  • Risk Factors ” and elsewhere in this Annual Report.
  • Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.
  • Overview ​ We are a values based media distribution company that uses technology to empower a vibrant and growing community to replace the Hollywood gatekeeper system and champion stories that amplify light for mainstream audiences.
  • Our community, known as the Angel Guild, is at the heart of this mission. ​ 1) The Angel Guild votes to select film and TV shows. 2) The Angel Guild rallies in theaters to support film releases. 3) The Angel Guild funds future films and TV shows with their membership. ​ As of December 31, 2025, through the Angel Guild, approximately 2.0 million paying members help decide what film and TV projects we will market and distribute. ​ Pledge to Amplify Light ​ All Guild members make a written pledge stating: “When I vote, I pledge to help choose excellent entertainment that is true, honest, noble, just, authentic, lovely or admirable.” ​ Components of Results of Operations ​ Revenue We primarily generate revenue from the following sources: ● Angel Guild revenue comes from monthly or annual membership fees.
  • Currently there are three possible tiers for membership, Basic with Ads, Basic, and Premium.
  • All memberships allow voting for every Angel Studios release, give early access for streaming, and help fund our original films, increasing new content releases.
  • The Basic and Premium tiers have no ads during shows and the Premium tier includes two complimentary tickets to every Angel Studios theatrical release and a discount for all merchandise. ● Theatrical Distribution revenue comes from releasing our original films with our exhibitor partners.
  • Every time a moviegoer purchases a ticket from the partner theaters, we receive a percentage of the box office revenue.
  • For most international theaters, the percentage of box office revenue is first paid to a distributor who then pays us. ● Content Licensing revenue comes from licensing our films and TV shows to other distributors such as Amazon, Apple and Netflix.
  • Our future plans include licensing the rights to our films and TV shows for other experiences such as derivative shows, video games, theme parks and Broadway-style plays. ● Other revenue is generated from sales of merchandise related to our films and series, as well as physical DVD sales.
  • We also offer a direct online store for Angel Studios themed products and wholesale products to retail partners.
  • Bitcoin Treasury Strategy As of December 31, 2025, we held an aggregate of approximately 303.1 bitcoins.

  • The overall strategy contemplates that we may (i) enter into capital raising transactions that are collateralized by our bitcoin holdings, (ii) consider pursuing strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate funds using our bitcoin holdings and (iii) periodically sell bitcoin for general corporate purposes, including to generate cash to meet our operating requirements.

  • Following the closing of the IPO on December 14, 2021, $234.6 million ($10.20 per SAC Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the SAC Units in the IPO and the sale of the SAC Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States, which is invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by SAC, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a business combination, (ii) the redemption of any of the SAC Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (a) to modify the substance or timing of SAC’s obligation to provide its public stockholders the right to have their SAC Public Shares redeemed in connection with an initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the SAC Public Shares if SAC does not complete the initial business combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of SAC Public Shares if SAC is unable to complete the initial business combination within 18 months from December 14, 2021 (the “Combination Period”) or during any extended time that SAC has to consummate its initial Business Combination beyond such 18-month period (an “Extension Period”).

  • The trustee processed the redemptions and withdrew the $197.7 million payable to the holders redeeming 18,849,935 shares of our Class A common stock on July 7, 2023.
  • The board of directors of SAC approved six monthly extensions to extend the time SAC had to consummate an initial business combination from September 14, 2023 to March 14, 2024.

  • In connection with the Second Extension Special Meeting, the holders of 2,986,952 shares of our Class A common stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for an aggregate redemption amount of $32.2 million, resulting in 1,163,113 shares of our Class A common stock issued and outstanding and subject to possible redemption.
  • On March 21, 2024, SAC received correspondence from the staff of NYSE Regulation of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) indicating that the staff has determined to commence proceedings to delist our Class A common stock, SAC Public Warrants and SAC Units, because SAC had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard requiring a listed acquisition company to maintain an average aggregate global market capitalization attributable to its publicly held shares over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $40 million.
  • On April 8, 2024, the NYSE filed a Form 25 to delist our Class A common stock, SAC Public Warrants and SAC Units, and to remove such securities from registration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.
  • The delisting became effective ten days after the filing of the Form 25, and the deregistration became effective 90 days after the Form 25 filing.

  • On October 14, 2024, SAC determined to postpone the Third Extension Special Meeting originally scheduled for October 15, 2024, to October 22, 2024, to allow additional time for SAC to engage with its stockholders and solicit redemption reversals.
  • On October 21, 2024, SAC cancelled the Third Extension Special Meeting and announced that it intended to file an amendment to the definitive proxy statement to reflect the addition of a new proposal to further amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to eliminate the limitation that SAC may not redeem its outstanding shares of our Class A common stock to the extent that such redemption would result in SAC having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) of less than $5,000,001, in order to allow SAC to redeem such shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed this limitation (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”).
  • Accordingly, the redemptions indicated on the October 11, 2024 redemption report from Continental in connection with the Third Extension Special Meeting were not processed.
  • On October 29, 2024, SAC filed an amendment to the Original Third Extension Proxy Statement that amended and restated the Original Third Extension Proxy Statement to: (1) reschedule the Third Extension Special Meeting originally scheduled for October 15, 2024, and postponed to October 22, 2024, to November 13, 2024 and (2) reflect the addition of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal.

  • Accordingly, following such redemptions, there were 4,237,987 shares of our Class A common stock issued and outstanding (including 37,987 shares of our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption) and approximately $423.5 thousand held in the Trust Account.
