About APX™ Corporation

APX™ Corporation, operating globally as APX Group™, is an international, multi-national investment company that has fundamentally redefined media financing. Through majority ownership of, and Joint Ventures with, a global network of studios, post-production facilities, and specialized service providers, APX has built an integrated ecosystem for the media and entertainment universe. Headquartered with a central entity in Delaware, USA, and a strategic office in New York, the Group commands a minimum of 50% ownership in all its divisions across Europe and the world. This structure is not merely a corporate configuration; it is the engine of a new financial paradigm designed to reshape the entire landscape of how entertainment is funded, produced, and monetized. This unique ownership model, comprised of a consortium of the very studios and facilities it utilizes, provides APX with an unparalleled strategic advantage, integrating the entire production value chain under a single, synergistic umbrella and eliminating the friction and inefficiencies inherent in traditional, fragmented production models.

Our Core Mission & Philosophy

The APX Group™ fundamentally revolutionizes media and entertainment financing by utilizing its own vast infrastructure of studios, facilities, and service providers as a form of currency for its investments. In essence, APX Group™ "weaponizes" its business organs—its divisions, subsidiaries, and extensive network of ownership and Joint Ventures—and transforms them into a unified, powerful investment bank. The core business logic is both simple and profound: when APX grants financing through its network for a fair market price, the actual hard cost of that investment is only about 30% of its market value. This hard cost is then comprehensively covered, guaranteed, and secured by the robust tax credit programs offered by governments in every territory where the APX network operates. This pioneering practice allows APX Group™ to grant unprecedented levels of financing to the creative industries while being fully guaranteed on its hard costs, creating a uniquely de-risked and highly scalable investment model that is unparalleled in the industry. This model turns production services into a financial instrument, creating value and opportunity where traditional models see only cost, and allowing creators to focus on their vision rather than on complex, piecemeal financing.

Vision for the Future

Our vision is to empower filmmakers and content creators worldwide by providing consistent, innovative financial solutions and unparalleled access to an expanding global production network. APX™ strives to be the leading partner in the ongoing evolution of media and entertainment, continually expanding its network to enhance financial flexibility and offer a diverse range of services to the global creative community. A key part of this vision is the development of an autonomous monetary structure, powered by technologies like APXCOIN™, designed to reduce friction, increase transparency, and unlock novel monetization pathways for intellectual property. The ultimate, ambitious goal is to establish a significant presence in every country that offers attractive tax credits and possesses high-quality production infrastructure. By doing so, we will effectively transform each nation into a powerful, self-sustaining investment arm of the global APX Group™ network, creating a truly decentralized and democratized future for entertainment finance where creative merit and financial viability are seamlessly aligned.

Business & Operations

APX™ Corporation's operational framework is a sophisticated synergy of a global physical footprint, a diversified service model, and a forward-thinking decentralized digital ecosystem. The company strategically engages in multiple high-growth sectors within the creative industries, ensuring a comprehensive and resilient approach to the media and entertainment market. This structure is not just a collection of assets, but a living, interconnected system where each component enhances the value of the others, creating powerful network effects and significant barriers to entry for competitors. This section delves into the core pillars of APX's™ operational strengths, from its targeted industry focus and unique ecosystem to its major funding partnerships and robust financial performance.

Industries & Verticals Focus

APX's™ activities are deliberately diversified across high-growth sectors of the media landscape. This strategy ensures a balanced portfolio and cultivates multiple, independent revenue streams, shielding the company from volatility in any single market segment. While our primary focus is on providing B2B services to the industry—leveraging our vast infrastructure network—we maintain a strong and growing presence in direct-to-content creation and financing. This dual approach allows us to not only service the industry but also to capture significant value across the entire production lifecycle, from intellectual property acquisition to global distribution. Our focus on impact investing further differentiates us, allowing us to tap into a growing market for content that is both commercially viable and socially conscious.

The APX™ Ecosystem & Approach

APX's™ core strategy revolves around its powerful, decentralized ecosystem, which is meticulously designed to streamline complex processes for the entertainment industry. A key component is its partnership with Decentralized Pictures (DCP), a groundbreaking platform that enables filmmakers to finance and distribute their movies directly. Our key offerings represent a paradigm shift in how entertainment is made and financed, moving beyond traditional constraints to a more integrated and efficient model. This ecosystem is a closed loop, where each service provided strengthens the network and enhances the value proposition for the next creator, fostering a self-reinforcing cycle of growth and innovation.

  • Holistic Investment: We provide comprehensive, across-the-board investments in film and TV projects, covering every stage from initial development to final distribution. This end-to-end approach ensures quality control and financial oversight from script to screen.
  • Global Studio Network: Our ever-expanding network of owned and partner studios (including 50% ownership in the iconic Twickenham Studios and the acclaimed Spring Films) allows for optimized production schedules, significant cost efficiencies, and unmatched global reach.
  • Unmatched Financial Flexibility: We offer a wide array of financial products tailored to diverse creative needs, from straightforward debt financing and gap financing to complex, multi-territory equity partnerships, ensuring every viable project can find a home.
  • Positive Community Impact: We are deeply committed to fostering job creation and local economic advancement in the regions where we operate, building a sustainable and collaborative professional ecosystem that benefits both our productions and the local communities.

Key Funding Partnerships

To power its ambitious investment and production slate, APX™ has secured significant, long-term funding commitments totaling over €3 Billion. These strategic partnerships provide a stable, long-term capital base, insulating our projects from the inherent volatility of the open market and ensuring consistent operational capacity. These are not just lines of credit; they are deep, strategic alliances that provide a decade of financial certainty and operational runway, allowing us to greenlight projects with a confidence that few competitors can match.

Augustus Color

A signed and executed Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) provides a landmark 10-year, €2 Billion line of credit dedicated to all pre-production, production, and post-production expenditures in Italy. This cornerstone partnership secures a significant portion of our European production pipeline for the next decade, anchoring our presence in a key market with rich cinematic history and attractive incentives.

MovieBox Entertainment

A parallel SPV has been signed and executed, providing a 10-year, €1 Billion line of credit for all film-related expenditures made in Portugal. This agreement strategically opens up another key European production hub, offering diverse locations, skilled crews, and significant financial advantages that complement our Italian operations, allowing for pan-European production strategies.

Additional Profit Centers

Beyond direct returns from investments, APX's™ vertically integrated model is designed to generate multiple, independent streams of revenue. These additional profit units contribute significantly to the company's financial strength and are automatically consolidated into the APX Group's balance sheet, creating a multifaceted and resilient financial profile that is not solely dependent on the box office success of its slate.

Regular Studio Activity

All studios and facilities within The APX Group™ also operate as independent service providers to the wider entertainment industry. This means they generate their own profits from third-party clients, separate from their work on APX-funded projects, ensuring maximum asset utilization, consistent cash flow, and a deep integration with the broader industry.

Completion Bond Services

Because APX™ grants investments through its own controlled network of facilities, it effectively functions as a Completion Bond company. This unique position allows APX to underwrite project completion and retain all associated insurance and completion bond fees, which would typically be paid to an external provider, adding a high-margin revenue stream.

Coverage for Overages

In a similar vein, the integrated APX™ network acts as an internal insurance provider against production budget overages. This structure enables the company to retain all budgeted contingency fees and other related financial allocations, turning a standard cost center into another valuable profit unit and further de-risking the production process for both APX and its creative partners.

Financial Highlights (PitchBook Data)

APX™ Corporation's innovative model has translated into strong financial performance, demonstrating significant revenue growth and a solid valuation that underscores its robust market position and impressive operational scale. The data reflects a company on a steep growth trajectory, validating its unique approach to entertainment finance.

Strategy & Investments

APX Group's investment strategy is a paradigm shift in entertainment finance, meticulously designed to maximize returns while aggressively mitigating risk through a series of structural advantages unique to its model. The company finances up to 50% of all elected project budgets, focusing exclusively on "below the line" (BTL) production coverage. This disciplined approach avoids the speculative, often inflated, risks associated with "above the line" (ATL) talent costs and instead concentrates on the tangible, predictable costs of physical production (crew, equipment, locations, post-production). Crucially, this investment is not provided as cash but is granted exclusively through the APX Group's proprietary, vertically integrated network of studios, post-production houses, and service providers. This creates a closed-loop, synergistic ecosystem where APX maintains full control over quality, timelines, and, most importantly, costs, eliminating the layers of third-party markups and inefficiencies that plague traditional production financing.

The financial genius of this model lies in its multi-layered, de-risked recoupment structure. APX retains all government tax credits, cash rebates, and other forms of "soft money" as a "first position" guaranteed recoupment against its investment. Because these government incentives typically cover 30-40% of qualifying expenditures, and APX's internal hard cost for providing its network services is only approximately 30% of the fair market rate it charges to the production budget, this single mechanism ensures that the company's initial cash outlay is almost entirely de-risked from day one. On top of this de-risked principal, APX charges a 20% premium on its investment (e.g., a $10M investment of services is valued at $12M in the finance plan) and secures up to a 50% ownership stake in the intellectual property (IP) of the projects it finances, matching its percentage of the budget. This powerful combination ensures that APX's financials are balanced, and often profitable, once the tax credits are collected, regardless of a project's commercial success at the box office. The immense upside potential is then realized through long-term IP ownership, the strategic curation of a valuable content library, and future profit-sharing backends. After the initial investment and premium are fully recovered from project revenues, the model reverts to a backend profit-sharing structure, where APX collects its pro-rata share of all future earnings for the life of the IP, building an evergreen portfolio of revenue-generating assets that will appreciate in value over time.

Global Tax Credit Benefits

In the competitive global landscape of 2025, production incentives have become the single most critical factor in film and television finance. APX Group's strategy is built upon a deep and expert-level mastery of these programs. Government-backed tax credits and rebates are not merely a supplemental funding source for APX; they are the absolute cornerstone of our financial model, allowing the company to recoup its hard costs with near certainty and offer unparalleled financing terms to creators. Our in-house legal and financial teams possess a sophisticated understanding of the intricate and ever-changing rules governing these incentives, from qualifying expenditures and cultural tests to monetization strategies. This expertise is a core competitive advantage, enabling us to structure complex, multi-jurisdictional financing plans that maximize value and minimize risk. The following is a detailed overview of the benefits available in key territories where APX™ operates, reflecting the latest 2025 data and showcasing the financial advantages that fuel our growth and profitability.

United States

The U.S. offers a competitive and diverse patchwork of state-level incentives. APX focuses on states with stable, high-value, and, most importantly, refundable or transferable credits.

APXCOIN™ & Web3 Architecture

Major Update: Migration to Ethereum Mainnet

APXCOIN™ has successfully migrated from the T4L3NT Net (Tezos) to the Ethereum Mainnet (ERC-20). This strategic leap unlocks global liquidity, ensures compatibility with the vast DeFi ecosystem, and leverages the world's most secure smart contract infrastructure. Tezos assets are now historical; the future is built on Ethereum.

The Economic Engine: APXCOIN™ (ERC-20)

APXCOIN™ (APX) is the native utility token of the APX Group ecosystem, designed to power the next generation of decentralized film financing. By operating on Ethereum, APX acts as the seamless bridge between traditional entertainment capital and the efficiency of blockchain technology. It is not merely a speculative asset but a service-based currency backed by the tangible net asset value and operational activity of the APX global network.

The tokenomics are engineered for sustainability and value accrual, featuring a fixed supply of 2,000,000,000 (2 Billion) tokens with no minting capability. This ensures long-term scarcity. The ecosystem operates on a "Flywheel" model where platform growth directly drives token demand through transaction fees, staking for governance, and access to our exclusive Service Marketplace.

Governance

Token holders vote on which film projects receive funding from the Treasury, democratizing the green-light process.

Utility & Services

The primary medium of exchange for hiring studios, post-production teams, and paying submission fees within the network.

Deflationary Burn

A portion of fees generated by the Service Marketplace is systematically burned, permanently reducing supply over time.

The "Film3" Revolution: Why Ethereum?

The shift to Ethereum represents a commitment to institutional-grade security and accessibility. In the traditional "Hollywood" model, financing is opaque, slow, and gated. In our Film3 model on Ethereum:
