SurgePays turns corner stores into tech hubs, selling prepaid wireless and financial services to underbanked Americans, plus telecom for low-income subscribers.
Revenue collapsed from USD 0.14B in 2023 to USD 0.06B in 2025, with gross margin swinging from +25.99% to -18.59%—the business now loses money on every sale, no recurring base.
No visible moat: corner-store distribution is easily replicated by larger prepaid carriers like TracFone (Verizon) and Boost Mobile, and the company's shrinking revenue shows no proprietary lock-in.

Key events, in time order
