Europe’s leading marketplace for music royalties investments achieves over 1 million euros in royalties distributed to investors and record volumes in 2024.
ANote Music, Europe’s leading marketplace for buying, selling and earning music royalties, has announced over €1 million of royalties distributed to investors on their platform, since launching in August 2020. This achievement underscores the platform's commitment to democratising access to the music royalties market, reinforcing music as a valuable source of passive income and a compelling alternative investment.
Over the past four years, ANote Music has completed 174 royalty distributions on the platform, averaging one payout every five days in the last 12 months. In 2024 alone, the company expects to distribute over €600,000 in royalties, representing a 70% increase from last year.
Since its launch, the platform has recorded over €10 million in transactions between music rights owners and investors, among which €6.7 million recorded on its secondary market, with record volumes of over €3 million in 2024 alone. Over the last 12 months, investors on the ANote platform have recorded average annualised returns of 12.20%, with the highest catalogue return being 30.77%.
Marzio F. Schena, CEO and Co-founder of ANote Music, commented: “We’re proud of the progress we’ve made in opening up the music royalties market with a strong, consistent track record over the past few years. We’ve shown that this space isn’t limited to industry insiders—anyone can access it and benefit from recurring, uncorrelated returns through royalties. Reaching €1 million in royalties distributed is a significant step, but we’re just getting started. There’s so much more ahead, and we’re excited to keep pushing our boundaries and growing.”
Matteo Cernuschi, COO and Co-founder, added: “From day one, our goal has been to create a marketplace where music rights owners, fanbase and investors can connect transparently. Reaching €1 million in royalties distributed validates that mission—it shows we’re delivering real value and that this model works. It’s been rewarding to see people on both sides benefit, with rights holders receiving fair value and investors earning real returns. But we’re not stopping here. There’s still plenty we want to build to make this platform even more dynamic and rewarding. It’s a team effort, and we’re all looking forward to what’s next.”
