Beast Industries plans to enter financial services and mobile telecom, extending MrBeast’s business portfolio beyond digital media. The move follows new hires and efforts to manage rising costs.

Beast Industries, the company behind YouTube creator MrBeast, is preparing to launch a financial services platform as part of a broader expansion strategy. CEO Jeffrey Housenbold said the initiative will sit alongside a new mobile business, Beast Mobile, and will include financial literacy features and access to various advisory tools. A recent trademark application outlined plans for banking, fintech, and crypto exchange services under the MrBeast Financial brand.

The move reflects the company’s effort to diversify revenue as media production costs have weighed on profitability. Investor documents show Beast Industries generated more than $400 million in revenue last year but operated at a loss due to high content expenses. The company has been hiring executives focused on sponsorships and new formats to strengthen its commercial foundation.

MrBeast, who has more than 450 million YouTube subscribers, has been expanding into consumer products and technology through ventures including Feastables and analytics firm Viewstats. Leadership said the new financial services offering will leverage partnerships to reduce regulatory and operational risk while targeting the creator’s broad global audience.
