategies including currency-hedged and dynamic currency-hedged exposures, as well as large, mid and small-cap and multifactor strategies. In March 2025, we expanded this lineup with the launch of the WisdomTree Europe Defence UCITS ETF, which accumulated $3.9 billion of AUM by December 31, 2025. Total AUM of our International Developed Market Equity products was $25.6 billion at December 31, 2025.

Fixed Income ETPs

Our Fixed Income products seek to enhance income potential within the fixed income universe. We offer a suite of bond products based on either leading fixed income benchmarks we license from third parties or active strategies. We also launched the industry’s first smart beta corporate bond suite and first floating rate U.S. Treasury product. Other product offerings include those that seek to track a yield-enhanced index of U.S. investment grade bonds and international fixed income products which are denominated in either local or U.S. currencies. Total AUM of our Fixed Income products was $21.1 billion at December 31, 2025.

Emerging Market Equity ETPs

Our Emerging Market Equity products provide access to exposure of large, mid and small-cap companies located in Taiwan, China, India, Russia, South Africa, South Korea and other emerging markets regions. These products also track our own indexes or quantitative active strategies. Total AUM of our Emerging Market Equity products was $10.6 billion at December 31, 2025.

Leveraged & Inverse ETPs

We offer leveraged products which seek to achieve a return that is a multiple of the performance of the underlying index and inverse products that seek to deliver the opposite of the performance in the index or benchmark they track. Strategies span across equity, commodity, government bond and currency exposures. Total AUM of our Leveraged & Inverse products was $3.3 billion at December 31, 2025.

Cryptocurrency ETPs

Our cryptocurrency ETPs provide investors with a simple, secure and cost-efficient way to gain exposure to the price of cryptocurrencies, while utilizing the best of traditional financial infrastructure and product structuring. We offer exposures to bitcoin, ether, solana, crypto asset baskets and other cryptocurrency exposures. Total AUM of our cryptocurrency products was $2.2 billion at December 31, 2025.

Alternatives ETPs

Our Alternative products include the industry’s first managed futures strategy ETF, a collateralized put write strategy ETF, a global target range strategy ETF, and an alternative high income ETF focused on publicly traded alternative solutions to private credit. We also intend to explore additional alternative strategy products in the future. Total AUM of our Alternative products was $1.4 billion at December 31, 2025.

Private Assets

The Ceres Acquisition marked our entry in 2025 into private asset markets through exposure to what we believe is one of the largest and most underpenetrated real asset classes in the U.S. Ceres manages approximately $1.9 billion in farmland-based strategies that have generated a 10.3% annualized net return since inception.

Our Sales, Marketing and Research Efforts

Sales

We distribute our ETPs across major asset management channels, including banks, brokerage firms, registered investment advisers, institutional investors, private wealth managers, and online brokers. Our primary focus is on financial and investment advisers who act as intermediaries, rather than directly targeting retail clients. We do not pay commissions or offer 12b-1 fees to financial advisors for recommending our products.

Our Advisor and Portfolio Solutions programs support financial advisors and independent broker-dealers with customized portfolio and asset allocation services, research-driven and technology-enabled tools and strategic guidance to grow and scale their businesses. These solutions are designed to help financial advisors meet their clients’ needs efficiently while aligning with our investment strategies.

Senior and academic advisors, including Professor Jeremy Siegel, Senior Economist to WisdomTree, enhance our outreach by participating as keynote speakers at industry and company-hosted events. Our sales professionals provide consultative, value-added services to deepen relationships and expand our network of financial advisors.

As of December 31, 2025, our global sales team included 86 professionals. Additionally, we partner with third parties to market our products in Latin America and Israel. We work with select brokerage firms and independent broker-dealers to offer commission-free trading for certain ETPs in exchange for a share of advisory fee revenues. We believe these arrangements extend our distribution capabilities cost-effectively, and we continue to explore similar opportunities.

Marketing

Our marketing efforts are focused on the following objectives: increase our global brand awareness, leverage a robust data-driven digital sales experience to generate new clients and drive inflows to our products and model portfolios and retain existing clients, with a focus on cross-selling additional WisdomTree ETPs. We also anticipate launching marketing campaigns to drive awareness and user adoption for WisdomTree Prime and WisdomTree Connect and to position ourselves to become a leader in asset tokenization and blockchain-enabled funds. We pursue these objectives utilizing the following strategies:

  • Targeted advertising. We create highly targeted multi-media advertising campaigns limited to established core financial media. For example, our television advertising to promote our ETPs runs exclusively on the cable networks CNBC and Fox Business. It is anticipated that television advertising also will be utilized to promote WisdomTree Prime. Also, our digital advertising runs on many investing and ETF-specific web-sites, such as www.etftrends.com and www.etfdb.com, using targeted dynamic and personalized ad messaging. We also utilize non-linear TV advertising that leverages the same targeted segments of users who use streaming devices. In Europe, we filter the targeting of promotions by both region and language, focusing heavily on professional investors.
  • Media relations. We have a full-time global corporate communications and public relations team that has established relationships with major financial and digital assets media outlets. We utilize these relationships to help increase global awareness of WisdomTree ETPs, the ETP industry in general in the U.S. and Europe and our digital assets efforts. Several members of our management team and multiple members of our research team are frequent market commentators and conference panelists.
  • Database Messaging Strategy. We maintain a database of financial advisors and regularly market to them through multi-channel messaging (email, display, site) triggered by user interest and predictive analytics. These communications include research presentations, ETP-specific and educational events and market commentary from Professor Jeremy Siegel, Senior Economist to WisdomTree. For WisdomTree Prime, we also engage a retail user database with targeted messages across email, in-app notifications and push notifications based on user behavior or predictive analytics. Additionally, we share updates on product launches and provide financial education to our retail database through a monthly newsletter.
  • Social media. We have implemented a social media strategy that allows us to connect directly with financial advisors and investors by offering timely access to our research material and more general market commentary. Our social media strategy allows us to continually enhance our brand reputation of expertise and thought leadership in the ETP industry. For example, we have an established presence on LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Reddit and YouTube, and our blog content is syndicated across multiple business-oriented websites. We have several employee influencer programs where employee thought leaders are approved to post specific content on their LinkedIn and X accounts. We also leverage the strength and reach of our existing brand, in addition to utilizing a highly focused “test, learn, iterate” paid and social media marketing strategy, to drive awareness and user adoption for WisdomTree Prime.
  • Sales support. We develop a wide range of marketing and educational materials to support our ETP sales efforts, including white papers, research reports, webinars, blogs, podcasts, videos and product performance data. Our marketing automation systems integrate with our financial advisor database to provide additional insights that support sales engagement. We also maintain strategic partnerships with third-party platforms that distribute our research and thought leadership content to their established databases of financial professionals, helping to broaden our reach and generate qualified leads. In addition, we have agreements with third-party providers to assist with lead generation and content distribution.

We will continue to evolve our marketing and communication efforts in response to changes in the ETP industry, market conditions, marketing trends and our evolving strategy around digital assets.

Research and Chief Investment Office

Our research team and Chief Investment Office serve four core functions: product development and oversight, investment research, model portfolio management, and sales support across equities, fixed income, alternatives, crypto, and asset allocation portfolios. In its index and active product development and oversight role, the team designs investment methodologies and manages the maintenance of both index-based and active strategies. The team conducts in-depth investment research on these strategies and markets, while also managing a suite of model portfolios that integrate WisdomTree and third-party products for various platforms.

Our research is academic in nature and aims to support our products with white papers on the strategies underlying our indexes and ETPs, insights on market trends, and analyses of investment approaches that drive long-term performance. This content is distributed via our sales professionals, our website and blog, targeted emails to financial advisors, podcasts and through financial media and social media channels.

Additionally, the team supports sales efforts by serving as market experts during client meetings and providing custom analyses on portfolio holdings. We also collaborate with senior advisers, including Professor Jeremy Siegel, on product development ideas, model strategies and market commentaries.

Product Development

We are focused on driving continued growth through innovative product development, including through our Modern Alpha approach and our digital assets offerings. Modern Alpha combines the outperformance potential of active management with the benefits of passive management to offer investors cost-effective products that are built to perform.

Due to our proprietary index development capabilities and a strategic focus on product development, we have demonstrated an ability to launch innovative and differentiated ETPs. Building on our heritage of innovation, we are also developing next-generation digital products and structures, including Digital Funds and tokenized assets. When developing new products, we seek to position ourselves as first to market, offering improvement in structure or strategy relative to an incumbent product or offering some other key distinction relative to an incumbent product. In short, we want to add choice in the market and seek to introduce thoughtful investment solutions. Lastly, when launching new products, we seek to expand and diversify our overall product line.

Competition

The asset management industry is highly competitive, with significant competition across product offerings, fees, brand recognition and service quality. We face direct competition from other ETP sponsors and mutual fund companies, and indirect competition from larger financial institutions, including banks, insurance companies and diversified investment firms with broader distribution channels, resources and diversified revenue streams. Many of our larger competitors have extensive sales organizations and can attract clients through retail bank networks, broker-dealer networks and other channels not available to us.

ETPs now span nearly every asset class, from equities and fixed income to commodities and cryptocurrencies. As the market matures, existing and new players are introducing ETPs that often resemble our strategies. However, we believe that significant opportunities for innovation remain, particularly in cryptocurrency, thematic and alternative strategies. Our approach emphasizes being an early entrant in emerging asset classes, which can provide a significant advantage. For example, our early launches in asset classes such as fundamental weighting and currency hedging, and commodities (including gold), certain fixed income, and thematic categories, have positioned us to maintain our standing as one of the leaders of the ETP industry.

While competition in ETPs spans nearly all traditional and thematic categories, competition in private assets—particularly in farmland strategies—remains more limited. The Ceres Acquisition provides us with differentiated exposure to this market, where fewer scaled competitors operate and where the asset class has historically been underpenetrated. We believe this product offering enhances our ability to provide complementary investment solutions that are subject to a different competitive dynamic within the broader ETP landscape.

Price competition spans both commoditized products, such as traditional, market cap-weighted index exposures and more specialized categories, such as factor-based or thematic exposures. Fee reductions by competitors have been a persistent trend, with some larger firms able to offer lower fees or even use products as loss leaders due to other revenue sources. New entrants also often seek to compete by offering lower-fee ETPs. Currently, funds with fees of 20 basis points or less account for approximately 70% of net flows globally over the past three years, though these funds represent only approximately 32% of global revenues.

Being a first mover or one of the first providers of ETPs in a particular asset class can be a significant advantage, as the first ETP in a category to attract scale in AUM and trading liquidity is generally viewed as the most attractive product. We believe that our self-indexing model, along with our newer active ETFs, allows us to introduce proprietary products that face limited direct competition and are positioned to generate alpha versus traditional benchmarks. As investors grow more comfortable with ETP structures, we expect a stronger focus on after-fee performance rather than merely on low-cost market access. While we have selectively reduced fees on certain products that have yet to achieve scale—and may do so selectively in the future—our strategy focuses on launching new products in the same category with differentiated exposure at lower fees, rather than reducing fees on well-established products with substantial AUM, performance histories and liquidity. We generally consider our product pricing to be well-positioned within the competitive landscape.

Beyond traditional ETPs, we are diversifying into blockchain technology and digital assets. WisdomTree Connect offers businesses and institutional clients direct access to our Digital Funds through either self-hosted or third-party custodial wallets. These tokenized products are designed to be recorded or transferred on multiple public and permissioned blockchains, enabling interoperability and expanding client access. WisdomTree Prime, our blockchain-native digital wallet, provides direct-to-consumer access to digital assets such as bitcoin, ether, tokenized gold, U.S. dollar tokens and 15 Digital Funds. As one of the first firms to launch a spot bitcoin ETF in the U.S. and among the earliest to offer a regulated tokenized money market fund, we continue to establish our leadership in digital assets. With increasing competition from both established financial firms and fintech startups, we remain focused on “responsible DeFi,” ensuring that our products meet regulatory standards while delivering transparency, choice and inclusivity. We believe this expansion into digital assets complements our core competencies, diversifies our revenue streams and contributes to our long-term growth.

Our competitive success will largely depend on our ability to offer innovative products, including through both traditional ETPs and digital asset exposures, as well as broader blockchain-enabled financial services, including savings and payments. Key factors include maintaining strong internal controls and risk management infrastructure to foster customer trust, generating robust after-fee performance and track records, embracing regulatory standards and building distribution relationships. Additionally, we focus on promoting thought leadership and a distinctive solutions program, strengthening our brand, and attracting and retaining talented sales professionals and employees.

Regulatory Framework of the ETP Industry and Digital Assets Business

ETPs

Not all ETPs are ETFs. ETFs are a distinct type of security with features that are different than other ETPs. ETFs are open-end investment companies or unit investment trusts regulated in the U.S. by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. This regulatory structure is designed to provide investor protection within a pooled investment product. For example, the Investment Company Act requires that at least 40% of the Trustees for each ETF must not be affiliated persons of the fund’s investment manager, or Independent Trustees. If the ETF seeks to rely on certain rules under the Investment Company Act, a majority of the Trustees for that ETF must be Independent Trustees. ETFs generally operate under regulations that allow them to operate within the ETF structure, while ETFs also operate under regulations that prohibit affiliated transactions, are subject to standard pricing and valuation rules and have mandated compliance programs. ETPs can take a number of forms in addition to ETFs, including exchange-traded notes, grantor trusts or limited partnerships. In the U.S. market, a key factor differentiating ETFs, grantor trusts and limited partnerships from exchange-traded notes is that the former hold assets underlying the ETP. Exchange-traded notes, on the other hand, are debt instruments issued by the exchange-traded note sponsor. Also, each of these structures has implications for taxes, liquidity, tracking error and credit risk.

Digital Assets

As we continue to build out our digital assets business, we believe it is necessary and important to do so in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. As a result, we are actively engaged with a variety of U.S. federal and state regulators (e.g., the SEC, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) and other state regulators) to secure, as necessary, or maintain the appropriate regulatory, registration and/or licensing approvals for various business initiatives and operations, including but not limited to: a New York state-chartered limited purpose trust company; money services and money transmitter business; limited purpose broker-dealer; transfer agent; investment adviser; and investment funds. As we seek to expand globally, similar approvals and/or reliance on exemptions will be required in applicable foreign markets, which also may involve approvals specific to a digital assets or related business. As we secure the appropriate regulatory, registration and/or licensing approvals, or otherwise rely on, seek or confirm exemptions therefrom, in connection with our digital assets business, we are and will be subject to a myriad of complex and evolving global policy frameworks and associated regulatory requirements that we need to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, to ensure that our digital assets products and services are successfully brought to different markets in a compliant manner. We remain committed to being a trusted provider of innovative products and services guided by proactive engagement and regulatory collaboration.

U.S. Regulation

All aspects of our business are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are primarily intended to protect the end user, which may include retail and institutional customers, investment advisory clients and shareholders of registered investment companies. These laws generally grant supervisory agencies broad administrative powers, including the power to limit or restrict the conduct of our business and to impose fines, sanctions or other penalties for failure to comply with these laws and regulations. Further, such laws and regulations provide the basis for examination, inquiry, investigation, enforcement action and/or litigation which could materially affect our business.

We are primarily subject to the following laws and regulations, among others. The costs of complying with such laws and regulations have increased and will continue to contribute to the costs of doing business:

  • The Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Investment Advisers Act). The SEC is the federal agency generally responsible for administering the U.S. federal securities laws. WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc., or WTAM, WisdomTree Digital Management, Inc., or WT Digital Management, and Ceres, three of our subsidiaries, are registered as investment advisers under the Investment Advisers Act and, as such, are subject to regulation and oversight by the SEC. The Investment Advisers Act imposes a comprehensive regulatory framework on registered investment advisers including fiduciary duties and requirements relating to recordkeeping, operational procedures, and registration, reporting and disclosure obligations. As a result of the Ceres Acquisition, we have expanded into investment strategies, products and markets that are subject to regulatory regimes and supervisory expectations that apply to private fund advisers under the Investment Advisers Act, including with respect to disclosure obligations, valuation practices, conflicts of interest, liquidity management and investor protection.
  • The Investment Company Act of 1940 (Investment Company Act). All of our Digital Funds and U.S. listed ETFs are registered with the SEC pursuant to the Investment Company Act. These products must comply with the applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act and other regulations, such as those related to publicly offering and listing shares, as well as requirements of Rule 6c-11, or the ETF Rule, including, among others, requirements relating to operations, fees charged, sales, accounting, recordkeeping, disclosure, transparency and governance. In addition, the SEC continues to take an active approach in its rulemaking activity by finalizing and proposing new rules and/or rule amendments under the Investment Company Act that will impact current and future Digital Fund and ETF operations and/or investments. Ceres offers its investment products through private placements and relies on exemptions from registration under the Investment Company Act.
  • Broker-Dealer Regulations. WisdomTree Securities, Inc., or WT Securities, is a limited purpose broker-dealer (i.e., mutual fund retailer) registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA. WT Securities facilitates transactions in, and serves as the distributor for, the Digital Funds and is authorized to sell shares of registered funds, including the Digital Funds, from its own inventory as principal. This broker-dealer activity is conducted separately from other WisdomTree subsidiaries that act as Digital Fund and ETF sponsors in the U.S. and are not required to register as broker-dealers under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act. In addition, Ceres Securities, LLC, or Ceres Securities, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ceres, is a limited purpose broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA that operates as a placement agent for Ceres Farms, earning placement fees on sales of interests to investors it introduces, and is subject to SEC and FINRA regulation and oversight, including rules governing private placements, sales practices, disclosures, recordkeeping, supervision and compliance. Many of our employees, including all salespersons engaged in distribution activities, are licensed with FINRA and are registered as associated persons of WT Securities, Ceres Securities or the distributor of the WisdomTree Digital Funds and U.S. listed ETFs, as applicable, and, as such, are subject to FINRA rules that relate to licensing, continuing education and sales practices. FINRA rules also apply to our fund marketing and sales materials.
  • Federal Money Services Business and State Money Transmission Laws. WisdomTree Digital Movement, Inc. is a money services business registered with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, and a state licensed money transmitter operating a platform for the purchase, sale and exchange of digital assets, while also providing blockchain-enabled digital wallet services through WisdomTree Prime to facilitate such activity. Navigating state regulations across the U.S. provides compliance challenges and significant costs as regulations and expectations differ between states, with different states seeking to achieve different objectives with their regulations, from consumer protection to preventing money laundering. In addition, licensure requirements are quickly evolving (including regulators not permitting certain activities related to digital assets pursuant to such licenses), with the associated timeframes for licensure increasing and licensure being further complicated by recent market events and bankruptcies of firms in the digital assets space.
  • Internal Revenue Code. WisdomTree Trust, WisdomTree Digital Trust and the WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund each have their own respective requirements they must satisfy to qualify for pass-through tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code.
  • U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and National Futures Association (NFA). Regulations adopted by the CFTC have required WTAM to become a member of the NFA and register as a commodity pool operator for a select number of our ETFs.
  • Products Exchange Listing Requirements. Each WisdomTree U.S. listed ETF is listed on a secondary market (each, an Exchange), including NYSE Arca, the NASDAQ Market and the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc, and accordingly is subject to the listing requirements of these Exchanges. Any new WisdomTree U.S. listed ETF will seek listing on an Exchange and also will need to meet continued Exchange listing requirements, which generally align with requirements of the ETF Rule. However, the SEC or an Exchange may ultimately determine not to allow the issuance of potential new WisdomTree U.S. listed ETFs or may require strategy or operational modifications as part of the registration and/or listing process.
  • Corporate Exchange Listing Requirements. In addition, our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and we are therefore also subject to its rules including corporate governance listing standards, as well as federal and state securities laws.
  • FINRA Rules. FINRA rules and guidance may affect how WisdomTree U.S. listed ETFs are sold by member firms. We currently do not offer so-called leveraged ETFs in the U.S., which may include within their holdings derivative instruments such as options, futures or swaps to obtain leveraged exposures. FINRA guidance, the recently effective SEC Rule 18f-4, or the Derivatives Rule, and/or other future rules or regulations may influence how member firms effect sales of certain WisdomTree U.S. listed ETFs, such as our currency ETFs, or how such ETFs operate, which also use some forms of derivatives, including forward currency contracts and swaps, our international hedged equity ETFs, which use currency forwards, and our rising rates bond ETFs and alternative strategy ETFs, which use futures or options.
  • Section 17A of the Exchange Act. WisdomTree Transfers, Inc., or WT Transfers, is a transfer agent registered with the SEC. As a transfer agent, WT Transfers provides transfer agency and registrar services for the Digital Funds offered through WisdomTree Prime. WT Transfers’ transfer agency and registrar services are subject to Section 17A of the Exchange Act and applicable rules promulgated thereunder.

International Regulation

Our operations outside the U.S. are subject to the laws and regulations of various non-U.S. jurisdictions and non-U.S. regulatory agencies and bodies. As we have expanded our international presence, a number of our subsidiaries and international operations have become subject to regulatory systems, in various jurisdictions, comparable to those covering our operations in the U.S. Regulators in these non-U.S. jurisdictions may have broad authority with respect to the regulation of financial services including, among other things, the authority to grant or cancel required licenses or registrations.

Jersey-Domiciled Issuers (Managed by WisdomTree Management Jersey Limited)

One of our subsidiaries, WisdomTree Management Jersey Limited, or ManJer, is a Jersey based management company providing investment and other management services to several Jersey-domiciled issuers, or ManJer Issuers, of exchange-traded commodities, or ETCs, each of which was established as a special purpose vehicle to issue exchange-traded securities. All ETCs are listed and marketed across the European Union, or EU, under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 (as amended), or the Prospectus Regulation. Since January 4, 2021, the Central Bank of Ireland, or Central Bank, approves all ETC Base Prospectuses (with the exception of WisdomTree Issuer X Limited’s prospectus which is approved by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority) as meeting the requirements imposed under EU law pursuant to the Prospectus Regulation. Such approval relates only to those securities to be admitted to trading on a regulated market for the purpose of Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (recast) – Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and the Council, or MiFID II, and/or which are to be offered to the public in any European Economic Area, or EEA, Member State. All ETC prospectuses have been approved by the Financial Conduct Authority, or FCA, as U.K. Listing Authority, as competent authority pursuant to the U.K. version of Regulation (EU) No 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and the Council of 14 June 2017 on the form and content of such prospectuses and since January 2026 are approved in accordance with the rules in Prospectus Rules: Admission to Trading on a Regulated Market sourcebook made pursuant to the FCA’s rule-making powers under the Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024. Each prospectus (except WisdomTree Issuer X Limited’s prospectus) is prepared, and a copy is sent to the Jersey Financial Services Commission, or JFSC, in accordance with the Collective Investment Funds (Certified Funds – Prospectuses) (Jersey) Order 2012. Each ManJer Issuer (other than WisdomTree Issuer X Limited) has obtained a certificate under the Collective Investment Funds (Jersey) Law 1988 (as amended), to enable it to undertake its functions in relation to its ETCs. At the request of the relevant ManJer Issuer, the Central Bank has notified the approval of the Base Prospectus in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation to other EU listing authorities, including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain and Sweden, by providing them with certificates of approval attesting that the Base Prospectus has been prepared in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation. Each issuer may request the Central Bank to provide competent authorities in other EEA Member States with such certificates for the purposes of making a public offer in such Member States and/or for admission to trading of all or any securities on a regulated market. WisdomTree Issuer X Limited’s program for the issuance of WisdomTree digital securities does not constitute a collective investment fund for the purpose of the Collective Investment Funds (Jersey) Law 1988 (as amended) as it satisfies the requirements of Article 2 of the Collective Investments Funds (Restriction of Scope) (Jersey) Order 2000. A copy of WisdomTree Issuer X Limited’s prospectus has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in Jersey in accordance with Article 5 of the Companies (General Provisions) (Jersey) Order 2002, and the Registrar has consented to its circulation. The JFSC has consented under Article 4 of the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order 1958 to the issue of the WisdomTree digital securities by WisdomTree Issuer X Limited. The prospectus of WisdomTree Issuer X Limited is also recognized by the Swiss Prospectus Office.

The ManJer Issuers are primarily subject to the following legislation and regulatory requirements:

  • The Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. Each ManJer Issuer is incorporated as a public limited liability company under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. Therefore, the ManJer Issuers are required to comply with various obligations under this law including, but not limited to, convening general meetings, keeping proper books and records and filing financial statements.
  • The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, a U.S. federal law that was passed as part of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act, generally requires that foreign financial institutions and certain other non-financial foreign entities report on the foreign assets held by their U.S. account holders or be subject to withholding on withholdable payments. The HIRE Act also contained legislation requiring U.S. persons to report, depending on the value, their foreign financial accounts and foreign assets. ETCs benefit from the so called “listing exemption” and Jersey local authorities have determined that for companies which can benefit from such exemption the filing of a nil report is optional.
  • The Common Reporting Standards, or CRS, were developed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and is a global reporting standard for the automatic exchange of information. The ManJer Issuers need to conduct FATCA style due diligence and annual local reporting in relation to financial accounts held directly and indirectly by residents of those jurisdictions with which the Foreign Financial Institutions (FFIs) jurisdiction of residence has signed an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) to implement the CRS. Unlike FATCA, there is no clear listing exemption available under the CRS so the ManJer Issuers are required to conduct full due diligence to identify such accounts and report on them on an annual basis to their local tax authorities, at least in respect of the certificated interests and primary market issuances. However, Jersey tax authorities have applied less onerous reporting obligations to interests such as ETCs that are regularly traded on an established securities market and are held through CREST, the U.K. based central securities depository.
  • The Collective Investment Funds (Jersey) Law 1988. Each ManJer Issuer (other than WisdomTree Issuer X Limited) is a collective investment fund and therefore required to comply with the obligations under the Collective Investment Funds (Jersey) Law 1988 and the Code of Practice for Certified Funds.
  • The Prospectus Regulation. The Base Prospectus of each ManJer Issuer has been drafted, and any offer of ETCs in any EEA Member State that has implemented the Prospectus Regulation is made in compliance with the Prospectus Regulation and any relevant implementing measure in such Member States.
  • Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2012 on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories, known as the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (“EMIR”). EMIR, which became effective on August 16, 2012, provides for certain over-the-counter, or OTC, derivative contracts to be submitted to central clearing and imposes margin posting and other risk mitigation techniques, reporting and record keeping requirements. The clearing obligations under EMIR are still under discussion, and currently there are no mandatory clearing obligations in relation to equity, FX or commodity derivatives. The clearing obligation only applies to EU-based financial counterparties (defined as those authorized under MiFID, CRR, AIFMD, UCITS or insurance regulations) or those non-financial entities that have a rolling three-month notional exposure above a certain amount (between €1 and €3 billion, depending on asset class), which means that the ManJer Issuers are not directly subject to these obligations, but could indirectly be subject to them by virtue of their interaction with EU-based financial counterparties. In terms of reporting obligations, being non-EU entities, the ManJer Issuers are only indirectly subject to such obligations when they interact with their EU-based financial counterparties. Each ManJer Issuer has adhered to the 2013 EMIR Portfolio Reconciliation, Dispute Resolution and Disclosure Protocol published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
  • Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on market abuse (the “Regulation”) and Directive 2014/57/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on criminal sanctions for market abuse (the “Directive” and, together with the Regulation, “MAD”). Obligations imposed on the relevant ManJer Issuer and distributor under MAD, which became effective on July 3, 2016, include the requirement to publish inside information in a public and timely manner, to prepare and maintain a list of insiders and to refrain from market manipulation.
  • Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts or to measure the performance of investment funds and amending Directives 2008/48/EC and 2014/17/EU and Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (“BMR”). Supervised EU entities which issue financial instruments that reference a benchmark are required to comply with applicable obligations as set out under the BMR. The BMR was published on June 30, 2016 and the majority of the provisions became effective on January 1, 2018. The ManJer Issuers are non-EU entities and as a result, BMR application is very limited, although in some circumstances a few residual obligations could be deemed to be applicable because the ETCs are marketed across Europe.
  • Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 November 2014 on key information documents for packaged retail and insurance-based investment products (“PRIIPS”). PRIIPs became effective on January 1, 2018 and applies to investment product manufacturers and distributors. Under PRIIPs, manufacturers need to provide a key information document (KIDs) to investors. The intention of KIDs is to improve transparency for investors on the products and enhance investor protection. The product manufacturer is responsible for drafting the KID and for its content. All ETCs are currently subject to PRIIPs and KIDs have been produced since January 1, 2018.
  • MiFID II. MiFID II covers a wide range of areas that affect the relevant issuer and distributor, such as product governance, a definition of complex products which captures all physical and synthetic ETCs and the production of a European MiFID template, or an EMT, to facilitate the dissemination of relevant information to the markets and distributors in relation to each financial product.
  • Regulation (EU) 2015/2365 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on transparency of securities financing transactions and of reuse and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. (“SFTR”). Counterparties to securities financing transactions must report the transaction to trade repositories. The SFTR introduces a reporting requirement for transactions, and a disclosure requirement to investors with a requirement for prior consent. It also designates that financial instruments used for re-hypothecation are transferred to an account in the name of the other counterparty. Since the ManJer Issuers are based in non-EU jurisdictions, obligations are only indirectly applicable to them, but a certain level of interaction with EU counterparties is required to comply with some of these requirements.

WisdomTree Issuer X Limited is also primarily subject to the following legislation and regulatory requirements:

  • The Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order 1958. WisdomTree Issuer X Limited is required to comply with the obligations under the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order 1958 in respect of its issue of the WisdomTree digital securities.
  • The Companies (General Provisions) (Jersey) Order 2002. WisdomTree Issuer X Limited is required to comply with the obligations under the Companies (General Provisions) (Jersey) Order 2002 in respect of its circulation of the WisdomTree digital securities prospectus.

Irish-Domiciled Issuer of UCITS ETFs (Managed by WisdomTree Management Limited)

The investment management industry in Ireland is subject to both Irish domestic law and EU law. The Central Bank of Ireland, or the Central Bank, is responsible for the authorization and supervision of collective investment schemes, or CIS, in Ireland. CIS’s are also commonly known as funds/schemes. There are two main categories of funds authorized by the Central Bank, Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) and funds that are not UCITS known as alternative investment funds. ETFs form part of the Irish and European regulatory frameworks that govern UCITS, with ETFs having been the subject of specific consideration at the European level which is then repeated and/or interpreted by Irish regulators and the Central Bank in regulations and related guidance issued by the Central Bank.

One of our subsidiaries, WisdomTree Management Limited, is an Ireland based management company authorized in Ireland providing collective portfolio management services to WisdomTree Issuer ICAV, or WTICAV, and WisdomTree UCITS ETFs. The WisdomTree UCITS ETFs, or Sub-Funds, are issued by WTICAV. WTICAV, a non-consolidated third party, is an Irish-collective-asset-management vehicle, or ICAV, organized in Ireland and is authorized as a UCITS by the Central Bank. All UCITS have their basis in EU legislation and once authorized in one EEA Member State, may be marketed throughout the EU, without further authorization. This is described as an EU passport. WisdomTree Management Limited registered with the FCA as an Authorised Schedule 5 – operator of a temporary recognized scheme, and under the Temporary Marketing Permissions Regime, the WisdomTree UCITS ETFs continue to be available to U.K. investors. In accordance with the Financial Services Act 2021, the Temporary Marketing Permissions Regime is in the process of being replaced by the U.K.’s Overseas Funds Regime (“OFR”), requiring all WisdomTree UCITS ETFs to be transitioned to the new OFR by the end of 2026.

WTICAV is established and operated as an ICAV with segregated liability between its Sub-Funds. The Sub-Funds are segregated portfolios, each with their own investment objective and policies and assets. Each Sub-Fund has a separate approval from the Central Bank, and each is structured as an ETF. Each Sub-Fund tracks a different index. The index must comply with regulatory criteria that govern, among others, the eligibility and diversification of its constituents, and the availability of information on the index such as the frequency of calculation of the index, the index’s transparency, its methodology and frequency of calculation. Each Sub-Fund has shares admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange and, typically, on various European stock exchanges, and accordingly, is subject to the listing requirements of those exchanges.

WTICAV is primarily subject to the following legislation and regulatory requirements:

  • European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities, or UCITS) Regulations 2011 (as amended) (“UCITS Regulations”). The UCITS Regulations, which transpose Council Directive 2009/65/EC (the “UCITS Directive”), Commission Directive 2010/43/EC and Commission Directive 2010/44/EC into Irish law, became effective on July 1, 2011. UCITS established in Ireland are authorized under the UCITS Regulations. The UCITS Directive will be updated by AIFMD 2.0 (Directive (EU) 2024/927) to make changes to introduce the use of liquidity management tools by UCITS. These changes will be implemented in Ireland by way of a set of UCITS Regulations to be adopted by April 16, 2026.
  • Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1)) (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2019 and the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1)) (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) (Amendment) Regulations 2023 (“Central Bank UCITS Regulations”). The Central Bank UCITS Regulations were adopted in May 2019 and, together with the UCITS Regulations, any guidance produced by the Central Bank, and the Central Bank forms, form the basis for all the requirements that the Central Bank imposes on UCITS, UCITS management companies and depositaries of UCITS.
  • Central Bank (Individual Accountability Framework) Act 2023 (“IAF Act”). The IAF Act is comprised of three key elements: the Senior Executive Accountability Regime (SEAR), the Conduct Standards and the enhancements to the Central Bank’s Fitness and Probity (F&P) Regime. The most relevant elements from WTICAV’s perspective are the Conduct Standards and the updates to the F&P Regime. The Common Conduct Standards apply to all persons carrying out Controlled Functions (CFs) in regulated firms. Additional Conduct Standards apply to Pre-Approval Controlled Functions (PCFs) and any other person carrying out a role which exercises significant influence on a firm’s affairs. The Conduct Standards outline the Central Bank’s expectations in terms of the conduct of individuals carrying out CF and PCF roles and have applied since December 29, 2023. The Central Bank published its Guidance on the IAF Act in April 2024 and this includes guidelines on the Conduct Standards. The enhancements to the F&P Regime include the requirement for firms to proactively certify that individuals carrying out CF and PCF roles comply with the Central Bank’s standards of F&P. The Certification Regulations have applied since January 8, 2024. The Central Bank published its final and consolidated Fitness and Probity Standards in November 2025.
  • Central Bank Guidance. The Central Bank also has produced guidance that provides direction on issues relating to the funds industry, certain of which set forth conditions not contained in the UCITS Regulations or the Central Bank Regulations with which UCITS must conform. The Central Bank also publishes and regularly updates a “Q&A” document on its website. The Q&A is not intended to be a tool to assess compliance with regulatory requirements but rather it sets out questions and answers in relation to common UCITS-related queries.
  • The Irish Collective Asset-Management Vehicle Act 2015 (as amended) (“ICAV Act”). WTICAV is registered as an ICAV under the ICAV Act. Therefore, WTICAV is required to comply with various obligations under the ICAV Act such as, but not limited to, keeping proper books and records. The segregation of liability between Sub-funds means there cannot be, as a matter of Irish law, cross-contamination of liability between Sub-funds. Therefore, the insolvency of one Sub-fund cannot affect another Sub-fund.
  • EMIR. EMIR provides for OTC derivative contracts to be submitted to central clearing and imposes, inter alia, margin posting and other risk mitigation techniques, reporting and record keeping requirements. WTICAV uses OTC derivatives instruments to hedge the currency risk of some of its sub-funds, which are subject to EMIR. WTICAV has adhered to the 2013 EMIR Portfolio Reconciliation, Dispute Resolution and Disclosure Protocol published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. The Central Bank has been designated as the competent authority for EMIR.
  • BMR. The BMR is directly applicable law across the EU and applies to certain “administrators,” “contributors” and “users” of benchmarks with the aim of reducing the risk of benchmark manipulation and promoting confidence in their integrity and that of the financial markets which they support. Since WTICAV issues financial instruments that reference a benchmark, it will be required to comply with applicable obligations as set out under the BMR. In addition, non-EU administrators of benchmarks are required to satisfy a number of requirements to enable the benchmarks they provide to be used in the EU. To ensure investor protection, the BMR provides equivalence, recognition and endorsement conditions under which third country benchmarks may be used by supervised entities in the EU. Since we control the provision of benchmarks, we are required to comply with applicable obligations within the timeframes set out under the BMR. Regulation (EU) 2025/914 will apply with effect from January 1, 2026. Fund management companies and corporate funds which use benchmarks that are considered “critical” or “significant” under the new legislation, EU Paris-aligned benchmarks, EU Climate Transition benchmarks and certain commodity benchmarks will be in-scope.
  • Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 November 2014 on key information documents for packaged retail and insurance-based investment products (“PRIIPS”). As above, WisdomTree’s ETCs have been subject to PRIIPS since January 1, 2018. On January 1, 2023, PRIIPS also began to apply to UCITS. WTICAV has been producing and publishing these KIDs for share classes of the Sub-funds of the ICAV since January 1, 2023.
  • Regulation on Disclosures (EU/2019/2088) (“SFDR”) and the EU Taxonomy Regulation (2020/852) (“EU Taxonomy”). SFDR requires WisdomTree Management Limited, as a UCITS management company, to disclose in a consistent and harmonized manner how environmental, social and governance, or ESG, factors are adopted in its decision-making process. SFDR also requires certain pre-contractual and periodic disclosure requirements for in scope WTICAV Sub-funds, such as UCITS financial products. Level 1 of SFDR requirements applied from March 1, 2021 and Level 2 of the SFDR requirements applied from January 1, 2023. The EU Taxonomy Regulation amends the disclosure requirements in place under SFDR. The EU Taxonomy disclosures for the economically sustainable objectives of climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation were applicable from January 1, 2022, while the requirement for disclosures for the remaining objectives applied from January 1, 2023. The WTICAV Prospectus, as well as supplements and product pages of the WTICAV Sub-funds in scope of SFDR and EU Taxonomy, have been updated to reflect the respective regulatory requirements.
  • SFDR 2.0. The European Commission published its proposal to revise the SFDR on November 20, 2025. It is expected that if the proposal is adopted, the legislation will take effect in late 2028 or 2029. The proposal seeks to remove the current categorization regime and introduce new sustainability-related financial product labels. It is expected that the European Commission will publish Level 2 measures for prospectus disclosures and periodic report disclosures for sustainability-related financial products.
  • Regulation (EU) 2019/1156 on the cross-border distribution framework (“CBDF”). The CBDF amended the UCITS Directive to increase the harmonization of cross-border marketing between both (a) the UCITS regime and (b) different practices adopted by EU member states and came into effect on August 2, 2021. The CBDF eliminated the need for WTICAV to have local paying agents within EU member states the Sub-funds passported into, but introduced rules around marketing communications, pre-marketing notifications and the discontinuation of marketing.
  • Regulatory technical standards on settlement discipline (“CSDR”). CSDR introduced measures to prevent settlement failures, with settlement failures resulting in penalty charges applied by the Central Securities Depositaries to failing parties. Since most WTICAV sub-funds employ physical replication using equities and bonds, trades in these equities that take place within the EU come into scope of CSDR. This regulation came into force on February 1, 2022.

Irish-Domiciled Issuer (Managed by WisdomTree Multi Asset Management Limited)

One of our subsidiaries, WisdomTree Multi Asset Management Limited, is a Jersey based management company providing investment and other management services to WisdomTree Multi Asset Issuer PLC, or WMAI, in respect of the ETPs issued by WMAI. WisdomTree Multi Asset Management Limited operates under the Schedule 2 businesses (Schedule 2 of the Proceeds of Crime (Jersey) Law 1999), must adhere to Jersey AML/CFT/CPF regulations, and is supervised for compliance by the JFSC. WMAI, a non-consolidated third party, is a public limited company incorporated in the laws of Ireland. It was established as a special purpose vehicle for the purposes of issuing collateralized exchange-traded securities, or ETP Securities, under the Collateralized ETP Securities Programme described in its Base Prospectus. WMAI is a ‘qualifying company’ within the meaning of section 110 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 (as amended), of Ireland. WMAI is not authorized or regulated by the Central Bank by virtue of issuing ETPs.

The Central Bank, as competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation, has approved the Base Prospectus as meeting the requirements imposed under Irish and EU law pursuant to the Prospectus Regulation. Such approval relates only to ETP Securities which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated market for the purpose of MiFID II and/or which are to be offered to the public in any EEA Member State. The Base Prospectus has also been approved by the FCA, acting as the competent authority under the U.K. version of Regulation (EU) No 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and the Council of June 14, 2017 on the form and content of prospectuses, which repealed Directive 2003/71/EC and forms part of U.K. law pursuant to the U.K. Prospectus Regulation. From January 2026, such approval will instead be granted in accordance with the Prospectus Rules: Admission to Trading on a Regulated Market sourcebook, made under the FCA’s rule-making powers in the Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024.

At the request of WMAI, the Central Bank has notified the approval of the Base Prospectus in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation to the Commissione Nazionale per le Societá e la Borsa (the Italian financial supervisory authority), the Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority), the Financial Market Authority of Austria, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the financial regulator in Luxembourg), the Finanstilsynet (the Norwegian financial supervisory authority), the Autorité des Services et Marchés Financiers (the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority), the Finanstilsynet (the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority), the Finanssivalvonta (the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority), the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (the French Authority for the Financial Markets), the Autoriteit Financiële Markten (the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets), the Komisja Nadzoru Finansowego (the Polish Financial Supervisory Authority), the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (the Securities Market Commission in Spain) and Finansinspektionen (the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority) by providing them, inter alia, with certificates of approval attesting that the Base Prospectus has been prepared in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation. WMAI may request the Central Bank to provide competent authorities in other EEA Member States with such certificates whether for the purposes of making a public offer in such Member States or for admission to trading of all or any ETP Securities on a regulated market therein or both.

WMAI is primarily subject to the following legislation and regulatory requirements:

  • The Companies Act. WMAI is incorporated as a public limited liability company under the Companies Act. Therefore, WMAI is required to comply with various obligations under the Companies Act such as, but not limited to, convening general meetings, keeping proper books and records and filing financial statements.
  • The Prospectus Regulation. The Base Prospectus has been drafted, and any offer of ETP Securities in any EEA Member State that has implemented the Prospectus Regulation is made in compliance with the Prospectus Regulation and any relevant implementing measure in such Member States.
  • EMIR. WMAI hedges its payment obligations in respect of the ETP Securities by entering into swap transactions with swap providers, which are subject to EMIR. The Central Bank has been designated as the competent authority for EMIR and, to assess compliance with EMIR, requests that WMAI submits annually an EMIR Regulatory Return.
  • BMR. Since WMAI issues financial instruments that reference a benchmark, it also will be required to comply with applicable obligations within the timeframes set out under the BMR.
  • MAD. MAD has a direct effect in Ireland and strengthens the legal framework underpinning the function of detecting, sanctioning and deterring market abuse. Broadly, MAD applies to any financial instrument admitted to, or for which a request for admission has been made to, trading on a regulated market in at least one member state of the EU or in an EEA Member State. Obligations imposed on WMAI under MAD include the requirement to publish inside information in a public and timely manner, to draw up and maintain a list of insiders and to refrain from market manipulation.
  • CSDR. As above, CSDR introduced measures to prevent settlement failures, with settlement failures resulting in penalty charges applied by the Central Securities Depositaries to failing parties.

We have no unresolved comments from the SEC staff relating to our periodic or current reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

Under the oversight of our Board of Directors, we have implemented and maintain cybersecurity risk management policies and procedures that include processes for the identification, assessment and treatment through mitigation, transfer, avoidance and/or acceptance of cybersecurity risks.

Our cybersecurity risk management policies and procedures are informed by industry standards, and they are designed to address cybersecurity risks identified by external auditors and assessors, threat intelligence providers, internal stakeholders, vulnerability management programs and security management programs. Our team of information technology and cybersecurity professionals, led by our Chief Information Officer, or CIO, manages and maintains remediation strategies for identified cybersecurity risks and regularly reports on such risks to senior management, including our Governance Committee as described below.

Our cybersecurity risk management program is designed to be aligned with our business strategy. It shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply to other areas of enterprise risk, including legal, compliance, strategic, operational and financial risk. Key elements of our cybersecurity risk management program include:

  • periodic risk assessments designed to help identify cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services and our broader enterprise information technology environment;
  • a security and infrastructure team principally responsible for managing our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, our security controls and our response to cybersecurity incidents;
  • the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls;
  • employee training and awareness programs that include periodic and ongoing assessments in an effort to drive adoption and awareness of cybersecurity processes and controls;
  • a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and
  • processes to evaluate cybersecurity risks posed by critical third-party vendors, including through the use of security questionnaires.

Additionally, as a public company, we are subject to Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) requirements and must undergo independent audits of Information Technology General Controls (ITGC) in support of Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR). These audits assess key information security and cybersecurity risks in the environment that may affect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of financial reporting systems and data. If any control deficiencies that represent material cybersecurity risks were identified, those would be reported to the Audit Committee, and the results of these evaluations would be considered in the overall audit opinion for the Company.

Governance Related to Cybersecurity Risks

Our cybersecurity risk management program and related operations and processes are directed by our CIO. Currently, the CIO role is held by an individual who has been in the role for over ten years, has over 24 years of cybersecurity, information technology and systems engineering experience, and has advanced training in the field of technology.

The CIO is a member of our Governance Committee and regularly reports on cybersecurity risk management to other members of the Governance Committee comprised of the Company’s senior executive officers. The Governance Committee oversees the prioritization and escalation of risks from cybersecurity threats and is responsible for strategy, operations, financial management, information technology, compliance, legal, administration and corporate governance. The members of the Governance Committee collectively possess experience in these areas, including cybersecurity and risk management.

The Audit Committee oversees our management of cybersecurity risks. Pursuant to the Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for discussing cybersecurity-related risks with management and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such risks, including our risk assessment and risk management policies. The CIO regularly reports to the Audit Committee on our cybersecurity risks, and the chair of the Audit Committee reports on these discussions with the full Board of Directors. In addition, the CIO provides periodic reports to our Board of Directors.

While we have not, as of the date of this Report, experienced a cybersecurity incident that materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our Company, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition, there can be no guarantee that we will not experience such an incident in the future. For information regarding cybersecurity risks that may materially affect our Company, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in this Report.

Introduction

We are a global financial innovator, offering a diverse suite of ETPs, models and solutions, private market investments and digital asset-related products. Our offerings empower investors to shape their financial future and equip financial professionals to grow their businesses. Leveraging the latest financial infrastructure, we create products that emphasize access and transparency and provide an enhanced user experience.

Building on our heritage of innovation, we continue to broaden our capabilities beyond our core ETP business. We offer next-generation digital products and services related to tokenized real world assets and stablecoins, including Digital Funds, as well as our institutional platform, WisdomTree Connect, and blockchain-native digital wallet, WisdomTree Prime. We also have expanded into private assets through our acquisition of Ceres, a leading U.S.-based alternative asset manager specializing in farmland investments.

As of December 31, 2025, we managed approximately $144.5 billion in AUM. Our products span a broad range of strategies including equities, fixed income, commodities, leveraged-and-inverse, currency, alternatives and cryptocurrency exposures. We have launched many first-to-market products and pioneered a unique alternative-weighting approach called “Modern Alpha” that combines the outperformance potential of active management with the cost effective benefits of passive management.

Our products are distributed across all major asset management industry channels, including banks, brokerage firms, registered investment advisers, institutional investors, private wealth managers and online brokers, primarily through our dedicated sales team. We believe technology is transforming how financial advisors conduct business, and through our Advisor and Portfolio Solutions programs we offer technology-enabled and research-driven solutions. These include portfolio construction, asset allocation, practice management services and digital tools to help advisors address technology challenges and scale their businesses.

As pioneers in tokenization and blockchain technology, we view this as the next phase in the evolution in financial services. Through our digital assets strategy, we are committed to “responsible DeFi,” aligning with regulatory standards to foster growth in this rapidly evolving space. We believe that expanding into digital assets and blockchain-enabled financial services not only complements our core competencies, but will diversify our revenue streams and further contribute to our growth.

Executive Summary

Our business delivered strong progress in 2025 as we advanced our long-term strategic initiatives and further strengthened the foundation for durable growth. We ended the year with AUM of $144.5 billion at December 31, 2025, up 31.6% as compared to the prior year, driven by favorable market conditions and net inflows of $8.5 billion, representing annualized organic growth of approximately 8%. Revenues and operating income increased 15.4% and 26.9%, respectively, year over year, driving approximately 300 basis points of operating margin expansion, supported by higher average AUM, improved revenue capture and continued operating discipline. These results underscore the resilience of our business model and the benefits of our strategy to diversify revenue streams and enhance earnings quality.

A significant strategic milestone in 2025 was the Ceres Acquisition, which marked our entry into private assets and added exposure to U.S. farmland, which we believe to be one of the largest and most underpenetrated real asset classes. At December 31, 2025, we managed $1.9 billion in farmland-based strategies, an asset class with low correlation to traditional financial markets that enhances the diversification of our overall platform. This acquisition also increased our revenue capture and resulted in operating margin expansion of more than 200 basis points.

Our Portfolio Solutions business continued to gain traction. Assets under advisement in our models offering reached $6.1 billion, an increase of approximately 60% from the prior year, supported by deeper engagement across major wealth platforms and registered investment advisers. The program provides advisors with customized evaluations, a suite of model portfolios and Shared CIO services designed to support scalable, repeatable investment processes. In addition, our strategic minority investment in, and multi-year collaboration with, Quorus enables certain of our investment strategies to be implemented in SMAs via the Quorus platform, and our model portfolios to be made available there, with integrated trading and rebalancing, providing advisors with additional customization options and implementation flexibility, and expanding our reach within the wealth management ecosystem. Together, these initiatives contribute to more consistent and higher-quality revenue streams.

We also achieved notable growth in digital assets. Digital assets AUM increased to $0.8 billion as of December 31, 2025, driven primarily by the expansion of our tokenized money market offering, the WisdomTree Treasury Money Market Digital Fund. Early adoption of this product highlights the broader potential for tokenization across real world assets, including future applications in fixed income and equities. Institutional clients access our Digital Funds through WisdomTree Connect, while WisdomTree Prime provides direct-to-consumer access to digital assets, such as bitcoin, ether, tokenized gold, U.S. dollar tokens and 15 Digital Funds. Our continued focus on “responsible DeFi” ensures these offerings remain aligned with regulatory standards while positioning us at the forefront of blockchain-enabled financial innovation.

Our initiatives across ETPs, private assets, digital assets, models and SMAs are integral to our long-term growth strategy and are intended to drive sustained AUM growth, revenue diversification, improved revenue capture and stronger operating margins. We believe this strategic alignment positions us to continue delivering stockholder value and driving future performance.

Additional 2025 business highlights include the following:

  • We launched 25 new European listed ETPs and 12 new U.S. listed ETFs spanning all our major product categories. This includes the launch of the WisdomTree Europe Defence UCITS ETF which accumulated $3.9 billion of AUM by December 31, 2025.

Industry Developments

Asset Management – Consolidation

In the recent past, a number of acquisitions in the asset management industry have either been announced or completed. These trends have accelerated as fee compression, cost pressures and increased regulations have weighed on the industry, highlighting the importance of scale and operating efficiency to compete in today’s market. We have significant opportunities ahead in both ETPs and the Portfolio Solutions business and as an early mover in digital assets and blockchain-enabled financial services, which positions us well for success to grow in this competitive landscape.

Components of Operating Revenue

Advisory fees

A significant portion of our revenues is comprised of advisory fees we earn from our ETPs. These advisory fees are calculated based on a percentage of the ETPs’ average daily net assets. As of the date of this Report, our weighted average fee rates by product category are as follows:

Commodity & Currency:34bpsLeveraged & Inverse:81bps
International Developed Market Equity:47bpsFixed Income:17bps
U.S. Equity:29bpsAlternatives:39bps
Emerging Market Equity:60bpsCryptocurrency:28bps

We determine the appropriate advisory fee to charge for our ETPs based on the cost of operating each ETP considering the types of securities the ETPs will hold, fees third-party service providers will charge us for operating the ETPs and our competitors’ fees for similar ETPs. From time to time, we implement voluntary waivers of a portion of our advisory fee. In addition, we earn a fee based on daily aggregate AUM of our ETPs in exchange for bearing certain fund expenses.

Our advisory fee revenues may fluctuate based on general stock market trends, which include market value appreciation or depreciation, currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar, increased competition and level of inflows or outflows from our ETPs.

Management fees

Management fees are earned in exchange for Ceres providing investment advisory and other management services to Ceres Farms. Management fees are generally 1% of each member’s capital account balance as of the last day of each calendar quarter, if that balance exceeds $1 million (otherwise 2%). Management fees are subject to adjustment for any contractual waivers as well as contributions and redemptions arising in any particular quarter.

Performance fees

Performance fees represent variable consideration and are earned based on a specified percentage of Ceres Farms’ net profits, generally equal to 20%, subject to contractual fee waivers, high-water marks and loss recovery requirements. Performance fees are earned only after members have recovered prior losses and applicable thresholds have been met. Performance fee revenues are recognized when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur, which generally occurs upon the determination of fund profits that are no longer subject to clawback or reversal under the governing agreements.

Other revenues

Other revenues include rebates from swap providers to our European listed ETPs, creation/redemption fees earned on our European non-UCITS products and fees from licensing our indexes and index data to third parties.

Components of Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist primarily of costs related to selling, operating and marketing our ETPs as well as the infrastructure needed to run our business.

Compensation and benefits

Employee compensation and benefits expenses are expensed when incurred and include salaries, incentive compensation, and related benefit costs. To attract and retain qualified personnel, we must maintain competitive employee compensation and benefit plans and amounts we pay may be affected by inflation. Virtually all of our employees receive incentive compensation which is variable and will fluctuate taking into consideration our operating and financial results, as well as individual performance and discretion.

Also included in compensation and benefits are costs related to equity awards granted to our employees. Our executive management and Board of Directors strongly believe that equity awards are an important part of our employees’ overall compensation package and that incentivizing our employees with equity in the Company aligns the interests of our employees with that of our stockholders. We use the fair value method in recording compensation expense for equity-based awards. Under the fair value method, compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the vesting period.

Fund management and administration

Fund management and administration expenses are expensed when incurred and are comprised of the following costs we pay third-party service providers to operate our ETPs and Digital Funds:

  • portfolio management of our ETPs (sub-advisory);
  • fund accounting and administration;
  • custodial and storage services;
  • market making;
  • transfer agency;
  • accounting and tax services;
  • printing and mailing of shareholder materials;
  • index calculation;
  • indicative values;
  • distribution fees;
  • legal and compliance services;
  • exchange listing fees;
  • trustee fees and expenses;
  • preparation of regulatory reports and filings;
  • insurance;
  • certain local income taxes; and
  • other administrative services.

We are not responsible for extraordinary expenses, taxes and certain other expenses related to the funds.

We depend on a number of parties to provide critical administrative, custody and portfolio management services to our ETPs. The fees we pay our sub-advisers generally are the higher of the fixed minimums per fund, which range from $0 to $158 per year, or the percentage fee, which ranges between 0.01% and 0.20% per annum of average daily AUM at various breakpoint levels depending on the nature of the ETP. In addition, we pay certain costs based on transactions in our ETPs or based on inflow levels.

The fees we pay for accounting, tax, transfer agency, index calculation, indicative values and exchange listing are based on the number of products we have. The remaining fees are based on a combination of both AUM and number of funds, or as incurred.

Marketing and advertising

Marketing and advertising expenses are recorded when incurred and include the following:

  • advertising and product promotion campaigns that are initiated to promote our existing and new ETPs as well as brand awareness;
  • marketing campaigns to attract WisdomTree Connect and WisdomTree Prime users;
  • development and maintenance of our website; and
  • creation and preparation of marketing materials.

Our discretionary advertising comprises the largest portion of this expense. In addition, we may incur expenditures in certain periods to attract inflows, the benefit of which may or may not be recognized from increases to our AUM in future periods. However, due to the discretionary nature of some of these costs, they can generally be reduced if there were a decline in the markets.

Sales and business development

Sales and business development expenses are recorded when incurred and include the following:

  • travel and entertainment or conference related expenses for our sales force;
  • market data services for our research team;
  • sales related software tools;
  • voluntary payment of certain costs associated with the creation or redemption of ETP shares, as we may elect from time to time; and
  • legal and other advisory fees associated with the development of new funds or business initiatives.

Contractual gold payments

Contractual gold payments expense represented an obligation requiring us to pay 9,500 ounces of gold annually from the advisory fee income we earned for managing physically-backed gold ETPs. Our obligation to continue making these payments was terminated on May 10, 2023. See Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Professional fees

Professional fees are expensed when incurred and consist of fees we pay to corporate advisers including accountants, tax advisers, legal counsel, investment bankers, human resources or other consultants. Professional fees also include expenses we pay third-party service providers related to WisdomTree Prime and expenses incurred in response to an activist campaign. These expenses fluctuate based on our needs or requirements at the time. Certain of these costs are at our discretion and can fluctuate year to year.

Occupancy, communications and equipment

Occupancy, communications and equipment expense includes costs for our corporate headquarters in New York City as well as office related costs in our other locations.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense results from amortization of internally-developed software as well as depreciation on fixed assets, which are depreciated/amortized over three to five years.

Third-party distribution fees

Third-party distribution fees, which are expensed as incurred, include payments made to enable our products and models to be included on certain third-party platforms in exchange for commission-free trading or other preferential access. These expenses also include payments to our third-party marketing agents in Latin America and Israel.

Acquisition-related costs

We account for business combinations in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with acquisitions recorded using the acquisition method. Transaction costs associated with acquisitions are expensed as incurred.

Other

Other expenses consist primarily of insurance premiums, general office related expenses, securities license fees for our sales force, public company related expenses, corporate related travel and entertainment and Board of Director fees, including stock-based compensation related to equity awards granted to our directors.

Components of Other Income/(Expenses) of a Recurring Nature

Interest expense

We recognize interest expense using the effective interest method which includes the amortization of discounts, premiums and issuance costs.

Revaluation/termination of deferred consideration–gold payments

Deferred consideration arose in connection with our acquisition of the European exchange-traded commodity, currency and leveraged-and-inverse business of ETFS Capital Limited, and was remeasured each reporting period using forward-looking gold prices observed on the CMX exchange, a selected discount rate and perpetual growth rate. This obligation was terminated on May 10, 2023 for approximately $137.0 million. See Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Interest income

Interest income, which is recognized on an accrual basis, arises from investing our corporate cash into interest-bearing financial instruments.

Other gains/(losses), net

Included herein are gains and losses arising from our financial instruments owned and investments, the sale of gold earned from advisory fees paid by physically-backed gold ETPs, foreign exchange and other miscellaneous items. Also included are losses arising from the release of tax-related indemnification assets upon the expiration of the statute of limitations, for which an equal and offsetting benefit is recognized in income tax expense.

Income Taxes

Our income tax expense consists of taxes due to federal, various state and local and certain foreign authorities.

Expense Guidance for the Year Ending December 31, 2026

Compensation to Revenue Ratio

Our compensation to revenue ratio for the year ending December 31, 2026 is currently estimated to range from 26% to 28% and takes into consideration planned hires as well as year-end compensation adjustments and the annualization of hires made during 2025. The range also considers variability in incentive compensation with drivers including the magnitude of our flows, revenue and operating income growth, margin expansion and our stock price performance in relation to our peers.

Discretionary Spending

Discretionary spending includes marketing, sales, professional fees, occupancy and equipment, depreciation and amortization and other expenses. We currently estimate our discretionary spending for the year ending December 31, 2026 to range from $80.0 million to $86.0 million.

Not included in the guidance above is intangible asset amortization arising from the Ceres Acquisition of approximately $5.7 million.

Gross Margin

We define gross margin as total operating revenues less fund management and administration expenses. Gross margin percentage is calculated as gross margin divided by total operating revenues. For the year ending December 31, 2026, we currently estimate that our gross margin percentage will be 82.0% to 83.0% taking into consideration current AUM, revenue levels and anticipated fund launches. If AUM increases, we would anticipate further gross margin expansion.

Third-Party Distribution Expense

We currently estimate third-party distribution expense to be approximately $17.0 million to $19.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2026, which is dependent upon the AUM growth on our respective platforms.

Interest Expense

We currently estimate our interest expense for the year ending December 31, 2026 to be approximately $40.0 million, taking into consideration the retirement of our 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”).

Not included in the guidance above is approximately $0.9 million of interest cost we are required to impute under U.S. GAAP related to our interest-free financing of the shares of Series C Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) we repurchased from Gold Bullion Holdings (Jersey) Limited (“GBH”), a subsidiary of the World Gold Council, in November 2023.

Interest Income

We currently estimate our interest income for the year ending December 31, 2026 to be approximately $8.0 million, based upon the magnitude of our forecasted interest earning assets and interest rates. It is anticipated our interest earning assets will decline in the second half of the year following the retirement of our 2026 Notes.

Income Tax Expense

We currently estimate that our consolidated normalized effective tax rate will be approximately 24.0% for the year ending December 31, 2026, taking into consideration the current distribution of profits among our U.S. and European businesses.

This estimated rate may change and is dependent upon our actual taxable income earned in relation to our forecasts as well as any other items which may arise that are not currently forecasted. Such items may include, but are not limited to, increases or decreases in valuation allowances and any stock-based compensation windfalls or shortfalls. Additional corporate tax legislation could also impact our normalized effective tax rate.

Weighted Average Diluted Shares

We currently estimate our weighted average diluted shares to be between 152.0 million and 157.0 million during the year ending December 31, 2026. This guidance contemplates incremental shares associated with our Convertible Notes assuming a stock price approximating recent levels. While our Convertible Notes require principal to be paid in cash, our diluted shares would need to be increased for any incremental shares associated with an exercise of the conversion option if our stock price exceeds the applicable conversion price of our Convertible Notes of $11.04 per share for the 2026 Notes, $11.82 per share for the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and $19.15 per share for the 4.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”).

Factors that May Impact our Future Financial Results

Our AUM is well diversified across products covering equity, commodities, fixed income, leveraged-and-inverse, cryptocurrency, currency, alternatives and private assets. As a result, our operating results are particularly exposed to investor sentiment toward investing in these products’ strategies and our ability to maintain AUM of these products, as well as the performance of these products.

Our revenues are also highly correlated to the level and relative mix of our AUM, as well as the fee rate associated with our products. Changes in product mix have led to a decline in our average advisory fee, which for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 were 0.36%, 0.36% and 0.35%, respectively.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased 60.9% from $18.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 to $30.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 due to a higher level of debt outstanding, inclusive of the 2030 Notes issued in August 2025 to facilitate the Ceres Acquisition, partly offset by a lower average interest rate.

Our effective interest rate on our outstanding Convertible Notes during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025 was 4.5% and 4.1%, respectively.

Interest income

Interest income increased 61.8% from $6.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 to $11.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 due to a higher level of interest-earning assets, including from temporarily investing proceeds received from the issuance of the 2030 Notes prior to completing the Ceres Acquisition.

Remeasurement of contingent consideration

Contingent consideration related to the Ceres Acquisition increased from $11.1 million on October 1, 2025 to $11.8 million at December 31, 2025 resulting in a $0.7 million loss on remeasurement recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025. See Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Other gains, net

Other gains, net were $0.9 million and $2.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively. The current year includes net gains on our financial instruments owned of $1.9 million and $1.2 million of foreign currency remeasurement losses on U.S. dollars held by foreign subsidiaries. Gains and losses also generally arise from the sale of gold earned from advisory fees paid by our physically-backed gold ETPs, foreign exchange fluctuations and other miscellaneous items.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for 2025 was 23.3%, resulting in an income tax expense of $33.1 million. Our tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a non-deductible loss on extinguishment of convertible notes and state and local income taxes. These items were partly offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance on capital losses and a lower tax rate on foreign earnings.

Our effective income tax rate for 2024 was 30.1%, resulting in an income tax expense of $28.7 million. Our tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a non-deductible loss on extinguishment of convertible notes, a non-deductible civil money penalty of $4.0 million in connection with the SEC ESG Settlement and non-deductible executive compensation. These items were partly offset by a lower tax rate on foreign earnings.

Compensation and benefits

Compensation and benefits expense increased 10.7% from $109.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 to $121.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 due to higher stock-based compensation, incentive compensation and headcount. Headcount was 303 and 313 at December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Fund management and administration

Fund management and administration expense increased 17.7% from $71.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 to $84.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to higher average AUM. We had 76 U.S. listed ETFs and 261 European listed ETPs at December 31, 2023 compared to 78 U.S. listed ETFs and 275 European listed ETPs at December 31, 2024.

Marketing and advertising

Marketing and advertising expense increased 19.0% from $17.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 to $20.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily resulting from higher spending related to our U.S. listed and digital products.

Sales and business development

Sales and business development expense increased 9.1% from $13.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 to $14.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily resulting from increases in travel and events spending.

Contractual gold payments

There was no contractual gold payments expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024 due to the termination of our deferred consideration—gold payments obligation on May 10, 2023. See Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Professional fees

Professional fees increased 11.2% from $19.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 to $21.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 due to $4.3 million of legal and other related expenses incurred in connection with the SEC ESG Settlement that were covered by insurance, partly offset by lower expenses incurred in response to an activist campaign.

Occupancy, communications and equipment

Occupancy, communications and equipment expense increased 14.1% from $4.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 to $5.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 due to the increased cost of renewed office leases.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 100.9% from $0.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 to $1.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 due to higher amortization of software development costs.

Third-party distribution fees

Third-party distribution fees increased 18.8% from $9.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 to $11.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to growth in AUM across our various platforms, as well as new platform relationships that expanded our distribution reach.

Other

Other expenses increased 6.8% from $9.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 to $10.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to higher insurance and travel-related expenses.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased 24.1% from $15.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 to $18.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 due to a higher level of debt outstanding, partly offset by a lower average interest rate.

Our effective interest rate on our outstanding Convertible Notes during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 was 4.9% and 4.5%, respectively.

Gain on revaluation/termination of deferred consideration

No gains or losses on revaluation/termination of deferred consideration—gold payments were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024, as this obligation was terminated on May 10, 2023 for approximately $137.0 million. See Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Interest income

Interest income increased 65.4% from $4.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 to $6.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 due to a higher level of interest-bearing assets.

Impairments

No impairments were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024, while during the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $7.9 million primarily related to our investment in Securrency, Inc. upon the sale of Securrency, Inc. to an unrelated third party. (See Notes 7 and 26 to our Consolidated Financial Statements).

Other gains/(losses), net

Other gains/(losses), net were ($1.6) million and $0.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The year ended December 31, 2024 includes a $4.0 million civil money penalty in connection with the SEC ESG Settlement. Also included are net gains of $4.9 million and net losses of $1.1 million on our financial instruments owned and our investments, respectively. Gains and losses also generally arise from the sale of gold earned from advisory fees paid by our physically-backed gold ETPs, foreign exchange fluctuations and other miscellaneous items.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for 2024 was 30.1%, resulting in an income tax expense of $28.7 million. Our tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a non-deductible loss on extinguishment of convertible notes, a non-deductible civil money penalty of $4.0 million in connection with the SEC ESG Settlement and non-deductible executive compensation. These items were partly offset by a lower tax rate on foreign earnings.

Our effective income tax rate for 2023 was 13.8%, resulting in income tax expense of $16.5 million. The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a non-taxable gain on revaluation/termination of deferred consideration, a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits associated with the release of a tax-related indemnification asset and a lower tax rate on foreign earnings. These items were partly offset by a non-deductible loss on extinguishment of our 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 during the first quarter of 2023, an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance on losses recognized on our investments and non-deductible executive compensation.

Quarterly Results

The following tables set forth our unaudited consolidated quarterly statement of operations data, both in dollar amounts and as a percentage of total revenues, and our unaudited consolidated quarterly operating data for the quarters in 2025 and 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measurements

In an effort to provide additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP information which we believe provides useful and meaningful information. Our management reviews these non-GAAP financial measurements when evaluating our financial performance and results of operations; therefore, we believe it is useful to provide information with respect to these non-GAAP measurements so as to share this perspective of management. Non-GAAP measurements do not have any standardized meaning, do not replace nor are superior to GAAP financial measurements and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measurements should be considered in the context with our GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measurements contained in this Report include:

Adjusted Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share.

We disclose adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share as non-GAAP financial measurements in order to report our results exclusive of items that are non-recurring or not core to our operating business. We believe presenting these non-GAAP financial measurements provides investors with a consistent way to analyze our performance. These non-GAAP financial measurements exclude the following:

  • Gains or losses on financial instruments owned: We account for our financial instruments owned as trading securities, which requires these instruments to be measured at fair value with gains and losses reported in net income. We exclude these items when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as the gains and losses introduce earnings volatility and are not core to our operating business.
  • Foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses on U.S. dollars held by foreign subsidiaries: GAAP requires account balances to be remeasured into an entity’s functional currency, with resulting gains and losses reported in net income. Foreign subsidiaries holding U.S. dollars remeasure these balances into their functional currencies and recognize the gains and losses. Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, we began excluding remeasurement effects from our non-GAAP financial measures, as they introduce earnings volatility, are not core to our operations and arise from balances denominated in our reporting currency.
  • Tax windfalls and shortfalls upon vesting of stock-based compensation awards: GAAP requires the recognition of tax windfalls and shortfalls within income tax expense. These items arise upon the vesting of stock-based compensation awards and the magnitude is directly correlated to the number of awards vesting/exercised as well as the difference between the price of our stock on the date the award was granted and the date the award vested or was exercised. We exclude these items when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as they introduce earnings volatility and are not core to our operating business.
  • Amortization of intangible assets and remeasurement of contingent consideration arising from our acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC: On October 1, 2025, we completed the Ceres Acquisition for aggregate consideration consisting of (i) $275 million in cash payable at closing, subject to customary post-closing adjustments and (ii) contingent consideration of up to $225 million, payable in 2030, contingent upon Ceres achieving a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) in revenues of 12% to 22% during the measurement period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029. GAAP requires contingent consideration to be re-measured each reporting period with changes in fair value reported in net income. In addition, a portion of the consideration totaling $143.5 million was allocated to intangible assets, which is amortized over 25 years. We exclude changes in fair value of contingent consideration and amortization of intangible assets arising from the Ceres Acquisition when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as these items are not core to our operating business.
  • Other items: Losses on extinguishment of convertible notes, acquisition-related costs, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowance, imputed interest on our payable to GBH, gains and losses recognized on our investments, a civil money penalty in connection with the SEC ESG Settlement, expenses incurred in response to an activist campaign, gain on revaluation/termination of deferred consideration, impairments, remeasurement of contingent consideration payable to us from the sale of our former Canadian ETF business and litigation expenses associated with certain provisions of our Stockholder Rights Agreement, dated as of March 17, 2023, as amended, are excluded when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized an excise tax of $0.7 million on stock repurchases. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized a loss of $13.2 million (which includes an excise tax of $1.8 million) and a gain of $8.0 million, respectively, related to the repurchase of the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and the Series C Preferred Stock. These items are excluded from net income, but are required to be added to net income to arrive at income available to common stockholders in the calculation of earnings per share under U.S. GAAP.

Liquidity

We consider our available liquidity to be our liquid assets, less our current liabilities, seed capital in WisdomTree Digital Funds and regulatory capital requirements of certain of our subsidiaries. Liquid assets consist of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, financial instruments owned, at fair value, accounts receivable and securities held-to-maturity. Our financial instruments owned, at fair value are highly liquid investments. Accounts receivable are current assets and primarily represent receivables from advisory fees we earn from our ETPs. Our current liabilities consist primarily of payments owed to vendors and third parties in the normal course of business and accrued incentive compensation for employees.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash increased $130.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 due to $475.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Notes, $147.9 million of net cash provided by operating activities, $12.6 million of proceeds from the sale of financial instruments owned, at fair value and $5.6 million from other activities. These increases were partly offset by $270.3 million paid for the Ceres Acquisition, $102.7 million used to repurchase our common stock, $39.3 million used to repurchase our 2028 Notes, $32 million used to purchase financial instruments owned, at fair value, $20.1 million used to purchase investments, $17.3 million used to pay dividends, $14.8 million paid to GBH, $11.1 million used to pay convertible notes issuance costs and $3.0 million used to pay for software development.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash increased $51.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 due to $345.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Notes, $113.5 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $48.1 million of proceeds from the sale of financial instruments owned, at fair value. These increases were partially offset by $143.8 million used to repurchase the Series A Preferred Stock, $132.7 million to repurchase a portion of our 2028 Notes, $69.4 million used to purchase financial instruments owned, at fair value, $62.9 million used to repurchase our common stock, $19.0 million used to pay dividends, $14.8 million paid to GBH, $7.7 million used to pay convertible notes issuance costs, $2.3 million used to pay for software development and $2.1 million used in other activities.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased $2.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 due to $184.3 million used to repurchase and settle our 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023, $57.4 million used to purchase financial instruments owned, at fair value, $50.0 million used to terminate our deferred consideration—gold payments obligation, $40.0 million used to repurchase our Series C Preferred Stock, $20.1 million used to pay dividends on our common stock, $11.2 million used to purchase investments, $3.6 million used to repurchase our common stock, $3.5 million used to pay issuance costs in respect of our 2028 Notes, $2.1 million used for software development and $1.2 million used in other activities. These decreases were partly offset by $130.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of our 2028 Notes, $123.6 million of proceeds from the sale of financial instruments owned, at fair value, $85.6 million of net cash provided by operating activities, $28.8 million of proceeds from the exit from our investment in Securrency, Inc. in connection with the sale of Securrency, Inc. to an unaffiliated third party, $1.5 million from receipt of contingent consideration related to the sale of our Canadian ETF business, and $1.1 million from other activities.

Convertible Notes

We have the following convertible notes outstanding as of December 31, 2025:

  • $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes;
  • $345.0 million in aggregate principal amount the 2029 Notes; and
  • $475.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes.

Each class of notes was issued pursuant to indentures dated as of the issuance dates between us and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (either initially or as successor to U.S. Bank National Association, the “Trustee”), in private offerings to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes, we repurchased $24.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2028 Notes. As a result of this repurchase, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of $13.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. Additionally, on November 25, 2025, we redeemed the remaining $1.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of $0.8 million.

As of December 31, 2025, we had an aggregate principal amount of $970.0 million outstanding of the 2026 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2030 Notes (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”).

  • Cash settlement of principal amount: Upon conversion, we will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be converted. At our election, we will also settle the conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted in either cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock.
  • Redemption price: We may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at our option, on or after August 20, 2027, August 20, 2026 and June 20, 2023 in respect of the 2030 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2026 Notes, respectively, and on or prior to the 45th scheduled trading day with respect to the 2030 Notes and the 55th scheduled trading day with respect to the 2029 Notes and the 2026 Notes immediately preceding the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the respective Convertible Notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days, including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the redemption date.

  • Limited investor put rights: Holders of the Convertible Notes have the right to require us to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, upon the occurrence of certain change of control transactions or liquidation, dissolution or common stock delisting events.

  • Seniority and Security: The Convertible Notes rank equal in right of payment and are our senior unsecured obligations.

Capital Resources

Our principal source of financing is our operating cash flow. We believe that current cash flows generated by our operating activities and existing cash balances should be sufficient for us to fund our operations for the foreseeable future.

Our ability to satisfy our contractual obligations as they arise are discussed in the section titled “Contractual Obligations” below.

Use of Capital

Our business does not require us to maintain a significant cash position. However, certain of our subsidiaries are required to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital, which at December 31, 2025 was approximately $38.9 million in the aggregate. Notwithstanding these regulatory capital requirements, we expect that our main uses of cash will be to fund the ongoing operations of our business. We also maintain a capital return program which includes a $0.03 per share quarterly cash dividend and authority to purchase our common stock through April 27, 2028, including purchases to offset future equity grants made under our equity plans and purchases made in open market or privately negotiated transactions.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased 8,096,862 shares of our common stock under the repurchase program for an aggregate cost of $102.7 million. Currently, $250.0 million remains under this program for future purchases. In addition, on August 13, 2024, we repurchased all of our then-outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, which was convertible into 14,750,000 shares of our common stock, from ETFS Capital for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $143.8 million.

Contractual Obligations

Convertible Notes

We currently have $970.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding, of which $150.0 million, $345.0 million and $475 million are scheduled to mature on June 15, 2026, August 15, 2029 and August 15, 2030, in respect of the 2026 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2030 Notes, respectively, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. Conditional conversions or a requirement to repurchase the Convertible Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change may accelerate payment.

The Convertible Notes require cash settlement of up to the principal amount, while settlement of the conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount may be satisfied in either cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. We may settle and/or refinance these obligations when due.

See the section titled “Issuance of Convertible Notes” above for additional information.

Contingent Consideration

Pursuant to the Ceres Purchase Agreement, up to $225.0 million of additional consideration is payable in 2030, contingent upon Ceres achieving a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) in revenue of 12% to 22% during the earnout measurement period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029, as follows:

  • If the revenue CAGR for the earnout period is equal to or less than 12%, then the aggregate amount of the earnout consideration will be $0;
  • If the revenue CAGR for the earnout period is greater than 12% but less than 22%, then the aggregate amount of the earnout consideration will be pro-rated using straight-line interpolation between $0 and $225.0 million; and
  • If the revenue CAGR for the earnout period is equal to or greater than 22%, then the aggregate amount of the earnout consideration will be $225.0 million.

We have determined that the earnout should be classified as contingent consideration as (i) continuing employment is not a condition for payment (except as described below), (ii) non-employee sellers are entitled to similar payments based upon their relative ownership percentages and (iii) the payment formula described above is tied to the valuation of the acquired business. Under ASC 805, contingent consideration must be recognized at the acquisition date as part of the consideration transferred for the acquired business.

In connection with the Ceres Acquisition, the sellers established a retention bonus plan for certain Ceres employees pursuant to which the greater of $3.05 million or 10% of any earnout consideration in excess of $50.0 million will be forfeited by the sellers and paid to participating employees, contingent upon continued employment through earnout payment date. Any amounts forfeited due to employee attrition revert to the sellers. This compensation will be recognized over the service period with an equal and offsetting receivable from the sellers.

Deferred Consideration–Gold Payments

On May 10, 2023, we entered into and closed on a Sale, Purchase and Assignment Deed to terminate our obligations relating to the contractual gold payments. Pursuant to that agreement, we paid consideration totaling $136.9 million, including an aggregate of $50.0 million in cash and the issuance of 13,087 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (valued at $86.9 million, based on the closing price of our common stock on May 9, 2023 of $6.64 per share), which was convertible into 13,087,000 shares of our common stock. The Series C Preferred Stock was subsequently repurchased on November 20, 2023 as described in “Payable to GBH” below. See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

On November 20, 2023, we repurchased our Series C Preferred Stock from GBH for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $84.4 million. Under the terms of the transaction, we have paid GBH $69.6 million to date, with the remainder of the purchase price payable on the third anniversary of the closing date. The implied price per share was $6.02 when considering the interest-free financing element of the transaction.

Operating Leases

Total future minimum lease payments with respect to our operating lease liabilities were $3.3 million at December 31, 2025. Cash flows generated by our operating activities and existing cash balances should be sufficient to satisfy the future minimum lease payments. See Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet financing or other arrangements and have neither created nor are party to any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating our business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Business Combinations

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, which requires an allocation of the consideration paid by us to the identifiable assets, intangible assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition. Contingent consideration obligations that are elements of consideration transferred are recognized at the acquisition date as part of the fair value transferred in exchange for the acquired business and are remeasured to fair value each reporting period. The excess of the fair value of purchase price over the fair values of the identifiable assets, intangible assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. We test goodwill for impairment at least annually and at the time of a triggering event requiring re-evaluation, if one were to occur. Goodwill is considered impaired when the estimated fair value of the reporting unit that was allocated the goodwill is less than its carrying value. If the estimated fair value of such reporting unit is less than its carrying value, goodwill impairment is recognized based on that difference, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a component of an operating segment provided that the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and management regularly reviews the operating results of that component.

We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and have determined that we have a single reporting unit, consistent with our single operating segment. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually on November 30th. When performing our goodwill impairment test, we consider a qualitative assessment, when appropriate, and the market approach and our market capitalization when determining the fair value of the reporting unit. The results of our most recent analysis indicated no impairment based upon a quantitative assessment.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired if their estimated fair value is less than their carrying value. We may rely on a qualitative assessment when performing our intangible asset impairment test. Otherwise, the impairment evaluation is performed at the lowest level of reasonably identifiable cash flows independent of other assets. The annual impairment testing date for our intangible assets is November 30th. The results of our most recent analysis identified no indicators of impairment to be recognized based upon a quantitative assessment (discounted cash flow analysis) which relied upon significant unobservable inputs including projected revenue growth rates of 3.0% and a weighted average cost of capital of 10.3%.

Investments

We account for equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value under the measurement alternative prescribed within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 321, Investments – Equity Securities, to the extent such investments are not subject to consolidation or the equity method. Under the measurement alternative, these financial instruments are carried at cost, less any impairment (assessed quarterly), plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. In addition, income is recognized when dividends are received only to the extent they are distributed from net accumulated earnings of the investee. Otherwise, such distributions are considered returns of investment and are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the investment. See Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for information.

Investments in debt instruments are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in other income/(expenses).

Revenue Recognition

We earn a significant portion of our revenues in the form of advisory fees from our ETPs and recognize this revenue over time, as the performance obligation is satisfied. Advisory fees are based on a percentage of the ETPs’ average daily net assets. Progress is measured using the practical expedient under the output method resulting in the recognition of revenue in the amount for which we have a right to invoice.

We earn management fees in exchange for Ceres providing investment advisory and other management services to Ceres Farms. Management fees are generally calculated as a stated percentage of members’ capital account balances as of the last day of each calendar quarter, subject to adjustment for any contractual waivers as well as contributions and redemptions arising in any particular quarter. Management fees are recognized as revenue over time, as the performance obligation is satisfied.

We earn performance fees based on a specified percentage of Ceres Farms’ net profits, subject to contractual fee waivers, high-water marks and loss recovery requirements. Performance fees are earned only after members have recovered prior losses and applicable thresholds have been met. Performance fee revenues are recognized when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur, which generally occurs upon the determination of fund profits that are no longer subject to clawback or reversal under the governing agreements.

Other revenues are earned from swap providers associated with certain of our European listed ETPs, the nature of which are based on a percentage of the ETPs’ average daily net assets. We also earn transaction-based income on flows associated with certain European listed ETPs. There is no significant judgment in calculating amounts due, which are invoiced monthly or quarterly in arrears and are not subject to any potential reversal. Progress is measured using the practical expedient under the output method resulting in the recognition of revenue in the amount for which we have a right to invoice.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following information, together with information included in other parts of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, describes key aspects of our market risk.

Market Risk

Market risk to us generally represents the risk of changes in the value of our products that results from fluctuations in securities or commodity prices, the value of underlying real assets (including farmland), foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, and interest rates. Nearly all our revenues are derived from advisory agreements for the WisdomTree ETPs and other managed investment vehicles, including those acquired through the Ceres Acquisition. Under these agreements, the advisory fee we receive is based on the average market value of the assets in the WisdomTree ETP portfolios we manage and, in the case of other managed investment vehicles, on investors’ capital account balances, which are influenced by the value of the underlying farmland assets.

Fluctuations in the value of the ETPs are common and are generated by numerous factors such as market volatility, the global economy, inflation, changes in investor strategies and sentiment, availability of alternative investment vehicles, domestic and foreign government regulations, emerging markets developments and others. With respect to farmland-focused investment products, changes in farmland values may be driven by factors such as agricultural commodity prices, farm income, interest rates, inflation expectations, land supply and demand dynamics, climate and weather conditions, and government agricultural and environmental policies. Accordingly, changes in any one or a combination of these factors may reduce the value of investment securities or real assets and, in turn, the underlying AUM or investors’ capital account balances on which our revenues are earned. These declines may cause investors to withdraw funds from our products in favor of investments that they perceive as offering greater opportunity or lower risk, thereby compounding the impact on our revenues. We believe challenging and volatile market conditions will continue to be present in the foreseeable future.

Interest Rate Risk

We invest our corporate cash in short-term interest earning assets, primarily in federal agency debt instruments, WisdomTree fixed income ETFs, U.S. treasuries, corporate bonds, money market instruments at a commercial bank and other financial instruments which totaled $134.0 million and $268.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, we recognized losses on these financial instruments of $4.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and any losses recognized in the future may be material to our operating results. We do not anticipate that changes in interest rates will have a material impact on our financial condition or cash flows.

In addition, our Convertible Notes bear interest at fixed rates of 3.25% for the 2026 Notes and the 2029 Notes and 4.625% for the 2030 Notes, respectively. Therefore, we have no direct financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates. However, the fair value of the Convertible Notes changes primarily when the market price of our common stock fluctuates or interest rates change.

Exchange Rate Risk

We are subject to currency translation exposure on the results of our non-U.S. operations, primarily in the U.K. and Europe. Foreign currency translation risk is the risk that exchange rate gains or losses arise from translating foreign entities’ statements of earnings and balance sheets from functional currency to our reporting currency (the U.S. dollar) for consolidation purposes. The advisory fees earned on our European listed ETPs are predominantly in U.S. dollars (and also paid in gold ounces, as described below); however, expenses for corporate overhead are generally incurred in British pounds. Currently, we do not enter into derivative financial instruments aimed at offsetting certain exposures in the statement of operations or the balance sheet but may seek to do so in the future.

Exchange rate risk associated with the euro is not considered to be significant.

Commodity and Cryptocurrency Price Risk

Fluctuations in the prices of commodities and cryptocurrencies that are linked to certain of our ETPs could have a material adverse effect on our AUM and revenues. In addition, a portion of the advisory fee revenues we receive on our ETPs backed by gold, other precious metals and cryptocurrencies are paid in the underlying metal or cryptocurrency. While we readily sell the gold, precious metals and cryptocurrencies that we earn under these advisory contracts, we still may maintain a position. We currently do not enter into arrangements to hedge against fluctuations in the price of these commodities and cryptocurrencies and any hedging we may undertake in the future may not be cost-effective or sufficient to hedge against this exposure.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2025, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules, regulations and forms of the SEC, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated by and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. See “Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting” below for a discussion regarding the Ceres Acquisition, which was completed on October 1, 2025 (See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements).

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Notwithstanding the Ceres Acquisition, during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (the COSO criteria). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In accordance with guidance issued by the SEC, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their final assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the first fiscal year in which the acquisition occurred. Management’s evaluation of internal control over financial reporting excluded the internal control activities of Ceres, which the Company acquired on October 1, 2025, as discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has included the financial results of this acquisition in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. As of the date of this Report, we are in the process of completing the integration of the Ceres Acquisition into our overall internal control over financial reporting, and have deferred our assessment of the internal control over financial reporting related to the Ceres Acquisition, which for the year ended December 31, 2025 constituted 1.2% and 0.6% of total assets and net assets, respectively, at December 31, 2025, and 2.4% and 5.0% of revenues and net income, respectively, for the year then ended.

Based on the assessment, management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of WisdomTree, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of WisdomTree, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 25, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

ETFS Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets – Assessment of Carrying Value

Description of the Matter At December 31, 2025, the Company held indefinite-lived intangible assets related to the right to manage assets under management through customary advisory agreements, which have no expiration date, in connection with the ETFS acquisition, with an aggregate carrying value of $601,247,000. As described in Notes 2 and 23 to the consolidated financial statements, these assets were assessed for impairment based upon a quantitative test. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired if their estimated fair values are less than their carrying values. The Company determined the fair value of its ETFS intangible assets using an income approach (discounted cash flow analysis) with significant unobservable inputs that included the weighted average cost of capital. Auditing the Company’s quantitative impairment assessment for its ETFS indefinite-lived intangible assets was complex due to the significant unobservable inputs required in determining fair value. In particular, the fair value estimate of the ETFS indefinite-lived intangible assets was sensitive to the significant unobservable inputs described above which are affected by future economic and market conditions and thus require significant judgment.

F-2

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment process. This included controls around management’s review of the significant unobservable inputs described above and the completeness and accuracy of the inputs to the valuation model. To test the Company’s quantitative impairment assessment of ETFS indefinite-lived intangible assets, our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the Company’s selection of its fair value methodology, testing the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation model, evaluating the clerical accuracy of the valuation model and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by the Company to determine fair value. For example, we agreed certain inputs used to calculate the weighted average cost of capital to market data. We compared the projected revenue growth rates to the Company's historical results and to those of other guideline public companies in the same industry. In addition, we assessed the accuracy of the Company's historical projections by comparing them to actual operating results. We involved our valuation specialists to assist in our evaluation of the Company’s valuation model, the weighted average cost of capital used by the Company and the comparability of the guideline public companies selected by the Company and to calculate an independent estimate of the indefinite-lived intangible assets which we compared to the Company’s fair value estimate. Additionally, we performed sensitivity analyses of certain significant unobservable inputs described above to evaluate the changes in the fair value of ETFS indefinite-lived intangible assets that would result from reasonably expected changes in the significant assumptions.

Valuation of intangible asset related to the customary advisory agreement and the contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC

Description of the Matter As disclosed in Notes 1, 3, 11 and 23 to the consolidated financial statements, on October 1, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC (the “Ceres Acquisition”) for aggregate consideration of (i) $275,000,000 in cash subject to customary post-closing adjustments, and (ii) earnout consideration of up to $225,000,000 payable in 2030, contingent upon Ceres achieving a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) in revenue of 12% to 22% during the earnout measurement period. The transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. As part of acquisition accounting, the Company recognized $135,000,000 in intangible assets related to a customary advisory agreement and a $11,100,000 contingent consideration liability, which is remeasured at fair value each reporting period with changes recorded in earnings. Auditing the valuation of the customary advisory agreement intangible asset and the contingent consideration liability was complex and required the involvement of specialists because the fair value measurements were highly sensitive to forward looking assumptions which involve significant judgment, rely on unobservable inputs, and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. The customary advisory agreement was valued using the multi period excess earnings method, which relies upon significant unobservable inputs including long-term revenue growth rate and discount rate. The contingent consideration utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate fair value. This method relied upon significant unobservable inputs including revenue volatility and discount rate.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding of, evaluated the design of, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s valuation process. This included testing management’s review controls over the valuation methodologies, significant unobservable inputs described above, and completeness and accuracy of the data inputs used in the valuation models. To test the customary advisory agreement and contingent consideration fair value, our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the methodology used, the significant unobservable inputs discussed above and the underlying data used by the Company. We read the executed purchase and sale agreement and other relevant transaction documents. We also involved our valuation specialists to assist in evaluating the Company’s valuation methodologies, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used. For the customary advisory agreement, this included assessing the reasonableness of the long-term revenue growth rate and discount rate. For contingent consideration this included assessing the reasonableness of the revenue volatility and discount rate. The audit team, in conjunction with our specialists, compared these significant unobservable inputs in both models to historical performance of the acquired business, industry trends, macroeconomic conditions, and other available market data. We tested the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the valuation models, evaluated the mathematical accuracy of the models, and developed independent valuation ranges to assess the reasonableness of the Company’s recorded amounts. In addition, we performed sensitivity analyses to evaluate how changes in significant unobservable inputs would affect the fair value measurements and agreed certain key inputs to underlying documentation.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of WisdomTree, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited WisdomTree, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, WisdomTree, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.

As indicated in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Ceres Partners, LLC, which is included in the 2025 consolidated financial statements of the Company and constituted 1.2% and 0.6% of total and net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2025 and 2.4% and 5.0% of revenues and net income, respectively, for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Ceres Partners, LLC.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and our report dated February 25, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

See Note 3 for additional information.

  1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The financial results of Ceres are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date, October 1, 2025 (See Note 3).

Consolidation

The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company determines whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity (“VOE”) or a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The usual condition for a controlling financial interest in a VOE is ownership of a majority voting interest. If the Company has a majority voting interest in a VOE, the entity is consolidated. The Company has a controlling financial interest in a VIE when the Company has a variable interest that provides it with (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company reassesses its evaluation of whether an entity is a VOE or VIE when certain reconsideration events occur.

Segment and Geographic Information

The Company, through its subsidiaries in the U.S. and Europe, is a global financial innovator, offering a diverse suite of ETPs, models and solutions, private market investments and digital asset-related products and services. The Company conducts business as a single operating segment as an ETP sponsor and asset manager, which is based upon the Company’s current organizational and management structure, as well as information used by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the chief operating decision maker, or CODM) to allocate resources and other factors.

F-12

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated based on the end of period exchange rates from local currency to U.S. dollars. Results of operations are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. The impact of the foreign currency translation adjustment is included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as a component of other comprehensive (loss)/income.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Advisory Fees

The Company earns a significant portion of its revenues in the form of advisory fees from its ETPs and recognizes this revenue over time, as the performance obligation is satisfied. Advisory fees are based on a percentage of the ETPs’ average daily net assets. Progress is measured using the practical expedient under the output method resulting in the recognition of revenue in the amount for which the Company has a right to invoice.

Management and Performance Fees - Ceres

The Company earns management fees in exchange for Ceres providing investment advisory and other management services to Ceres Farms. Management fees are generally calculated as a stated percentage of members’ capital account balances as of the last day of each calendar quarter, subject to adjustment for any contractual waivers as well as contributions and redemptions arising in any particular quarter. Management fees are recognized as revenue over time, as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Performance fees represent variable consideration and are earned based on a specified percentage of Ceres Farms’ net profits, subject to contractual fee waivers, high-water marks and loss recovery requirements. Performance fees are earned only after members have recovered prior losses and applicable thresholds have been met. Performance fee revenues are recognized when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur, which generally occurs upon the determination of fund profits that are no longer subject to claw back or reversal under the governing agreements.

Other Revenues

Other revenues are earned from swap providers associated with certain of the Company’s European listed ETPs, the nature of which are based on a percentage of the ETPs’ average daily net assets. The Company also earns transaction-based income on flows associated with certain European listed ETPs. There is no significant judgment in calculating amounts due, which are invoiced monthly or quarterly in arrears and are not subject to any potential reversal. Progress is measured using the practical expedient under the output method resulting in the recognition of revenue in the amount for which the Company has a right to invoice.

Contractual Gold Payments

Contractual gold payments were measured and paid monthly based upon the average daily spot price of gold. The Company’s obligation to continue making these payments terminated on May 10, 2023.

Marketing and Advertising

Marketing and advertising costs, including media advertising and production costs, are expensed when incurred.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization is provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Intangible assets—Ceres Acquisition (Note 23)25 years
Equipment3 to 5 years
Internally-developed software3 years

The assets listed above are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.

Stock-Based Awards

Accounting for stock-based compensation requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all equity awards based on estimated fair values. Stock-based compensation is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award and is amortized over the relevant service period. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur.

F-13

Third-Party Distribution Fees

The Company pays a percentage of its advisory fee revenues based on incremental growth in assets under management (“AUM”), subject to caps or minimums, to marketing agents to sell WisdomTree ETPs and for including WisdomTree ETPs on third-party customer platforms and recognizes these expenses as incurred.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be classified as cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits with financial institutions in an amount that is in excess of federally insured limits. Restricted cash is required to be maintained in a separate account with withdrawal and usage restrictions.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are customer and other obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company measures credit losses, if any, by applying historical loss rates, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts to amounts outstanding using the aging method.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company performs a review for the impairment of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets are less than their carrying amounts or when other events occur which may indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Financial Instruments Owned (at Fair Value)

Financial instruments owned are financial instruments classified as either trading or available-for-sale (“AFS”). These financial instruments are recorded on their trade date and are measured at fair value. All equity instruments that have readily determinable fair values are classified by the Company as trading. Debt instruments are classified based primarily on the Company’s intent to hold or sell the instrument. Changes in the fair value of debt instruments classified as trading and AFS are reported in other income/(expenses) and other comprehensive income, respectively, in the period the change occurs. Debt instruments classified as AFS are assessed for impairment on a quarterly basis and an estimate for credit loss is provided when the fair value of the AFS debt instrument is below its amortized cost basis. Credit-related impairments are recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the instrument’s amortized cost basis if the Company intends to sell the impaired AFS debt instrument or it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the instrument before recovering its amortized cost basis. Other credit-related impairments are recognized as an allowance with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Impairments resulting from noncredit-related factors are recognized in other comprehensive income. Amounts recorded in other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings upon sale of the AFS debt instrument using the specific identification method.

Investments

The Company accounts for equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value under the measurement alternative prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 321, Investments – Equity Securities (“ASC 321”), to the extent such investments are not subject to consolidation or the equity method. Under the measurement alternative, these financial instruments are carried at cost, less any impairment (assessed quarterly), plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. In addition, income is recognized when dividends are received only to the extent they are distributed from net accumulated earnings of the investee. Otherwise, such distributions are considered returns of investment and are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the investment.

Investments in debt instruments are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in other income/(expenses).

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually and at the time of a triggering event requiring re-evaluation, if one were to occur. Goodwill is considered impaired when the estimated fair value of the reporting unit that was allocated the goodwill is less than its carrying value. If the estimated fair value of such reporting unit is less than its carrying value, goodwill impairment is recognized based on that difference, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a component of an operating segment provided that the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and management regularly reviews the operating results of that component.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and has determined that it has a single reporting unit, consistent with its single operating segment. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually on November 30th. When performing its goodwill impairment test, the Company considers a qualitative assessment, when appropriate, and a quantitative assessment using the market approach and its market capitalization when determining the fair value of the reporting unit.

Intangible Assets

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually and are also reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired if their estimated fair values are less than their carrying values.

Finite-lived intangible assets, if any, are amortized over their estimated useful life, which is the period over which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the Company. These intangible assets are tested for impairment at the time of a triggering event, if one were to occur. Finite-lived intangible assets may be impaired when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows generated from the assets are less than their carrying amounts.

The Company may rely on a qualitative assessment when performing its intangible asset impairment test. Otherwise, the impairment evaluation is performed at the lowest level of reasonably identifiable cash flows independent of other assets. The annual impairment testing date for all of the Company’s intangible assets is November 30th.

Software Development Costs

Software development costs incurred after the preliminary project stage is complete are capitalized if it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. Capitalized costs consist of employee compensation costs and fees paid to third parties who are directly involved in the application development efforts and are included in intangible assets, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software on a straight-line basis and are included in depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Once the application development stage is complete, additional costs are expensed as incurred.

Leases

The Company accounts for its lease obligations in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which requires the recognition of both (i) a lease liability equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments and (ii) an offsetting right-of-use asset. The remaining lease payments are discounted using the rate implicit in the lease, if known, or otherwise the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. After lease commencement, right-of-use assets are assessed for impairment and otherwise are amortized over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. These recognition requirements are not applied to short-term leases which are those with a lease term of 12 months or less. Instead, lease payments associated with short-term leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

ASC 842 also provides a practical expedient which allows for consideration in a contract to be accounted for as a single lease component rather than allocated between lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected to apply this practical expedient to all lease contracts, where applicable.

Deferred Consideration—Gold Payments

Deferred consideration—gold payments represented the present value of an obligation to pay gold to a third party into perpetuity and was measured using forward-looking gold prices observed on the CMX exchange, a selected discount rate and perpetual growth rate (Note 9). Changes in the fair value and settlement of this obligation were reported as gain on revaluation/termination of deferred consideration—gold payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Convertible Notes

Convertible notes are carried at amortized cost, net of issuance costs. The Company accounts for convertible instruments as a single liability (applicable to the convertible notes) or equity with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features unless the conversion feature meets the criteria for accounting under the substantial premium model or does not qualify for a derivative scope exception. Interest expense is recognized using the effective interest method and includes amortization of issuance costs over the life of the debt.

Acquisition-related Costs

The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with acquisitions recorded using the acquisition method. Transaction costs associated with acquisitions are expensed as incurred.

Contingencies

The Company may be subject to reviews, inspections and investigations by regulatory authorities as well as legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome of all legal or regulatory proceedings to which it is a party and accrues a loss contingency when the loss is probable and reasonably estimable.

Contingent Payments

The Company recognizes a gain on contingent payments when the contingency is resolved and the gain is realized.

F-15

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Net income available to common stockholders represents net income of the Company reduced by an allocation of earnings to participating securities, as well as the loss related to the repurchase of the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and excise tax on stock repurchases. The Series A Preferred Stock and the Series C Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) and unvested share-based payment awards that contained non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) were participating securities while they were outstanding and were included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. Share-based payment awards that do not contain such rights are not deemed participating securities and are included in diluted shares outstanding (if dilutive).

Diluted EPS is calculated under the treasury stock method and the two-class method. The calculation that results in the lowest diluted EPS amount for the common stock is reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The treasury stock method includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares including unvested stock-based awards, the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series C non-voting convertible preferred stock and the convertible notes, if any. Potential common shares associated with the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series C non-voting convertible preferred stock and the convertible notes were computed under the if-converted method. Potential common shares associated with the conversion option embedded in the convertible notes are dilutive when the Company’s average stock price exceeds the conversion price.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, which requires the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Tax positions are evaluated utilizing a two-step process. The Company first determines whether any of its tax positions are more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits of the position. Once it is determined that a position meets this recognition threshold, the position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company records interest expense and penalties related to tax expenses as income tax expense.

The Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions of the Tax Reform Act requires the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets. An accounting policy election is available to either account for the tax effects of GILTI in the period that is subject to such taxes or to provide deferred taxes for book and tax basis differences that upon reversal may be subject to such taxes. The Company accounts for the tax effects of these provisions in the period that is subject to such tax.

Non-income based taxes are recorded as part of other liabilities and other expenses. Excise taxes on stock repurchases are accounted for as a direct cost of the share repurchase transaction and reported as a reduction of stockholders’ equity.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On September 18, 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which clarifies and modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The guidance removes all references to project stages in prior guidance, clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs and adds more detail to disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company does not anticipate this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

  1. Business Combination

Summary

As previously disclosed in Note 1, on October 1, 2025, the Company completed the Ceres Acquisition. Pursuant to the Ceres Purchase Agreement, the purchase price consisted of (i) $275,000 in cash payable at closing, subject to customary post-closing adjustments and (ii) earnout consideration of up to $225,000, payable in 2030, contingent upon Ceres achieving a CAGR in revenue of 12% to 22% during the earnout measurement period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Ceres Acquisition is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, which requires an allocation of the consideration paid by the Company to the identifiable assets and liabilities of Ceres based on the estimated fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition. An allocation of the consideration transferred is presented below and includes the Company’s valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price as of the acquisition date:

Cash on hand, net of cash acquired270,346
Fair value of contingent consideration(1)11,134
Total purchase price$281,480
Allocation of consideration:
Ceres net liabilities assumed$(3,803)
Intangible assets(2)143,500
Fair value of net assets acquired$139,697
Goodwill resulting from the Ceres Acquisition(3)$141,783

(1) Measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation. See below for additional information.

(2) Represents purchase price allocated to a customary advisory agreement ($135,000) and trade name ($8,500) which were determined to have a finite-life (estimated useful life of 25 years). The customary advisory agreement was valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. This method relied upon significant unobservable inputs including a long-term revenue growth rate of approximately (0.1%) and a discount rate of 15.5%. The revenue growth rate contemplates that Ceres Farms, the fund from which the Company derives revenues, will cease accepting new capital, with future business expected to be allocated to a new farmland fund to be formed. The trade name is finite-lived (estimated useful life of 25 years) and was valued using the relief-from-royalty method. Significant unobservable inputs include a long-term revenue growth rate of approximately 3.0%, a royalty rate of 2.0% and a discount rate of 15.5%.

(3) Goodwill arising from the Ceres Acquisition represents expected synergies from the integration of Ceres and the Company, including capital raising activities for a new farmland fund to be formed. Goodwill is not amortized for financial reporting purposes, and both goodwill and intangible assets are expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes.

  1. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Of the total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $311,732 and $181,191 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, $294,158 and $155,871 were held at three financial institutions. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, cash equivalents were approximately $161,063 and $48,336, respectively.

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are required to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital, generally satisfied by cash on hand, which was $38,861 and $39,423 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Of these amounts, $11,700 and $13,403, at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was restricted cash, which is required to be maintained in a separate account with withdrawal and usage restrictions in compliance with regulatory obligations.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of financial instruments is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., “the exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the transparency of inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 – Instruments whose significant drivers are unobservable.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from product to product and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of product, whether the product is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by management in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The tables below summarize the categorization of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers between Levels 2 and 3.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements - Methodology

Cash equivalents (Note 4) – These financial assets represent cash invested in highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 90 days, as well as institutional money market funds that invest in short-term, high-quality U.S. Treasury and government agency securities and aim to maintain a stable $1.00 net asset value per share. These investments are valued at par, which approximates fair value, and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Financial instruments owned (Note 6) – Financial instruments owned are investments in ETFs, pass-through GSEs, equities and fixed income. ETFs and equities are generally traded in active, quoted and highly liquid markets and are therefore classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Pricing of pass-through GSEs and fixed income includes consideration given to date of issuance, collateral characteristics and market assumptions related to yields, credit risk and timing of prepayments and may be classified as either Level 1 or Level 2.

Contingent consideration (Note 9) – This liability represents contingent consideration arising from the Ceres Acquisition which is measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the valuation incorporates significant unobservable inputs. Fair value is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which incorporates a range of potential revenue outcomes over the earnout measurement period and estimates the probability-weighted present value of expected future payments. Significant assumptions used in the valuation include revenue volatility, revenue discount rate and payment discount rate.

Fair Value Measurements classified as Level 3 – The following table presents a reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of recurring fair value measurements classified as Level 3:

Fnality International Limited

The Company owns approximately 7.3% (or 6.2% on a fully-diluted basis) of capital stock of Fnality International Limited (“Fnality”), a company incorporated in England and Wales and focused on creating a peer-to-peer digital wholesale settlement ecosystem comprised of a consortium of financial institutions, offering real time cross-border payments from a single pool of liquidity. The Company’s ownership interest is represented by 2,340,378 Series B-1 Preference Shares (“Fnality B-1 Shares”) and 3,029,294 Series C-1 Preference Shares (“Fnality C-1 Shares”). The Fnality B-1 Shares resulted from the conversion of the Company’s investment of £6,000 ($8,091) in convertible notes upon Fnality’s qualified equity financing which occurred in October 2023. The Fnality C-1 Shares resulted from (i) a new investment made by the Company in the amount of £10,000 ($13,553) as part of a qualified equity financing that occurred in September 2025, and (ii) the conversion of a previously outstanding convertible note issued by Fnality with a cost of $674 (previously listed as “other investments” in the 2024 table above). The Fnality B-1 Shares and the Fnality C-1 Shares are convertible into ordinary shares at the option of the Company and contain various rights and protections. The Fnality B-1 Shares carry a 1.0x liquidation preference, while the Fnality C-1 Shares carry a 1.5x liquidation preference, which may be reduced to 1.0x upon the occurrence of certain conditions, such as receipt of specified regulatory approvals or a subsequent qualified equity financing.

This investment is accounted for under the measurement alternative prescribed in ASC 321, as it does not have a readily determinable fair value and is otherwise not subject to the equity method of accounting. The investment is assessed for impairment and similar observable transactions on a quarterly basis. Net unrealized gains/(losses) recognized on this investment were $50 and ($1,449) during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, due to changes in the British pound to U.S. dollar exchange rate. These results are recorded in other gains/(losses), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s investment in Fnality Series B-1 Shares was re-measured to fair value upon the occurrence of the Fnality C-1 Shares qualified equity financing in September 2025. Fair value was determined using the backsolve method, a valuation approach that determines the value of shares for companies with complex capital structures based upon the price paid for shares recently issued. Fair value was allocated across the capital structure using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The table below presents the inputs used in the backsolve valuation approach (classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy):

Quorus Inc.

In June 2025, the Company made a $4,000 strategic minority investment in Quorus Inc. (“Quorus”), a technology-driven asset manager and registered investment adviser with platform capabilities for delivering customizable tax-efficient portfolio solutions. In consideration of its investment, the Company received 3,798,562 shares of Series Seed-1 Preferred Stock representing approximately 23.8% ownership of Quorus (or 20.4% on a fully diluted basis). The shares of Series Seed-1 Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock at the option of the Company and contain various rights and protections, including non-cumulative dividend rights that participate on an as-converted, pari passu basis with the common stock, only payable if and when declared by the board of directors of Quorus, and a 1.0x non-participating liquidation preference that is senior to all other holders of capital stock of Quorus.

This investment is accounted for under the measurement alternative prescribed in ASC 321, as it does not have a readily determinable fair value and is otherwise not subject to the equity method of accounting. The investment is assessed for impairment and similar observable transactions on a quarterly basis. There was no impairment recognized on this investment during the year ended December 31, 2025 based upon a qualitative assessment.

Other Investments

On October 30, 2025, the Company made a $2,500 preferred stock investment in a fintech company specializing in quantitative and AI-first investment strategies.

  1. Deferred Consideration—gold payments

Deferred consideration—gold payments represented an obligation the Company assumed in connection with its acquisition of the European exchange-traded commodity, currency and leveraged-and-inverse business of ETFS Capital Limited (“ETFS Capital”) which occurred on April 11, 2018 (“ETFS Acquisition”). The obligation was for fixed payments to ETFS Capital of physical gold bullion equating to 9,500 ounces of gold per year through March 31, 2058 and then subsequently reduced to 6,333 ounces of gold per year continuing into perpetuity (“contractual gold payments”). ETFS Capital continued to pass through the payments to other parties to meet its payment obligations under prior royalty agreements, including to Gold Bullion Holdings (Jersey) Limited (“GBH”), a subsidiary of the World Gold Council (“WGC”), Graham Tuckwell (“GT”), and Rodber Investments Limited (“RIL”), an entity controlled by GT, who is also the Chairman of ETFS Capital.

F-21

On May 10, 2023, the Company terminated its contractual gold payments obligation for aggregate consideration totaling $136,903 pursuant to a Sale, Purchase and Assignment Deed (the “SPA Agreement”) with WisdomTree International Holdings Ltd, Electra Target HoldCo Limited, ETFS Capital, WGC, GBH, GT and RIL. Under the terms of the transaction, GBH received approximately $4,371 in cash and 13,087 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, convertible into 13,087,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 12 for additional information), and RIL received approximately $45,634 in cash.

On November 20, 2023, the Company repurchased the 13,087 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued to GBH for aggregate consideration of $84,411, $40,000 of which was paid on the closing date, with the remaining $44,411 payable in equal, interest-free installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing date. See Note 22 for additional information.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized the following in respect of deferred consideration:

  1. Convertible Notes

The Company has the following convertible notes outstanding as of December 31, 2025:

  • $150,000 in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”);
  • $345,000 in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”); and
  • $475,000 in aggregate principal amount of 4.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”).

Each class of notes was issued pursuant to indentures dated as of the issuance dates between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (either initially or as successor to U.S. Bank National Association, the “Trustee”), in private offerings to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes, the Company repurchased $24,030 in aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% convertible senior notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”). As a result of this repurchase, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $13,011 during the year ended December 31, 2025. Additionally, on November 25, 2025, the Company redeemed the remaining $1,815 in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of $833.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an aggregate principal amount of $970,000 outstanding of the 2026 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2030 Notes (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”).

Interest expense on the Convertible Notes during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $28,639, $16,275 and $14,945 respectively. Interest payable of $12,813 and $5,107 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, is included in accounts payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of the Convertible Notes (classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy) at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $1,082,570 and $571,031, respectively.

At December 31, 2025, the if-converted value of the 2026 Notes and the 2029 Notes was $165,625 and $355,799, respectively, and the if-converted value of the 2030 Notes did not exceed the principal amount. At December 31, 2024, the if-converted value of the 2028 Notes was $28,446, and the if-converted value of the 2026 and 2029 Notes did not exceed the principal amount.

  1. Contingent Consideration

Pursuant to the Ceres Purchase Agreement, up to $225,000 of additional consideration is payable in 2030, contingent upon Ceres achieving a CAGR in revenue of 12% to 22% during the earnout measurement period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029, as follows:

  • If the revenue CAGR for the earnout period is equal to or less than 12%, then the aggregate amount of the earnout consideration will be $0;
  • If the revenue CAGR for the earnout period is greater than 12% but less than 22%, then the aggregate amount of the earnout consideration will be pro-rated using straight-line interpolation between $0 and $225,000; and
  • If the revenue CAGR for the earnout period is equal to or greater than 22%, then the aggregate amount of the earnout consideration will be $225,000.

The Company has determined that the earnout should be classified as contingent consideration as (i) continuing employment is not a condition for payment (except as described below), (ii) non-employee sellers are entitled to similar payments based upon their relative ownership percentages and (iii) the payment formula described above is tied to the valuation of the acquired business. Under ASC 805, contingent consideration must be recognized at the acquisition date as part of the consideration transferred for the acquired business.

The fair value of the contingent consideration at the date of the Ceres Acquisition was $11,134, derived from a Monte Carlo simulation. As of December 31, 2025, the contingent consideration was remeasured at fair value totaling $11,844, resulting in a $710 loss on remeasurement which was recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the valuation incorporating significant unobservable inputs. The actual amount payable may differ from the assumptions used to estimate fair value, which could result in material changes to the amount ultimately paid.

The table below presents the inputs used in the remeasurement of contingent consideration:

Line itemInputsDecember 31, 2025InputsOctober 1, 2025

Revenue discount rate11.9%11.7%

In connection with the acquisition, the sellers established a retention bonus plan for certain Ceres employees pursuant to which the greater of $3,050 or 10% of any earnout consideration in excess of $50,000 will be forfeited by the sellers and paid to participating employees, contingent upon their continued employment through earnout payment date. Any amounts forfeited due to employee attrition revert to the sellers. This compensation will be recognized over the service period with an equal and offsetting receivable from the sellers. Accrued compensation totaled $176 at December 31, 2025.

  1. Payable to Gold Bullion Holdings (Jersey) Limited (“GBH”)

On November 20, 2023, the Company repurchased all of its then-outstanding Series C Preferred Stock, which was convertible into 13,087,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, from GBH, a subsidiary of WGC, for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $84,411. Under the terms of the transaction, the Company paid GBH $40,000 on the closing date, with the remainder of the purchase price payable in equal, interest-free installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing date. The implied price per share was $6.02 when considering the interest-free financing element of the transaction. The investor rights agreement that the Company and GBH entered into in May 2023 in connection with the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, which provided GBH with certain rights and obligations with respect to the shares, including registration rights, was terminated in this transaction.

F-24

Under U.S. GAAP, the obligation was recorded at its present value of $38,835 utilizing a market rate of interest on the closing date of 7.0% and the corresponding discount is being amortized as interest expense pursuant to the effective interest method of accounting over the life of the obligation. The carrying value of this obligation was $13,940 and $26,963 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Interest expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $1,781 and $2,635, respectively, and is included as a component of total interest expense recognized on the Statements of Operations.

Closure of the WisdomTree WTI Crude Oil 3x Daily Leveraged ETP

Between December 2020 and December 2024, WMAI, WTMAML, WTUK and/or WT Ireland were served with eight separate writs of summons to appear before the Courts of Milan, Udine or Turin, Italy by investors seeking damages resulting from the closure of the WisdomTree WTI Crude Oil 3x Daily Leveraged ETP (“3OIL”) in March 2020. The product was dependent on the receipt of payments from a swap provider to satisfy payment obligations to the investors. Due to an extreme adverse move in oil futures relative to the oil futures’ closing price, the swap contract underlying 3OIL was terminated by the swap provider, which resulted in the compulsory redemption of 3OIL, all in accordance with the prospectus.

F-25

Since February 2022, all eight actions have been resolved in the Company’s favor, of which two have been appealed. Total damages sought by investors related to the remaining appealed claims were approximately €15,240 ($17,930) at December 31, 2025.

Additionally, in July 2023, WT Ireland received a letter from counsel on behalf of additional investors seeking damages of up to approximately €8,350 ($9,820) resulting from the closure of 3OIL. A writ of summons has not been served.

The Company continues to assess the appealed claims with its external counsel. The Company expects that losses, if any, arising from these claims will be covered under its insurance policies, less a $500 deductible. An accrual has not been made with respect to these matters at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

  1. Variable Interest Entities

VIEs are entities with any of the following characteristics: (i) the entity does not have enough equity to finance its activities without additional financial support; (ii) the equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights.

Consolidation of a VIE is required for the party deemed to be the primary beneficiary, if any. The primary beneficiary is the party who has both (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (b) an obligation to absorb losses of the entity or a right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of any entities in which it has a variable interest as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance. Such power is conveyed through the entities’ boards of directors and the Company does not have control over the boards.

The following table presents information about the Company’s variable interests in non-consolidated VIEs:

Performance fees7,105
Other41,75332,37515,808
Total operating revenues$493,753$427,737$349,035

The Company recognizes revenues from contracts with customers when the performance obligation is satisfied, which is when the promised services are transferred to the customer. A service is considered to be transferred when the customer obtains control, which is represented by the transfer of rights with regard to the service. Transfer of control happens either over time or at a point in time. When a performance obligation is satisfied over time, an entity is required to select a single method of measuring progress for each performance obligation that depicts the entity’s performance in transferring control of services to the customer.

There are no contract assets or liabilities that arise in connection with the recognition of operating revenues. In addition, there are no costs incurred to obtain or fulfill the contracts with customers. See Note 17 for additional information regarding related party transactions.

F-26

Advisory Fees

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues from contracts with customers is derived primarily from investment advisory agreements with related parties (Note 17). These advisory fees are recognized over time, are earned from the Company’s ETPs and are calculated based on a percentage of the ETPs’ average daily net assets. There is no significant judgment in calculating amounts due which are invoiced monthly in arrears and are not subject to any potential reversal. Progress is measured using the practical expedient under the output method resulting in the recognition of revenue in the amount for which the Company has a right to invoice.

Management Fees

Management fees are earned in exchange for Ceres providing investment advisory and other management services to Ceres Farms. Management fees are generally calculated as a stated percentage of members’ capital account balances as of the last day of each calendar quarter, subject to adjustment for any contractual waivers as well as contributions and redemptions arising in any particular quarter. Management fees are recognized as revenue over time, as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Performance Fees

Performance fees represent variable consideration and are earned based on a specified percentage of Ceres Farms’ net profits, subject to contractual fee waivers, high-water marks and loss recovery requirements. Performance fees are earned only after members have recovered prior losses and applicable thresholds have been met. Performance fee revenues are recognized when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur, which generally occurs upon the determination of fund profits that are no longer subject to claw back or reversal under the governing agreements.

Other Revenues

Other revenues include revenues the Company earns from swap providers associated with certain of the Company’s European listed ETPs, the nature of which are based on a percentage of the ETPs’ average daily net assets. The Company also earns transaction-based income on flows associated with certain European listed ETPs. There is no significant judgment in calculating amounts due, which are invoiced monthly or quarterly in arrears and are not subject to any potential reversal. Progress is measured using the practical expedient under the output method resulting in the recognition of revenue in the amount for which the Company has a right to invoice.

  1. Related Party Transactions

Advisory Services

The Company’s advisory fee revenues are derived primarily from investment advisory agreements with related parties. Under these agreements, the Company has licensed to related parties the use of certain of its own indexes for the U.S. WisdomTree ETFs, WisdomTree Digital Funds and WisdomTree UCITS ETFs. The relevant boards of trustees or boards of directors (including certain officers of the Company) of each of the related parties is primarily responsible for overseeing the management and affairs of the entities for the benefit of their respective stakeholders and have contracted with the Company to provide for general management and administration services. The Company is also responsible for certain expenses of the related parties, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, legal, audit, and other non-distribution services, excluding extraordinary expenses, taxes and certain other expenses, which are included in fund management and administration in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In exchange, the Company receives fees based on a percentage of the ETPs’ and the Digital Funds’ average daily net assets. A majority of the independent members of the respective board of trustees or board of directors are required to initially and annually (after the first two years) approve the advisory agreements of the U.S. WisdomTree ETFs and the WisdomTree Digital Funds and these agreements may be terminated by such board of trustees or board of directors upon notice.

  1. Stock-Based Awards

On July 15, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2022 Equity Plan under which the Company may issue up to 16,000,000 shares of common stock (less one share for every share granted under the 2016 Equity Plan since March 31, 2022 and inclusive of shares available under the 2016 Equity Plan as of March 31, 2022) in the form of stock options and other stock-based awards.

The Company grants equity awards to employees and directors, which include restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), including deferred RSUs to non-employee directors, performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and stock options. Certain awards described below are subject to acceleration under certain conditions.

Stock options: Generally issued for terms of ten years and may vest after at least one year of service and have an exercise price equal to the Company’s stock price on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options (when granted) using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

RSAs/RSUs: Awards are valued based on the Company’s stock price on grant date and generally vest ratably, on an annual basis, over three years. For non-employee directors, such awards generally vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date.

Deferred RSUs: Awards are valued based on the Company’s stock price on grant date and generally vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date. The awards are issued pursuant to the Company’s Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Program and are settled based on timing elected by the recipient in advance.

PRSUs: These awards cliff vest three years from the grant date and contain a market condition whereby the number of PRSUs ultimately vesting is tied to how the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) compares to a peer group of other publicly traded asset managers over the three-year period. A Monte Carlo simulation is used to value these awards.

The number of PRSUs vesting ranges from 0% to 200% of the target number of PRSUs granted, as follows:

  • If the relative TSR is below the 25th percentile, then 0% of the target number of PRSUs granted will vest;
  • If the relative TSR is at the 25th percentile, then 50% of the target number of PRSUs granted will vest;
  • If the relative TSR is above the 25th percentile, then linear scaling is applied such that the percent of the target number of PRSUs vesting is 100% at the 50th percentile and capped at 200% of the target number of PRSUs granted for performance at the 85th percentile; and
  • If the Company’s TSR is negative, the target number of PRSUs vesting is capped at 100% regardless of the relative TSR percentile.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, total stock-based compensation expense was $21,619, $20,691 and $16,190, respectively, and the related tax benefit recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations was $5,259, $5,032 and $3,919, respectively.

The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions for share-based compensation was $4,573, $2,884 and $1,820 during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share presented above is calculated using the two-class method as this method results in the lowest diluted earnings per share amount for common stock. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized excise taxes on stock repurchases of $717 and $1,868, respectively. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a loss on the repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock of $11,375 and a gain on the repurchase of Series C Preferred Stock of $7,966. These items are excluded from net income but are required to be added to net income to arrive at income available to common stockholders in the calculation of earnings per share.

Total antidilutive non-participating common stock equivalents were 113 during the year ended December 31, 2025 (shares herein are reported in thousands). There were no antidilutive non-participating common stock equivalents during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

There were 24 potential common shares associated with the conversion option embedded in the Convertible Notes included in weighted average diluted shares for the year ended December 31, 2025. There were no potential common shares associated with the conversion option embedded in the Convertible Notes included in weighted average diluted shares for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 as the Company’s average stock price was lower than the conversion price.

Capital Losses – U.S.

The Company’s tax effected capital losses at December 31, 2025 were $6,689. These capital losses expire between the years 2026 and 2028. The table below sets forth the aggregate changes in these capital losses:

Balance at January 1, 202422,489

Balance at December 31, 2024$21,984
Expirations(14,064)
Utilizations(1,231)
Balance at December 31, 2025$6,689

Net Operating Losses – Europe

One of the Company’s European subsidiaries generated NOLs outside the U.S. These tax effected NOLs, all of which are carried forward indefinitely, were $745 at December 31, 2025.

Valuation Allowance

The Company’s valuation allowance has been established on its net capital losses (net of unrealized gains), as it is more-likely-than-not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Income Tax Examinations

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state, local and certain foreign jurisdictions.

As of December 31, 2025, with few exceptions, the Company was no longer subject to income tax examinations by any taxing authority for the years before 2021.

Uncertain Tax Positions

During the year ended December 31, 2023, $1,353 of unrecognized tax benefits lapsed due to the statute of limitations. There were no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Undistributed Earnings of Foreign Subsidiaries

ASC 740-30 Income Taxes provides guidance that U.S. companies do not need to recognize tax effects on foreign earnings that are indefinitely reinvested. The Company repatriates earnings of its foreign subsidiaries and therefore has recognized a deferred tax liability of $65 and $92 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

U.S. Tax Reform

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted, extending or modifying several provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The OBBBA left corporate income tax rates unchanged, but reinstated immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures, revised Section 163(j) interest limitations, expanded Section 162(m) aggregation rules, updated GILTI provisions and restored 100% bonus depreciation, among other changes.

While the OBBBA accelerated certain previously deferred tax deductions, it did not otherwise have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

  1. Shares Repurchased

On October 27, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase of $190,038 to the Company’s share repurchase program, bringing the total authorization to $250,000, which expires on April 27, 2028. Repurchases, which will include purchases to offset future equity awards made under the Company’s equity plans, may be made from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or otherwise, in each case in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined at the Company’s discretion and will depend on a variety of factors including stock price, general business and market conditions, and corporate and regulatory requirements, as well as other uses of capital and the Company’s liquidity position. The program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular amount of common stock and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Shares repurchased under this program are returned to the status of authorized and unissued on the Company’s books and records.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company repurchased 8,096,862, 6,800,301 and 635,653 shares of its common stock, respectively, under this program for an aggregate cost of $102,732, $62,870 and $3,570, respectively. Shares repurchased under this program were returned to the status of authorized and unissued on the Company’s books and records.

As of December 31, 2025, $250,000 remained under this program for future purchases.

In addition, in August 2024, the Company repurchased all of its then-outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, which was convertible into 14,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, from ETFS Capital for aggregate cash consideration of $143,812 (or $9.75 per share).

  1. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

The table below sets forth goodwill which is tested annually for impairment on November 30th:

Line itemTotal
Balance at January 1, 2025$86,841
Add: Goodwill—Ceres Acquisition141,783
Balance at December 31, 2025$228,624

Goodwill arising from the Ceres Acquisition represents expected synergies from the integration of Ceres and the Company, including capital raising activities for a new farmland fund to be formed. Goodwill is not amortized for financial reporting purposes, and it is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Goodwill was tested for impairment on November 30, 2025. The quantitative impairment test was performed using a market approach, whereby the market capitalization of the Company (a single reporting unit) was compared to its carrying value. The market capitalization was derived from the Company’s publicly traded stock price plus a reasonable control premium. The fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and therefore no impairment was recognized.

Of the total goodwill of $228,624 at December 31, 2025, $85,042 is not deductible for tax purposes as the acquisitions that gave rise to the goodwill were structured as stock acquisitions. The remainder of the goodwill is deductible for U.S. tax purposes.

Intangible Assets

ETFS Acquisition (Indefinite-Lived)

In connection with the ETFS Acquisition, which was completed on April 11, 2018, the Company identified intangible assets valued at $601,247 related to the right to manage AUM through customary advisory agreements. These intangible assets were determined to have indefinite useful lives and are not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company performed its indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test related to these customary advisory agreements on November 30, 2025. The results of this analysis identified no indicators of impairment to be recognized based upon a quantitative assessment (discounted cash flow analysis) which relied upon significant unobservable inputs including a projected revenue growth rate of 3% and a weighted average cost of capital of 9.0%.

Ceres Acquisition (Finite-Lived)

In connection with the Ceres Acquisition, which was completed on October 1, 2025, the Company identified intangible assets valued at $143,500 related to purchase price allocated to a customary advisory agreement ($135,000) and trade name ($8,500). These intangible assets were determined to have a finite life (estimated useful life of 25 years) and are deductible for tax purposes.

F-36

As of December 31, 2025, expected amortization expense for the unamortized finite-lived intangible assets for the next five years and thereafter is as follows:

20265,470

  1. Segment Information

The Company, through its subsidiaries in the U.S. and Europe, offers a diverse suite of ETPs, models and solutions, private market investments and digital asset-related products and services. The Company conducts business as a single operating segment as an ETP sponsor and asset manager, which is based upon the Company’s current organizational and management structure, as well as information used by the CODM to allocate resources and assess performance and other factors. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in Note 2.

The key measures of segment profit or loss that the CODM uses to allocate resources and assess performance are the Company’s consolidated net income, as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin, which are exclusive of items that are non-recurring or not core to the Company’s operating business.

F-37

The table below discloses these key measures and is inclusive of a reconciliation of the Company’s operating income and operating income margin as computed under U.S. GAAP to the Company’s Non-GAAP adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin utilized by the CODM:

All expense categories on the Consolidated Statements of Operations are significant and there are no other significant segment expenses that would require disclosure. Assets provided to the CODM are consistent with those reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with particular emphasis on the Company’s available liquidity, including its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, financial instruments owned, accounts receivable and securities held-to-maturity, reduced by current liabilities, seed capital and regulatory capital requirements.

There are no intra-entity sales or transfers and no significant expense categories regularly provided to the CODM beyond those disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The CODM manages the business using consolidated expense information, adjusted for items that are non-recurring or not core to the Company’s operating business as disclosed in the table above, as well as regularly provided budgeted or forecasted expense information for the single operating segment.

Information related to the Company’s products and services and geographical distribution of revenues is disclosed in Note 16.
