August 2025 - Treasure Runway Update
Following the unlocking of the ecofund and a significant reduction in operating costs, Treasure’s annual burn across USDC and $MAGIC has dropped from $11M to $3.4M, with a further decrease to $2.9M projected by October 2025 a 74% reduction. These improvements, alongside a strengthening market environment, have placed the DAO in a stronger financial position heading into the next phases of its growth.
As outlined in prior forum discussions, the Treasure core team remains committed to delivering clear, transparent, and frequent updates on the DAO’s treasury and financial runway. While the quarterly Transparency Report has provided important insights, we recognize that the current cadence falls short of community expectations for more timely information. In response, we are transitioning to a monthly update schedule to ensure greater visibility and alignment with community needs.
Treasure’s treasury is composed of both stable and volatile assets, each serving a distinct role in supporting the organization’s operations. To provide stakeholders with a transparent and realistic assessment of financial sustainability, we present separate runway forecasts for:
-
USDC and fiat-equivalents, which offer stable and immediately liquid funding for predictable, ongoing expenses.
-
MAGIC, which, while a valuable part of our treasury, is subject to market volatility and strategic constraints on liquidation.
By distinguishing between these two categories, we ensure that runway calculations are grounded in both operational certainty and market-aware flexibility, offering a more accurate, scenario-driven picture of Treasure’s financial health.
Spending projections are based on forecasted expenditure, giving a forward-looking view of Treasure’s financial position. This approach allows us to present the most accurate picture of organizational sustainability and long-term viability.
