2017. Post Malone's "Rockstar" lists on Fholio before anyone knows his name — 10,000 shares at $10, with 30% of streaming royalties flowing to fans. Believers put up $100K. Then the song goes supernova: 5.44 billion streams. Drag the slider. This is the trade Fholio exists to give you.
That's the math of hearing it first. On Fholio, the next one is listed before the world knows their name — and this time you're not just a fan in the crowd. You're a shareholder.
Meet today's listings ↓Hypothetical illustration based on Fholio's founding example. Most songs are not "Rockstar" — that's the point of a portfolio, and of getting in before the breakout. Royalty outcomes vary; investing involves risk, including loss of principal.
An artist offers fan-backed shares in a song, EP, album — or an Artist Token covering their whole journey.
Fans buy shares in the music they believe in. The artist receives upfront funding immediately — for production, marketing, touring.
Streams, sync licenses, radio, YouTube — revenue flows in as the music succeeds in the world.
Royalties flow back to shareholders as dividends. Hold for income — or sell your shares on the exchange when the value rises.
Buy into a specific track. When it streams, syncs, and licenses, you earn your share of its royalties — like owning a dividend stock, except it's the song you had on repeat.
One token, every future release. Artist Tokens rise in value as fan interest, success, and engagement grow — the closest thing to buying stock in an artist before the world knows their name.

PREVIEW
Traditional deals are limiting or out of reach. Crowdfunding is inconsistent and unreliable. Fholio is the third door: raise from the people who already believe in you.
Jayla B needs $50,000 to fund her album. Instead of a label deal, she lists 10% of the album's future earnings at $10 a share. Fans start buying within hours.
Mike, a longtime fan, buys 10 shares for $100. He's not a listener anymore — he's a stakeholder. He shares the listing everywhere, because now her win is his win.
The album drops, goes viral, lands a film sync. Total earnings hit $500,000. Mike's $100 stake is worth $1,000. He sells half, keeps half for the ongoing dividends.
Earn dividends from streams, syncs, licensing, and YouTube — quarterly, automatically.
As a song or artist gains value, resell your shares on the exchange and take the profit.
Artist Tokens spread your stake across everything they release next. One bet on a career.
Get bonuses when you help an artist grow. Your sharing has value here — we pay for it.
Catalog marketplaces sell you the past. Crypto platforms made it weird. Fholio is built for the rise: any artist can list, any fan can back, and the regulation is handled — offerings run through our white-label licensed broker partner, under SEC/FCA compliance, so the platform launches clean in the US, UK, and 30+ countries. Artists sell a share of revenue by permission. No rights change hands. No red tape for you.
Music investing only works if fans trust the plumbing. Here's exactly how Fholio is structured — no fine-print games.
Offerings are issued and settled through a licensed broker-dealer partner operating under SEC (US) and FCA (UK) regulatory umbrellas. Fholio is the marketplace and the data layer — your investments are held with the regulated partner, not on our balance sheet.
Dividend amounts come from actual royalty statements — streaming platforms, PROs, sync and licensing — attributable to each listing. Artists authorize the revenue share in writing before a listing opens. No rights are sold; the copyright stays with the artist.
Investor funds are held in segregated accounts with the broker partner. Fholio never lends, pools or spends client funds. If Fholio disappeared tomorrow, your shares and dividend rights would remain intact with the partner.
| Fee | Amount | Who pays | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offering fee | 3% of the raise | Artist | Listing, offering compliance, distribution |
| Royalty participation | 2% of royalties | Taken from the royalty stream | Market operations and dividend processing |
| Trading | $0 commission | — | Buying and reselling shares on the exchange |
| Investor account | Free | — | Premium analytics tier optional at launch |
Investing in music royalties is speculative: songs can underperform, dividends vary with actual earnings, and you could lose money. That's true of every early-stage investment — which is why we publish the Fholio Score, the underlying streaming data, and the full offering terms on every listing.
Fans get first access to new listings. Artists skip the queue.
Shares in a song (a defined slice of its streaming, sync, and licensing royalties) or an Artist Token (a slice of an artist's future release earnings). Shares pay quarterly dividends and can be resold on the Fholio exchange. Artists never sell their copyrights or masters — they share revenue by permission, and keep full control.
Yes — Fholio operates through a white-label licensed broker partner in the US and UK. All offerings, investor verification, and transactions run under their SEC/FCA regulatory umbrella. It's the same playbook as Regulation Crowdfunding, without Fholio spending years and millions building a brokerage from scratch.
A completely new revenue stream: upfront capital from their fans, on their terms. An artist can raise $50K for an album in days instead of waiting years for royalty checks — then use it for production, marketing, and touring that make the music (and your shares) worth more.
A 3% fee on investments, a 2% participation in royalties from funded artists, and premium accounts for deeper analytics and early access. We win when artists and fans win — our incentives point the same direction as yours.
