Auddia Inc. (
) (AUUDW), a leading provider of AI-powered audio streaming solutions, has announced a significant strategic pivot and restructuring that could reshape its business landscape. The company has revealed plans to transform into an AI-native holding company, focusing on AI and web3 technologies, as well as a shift from a B2C subscription-based model to a B2B AI-driven music discovery platform.
On October 16, 2025, Auddia updated its corporate overview to reflect the proposed restructuring and a letter of intent (LOI) for a business combination with Thramann Holdings, LLC. The deal would convert Auddia into a holding company, with Holdings' equity holders receiving 80% ownership while Auddia shareholders retain 20%. The new entity will focus on delivering AI efficiencies and web3 capabilities, including discounted compute costs, centralized AI model training, and blockchain development.
Auddia's strategic pivot includes a shift from a B2C to a B2B model with its new Discovr Radio platform. The company will transform its faidr app, making AI-driven ad-free AM/FM streaming free for consumers while monetizing through artists and labels seeking radio exposure. The platform features an AI Placement Engine that strategically inserts artists' music into radio feeds, targeting up to 33% of stream content. Artists will gain access to an Artist Portal providing analytics on plays, listener engagement, and demographic data. The platform will be available through a monthly subscription model for artists and labels, with an MVP version expected by Q1 2026 .
The company has also announced a reverse stock split effective March 31, 2025, aimed at meeting Nasdaq's continued listing requirements, particularly the $1.00 minimum bid price rule. The reverse split will decrease the company's outstanding shares from approximately 8.67 million to 510,000 post-split .
Auddia's leadership changes include Jeff Thramann succeeding Michael Lawless as CEO and the appointment of three new independent board members with expertise in AI infrastructure. A special committee has been formed to evaluate the potential business combination opportunity that would transform Auddia into a subsidiary of an AI native holding company .
Investors and financial professionals should closely monitor Auddia's progress as it navigates these strategic changes. The company's focus on AI-driven music discovery and web3 technologies positions it to capitalize on the evolving digital media sector. As Auddia continues to refine its business model and technology, it remains a company to watch in the audio tech landscape.
