WAYNE, Pa., Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BTCS Inc. (Nasdaq: BTCS) ("BTCS" or the "Company"), a blockchain technology-focused company, short for Blockchain Technology Consensus Solutions, today announced record revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 ("Q3 2025"). The Company also released an updated investor presentation available at www.btcs.com/investors/.
"BTCS is defining the future of Ethereum infrastructure," said Charles Allen, CEO of BTCS. "Our 2025 third quarter financial results mark a pivotal milestone as we achieved record revenue, strong profitability, and meaningful progress in executing our Ethereum-first strategy. We raised more than $200 million, launched a share repurchase program, and significantly expanded our treasury holdings while maintaining a disciplined focus on shareholder value. The increase in ETH per share highlights the success of our capital-efficient model and integrated operations."
2025 Third Quarter Financial Highlights
- Q3 2025 revenue of $4.94 million, up 568% YoY and up 78% QoQ.
- Nine-month revenue for period ended September 30, 2025 was $9.40 million, up 437% YoY, exceeding full-year 2024 revenues by more than 2.3x.
- Builder+ revenue was $3.36 million in Q3 2025, an increase of 34% QoQ and 730% YoY, driven by higher transaction volume, greater order flow, and technical optimizations across the Company's block-building infrastructure.
- Gross margins improved to 22% in Q3 2025 compared to (2.9%) in Q2 2025, reflecting early operating leverage from scaling activity and enhanced infrastructure efficiency.
- Net income increased 1,590% QoQ to $65.59 million in Q3 2025, primarily driven by a $73.72 million increase in the fair value of crypto assets.
- Net income for nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 reached $52.20 million, marking the most profitable nine-month period in Company history.
Mr. Allen added, "The launch of our third business unit, Imperium, marks a major step in our evolution as we expand into decentralized finance with a scalable, high-margin business that complements our Builder+ and NodeOps platforms. In addition, our integration of Aave with our DeFi and traditional finance strategies demonstrates our commitment to building an Ethereum-native ecosystem focused on innovation, scalability, and long-term sustainability. With a strong foundation and a clear strategic path forward, BTCS is positioned to be a leader in the Ethereum economy and deliver lasting value for our shareholders."
Michael Prevoznik, Chief Financial Officer of BTCS, commented, "Our third quarter results highlight the strength and scalability of our business model. We achieved record revenue and profitability while expanding our ETH position to more than $290 million in value. The appreciation in Ethereum, combined with disciplined balance sheet management, drove significant unrealized gains and the strongest quarter in our history. By leveraging both traditional and decentralized financing tools, including our ATM program, ETH-backed borrowing, and convertible notes issued at above market conversion prices, we have built a flexible capital structure that supports growth, maintains shareholder alignment, and positions BTCS for long-term value creation."
Balance Sheet
- Total assets increased 632% to $298.86 million in Q3 2025, up 681% year-to-date, reflecting substantial ETH accumulation.
- ETH holdings increased to 70,322 ETH, up 380% from Q2 2025 and 676% year-to-date, valued at $291.58 million as of September 30, 2025.
- Total liabilities were $73.45 million, primarily comprised of ETH-backed borrowing and convertible notes, as the Company strategically introduced leverage to amplify ETH exposure.
- Common shares outstanding increased to 47.1 million, up 114% sequentially, a modest dilution relative to the Company's 392% growth in market capitalization since the beginning of 2025.
Operational Update
BTCS successfully launched its new Imperium business line, expanding the Company's blockchain operations into decentralized finance (DeFi). Through Imperium, BTCS deploys tokens into smart contract-based protocols to earn on-chain rewards. Imperium complements the Company's Builder+ and NodeOps operations by adding what it believes will be a high-margin, scalable revenue stream that reinforces BTCS's integrated position across the Ethereum infrastructure stack.
Additionally, the Company became the first public company to integrate Aave, a leading decentralized lending and borrowing protocol into its operations. This on-chain integration is designed to enable the Company to generate and pursue liquidity and scalable revenue growth without shareholder dilution, while maintaining control of its assets. The initiative aligns with BTCS's Imperium DeFi operations and its broader DeFi/TradFi Flywheel strategy, which combines decentralized finance with traditional capital markets to enhance ETH accumulation, capital efficiency, and shareholder value.
BTCS is advancing its revenue growth strategy through integrations with leading Ethereum-focused platforms such as ETHGas and NuConstruct. These integrations are designed to unlock new, scalable revenue streams while deepening BTCS's engagement across the Ethereum ecosystem. In parallel, the Company has strengthened partnerships with prominent industry participants including Figment, WonderFi, Angstrom, and MetaMask, further expanding its Ethereum-native capabilities and reinforcing its position as a leader in institutional-grade DeFi infrastructure.
Financial Discussion
During the third quarter of 2025, BTCS achieved record financial performance driven by disciplined execution of its Ethereum-first strategy and the continued scaling of its Builder+ and Imperium operations. Revenue increased 78% sequentially to $4.94 million, while gross margin improved to 22%, reflecting enhanced block-building efficiency and early contributions from DeFi revenue through Imperium. Net income reached $65.59 million, compared to a net loss of $9.04 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to $73.72 million in unrealized gains on Ethereum holdings as ETH appreciated sharply during the quarter.
Operationally, Builder+ accounted for approximately 68% of total quarterly revenue, with NodeOps contributing 17% and Imperium representing 15% in its first full quarter of contribution. Builder+ revenues rose 34% sequentially as BTCS expanded its share of block-building activity and improved efficiency across its infrastructure. The scaling of NodeOps and Imperium, both high-margin activities, supported margin expansion. As BTCS continues to optimize infrastructure utilization and integrate its growing ETH base into operations, the Company believes it is positioned for continued margin improvement.
ETH reached all-time highs of approximately $4,946 in late August before ending the quarter below $4,200, contributing to significant valuation gains on BTCS's growing Ethereum position. The Company strategically utilized both traditional and decentralized financing mechanisms to expand ETH exposure, raising approximately $139 million through its ATM program, issuing convertible notes with conversion prices of $5.85 and $13.00, and growing ETH-backed DeFi borrowings to $56.5 million through Aave. These initiatives increased the Company's Ethereum holdings by 55,663 from the prior quarter, representing a 124% increase in ETH per common share (x 1,000), from 0.68 to 1.49 for Q3 2025.
BTCS made history as the first public company to issue both a dividend and a loyalty reward in Ethereum, providing shareholders who lock up their shares with direct, blockchain-based payouts. Since announcing the Bividend on August 18, 2025, short interest has declined sharply, falling from a high of approximately 5.56 million shares (˜ 13% of float) on August 15, 2025, to just 953,000 shares (˜ 2% of float) as of October 15, 2025, according to FINRA data. Complementing this, BTCS launched a $50 million share repurchase program, repurchasing approximately $4 million of common stock at an average price of $4.50 per share, roughly 15% below the average price of shares sold under its ATM program and reducing total shares outstanding by roughly 3%. Together, the Bividend and share repurchase initiatives represent decisive actions aimed at combating short-selling activity, tightening the public float, and enhancing long-term shareholder value.
