Beneficient, often referred to as Ben, is a technology-enabled financial services company headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Its core mission is to democratize the global alternative asset investment market by providing liquidity solutions and related trust and custody services.

The company has recently regained full compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, including the minimum bid price, as of January 2026. Despite facing operational and financial challenges, including operating losses, Beneficient continues to engage in GP primary capital transactions and is focused on strengthening its capital base.
