Company News
Equitable Holdings has launched the industry's first bitcoin-linked option for a registered index-linked annuity. The SCS Premier option tracks the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, allowing retirement savers exposure to bitcoin with built-in downside protection. The product offers one-year segments with buffers of 10%, 15%, 20% and 40%, with allocations capped at 25% of contract value. Steve Scanlon, Equitable's Head of Individual Retirement, said the launch addresses investor interest in bitcoin whilst managing volatility concerns. In the second quarter of 2025, Equitable posted net inflows of $1.7 billion in Retirement, $2.0 billion in Wealth Management and $0.8 billion in Asset Management. Total assets under management and administration reached a record $1.2 trillion, up 10% year-on-year. The company reported a GAAP net loss of $453 million for the quarter, though non-GAAP operating earnings were positive at $488 million.
Equitable (EQH) just put bitcoin inside a retirement annuity. Published September 18, 2026 at 1:40 am EDT On September 2, Equitable Holdings (NYSE:EQH) added the industry's first bitcoin-linked investment option to a registered index-linked annuity, a striking move for products built around downside protection rather than crypto speculation. The new SCS Premier option tracks the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:IBIT), giving retirement savers a way into bitcoin's swings without going all in. It is a bet that even conservative annuity buyers want a taste of crypto, as long as some of the risk is fenced off. Crypto meets the retirement account. Equitable has been here before. The company says it pioneered the first index-linked annuity back in 2010, and the SCS Premier expansion continues that pattern of moving first as investor tastes shift. The bitcoin option comes with one-year segments offering buffers of 10%, 15%, 20% and 40%, and allocations are generally capped at 25% of contract value, so clients get defined protection rather than open-ended exposure. Steve Scanlon, Equitable's Head of Individual Retirement, framed the launch as answering investors who are curious about bitcoin but wary of its volatility. The same update added Optimal Mix Segments, which spread money across multiple indices and weight the best performers at maturity, plus Dual Direction Downside Advantage segments that can turn a decline within the buffer into a gain worth twice the size of that drop. That product push sits on top of a business that is already growing. In the second quarter of 2026, Equitable posted net inflows of $1.7 billion in Retirement, $2.0 billion in Wealth Management and $0.8 billion in Asset Management, pushing total assets under management and administration to a record $1.2 trillion, up 10% from a year earlier. The company also returned $449 million to shareholders in the quarter and says it remains on track for a 60% to 70% payout ratio in 2026. Layered on top of that is the pending merger with Corebridge Financial, which shareholders approved on July 30, and which management expects will add more than 10% to earnings per share on a run-rate basis by year-end 2028. The losses underneath the growth. The headline numbers hide a rockier bottom line. Equitable reported a GAAP net loss of $453 million, or $1.68 per share, for the second quarter of 2026, even as non-GAAP operating earnings came in positive at $488 million. Book value per common share was negative $6.79 once accumulated other comprehensive income is included, and only turns positive, to $30.92, when the company's stake in AllianceBernstein is marked at fair value instead of book value. That gap shows how much the balance sheet still depends on interest rate marks and how the AB stake happens to be valued, rather than on cash results alone. The new bitcoin option carries its own limits. The 25% allocation cap suggests even Equitable is treating bitcoin exposure with caution inside a retirement product, and any decline beyond the stated buffer is absorbed entirely by the client, not the company. The Corebridge merger, meanwhile, has shareholder approval but still needs regulatory sign-off before it can close, leaving the promised earnings boost dependent on approvals still to come. Funds are quietly piling in. Hedge fund ownership of Equitable climbed from 42 funds to 49 in the most recent quarter, which reads as accumulating rather than fading interest. That accumulation comes alongside a forward price-to-earnings ratio of just 5.82, as of September 17, a multiple that prices in very little optimism given the growth Equitable just reported. The combination is worth noting: institutions are adding to positions in a stock the market is pricing as if little upside lies ahead, a disconnect that often narrows once GAAP results catch up with the non-GAAP story. What has to go right from here. Equitable is trying to do two hard things at once: launch a genuinely new kind of retirement product built on the most volatile major asset around, and close its largest deal in years. The inflows, the record assets under management and the shareholder-approved Corebridge merger all point toward a company executing on multiple fronts. But a GAAP net loss and a book value that depends on how AB is marked are reminders that reported profits have not yet caught up with the growth. If the bitcoin-linked annuity draws real demand and Corebridge closes on schedule, the growth case gets easier to make.

Equitable Holdings reported second-quarter results with adjusted earnings per share of $1.70, beating analyst estimates of $1.64, though revenue of $3.73 billion missed expectations by 1.9%. The financial services company ended the quarter with record assets under management and administration of $1.2 trillion, up 10% year-over-year. CEO Mark Pearson attributed growth to positive net flows across Retirement, Wealth Management, and Asset Management segments, along with favourable equity markets. The company also returned substantial capital to shareholders during the period. Key analyst questions during the earnings call focused on integration planning for Equitable's pending merger with Corebridge, the timeline for cross-selling products post-merger, and details about a $12 billion commercial mortgage loan transfer to AllianceBernstein.
