- Combined balance of cash and cash equivalents and digital assets1 were $141.5 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $177.1 million as of December 31, 2025.
"During the first quarter, we continued to execute our dual-engine model, with Cloud Mining Solutions generating $57.5 million of revenue, representing approximately 79% of total revenue, while we expanded hashrate under management to 25.9 EH/s. While lower Bitcoin prices weighed on reported results through a fair value loss, we remained disciplined on cost, procurement, and capital allocation, and ended the quarter with a combined $141.5 million of cash and digital assets, which included 1,794 BTC on our balance sheet, preserving the flexibility to navigate volatility and invest through the cycle. Operationally, we continued improving fleet efficiency and optimizing our mining portfolio, including disposing of older-generation machines and managing our Bitcoin position in line with our treasury strategy, as we work toward refreshing capacity over time with newer, more energy-efficient equipment," said Leo Lu, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Review
Revenue
Total revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $72.7 million, representing a decrease of 6.8% from $78.0 million in the same period of 2025, primarily due to the decline in Self-Mining revenue and Mining Equipment Sales revenue, partially offset by the increase in Cloud Mining Solutions and Hosting revenue.
Revenue from Cloud Mining Solutions was $57.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, representing an increase of 7.1% from $53.7 million in the same period of 2025. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher hashrate allocation to fulfill cloud mining solutions contracts carried over from 2025, partially offset by lower average selling prices due to declining BTC prices and weaker market sentiment. BitFuFu realized a net dollar retention rate of 85.7% for the first quarter of 2026, which was calculated by dividing the amount of recurring revenue in the first quarter of 2026 by the amount of revenue in the first quarter of 2025.
Revenue from Bitcoin self-mining operations in the first quarter of 2026 was $11.4 million, compared with $17.6 million in the same period of 2025. The year-over-year change primarily reflected higher blockchain network difficulty, which drove a 20.9% reduction in average daily BTC earnings per tera-hash, and an 18.2% decline in the average BTC price to $76,500 in the first quarter of 2026 from $93,500 in the first quarter of 2025.
Revenue from mining equipment sales was nil in the first quarter of 2026, compared with $6.0 million in the same period of 2025, driven by lower customer demand amid Bitcoin price uncertainty and broader market sentiment.
Revenue from Hosting and Other was $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared with $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by the introduction of our Buy and Host one-stop solution following the 2025 acquisition of a mining facility.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $72.3 million, an increase of 1.0% from $71.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, despite a 6.8% year-over-year decline in revenue. The increase was driven by higher third-party hashrate costs for hashrate procured prior to the Bitcoin price decline in the fourth quarter of last year, which pressured self-mining margins amid lower Bitcoin prices this year.
Operating Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2026 were $0.4 million, $1.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively, approximately in line with the same period of 2025.
The Company recognized a $35.6 million fair value loss on digital assets and digital asset receivables or payables in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting higher volatility and downward pressure on Bitcoin prices during the period. By comparison, the Company recognized a $20.7 million fair value loss in the first quarter of 2025.
Net Loss
Net loss in the first quarter of 2026 was $35.0 million, compared to the net loss of $16.9 million in the same period of 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2026 was negative $34.4 million, compared to negative $10.8 million in the same period of 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and digital assets of $141.5 million, compared to $177.1 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in the fair value of Bitcoin held during the first quarter of 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
BitFuFu uses and considers Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental metric in reviewing and evaluating its performance. BitFuFu defines Adjusted EBITDA as (1) GAAP net profit/loss, plus (2) adjustments to add back interest expense/(income), income tax expense/(benefit), depreciation and amortization, and (3) adjustments for non-recurring items, if any. BitFuFu believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the consolidated financial results in the same manner as its management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods. However, Non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under GAAP and are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools, which possibly do not reflect all items of expense that affect the Company's operations. BitFuFu's calculation of adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods of other companies, and therefore, the comparability of such measure may be limited. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure adjusts for the impact of items that BitFuFu does not consider indicative of the operational performance of its business and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net profit/loss or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of its future performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this release. BitFuFu encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
