AtlasClear Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: ATCH) (“AtlasClear” or the “Company”), a company building regulated financial infrastructure for smaller institutions, fintechs and advisors, today announced select preliminary unaudited financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

Revenue

Based on preliminary unaudited results, AtlasClear expects to report fiscal 2026 total revenues of approximately $20.1 million, an increase of approximately 85% from $10.9 million in fiscal 2025. The Company also expects to report interest income of approximately $1.8 million, which is presented in other income under GAAP. Total revenues plus interest income are expected to be approximately $21.9 million, compared with approximately $12.9 million in fiscal 2025, an increase of approximately 70%. The separate audited financial statements of the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary, AtlasClearing, Inc., for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, filed with the SEC on August 31, 2026, present interest income within revenues and report total revenues of approximately $21.8 million.

Growth came from both the core commission business and newer business lines. Commission revenue increased approximately 56% to approximately $9.3 million. Stock locate fees, a business the Company launched and scaled during fiscal 2026, increased to approximately $6.8 million from approximately $0.3 million and represented approximately 34% of total revenues. Net gains on firm trading accounts contributed approximately $0.5 million. As a result, commission revenue grew in absolute dollars while declining from approximately 55% of total revenues in fiscal 2025 to approximately 46% in fiscal 2026, and non-commission revenue lines represented approximately 54% of the total.

Profitability and Balance Sheet

The Company expects to report net income of approximately $2.0 million for fiscal 2026, its second consecutive year of positive net income, which includes non-cash gains from changes in the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. At June 30, 2026, the Company expects to report cash and cash equivalents of approximately $15.4 million, more than double the $7.5 million a year earlier; total stockholders’ equity of approximately $21.1 million, compared with a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $6.8 million at June 30, 2025; and total liabilities of approximately $50.1 million, a reduction of approximately $17.6 million.

Net capital at AtlasClearing, Inc. increased to approximately $14.4 million at June 30, 2026 from $11.2 million a year earlier, as reported in AtlasClearing’s audited annual report filed with the SEC. That is approximately $14.1 million above its minimum requirement and well above the $10 million excess net capital threshold that the National Securities Clearing Corporation requires of firms that clear for introducing brokers. Net capital is stated after deducting unsecured receivables from other broker-dealers for stock locate fees, which are treated as non-allowable assets until collected and have grown with the stock locate business.

Correspondent Pipeline and Capital Discipline

AtlasClearing has signed clearing agreements with six new correspondent broker-dealers, which are in various stages of onboarding and conversion. Fiscal 2026 results include no meaningful revenue from these relationships, which the Company expects to begin contributing as conversions are completed during fiscal 2027.

Fiscal 2026 growth was achieved without reliance on at-the-market or equity line financing. The Company sold no shares under its equity line facility during fiscal 2026 and has not conducted any at-the-market offering or other dilutive capital raise since its October 2025 institutional unit financing. Shares outstanding were approximately 150.3 million at June 30, 2026 and approximately 151.8 million as of the date of this release.

Management Commentary

“Fiscal 2026 was a breakout year for AtlasClear. Revenue increased approximately 85% to roughly $20.1 million, and including interest income the business generated approximately $21.9 million,” said John Schaible, Executive Chairman of AtlasClear Holdings. “Just as important is how we got there. More than half of our revenue now comes from lines of business that barely existed two years ago, and we did it without an at-the-market program or an equity line. We finished the year with more than twice the cash, stockholders’ equity of more than $21 million, and a stronger broker-dealer. That is the foundation we intend to build on as we continue to pursue our bank strategy, and we look forward to updating shareholders in greater detail on our full-year results and operations later this month.”

“The operating story at AtlasClearing is one of execution,” said Craig Ridenhour, President of AtlasClear Holdings and Chairman of AtlasClearing, Inc. “Commissions grew more than 50%, stock locate went from a standing start to nearly $7 million, and net capital finished the year up more than $3 million. Six new correspondents have signed and none of their revenue is in these numbers yet. As those correspondents onboard, the customer assets and trading activity they bring will give us the ability to scale our stock loan business and to add new forms of interest income, including on margin balances, customer cash and securities lending, on the platform and team we already have in place, with only incremental expense.”

Preliminary Results

The preliminary financial results included in this release have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, the Company’s management. These results are preliminary and unaudited and are subject to completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures and audit. Actual results may differ from the preliminary results presented above, and any such differences could be material. These preliminary results should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s full audited consolidated financial statements. Total revenues plus interest income, as used in this release, is a supplemental measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. It is the sum of total revenues and interest income, each as the Company expects to report them in its consolidated statement of operations, and is presented because interest earned on balances held by the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary is an integral part of its operating economics. It should not be considered a substitute for total revenues determined in accordance with GAAP.

Fiscal 2026 Results and Conference Call

AtlasClear expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 and report its full fiscal 2026 financial results by September 28, 2026. The Company also expects to host a conference call to discuss its fiscal 2026 results by September 28, 2026. Additional details regarding the conference call will be provided in advance.

London, United Kingdom — Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the way people interact with technology, while blockchain continues to reshape how digital assets and financial applications are built. At the intersection of these two industries, a new approach to automated trading is gaining attention through FET Earn, an AI-focused decentralized trading system associated with London-based technology professional John Finser.

The idea behind FET Earn comes from a simple but increasingly important question: can artificial intelligence do more than analyze information and instead become an active part of a decentralized trading system?

John Finser’s work in the AI and blockchain space has contributed to the development of this concept. His professional experience with the FET ecosystem gave him exposure to the rapidly developing relationship between artificial intelligence, blockchain infrastructure, and autonomous technologies.

That experience helped shape the vision behind FET Earn.

What Is FET Earn?

FET Earn is designed as an AI-powered decentralized trading system that combines artificial intelligence, algorithmic trading, blockchain technology, and smart contracts.

The objective is to create a system where automated trading operations can work through decentralized smart-contract infrastructure rather than relying entirely on traditional centralized platforms.

At the heart of the FET Earn concept is an AI-driven algorithm designed to automate trading-related activities. Users interact with the smart-contract environment, while the system is designed to manage the automated trading process according to its underlying technology and programmed logic.

This approach places FET Earn within a growing area of blockchain development where AI is being explored not simply as a data-analysis tool, but as part of the operating layer of decentralized applications.

The Story Behind FET Earn

The development of FET Earn is closely connected with John Finser, whose background in AI and blockchain technology played an important role in shaping the project’s direction.

Finser’s experience with FET provided an opportunity to work around technologies focused on artificial intelligence and decentralized networks. That exposure helped him understand both the potential and the challenges involved in bringing AI capabilities into blockchain-based systems.

Rather than stopping at existing AI applications, the next step was to explore how the same technological principles could be applied to decentralized trading.

This became the foundation for FET Earn.

The project is built around the idea that automated intelligence and decentralized infrastructure can work together to create a different kind of digital-asset trading environment.

John Finser: The Technology Vision Behind FET Earn

For FET Earn, technology is not simply an additional feature. It is the foundation of the entire concept.

John Finser is associated with the development and vision of the FET Earn system, bringing experience from the AI and blockchain sector to a project focused on automated decentralized trading.

His professional connection with the FET ecosystem is particularly relevant to the project’s story because FET has become closely associated with artificial intelligence and blockchain-based autonomous technologies.

That experience helped provide a practical understanding of how AI concepts can be connected with decentralized infrastructure.

With FET Earn, the focus moves toward a more specific use case: using AI-driven automation in a decentralized trading environment.

How FET Earn’s AI Trading Concept Works

The technology behind FET Earn combines several components that work together.

The first component is the decentralized smart contract. Smart contracts provide the framework through which programmed operations can be executed on blockchain infrastructure.

The second component is the AI trading algorithm. The system is designed to use algorithmic logic and AI-based automation to handle trading-related operations.

The third component is the digital asset layer, where the underlying token and liquidity mechanism form part of the trading environment.

In the proposed FET Earn model, users can deposit FET into the relevant smart-contract structure, with the system designed to use automated trading mechanisms around that deposited asset.

The intention is to reduce the need for users to manually manage every trading decision and instead introduce an automated mechanism driven by the project’s algorithms.

Why AI Matters to FET Earn

AI has already become one of the most discussed technologies in the blockchain industry. However, much of the conversation has focused on AI applications, AI agents, and data analysis.

FET Earn takes the concept in another direction by exploring how AI automation can be integrated into decentralized financial activity.

Instead of asking users to constantly monitor charts and make individual trading decisions, the system is designed around automated processes.

This is where the combination of AI and smart contracts becomes important.

Smart contracts provide the decentralized execution layer, while AI and algorithmic technology are intended to provide the automated decision-making and trading functionality.

The result is a model focused on bringing automation directly into the decentralized environment.

FET Earn and the Future of Automated Trading

The cryptocurrency market operates around the clock. Unlike traditional financial markets, digital-asset markets do not follow a standard five-day trading schedule.

For traders and investors, this creates an obvious challenge: continuously monitoring the market is difficult.

Automated trading systems have therefore become an important part of the digital-asset industry.

FET Earn is designed to address this challenge through AI-powered automation.

The system’s objective is to allow trading processes to operate through programmed algorithms and smart contracts, creating an environment where automation can play a larger role in digital-asset management.

While automated systems cannot remove market risk, the technology can potentially make the trading process more systematic and less dependent on constant manual intervention.

The Role of FET in the FET Earn Ecosystem

The relationship between FET and FET Earn is an important part of the project’s technology story.

FET is widely recognized in the blockchain industry for its connection with artificial intelligence, autonomous agents, and decentralized AI infrastructure. This makes the FET ecosystem a relevant technological reference point when discussing the development of new AI-based blockchain applications.

FET Earn builds its own concept around this broader technological direction, with a particular focus on decentralized trading and AI automation.

The use of FET within the proposed trading model creates a direct connection between the digital asset and the automated system.

This gives FET Earn a clear focus: creating an AI-powered environment where FET can be used within a decentralized trading mechanism.

A Different Direction for Blockchain-Based AI

The blockchain industry has evolved significantly from its early focus on simple digital transactions.

Today, developers are working on decentralized finance, smart contracts, autonomous agents, artificial intelligence, and increasingly sophisticated automated applications.

FET Earn sits within this wider evolution.

Its focus is not simply on creating another crypto platform. Instead, the project is centered around the development of a technology model that brings together AI algorithms and decentralized smart contracts for automated trading.

For John Finser, the project represents an extension of his experience in the AI and blockchain industry and an opportunity to develop a system focused on practical automation.

John Finser’s Vision for FET Earn

The central vision behind FET Earn is to make AI automation a functional part of decentralized trading.

John Finser’s experience with AI-focused blockchain technology helped establish the foundation for this direction. His work around the FET ecosystem provided exposure to the development of decentralized AI technologies, while FET Earn takes that experience toward an application focused on automated digital-asset trading.

The broader goal is to develop a system where blockchain provides transparency and decentralized execution, while AI provides the intelligence and automation required for trading operations.

It is this combination that defines the identity of FET Earn.

What Comes Next for FET Earn?

The AI and blockchain industries are still developing, and the possibilities for combining the two technologies continue to expand.

For FET Earn, future development can focus on improving AI-based algorithms, strengthening smart-contract infrastructure, expanding automation capabilities, and exploring additional applications within decentralized finance.

As AI agents and autonomous systems become increasingly sophisticated, projects such as FET Earn are part of a broader movement toward automated blockchain applications.

The long-term potential lies in creating technology that can operate with less manual intervention while maintaining the advantages of decentralized infrastructure.
