What Happened With BBIG Stock
Specifically, the market capitalization of BBIG stock has climbed to about $470 million now from about $20 million in December 2020, while Vinco’s stockholders’ equity had climbed to $134 million as of the end of Q4, versus about $14 million in December 2020.
Vinco attributed the increases to “equity growth and our acquisition of an 80% equity interest in Lomotif through ZVV Media Partners, our joint venture with ZASH Global Media and Entertainment.”
Lomotif has been labeled by a number of commentators as “the next TikTok,” which has raised excitement around Vinco Ventures.
In its Q4 earnings press release, Vinco noted that its subsidiary, Cryptyde, which Vinco intends to spin off, had provided the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with a form related to the planned transaction. Cryptyde mines cryptocurrency and has created “Freescape Metaverse characters.” Vinco anticipates that these products will be marketed starting in the current quarter or in Q3.
