The filing shows first‑half 2026 revenue of $16.3 billion, up from $1.2 billion a year earlier, while operating loss narrowed to $693 million from $2.1 billion in the same period of 2025.
Net loss was $80.7 billion, driven mainly by non‑cash adjustments tied to convertible debt, and the company warned it may not achieve profitability.
The governance plan gives the seven co‑founders a “Founder LLC” that controls 50.1% of voting power, while a Long‑Term Benefit Trust will appoint most board members.
