Exhibit 99.1
SuRo Capital Corp. Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025
Investment Portfolio Update
Generated Meaningful Portfolio Liquidity and Distributed Capital During 2025
Committed $20.0 Million to TensorWave Investment Expanding Exposure to AI Infrastructure
NEW YORK, NY, January 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – SuRo Capital Corp. (“SuRo Capital”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) (Nasdaq: SSSS) today provided the following update on its investment portfolio for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
“2025 was a strong year for SuRo Capital. Our performance was driven by growing recognition of the value created by our investments in AI and AI infrastructure companies and we believe this momentum positions us well as we enter 2026,” said Mark Klein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SuRo Capital. “During the year, we generated meaningful liquidity from our portfolio, including through CoreWeave, which supported total distributions of $0.50 per share. These distributions reflect both the underlying strength of our holdings and our continued commitment to disciplined realizations, thoughtful reinvestment, and long-term value creation for our shareholders.”
Mr. Klein further emphasized, “Consistent with our strategy of providing shareholders access to category-defining AI and AI infrastructure companies prior to their entry into the public markets, as of year-end, we made a $20.0 million commitment to Magnetar Opportunity 2025-4 LP, a Magnetar-managed SPV invested in TensorWave, Inc. Subsequent to year-end, we funded the first $5.0 million of that investment and have committed to invest up to an additional $15.0 million upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. TensorWave is building next-generation AI infrastructure designed for large-scale, compute-intensive workloads, leveraging the latest AMD accelerators to deliver scalable, memory-optimized performance. We believe the company is well positioned to support increasingly complex AI training and inference requirements as demand for advanced infrastructure continues to grow.”
“Looking ahead, we remain focused on executing our conviction-driven, research-led investment approach, supporting transformative companies at critical stages of development, and continuing to generate long-term value for our shareholders. While we would typically provide a NAV range at this point, we are not doing so as we work diligently to confirm year-end portfolio company developments and financial information including the potential impact of financings currently in process. Consistent with prior years, we expect to report our fourth quarter and year-end 2025 results during the week of March 9th,” Mr. Klein concluded.
