SEGG Media initiates CUSIP change to combat alleged short selling

FORT WORTH, Texas - SEGG Media Corporation (NASDAQ:SEGG, LTRYW), formerly known as Lottery.com Inc., announced Wednesday it is initiating a CUSIP number change following its recent corporate rebrand. The company, currently valued at $31.5 million, stated this action aims to protect shareholders and address concerns about illicit trading activity allegedly targeting the firm. According to InvestingPro data, SEGG stock has shown significant volatility, with a 143.8% gain year-to-date despite recent pullbacks.

The CUSIP change follows SEGG Media’s corporate rebrand and strategic overhaul that saw the company begin trading under the ticker symbol "SEGG" earlier this month. The measure is part of what the company describes as a broader effort to modernize its market identity and strengthen protections against short selling practices. The company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 61%, though InvestingPro analysis indicates its current ratio of 0.52 suggests some liquidity challenges.

"The company is continuing to work closely with its outside counsel, Paul Hastings LLP, to investigate and pursue potential illegal market activity, including the use of naked short selling," said Christopher Gooding, Independent Director of SEGG Media and member of the Audit Committee, according to the press release.

SEGG Media, which operates digital assets including Sports.com and Lottery.com, focuses on fan engagement, gaming and AI-driven experiences. The company indicated the CUSIP change represents the next step in its transition from Lottery.com to SEGG Media.

The announcement comes after SEGG Media filed a Form 8-K on July 7, 2025, which contains additional information about the company’s transition and strategic direction.
