Trailing Revenues at 200% of Current Market Capitalization Following Texas Expansion

Mentor Capital, Inc. (OTCQB: MNTR) announced in its 10-Q filing for the first quarter of 2021 that revenues increased 15% during the first quarter compared to the same quarter in 2020.

The May 17, 2021 closing Mentor share price was 11 cents per share, corresponding to a current market capitalization of $2.5 million.

Mentor CEO, Chet Billingsley, attributes the revenue changes to the combination of the business expansion and move into Texas, the waning of the COVID-19 impact on the economy, and new explorations into the crypto sector.
