Empery Digital Inc (OTC: EMPD) is a digital assets and powersports company in transition, holding Bitcoin on its balance sheet while winding down its electric vehicle product operations. The company generated product revenue from the sale of electric off-road vehicles, specifically the Grunt EVO and Brat e-bike models, through a third-party manufacturing and dealer distribution model. In October 2025, Empery Digital divested the Volcon brand and its four-wheel vehicle intellectual property to Venom Motor Co. via an asset purchase agreement, retaining a non-dilutable 10% equity stake in Venom's reorganized entity and ongoing warranty obligations for previously sold vehicles. Post-divestiture, the company plans to generate revenue through vehicle inventory financing, specifically funding golf cart and UTV purchases by Venom and other dealers, earning income from the spread between its cost of capital and interest charged. Digital asset holdings, including Bitcoin, are a core balance sheet position subject to evolving U.S. and global regulation. Cost of goods sold for FY2025 was $1,337,595, down sharply from $17,987,951 in FY2024, reflecting the contraction of vehicle sales activity.
