[UPDATES] DAO Financial Report - December 2023

Overview

As we get close to wrapping up 2023’s financials, this month’s financial report on November financials is delightfully boring. Surprise expenditures are down, and we’re remaining under budget for many of our line-items.

Our treasury has shown growth, increasing from $47,340,348 to $47,657,51 fueled by a 2.61% increase in the value of GTC tokens. Despite the operational expenses totaling $622,792, this growth in our treasury holdings signifies effective financial stewardship and a robust fiscal strategy.

At a Glance

  • Last month’s Treasury Holdings: $47,340,348
  • Current Treasury Holdings: $47,657,512
    • This includes both stablecoin and GTC holdings
    • In this reporting period, the variance (+$317,163, 0.67%) is mostly due to the positive impact of a 2.61% increase in the price of GTC token holdings, as well as the monthly Operating Expenses across all workstreams (-$622,792).
