Abacus Global Management Responds to False Short Report – Revenues Consistent with 20-Year Track Record
ORLANDO, Fla., June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abacus Global Management, Inc. ('Abacus' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: ABL), a leader in the alternative asset management space, today provided the following response to a false and misleading short attack.
Abacus has been buying and selling life insurance policies for over two decades with long-standing and trusted counter-party relationships. If Abacus used flawed data causing over-valuation of the underlying insurance product assets, the Company would be going out of business, not consistently producing positive realized returns. As highlighted in the first quarter 10-Q Abacus filed on May 8, 2025, Abacus realized gains of nearly 40% while deploying capital of 126 million. These realized gains were within a margin of error of 2% of the mark from the prior quarter.
"Our returns and valuation are audited, and consistent with a 20-year track record of generating positive revenue. This is a copy and paste of fiction from our largest competitor, who has been shopping this story for months. Our success and growth put a bullseye on us, that's fine – we are going to continue to grow,' said Jay Jackson, Chief Executive Officer at Abacus Global Management.
Abacus is highly regulated in nearly every state, and Abacus is the only top player in the category that is publicly traded, receiving higher scrutiny than our privately-held competitors.
Abacus will be producing a more detailed response to the inaccurate and false claims made by the short seller in the coming days.
Abacus is committed to pursuing all available legal remedies against the individuals and entities responsible for orchestrating and disseminating the false and misleading short attack.

Tesla's Energy Storage Business Is Quietly Growing at Triple-Digit Rates. Is This the Company's Next Growth Engine?
Tesla's energy division more than doubled its storage deployments in 2024, and triple-digit growth has continued this year. The company's energy business is becoming a core growth engine rather than a side project. Demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure is providing a lift to Tesla's energy storage sales. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › After years of being viewed as an intriguing side project, Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA) energy business is starting to look like the electric-car company's most underappreciated growth engine. In 2024, energy storage deployments surged, and gross profit from the segment hit new highs. And momentum hasn't slowed. Based on Tesla's first-quarter 2025 results, the division is on pace for another record-breaking year. For investors still focused solely on Tesla vehicles like its best-selling Model Y and flashy Cybertruck, it may be time to widen the lens. Tesla's energy business delivered stunning results in 2024. Total energy generation and storage revenue jumped 67% year over year to more than $10 billion. After deploying 14.7 gigawatt hours (GWh) of storage in 2023, Tesla more than doubled this figure to 31.4 GWh in 2024. Growth like this doesn't just spotlight demand -- it highlights exceptional product-market fit and suggests there's likely a long runway ahead. More importantly, Tesla's energy business, including both solar and energy storage sales, is becoming far more profitable. Energy segment gross profit reached $2.6 billion last year -- far more than the $1.1 billion it posted in 2023. For further context, Tesla's energy business generated less than $300 million in gross profit in 2022. The division has gone from a long-term moonshot bet to a viable earnings contributor in just a few years. Much of Tesla's momentum in its energy storage business comes from its Megapack product -- a grid-scale battery storage solution designed for utilities and large-scale commercial customers. The company is producing Megapacks at its dedicated Lathrop, California, facility, and recently started production at a second Megapack factory in Shanghai, with a target production of up to 40 GWh of capacity per year. Of course, Tesla also has a product for residential customers called Powerwall. Though Powerwall deployments are smaller than Megapack, the product's importance shouldn't be underestimated. "We achieved a fourth sequential record for Powerwall deployments," Tesla said in its first-quarter update in April, "crossing 1 GWh for the first time, and continue to be supply constrained." Speaking of Tesla's first-quarter momentum in energy storage, total energy storage deployment during the period skyrocketed 154% year over year to 10.4 GWh. Revenue from energy generation and storage grew 67% year over year to $2.7 billion. In its first-quarter update, Tesla attributed some of its massive growth to rising demand for artificial intelligence (AI). AI infrastructure is driving rapid load growth, which, along with traditional utility customer applications, is creating an outsized opportunity for our Energy storage products to stabilize the grid, shift energy when it is needed most and provide additional power capacity. Of course, investors still need to keep their expectations in check. Though Tesla is the most aggressive and scaled player in the space, there's a risk that a business like this becomes commoditized over time as other players ramp up their efforts in the space. Additionally, management said in its first-quarter update that the current tariff environment has a "relatively larger impact" on its energy business than it does on its automotive business. Still, Tesla's staggering momentum in the segment is hard to ignore. Investors have long been willing to give Tesla a premium valuation based on its disruptive potential. But in recent years, that bet has rested almost entirely on the company's vehicle business. Now, a second act is emerging. Tesla's energy division is growing rapidly, becoming more profitable, and gaining strategic importance. It's taking some pressure off Tesla's automotive business. If Tesla's energy business continues to scale at its current pace, it won't just be a "nice-to-have" division. It will be one of the company's most important growth levers.

Wall Street Legend Bets Against Strategy -- Says Bitcoin Investors Are Paying Double
Jim Chanos (Trades, Portfolio) is backwith a trade that's turning heads. The famed short-seller behind the Enron call is now targeting Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR), not for its crypto exposure, but because of it. On a recent podcast, Chanos laid out what he believes is one of the cleanest arbitrage setups he's seen in years: short MSTR, long Bitcoin (BTC-USD). His reasoning? At current prices, buying the stock is like paying $220,000 for Bitcoin that trades near $110,000. That's because MicroStrategy's share price still reflects a steep premium over the company's actual Bitcoin holdings, even after the spread has started to narrow. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 8 Warning Signs with MSTR. It's not just Chanos. Hedge funds have been circling this trade since MicroStrategy transformed itself into a kind of Bitcoin-holding company. Fueled by Michael Saylor's capital-raising spree, the firm has used equity and convertible debt to amass billions in BTC. Retail investors followed, helping push the stock far beyond its net asset value. While some bulls argue that leverage and zero-fee exposure justify the premium, skeptics are betting that rising dilution and tighter spreads will eventually bring the valuation back to earth. According to Bloomberg data, when factoring in dilution and stripping out the firm's legacy software business, MSTR is still trading at nearly double the value of its underlying crypto assets. Not everyone is jumping in. Firms like Kerrisdale promoted the trade in early 2024 but have since stepped away, citing timing challenges. TD Cowen analyst Lance Vitanza, meanwhile, believes the premium might persistthanks to Bitcoin-per-share growth and MicroStrategy's unique structure. For now, the short side is cheap to maintain, with borrow costs still low and liquidity deep. But risks remain: unexpected corporate shifts, volatile BTC moves, or changes in short dynamics could all shake up the math. Chanos remains focused on the long game, saying the spread could compress meaningfully over timebut even he acknowledges this one's better suited for hedge funds than personal portfolios.
