Software and venture firm Animoca Brands generated $573 million in revenue over the first four months of 2022. 

The results for the investor in NBA Top Shot and Fan Controlled Football were driven by its diverse portfolio of investments and the sale of NFTs, including those on the secondary market. 

  • Animoca Brands holds digital assets reserves of roughly $4.2 billion.
  • The company had a cash balance of $98 million for the first four months of 2022.
  • Over the past seven months, the company has generated $721 million in revenue

The company also announced a series of acquisitions during the four-month period. 

In February, the company acquired indie game developer Grease Monkey Games. Two months later, it agreed to purchase 70% of Paris-based game developer Darewise Entertainment, which included “Need for Speed” developer Eden Games after Darewise purchased the racing game studio in the same month.
