SINGAPORE - Amber International Holding Limited (NASDAQ:AMBR), an institutional crypto financial services provider currently valued at $524 million, released a shareholder letter Thursday from CEO Michael Wu outlining the company’s strategic direction six months after its public listing. The company’s shares have declined over 55% year-to-date, and according to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears overvalued at current levels.
Wu described Amber International as "Asia’s trusted digital wealth and crypto financial services platform" serving elite investors including family offices and institutions. The company operates under the brand name "Amber Premium." While the company maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 1.13 and more cash than debt on its balance sheet, InvestingPro data shows it has yet to achieve profitability in the last twelve months.
The CEO outlined a two-pronged strategy focusing on "AI for Crypto" and "Crypto for AI." The first approach involves applying AI technologies to enhance the company’s financial services, while the second positions cryptocurrency as "the native currency for the coming AI agent economy."
"Even though Amber is now eight years old, and Amber International is a Nasdaq-listed company, we remain, at our core, a start-up," Wu wrote, emphasizing the company’s commitment to maintaining an innovative mindset while embracing public company governance standards.
The letter introduced the leadership team, including President Vicky Wang, Chief Product Officer Yi Bao, VP of Engineering Alex Zhang, and CFO Josephine Ngai, along with the company’s board of directors.
Amber International, a subsidiary of Amber Group which was founded in 2017, describes itself as combining "a private-banking experience with cutting-edge technology infrastructure and exclusive access to digital asset opportunities."
The company’s shareholder letter contains forward-looking statements subject to various risks and uncertainties, including regulatory challenges, cryptocurrency price fluctuations, and market liquidity concerns. Investors should note that AMBR’s next earnings report is scheduled for August 27, just six days away.
