Mentor Capital, Inc.: what insiders have been doing
Mentor Capital, Inc. is a Finance & Banking company. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). The last twelve months, up to 18 October 2026, brought 39 filings signed by 1 insider.
Only purchases show up on the open market, 38 purchases in all worth €5,462, filed by 1 insider. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. One trade stands out by size: a purchase of €1,826 from Billingsley Chester, disclosed on 22 October 2025. The buyers include 1 chief executive.
The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 186 days ago, on 15 April 2026. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction.
Across the 5,458 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 22 filings; at 39 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. Over the whole record (from 2021), the tally stands at 79 purchases and 7 sales. In its latest annual report filed with the SEC (10-K, fiscal year ended 31 December 2025), the company reported revenue of 166,811 USD and net income of -574,119 USD.

About Mentor Capital, Inc.
Mentor Capital, Inc. (MNTR) is a United States-based public company headquartered in Plano, Texas. The shares are quoted on the OTCQB market rather than on the NYSE or NASDAQ at present, which places the company in the small-cap, lower-liquidity segment of the U.S. equity market. Founded in 1985 in Silicon Valley by current CEO Chet Billingsley, Mentor was first publicly traded in 1996 and has since gone through several structural changes, including a Chapter 11 reorganization, a move to San Diego, and a later relocation of its corporate office to Plano in 2020.
Mentor Capital describes itself as a public operating and investment company focused on classic energy sectors: oil and gas, coal, and uranium. Its business model is not that of a conventional upstream producer. Instead, the company emphasizes ownership of royalty interests, selective energy-related securities, and acquisition opportunities where it can obtain meaningful exposure while often leaving day-to-day operating control with the existing founders or management teams. This makes Mentor closer to a flexible capital allocator in the energy space than to a traditional exploration-and-production company. The company’s stated preference is for assets that already generate cash flow, especially royalty streams, which can provide recurring revenue without the same operating burden borne by working-interest operators.

Recent company disclosures and press releases show a clear strategic focus on the Permian Basin in West Texas, one of the most important oil-producing regions in the United States. In 2025, Mentor reported multiple acquisitions of non-operating oil and gas royalty interests in producing wells and pooled projects in the Permian, reinforcing its emphasis on assets with established production rather than early-stage drilling risk. The company also notes exposure to energy-linked public equities, including oil, uranium, and coal names, as part of its broader classic-energy portfolio. This mix suggests a hybrid balance sheet strategy: direct royalty ownership for cash generation, and securities holdings for sector exposure and optionality.
From a competitive standpoint, Mentor occupies a niche position. It does not compete head-on with large integrated oil companies or scaled E&Ps; instead, it seeks opportunity in smaller, more fragmented transactions where sellers may value liquidity, a public currency, and a continuing relationship with management. For investors, the appeal lies in asymmetric exposure to energy prices and asset accretion, but the risks are equally clear: small size, concentration, limited liquidity, and dependence on deal execution. The recent SEC Form 4 insider-transaction activity and the company’s ongoing asset purchases indicate an active capital-allocation profile, but MNTR remains a speculative micro-cap energy story rather than a broad-market industrial platform.
