Bolt Projects Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:BSLK) shares are trading higher Wednesday after the company reported a year-over-year increase in second quarter financial results.

What To Know: The company reported a loss of $2.20 per share, narrowing from a loss of $252.21 per share in the same quarter last year. Revenue rose to $1.30 million, up from $56,000 year-over-year.
