My Thoughts 💭 My Thoughts 💭
I heard about Angel studios a long time ago.
They did the bitcoin pod circuit which showcased their animated show Tuttle Twins. A show that is based upon conservative values for kids.
They also released movies about Christianity which had success at the box office. On these pods they mentioned how they use Bitcoin as their treasury asset.
I had no clue they went public until I saw their name on the Bitcoin Treasuries website and noticed they have a decent stack of bitcoin. So I decided to add this stock the the stacker stocks portfolio! Now let’s do a deeper dive of the fundamentals
At 4.3k sats per share ($68,964), and no dividend, investors may only see a return of the company hits its growth targets or the company starts to buy back shares.
The company trades at a PE -3 which means investors are paying $3 access $1 of losses. Currently the company is not profitable.
Let’s review some key fundamentals to determine if this stock is worth spending sats on.

The fundamentals of this company are very weak. The balance sheet is bad, while revenues have grown operating expenses have grown faster than revenues, and the company isn’t profitable
A few positives include the growth prospects are strong (projected to grow earnings quicker than bitcoin), the ownership appears to be underpaid, and most of the shares are owned by the general public.
From a Bitcoiner perspective. Paying 4.3k sats for one share is cheap. The stock is high risk, high reward. As more people turn to traditional/conservative values Angel can capitalize on the changing American culture. But if they have any hopes of becoming profitable they have to control that operating expenses.
For 4.3k sats it’s worth a gamble to buy a few shares.
Here is the performance according to Simply Wall Street
It has been a rough start right out the gate but I don’t mind using my capital to support a company that follows my own beliefs. They are putting out a positive message as it pertains to Jesus and how to live a moral life based upon the ideals on which America was founded on.
Bull case:
Media and movies is a brutal industry but if they keep up with the high quality works they should be able to capitalize and bring value back to shareholders and because they hold Bitcoin they will have a chance to use that capital wisely to drive more growth.
Bear case:
They can’t control costs and fail to grow beyond being niche. They start to sell down their bitcoin to pay off debt or to fund projects that flop.

I had no idea they were public. If this was a few years ago I think I would have been more interested in the stock. But I think if Hollywood retreats from wokeness (and it seems like it is), then I think the competitive advantage of Angel Studios is going to diminish...
I agree. They would have been fine but their costs just exploded
That's too bad. I haven't really followed them much, but I hope it wasn't because they had some successes and then got overconfident.
