- Closure date: May 22, 2025
- Impact: Sale reduced the scope of the core safety alarm business and contributed to lower 2026 revenue and a net loss for the year
New venture: Universal DeFi LLC (formed July 2025)
Purpose: Diversify the company's business through two lines of activity.
- Tokenization platform
- Intended to onboard issuers and tokenize assets; platform not yet operational
- Planned services may include onboarding due diligence (KYC/AML) for issuers; issuer generally retains control of tokens after issuance
- Platform design includes multi-party computation for security and third-party disaster recovery
- Universal DeFi does not currently intend to act as broker, custodian, market maker, or asset issuer; regulatory exposure will depend on jurisdiction and asset type
- Holder-level KYC/AML is not currently planned to be performed by Universal DeFi
- Ault Node operations on the Ault Blockchain (node/validator operations)
- Universal DeFi acquired and operates licensed nodes and a validator on the Ault Blockchain
- Network framework: Ault Blockchain is a Layer 1 network; validators stake AULT Tokens; Licensed Mining Nodes perform off-chain work (verifiable randomness) and earn emissions
- Universal DeFi began limited operations and has earned tokens, but has not recorded material revenue from token emissions
- Ault DAO LLC (an affiliate of Hyperscale Data) is the legal/organizational entity behind the Ault Blockchain
- Governance: Each Node License confers one governance vote; total licenses capped at 1,000,000; node licenses non-transferable for two years
- Universal DeFi ownership/participation: owned approximately 425 million AULT tokens as of July 1, 2026
- Revenue sharing: As of June 30, 2026, Universal DeFi entered a Revenue Sharing Agreement with Ault Capital Group (authorized agent for Ault DAO LLC)
- Universal DeFi will pay a 25% share of net proceeds to Ault Capital Group; Universal DeFi retains 75%
- Net proceeds are defined as net cash, cryptocurrency, stablecoins, and other proceeds actually received from token sales and rewards after transaction fees
- Cumulative cap on Ault Capital Group’s receipts: $93,750,000
- Node operation and validator maintenance currently handled by an affiliate; costs borne by the affiliate; a managed services agreement is under negotiation
Revenue model and current status of Universal DeFi
- Tokenization platform: expected revenue sources include onboarding fees, token-related fees, ongoing platform charges, and ancillary services (e.g., identity verification tools)
- Node/validator operations: expected to generate emissions-based token rewards and a share of network transaction fees and staking rewards; tokens currently have no stated market value and have not generated material revenue to date
- Universal DeFi operations and token activities are subject to evolving regulatory and market risk
Operational and workforce details
- Employees (as of March 31, 2026): 7 full-time employees in the U.S.
- 5 in sales and marketing; 2 in general administration and finance
- Demographics: approximately 43% female, 57% male
- Average tenure: 21 years (up from 19 years as of March 31, 2025)
Import, manufacturing and supply chain
- All products are imported; import tariffs can be substantial (example: 25% on certain items)
- Primary supplier: Eyston (PRC), historically the dominant supplier
Backlog and order status
- Backlog decreased from $2,142,000 (2025) to $0 (2026), driven largely by the Feit asset sale
Market position and competition
- Competes in the smoke/CO alarm market with First Alert and Walter Kidde Portable Equipment, Inc.
- Competes in the broader electrical devices market with other manufacturers
Tariffs and geopolitical considerations
- Tariffs and currency fluctuations affect input costs and supply-chain stability; dependence on imports from China remains high
Key operational note
- Following the Feit asset sale, the company is focused on importing and marketing non-alarm product lines and developing its Universal DeFi initiatives. The DeFi venture has incurred losses to date and will require additional capital to reach profitability.
