Silver Spike Investment US8281741020

The business development company now trading under the symbol “LIEN” is advancing its strategic repositioning in the wake of a significant portfolio acquisition completed at the end of 2024. Market participants are closely monitoring how effectively the firm deploys capital in a fluid economic environment, with a renewed emphasis on providing direct loans to middle-market businesses.

A central pillar of the company’s strategy continues to be financing for operators within the cannabis industry, where regulatory shifts and market growth consistently present fresh opportunities for both debt and equity financing. Management is simultaneously evaluating an increased number of transactions outside this sector, aiming to reduce overall dependence on any single industry.
