Trust Stamp: quarterlies, annuals, SEC actions

Nov 28, 2024 – There is concern within Trust Stamp that the company will not be able to continue its operations for long without an influx of cash.

Trust Stamp reports a net loss in its first three fiscal quarters of 2024 of $4.59 million, on revenues of $0.5 million in the past quarter and $1.6 million over the three previous quarters. Its subsidiary in Malta has not signed any revenue-generating contracts, four years after inception.

The company is already working to raise funds, and notes in an SEC filing that it has done so successfully in the past. Talks have not reached a stage yet where anything is guaranteed, however.

As of September 30, 2024, the company had accumulated a deficit of $55.45 million, with a working capital of negative $1.45 million.

Trust Stamp continued to add to its intellectual property portfolio during the first three quarters of 2024, with 6 patents issued related to biometrics or cryptography.

Trust Stamp alleges possible illegal short selling

Aug 25, 2023 – Executives with biometric ID firm Trust Stamp suspect its shares are being depressed in value by naked short selling.

In naked short selling, or naked shorting, the shares of a company are sold without first borrowing the shares or at least confirming that the share exist. The practice, which drives down the price of a company’s stock, is largely illegal.

It’s largely illegal because federal lawmakers fashioned equity trading laws after the 2008 financial crisis that left open some loopholes.

Short selling itself is legal but infuriating to management and some investors. It is when an investor borrows a security and sells it on a stock market, fully expecting to buy it back for later at a discount.

Trust Stamp alleges that a large percentage of its trading volume has come in the form of short selling.

The company is working with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Department of Justice, Nasdaq and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority to stop the practice and punish those involved.
