Until something makes a profit it's a charity or predatory monopoly-in-waiting.

The chip makers are making a bundle


Selling shovels in a gold rush.


Selling stakes

99.9% of the time, it's an investment hoping to make a profit in the future. And we still call those businesses, even if they're losing money like most businesses do at first.
