NEW YORK, Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SuRo Capital Corp. ("SuRo Capital", the "Company", "we", "us", and "our") (Nasdaq: SSSS) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Net assets totaled approximately $231.8 million, or $9.23 per share, at September 30, 2025, as compared to $9.18 per share ($8.93 per share dividend-adjusted), at June 30, 2025 and $6.73 per share ($6.48 per share dividend-adjusted) at September 30, 2024.

"Our record second quarter growth was driven by broad recognition of the value created by AI and AI infrastructure companies, and that momentum carried into the third quarter," said Mark Klein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SuRo Capital. "Building on this strength, our Board of Directors declared an additional cash dividend of $0.25 per share, supported by realized gains from CoreWeave and other portfolio liquidity events. Our recent distributions reflect the continued strength of our holdings and our commitment to delivering consistent value through disciplined realizations and reinvestment."

Mr. Klein further emphasized, "OpenAI's recent restructuring marks a major milestone for one of the most transformative technology companies of our time. By simplifying its capital structure and strengthening its ability to raise capital at scale, OpenAI is extremely well positioned to lead the next wave of AI infrastructure and innovation. Through SuRo Capital, investors gain access to category-defining companies driving this transformation led by OpenAI, one of our largest positions and the second-largest investment in SuRo Capital's history."

"We remain focused on identifying and investing in the next generation of category-defining companies," Klein added. "In September, we invested $5 million into HL Digital Assets, Inc., a company investing in HYPE, the digital token of Hyperliquid. Hyperliquid is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange designed to enable fast, transparent, and secure digital asset trading—reflecting our continued conviction in the expanding digital infrastructure opportunity set."

"As we look ahead, we remain focused on generating value for our shareholders by maintaining our conviction-driven, research-led approach and backing the next era of transformative companies shaping the future of innovation," Mr. Klein concluded.
