Prestige Wealth Business Summary

Aurelion Inc. (formerly Prestige Wealth Inc.) operates as a specialized digital wealth management firm and is recognized as the first Nasdaq-listed entity to implement a Tether Gold (XAU₮) Real World Asset (RWA) treasury model. The company generates revenue through a hybrid structure consisting of traditional wealth management referral fees, asset management services for high-net-worth individuals in Asia, and its strategic "Aurelion Treasury" initiative, which manages a significant reserve of tokenized gold. Following a major strategic pivot in late 2025, the firm now focuses on the growth of tokenized assets and AI-driven wealth solutions, leveraging its $134 million initial purchase of XAU₮ to provide investors with a gold-backed digital safe haven. Direct competitors in the small-cap financial services and fintech space include Lesaka Technologies (LSAK), Jiayin Group (JFIN), and LINKBANCORP (LNKB), with Aurelion positioning itself as a pioneer in the intersection of regulated equity markets and on-chain commodity reserves. The company’s leadership is currently spearheaded by CEO Björn Schmidtke, a McKinsey & Company alumnus and veteran Bitcoin mining executive who succeeded Kazuho Komoda during the 2025 restructuring. Governance is heavily influenced by anchor investor Antalpha Platform Holding Company (NASDAQ: ANTA), which provided a $100 million private placement (PIPE) to fund the treasury transition; consequently, Antalpha’s founder and CEO, Moore Jin Xin, serves as Chairman of the Board alongside Herman Yu, Antalpha’s Head of Strategy. The executive team is further supported by Chief Accounting Officer Hattie He, a licensed CPA with over 20 years of SEC reporting experience who joined in January 2026, and Wei Gao, who leads the Private Wealth Management division. This institutional backing from Antalpha and Tether Investments underscores the firm’s strategic alignment with the broader digital asset and stablecoin ecosystem.
