S&P 500 slips, but losses kept in check as Nvidia climbs ahead of results
WINTER PARK, Florida - SRM Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRM), whose stock has surged over 1,400% in the past six months according to InvestingPro data, announced Wednesday it is changing its corporate name to Tron Inc. and will begin trading under the new ticker symbol "TRON" on the Nasdaq Capital Market effective July 17, 2025.
The company, currently valued at approximately $120 million, said the name change reflects its strategic shift to become a TRON (TRX) treasury strategy company. The CUSIP number will remain unchanged at 85237B101.
"This transition marks a pivotal moment in our corporate strategy to enhance long-term value through Tron treasury management," said Rich Miller, CEO of the company, according to the press release.
The company claims to be the largest publicly traded corporate holder of TRX tokens, currently holding more than 365 million TRX. It noted that its share price has increased since announcing the Tron treasury strategy.
Founded in 2017, the TRON blockchain supports smart contracts and decentralized applications, with the press release stating it hosts approximately $81.7 billion in US dollar stablecoins as of July 13, 2025.
Despite the name change, the company will maintain its original business through a wholly owned subsidiary that designs and manufactures custom merchandise for theme parks and entertainment venues, including products for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Universal Parks and Destinations, and other attractions. InvestingPro analysis indicates the company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 3.66, though revenue declined 22.63% in the last twelve months.
