In its Aug. 13 results release, the company described the EMJX result for June 16 through June 30 as \u201chypothetical\u201d and \u201csystem-generated.\u201d It explicitly said the figure did not represent actual trading results or returns earned on capital invested by SRX.<\/p>\n<p>That distinction matters because SRX had said in June, when it announced the completed acquisition, that it deployed capital into multiple high-conviction positions.

It is a consolidated company result, not an EMJX trading return.<\/p>\n<p>The two headline figures therefore measure different things: 4.3% is a hypothetical model result over 14 days, while $1.410 million is the full quarter&#8217;s company-wide change in digital-asset fair value.
