SHFS Penny Stock Slides With No Fresh Announcement in View

SHF Holdings (NASDAQ:SHFS) shares are trading down 14.87% today at $0.0664, placing the stock firmly in penny stock territory. A review of company releases and filings did not identify a new announcement that explains the decline.

The company operates as Safe Harbor, a Fintech platform that serves the regulated cannabis and hemp industries with banking, lending, payments and Business services. It is not a bank; banking services are delivered through partner banks.

The company says it has helped process more than $36 billion in cannabis-related deposits across 41 states and territories since inception. Its revenue comes largely from account fees, Loan program income and Investment income on a portion of partner-held deposits.

Deposits Reach Highest Quarter-End Level Since April 2024

The most recent company update came on October 6, when Safe Harbor released preliminary third-quarter deposit figures. Trailing 14-day average client deposits were about $119.3 million at September 30, up 7.4% from roughly $111.1 million a year earlier.

The balance was about 9.6% above the June 30 level of roughly $108.9 million, and about 25% above the May 2025 low. The company estimated that a 25 basis point Federal Reserve rate increase in September would add about $150,000 in annualized investment income. The figures are preliminary and unaudited, and the company noted that deposits do not move revenue proportionally.

Management said the deposit trend reflects the strategy it has put in place. Deposits sit on partner bank balance sheets rather than Safe Harbor's own.
