Eighteen Months In

Sohail Prasad · Founder & CEO · D/XYZ

Investors,

Eighteen months ago we listed DXYZ on the NYSE with a simple premise: let anyone invest in late-stage private tech, with the protections and liquidity of the public markets.

The response has been remarkable. In our first month of trading, demand for DXYZ drove the premium to NAV to over 2,000% – shattering the previous stock market record of 1,235%1. Since listing, our NAV has also grown from $4.84 to $11.37 (an increase of 135%) on exceptional volume (~$50M in avg. volume traded daily over the past year)2. The public’s reception and the market’s consistent demand speak to the value of what we’ve unlocked.

When we launched, we had 23 companies in the portfolio. We’re building toward 100 of the top venture-backed private companies and received effectiveness on our shelf registration in July, giving us the flexibility to raise another $1B in capital to invest opportunistically.

Now, Destiny is actively deploying capital across unicorn companies. We have ~$70M in cash and closed two new investments in September. If you know founders raising late-stage rounds or early investors/employees who need liquidity, feel free to introduce them directly via email (future@destiny.xyz).

The model works, the liquidity is real, and we’re scaling fast. If there are specific companies you think we should be looking at, let us know here or on X (mention $DXYZ).

Thanks for being a part of the journey! More to come soon.

Best,

Sohail Prasad
