Key Financial Highlights
Treasury
- Current Treasury holdings total $71.27M, which is largely composed of MAGIC, ARB, SMOL and Stablecoin Holdings.
- Stablecoins make up 12.89% of the total (market value) treasury holdings.
MAGIC Update
Throughout Q3 2024, MAGIC continued its downward trend, starting at $0.61 in June and hitting a low of $0.33 in August. This marked an extension of the broader price decline seen earlier in the year. However, by the end of September, the token showed some recovery, closing the quarter at $0.38. This slight rebound towards the end of the quarter suggests renewed market interest, potentially driven by partnerships within the Treasure ecosystem and efforts to diversify treasury holdings.
Revenue
- Total revenue generated in Q3 is $53,554. Broken down into Marketplace fees of $36,813, Ingame revenue of $13,502 and the Magicswap revenue stream generated $3,235.
- Revenue has seen a decrease of 58%. This is mainly due to a decrease in volume throughout the quarter, especially In marketplace fees which saw a 39% reduction from last quarter. Furthermore a weakening of MAGIC since June in $ terms resulted in lower $ growth in fees. It is important to see growth in volume as ultimately this is a more meaningful metric than $ flows which are highly volatile to MAGIC price.
- Q3 has however underperformed against Q2 as a result of MAGIC price being on a downward trend.
Expenses
- Expenses totaled $2.731m for Q3 which was a 41% increase from Q2 (excluding Crypto gain/Loss).
- The top expenditures are related to the Management Service Charge and Human Capital Costs. TreasureDAO has several relationships at an arm’s length with various service companies and is charged a management service fee assessed by a managing company for the services provided to maintain, administer, or oversee an organisation.
- Human Capital costs remain one of the largest expenses for the organisation.
- Total Liquidity and Mining Emissions for Q3 were $12,6k. The cost has significantly reduced from Q2. The MAGIC emissions are seeded annually in a single transaction. This is consistent with the decrease seen since Q1 2024.
Runway
In the context of this analysis, the total assets encompass stablecoin holdings and MAGIC holdings that are not earmarked for specific use cases. To clarify, assets like those allocated for contributor vesting packages are excluded, as the sole intention of such wallets is to fund contributor vesting arrangements.
The monthly expenditure is calculated using a 3-month moving average to help smooth out short-term fluctuations and provide a more stable and representative view of spending patterns. The Runway is calculated as follows for each asset: Total Asset Holding at end of month / 3-month moving average expenditure in USDC and MAGIC The chart in Figure 18 displays the total holdings runway when taking into account stablecoins and MAGIC, which is 12 months at the end of June. You can find a more detailed insight into runway per the top two major assets of MAGIC & USDC within the report.
