Today, the Syndicate Network Collective (SNC) published its Q4 and Year-End 2025 financial statements, providing a detailed, accrual-basis view into the DUNA’s treasury, expenses, and tax position.
Prepared by Cowrie – Administrator Services LLC, these financials reflect a decentralized network operating with the same reporting rigor expected of traditional organizations under U.S. law.
This level of disclosure isn’t new to traditional finance—but it remains rare in crypto. The goal here is simple: clear, repeatable financial transparency.

From Onchain Visibility to Financial Accountability
Crypto has always promised transparency. Wallets are public. Transactions are verifiable. Treasury balances are visible onchain.
But visibility alone isn’t the same as accountability.
Without standardized accounting, tax treatment, or reporting discipline, many onchain treasuries still operate as black boxes—especially when activity crosses into offchain services, vendors, or legal obligations.
The DUNA framework allows the Syndicate Network Collective to close that gap.
By pairing onchain transparency with U.S.-compliant financial reporting, SNC provides a complete picture of its economic activity—both onchain and offchain—in a form that can be consistently understood, reviewed, and repeated.
The Framework: How the DUNA Reports
Syndicate Network Collective operates as a Wyoming Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association (DUNA).
Governance authority comes from active participation, not passive token holding. Members vote, delegate, and submit proposals that determine how the SYND treasury is used.
For tax purposes, the DUNA elected to be treated as a U.S. C Corporation, establishing clear reporting obligations under existing law.
Financial and tax reporting use accrual accounting and fair-value measurement, meaning:
- Income is recognized when earned, not when cash moves
- SYND holdings are marked to observable market prices each period
- Unrealized gains and losses are reflected transparently
- Deferred tax liabilities are recorded for future realization events

As of December 31, 2025, the DUNA held 267,080,517 SYND tokens and $182,045 cash on hand.
While Q4 reflected a significant unrealized loss due to SYND price movement, this loss was entirely non-cash and had no impact on operational capacity, liquidity, or treasury runway.
Intentional, Disciplined Treasury Management
All SYND disbursements are approved through governance and treated with full accounting and tax rigor.
Combined with limited fixed obligations and prepaid services already secured, this structure gives the DUNA high strategic flexibility to scale grants, programs, and ecosystem investment over time—without introducing unnecessary overhead.
The Syndicate Network Collective’s approach demonstrates that decentralized governance can coexist with clear financial accountability—without sacrificing openness, flexibility, or operational efficiency.
