BofA update shows where active managers are putting money
NEW YORK - OFA Group (NASDAQ:OFAL), an integrated architecture and technology firm with a market capitalization of $29 million, rang the Nasdaq closing bell on Tuesday to celebrate its initial public offering from the previous quarter and announce the establishment of a digital asset treasury. The company’s stock, currently trading at $1.73, has experienced significant volatility, down over 63% year-to-date according to InvestingPro data.
The company has appointed Bitwise Asset Management to manage its new crypto treasury, which aims to diversify holdings and generate yield opportunities to provide working capital for operations and growth initiatives. With a current ratio of 1.95 and an InvestingPro Financial Health score labeled as "WEAK," the company faces challenges in maintaining operational efficiency.
"The establishment of our digital asset treasury positions us at the forefront of corporate treasury management, enabling us to harness the potential of crypto assets to generate yield and provide non-dilutive capital for strategic initiatives," said Thomas Gaffney, OFA’s COO, according to a company statement.
The digital asset strategy will support funding for OFA’s core business areas, including AI innovation in architecture, real estate development, and senior care infrastructure.
The company’s architectural AI initiatives include expanding PlanAid, which automates building code compliance, and launching a platform to generate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing blueprints from architectural layouts.
OFA Group provides architectural services through its wholly owned subsidiary, Office for Fine Architecture Limited, offering design and fit-out services for commercial and residential buildings.
