For investors on the crowdfunding platform PROFITUS, 2025 was a profitable year: more than EUR 6.8 million in interest was paid out over the year, and since the platform began operating, the total exceeds EUR 20 million. Recent results show that, over the same period, the total amount of projects financed through the platform surpassed EUR 300 million, further strengthening PROFITUS’ leading position in the real-estate crowdfunding market. PROFITUS founder and CEO Viktorija Čijunskytė says that the 2025 results are important for investors because they demonstrate a consistent platform operating model. According to her, the result is driven not only by the volume of financed projects, but also by how projects are selected, structured and monitored throughout the entire financing period.

“For an investor, it is important to see not only the interest rate, but also clear investment logic—what exactly is being financed, what collateral is applied, and how the project’s progress is monitored. The EUR 6.8 million in interest paid out over the year shows the model working consistently. Our goal is for investors to make decisions with sufficient information and to be able to grow their portfolios steadily, based on clear criteria. That is why we focus most on project selection, structure and risk management,” says V. Čijunskytė.

Portfolios—from a few hundred to millions
According to the company, by the end of 2025 more than 13.7 thousand investors were actively investing via PROFITUS, and an additional 1,834 new investors joined over the year. The average investment is about EUR 800, but investor scale varies significantly—the largest single investor’s portfolio exceeds EUR 1.8 million, and the average investment amounts to EUR 350 thousand. Small investors make up around 60% of the total amount financed through the platform. “We see a broad spectrum of investors—from beginners who start with smaller amounts to those who grow portfolios at a large scale. An average investment of about EUR 800 shows the platform’s accessibility, while larger investors’ investments range from EUR 50 thousand to EUR 3 million. Our task is to ensure clear information and a convenient process for both segments,” says V. Čijunskytė.

Larger projects for investors
As the investor community and invested amounts grow, the supply of larger projects on the platform is also increasing—this is linked to the fact that PROFITUS is increasingly being chosen by the largest real-estate developers. The company notes that projects on the platform are funded on average within three days, and in 2025 the largest projects by amount raised were Nativo Resort (EUR 4.9 million), “Nidos Bangos | Demus” (EUR 2.53 million), “Hotel in Marbella” (EUR 3.5 million) and “Kęstučio Salos” (EUR 2.17 million). Another 8 projects exceeded EUR 1 million over the year. According to V. Čijunskytė, projects structured in stages provide more clarity for investors and allow developers to plan financing consistently. “For developers, the most important things are financing speed and a clear process, because everything in a real-estate project is planned in stages. When capital can be raised for a specific stage, it becomes easier to align the construction schedule, sales pace and cash flows. That’s why we see that the platform is often chosen consistently, as an operating model rather than a one-off solution. For investors, this means more larger, clearly structured projects and a more consistent choice,” says V. Čijunskytė.

Diversifying beyond Lithuania
She notes that as investor portfolios grow, interest naturally increases in opportunities beyond Lithuania—in Latvia, Estonia and especially Spain. In response to rising interest, in 2025 PROFITUS steadily expanded operations in Spain and financed 9 projects through the platform, split into 38 stages, with a total amount of EUR 13.84 million. The average stage size was EUR 364 thousand, and the largest project reached EUR 4.5 million. “Expansion into Spain is linked to investors’ desire to diversify portfolios and look for opportunities beyond Lithuania. Foreign projects require more information—not only about the project, but also about the developer and local market specifics. That is why we devote a lot of attention to selection and to presenting information so the investor clearly understands the decision. We want investing in foreign real estate to be a well-considered part of a portfolio,” says V. Čijunskytė.

So that decisions are well-founded
Platform Marketing Manager Miglė Grybinienė says that as investor activity grows and the project spectrum expands, it becomes increasingly important for people to have clear criteria for decision-making. According to her, in 2025 PROFITUS strengthened this direction not only through educational formats, but also through tools dedicated to investors. Last year, one of the most notable educational steps was the “Financial Freedom Forum,” which PROFITUS organized for the fourth year in a row together with partners. In the same year, the show “Pokalbiai apie pinigus” launched, with more than 3.3 thousand subscribers on YouTube, and since September the episodes have gathered over 175 thousand views. PROFITUS also organized the CORE real-estate leaders’ conference together with LNPA. Beyond public formats, the company also emphasizes practical solutions for investors—in 2025, an individual portfolio overview was introduced, allowing key portfolio metrics and investment progress to be seen in one place. According to M. Grybinienė, such a tool helps investors base decisions not on emotions, but on a clearly visible situation. “Financial education for us is a broader topic than investing alone—it’s also money planning and understanding how risk, interest and obligations work. We want to show that investing is not a ‘closed’ field—it can be accessible to very different people if you start with clear basics and consistency. Often the biggest barrier is not the amount of money, but the feeling that it’s too complicated, so we try to speak simply and practically. When a person understands the essence, investing becomes not an emotional decision, but a plan that over time creates stability,” says M. Grybinienė.
