Operator

Today I have Streamex. It trades under the ticker STEX on Nasdaq. I am happy to welcome Henry McPhie, the CEO of the company. We have about 30 minutes today, including the Q&A. If you have any questions, you can submit them at the Q&A section at the bottom of your screen. With that, I will let you take over, Henry.

Henry McPhieCo-Founder and CEO

Amazing. Thank you very much, Ashley. I really appreciate it, and excited to be here, and excited to sort of get into Streamex and what it is. To kick it off, I will give everyone a quick introduction on myself, just so you know who is speaking. Like Ashley said, my name is Henry McPhie. I am the co-founder and CEO of Streamex. My background itself is very focused in the digital asset space. I also have a mining engineering degree, and so this is, I think, a pretty good combination of both. The goal within Streamex, when we founded it, really was to innovate within an industry that traditionally does not see a lot of innovation, which is the mining and commodity space, and using tokenization, which is a very new, or which was at the time a very new concept.

Henry McPhieCo-Founder and CEO

With that, I think we have built something very exciting. GLDY is our sort of flagship product, which we will discuss today, which is live, and sort of talking about the path forward and how we see the growth of the company and the business, including where we are at now and where we expect to go. Getting started, welcome to Streamex. Excited to give the presentation today. Starting with some disclaimers. We will give that a second. Into the important stuff. What our mission statement is here at Streamex really is to unlock the full potential of commodities and using tokenization to be able to do that. What that means and what that creates is a company, and that is essentially focused in an industry that I think is probably one of the fastest-growing financial technology industries in the world, which is tokenization.

Henry McPhieCo-Founder and CEO

Couple that with an industry that is one of the largest TAM markets in the world. We are, I think, at a very good intersection for growth. Getting into what Streamex is and what it is not, just so everyone has a good idea there is Streamex, we are a financial technology company. We build and operate a tokenization platform for commodities. Like I said, it is a scalable platform. It is for all commodities. GLDY is the first asset. We are the issuer of assets on that platform. Something that is really important to note is the platform that we created, like I said, is scalable. It can scale across many different assets, but unlike other tokenization firms, we actually own the assets that we create.

Henry McPhieCo-Founder and CEO

Unlike, say a white labeled solution where we only take fees on the sort of front end or the minor management of these assets, we get to keep the economics of the asset itself for the lifetime. Tokens themselves are normally pretty durable, so this adds pretty exponential fee streams to the company and very high operating leverage with what we do. We are regulated first, so we took the path from the very beginning that we were going to create assets that were institutional-grade and available for U.S. investors and U.S. institutions to be able to participate in. That is very much shown through GLDY and in how we operate. We are not at the beck and call of the CLARITY Act, wondering if something is going to pass that will make us compliant. We are already compliant today.

Henry McPhieCo-Founder and CEO

With that, what this really creates is a recurring revenue platform where as we create new assets, as we scale AUM and the assets that we already have, it creates a significant sort of flywheel and recurring revenue model for us to be able to essentially grow as a company, and we will get deeper into that as the presentation goes on. A couple things to note is Streamex, we are not a cryptocurrency company. We are not issuing or trading crypto assets. We are a tokenization firm. We are not an ETF. We do not essentially create a tokenized wrapper or of a fund. We create the physical asset itself, so ownership of the physical asset itself, whether that is gold or silver or any other metal or commodity. We are not a mining royalty company, and we are not a single product story.

Henry McPhieCo-Founder and CEO

Something that is really important to note is we will talk about GLDY and gold a lot in this presentation, but we will also talk about the roadmap and talk about sort of where we are going beyond gold, beyond GLDY, into assets like silver, like oil and gas, like copper, et cetera, and really showing how this platform that we have created scales beyond there. As an investor, which most of you are, who are probably here in the presentation today, I think there is a couple key points to look at on why should you put your money to work and invest with Streamex. There is a couple really key points here. One would be, like I said, we own the rails.

Henry McPhieCo-Founder and CEO

We keep all of the economics, from the tokenization fees and the platform fees itself, all the way out to the transfer fees, the management fees of the assets themselves that we create. That is all on the infrastructure that we have built. There is an enormous market out there. Like I said in the beginning, we are operating at the intersection of the fastest-growing financial sector, which is tokenization, and the commodity sector, which is one of the largest TAMs in the world. We have a very strong, I think, advantage here with the assets that we create, and I think there is a massive opportunity to grow. The operating leverage is very strong. We have primarily a fixed cost base, and then the three fee streams that I discussed are for every token that we create. The operating leverage is massive.

Henry McPhieCo-Founder and CEO

As AUM grows, as issuance grows, and additional assets grow, it gets very exciting, and the operating margin is very high at scale. Distribution itself is really the multiplier to what we're doing. We have right now a very strong balance sheet with over $41 million in liquidity. We have no debt, and we have a very exciting, I think, path for growth. For us, dilution is not something that we're looking at. Raising money is not something that we're looking at. We are able to focus on growing the business. The last part is the infrastructure itself is built. Our main focus now really is adoption.

Henry McPhieCo-Founder and CEO

As we've built out this infrastructure over time, as we've sort of gotten to a point where we are able to scale exponentially, we are very excited to be able to show how that works, bring in these first couple institutional orders, and then be able to scale with a very much a snowball effect into the end of this year and into 2027. Super excited for everything that's going to come there. Overview of our Q2 earnings, which we did just around a month ago. First off, we recognized the first revenue ever as a company and anticipate this to scale as we continue to grow AUM. We reduced our operating costs by over half as we went into Q2, and we also removed all of our debt. That was something that was very powerful.

Henry McPhieCo-Founder and CEO

As of right now, we are a company with no debt, a company with very good liquidity, like I mentioned. The GLDY AUM is continuing to scale, and we expect that to continue to scale over time. We also signed some really good partners, which we'll get into, that allow us both to do for distribution and custody. When we look over the next 90 days, and this is something for you as investors to look at, is keep an eye out for the first institutional allocation, something that the company will announce. I think that is a very big catalyst for us. The next is the launch of liquidity bootstrapping for GDLC and launch of that in the second half.

Henry McPhieCo-Founder and CEO

I'll get into GDLC and what it is a little bit more prior in the presentation, but it opens up GLDY and tokenized gold to everyone in the world with no minimums and no KYC. Equity Trust is a big partner that we're very excited to be able to bring on. We've talked about it publicly. It is a $70-plus billion IRA custody platform with over 460,000 clients on there. Opening up GLDY as the first tokenized asset to be offered to their clients. Continuing to provide attestations and yield. We paid out six yield payments so far in GLDY. They've all been over 3.5%. We provided our attestations and the next one coming out very shortly here. Tokenization itself is, like I said, a very exciting industry to be in right now.

Henry McPhieCo-Founder and CEO

I think it is something that when we look at the space, it is growing exponentially, especially even this year. The numbers sort of speak for themselves. When we first started Streamex, it was a very nascent story. There was stablecoins, there was people talking about tokenization, but had not seen the adoption that we are seeing right now in the industry. For us, this is just proof that tokenization really is and will be the future of financial markets, in my opinion. I think it is something that when you see large institutions like BlackRock, like Nasdaq, like ICE, talking about tokenization and moving towards this 24/7 settlement, 24/7 trading, tokenized assets, et cetera, you want to be on that wave. We are perfectly situated to really, I think, benefit from the adoption that we are seeing in the industry.

Henry McPhieCo-Founder and CEO

When you think about catalysts and things that are coming for Streamex, there is a couple things that I think are important to note. One, like I mentioned, first institutional order. This is something that will be a major catalyst for the company. This is something that I think when you look at Wall Street in general, everybody loves to be a fast follower. Everybody, from conversations that we have been having, love the GLDY asset. The ability to get yield on gold, the ability to get paid 3.5% plus getting gold exposure is a very novel product. It is one of the most powerful gold investments out there in the market right now. But people want to see other people go in first. As we bring in this first institutional order, we anticipate that to scale exponentially from there. The second would be growing the distribution channels.

Henry McPhieCo-Founder and CEO

Partnerships like Equity Trust, partnerships with other custodians, partnerships with other distributors and broker-dealers, ETFs, et cetera, are all things that I would also sort of look out for. As we get into 2027, seeing the launch of additional assets coming online, and then the growth of the AUM of both existing assets that we have and then others, silver, oil, gas, copper, et cetera. Commodities, like I said, obviously a very, very large. I will not spend too much time, but it is a very, very large industry with a big opportunity for innovation and disruption. Getting into GLDY, and this is a plug for the asset. If any investors on this call are interested in purchasing it, you can go directly to streamex.com and be able to buy the asset, pass KYC, and then fund directly within the platform.
