Fold Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLD) Announces Third Quarter 2026 Results
Thousands of customers activated Fold’s new balance products, bringing millions of dollars in balances onto the platform.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Fold Holdings (NASDAQ: FLD) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $4.2 million as it expanded balance-based products and credit card access. Revenue fell from $7,398,939 to $4,161,541 year over year. Net loss was $2,649,889, or $0.05 per share, versus net income of $554,242, or $0.01 per share. Operating expenses fell 21% to $10.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP earnings measure, was a $4.5 million loss, improving from a $5.5 million loss in Q2.
Fold launched Reserve and Lead Bank spending accounts, expanded credit card early access to approximately 2,500 cardholders, and reported an approximate 270% increase in custody and trading revenue driven by gift card sales. Quarter-end cash was $21.7 million, with total treasury holdings of 247 BTC. Fold extended its $13 million note to November 2027 and replaced its $250 million equity line with a $25 million committed equity facility. Its Nasdaq compliance deadline is January 11, 2027.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

CEO Commentary
“We believe Q3 was an inflection point for Fold,” said Fold Chairman and CEO Will Reeves. “Over the last few months we’ve evolved from strictly a transaction-based business to one that also monetizes customer balances, broadened our focus from bitcoin earners to every American who earns rewards, strengthened our balance sheet, maintained a focus on operational efficiency, and opened new distribution channels that take our products to audiences we’ve never reached before.”
Mr. Reeves continued, “We are reshaping Fold from a business built on gathering customers into one built on gathering assets. A transaction pays us once. A customer balance earns for us every month it stays on the platform, and it ties that customer more closely to everything else we offer. Early demand for our new balance products is running ahead of our expectations, and those customers hold balances several times larger than our average user. Fold is becoming a place where customers keep their money, not just a place where they spend it.”
Mr. Reeves concluded, “The bitcoin market remained soft through the quarter, and our Q3 results reflect the noise of a major transition: a new banking partner, a new deposit strategy, a consolidated merchant platform, and a shift toward balance-based economics. The benefits of this transition are ahead of us, and we’ve de-risked the path to them. With our only debt extended two years, operating expenses down, and a financing partner for our Credit Card expected to be announced shortly, we believe Fold has never been better positioned for its next stage of growth.”
Strategic & Business Updates
Fold Credit Card
- Expanded Early Access to approximately 2,500 cardholders
- Transitioned from a waitlist to an invite system for all eligible customers
- Launching a pre-approval flow that allows prospective cardholders to get pre-approved outside the Fold app, increasing top-of-funnel conversion and enabling partners to offer the card directly to their customers
- Intend to add a credit facility partner in the future, which would allow the program to scale beyond the Company’s own balance sheet with more invitations, higher limits for qualified customers, and dedicated marketing spend
Platform Expansion
- Launched Fold Reserve, a stored-value product that lets customers hold funds on Fold and unlock Fold’s best rewards tiers, including bill pay rewards, zero-fee and zero-spread bitcoin trading, and higher card rewards
- Launched Lead Bank spending accounts, with deposits held at Lead Bank, an FDIC-insured institution
- Thousands of customers activated Fold’s new balance products, bringing millions of dollars in balances onto the platform. These customers hold balances several times larger than the average Fold user, with participation across every rewards tier
- Launched pass-through bitcoin buying, enabling customers to buy bitcoin directly from any linked bank account without first moving money into Fold
Bitcoin Gift Card
- Became the first and only bitcoin gift card on TikTok Shop, which quickly became Fold’s largest gift card and customer acquisition channel
- Gift card sales drove an approximate
270% increase in Custody & Trading revenues - September was a record month for bitcoin gift card sales, and the product holds a 4.7-star rating
- Kroger renewed its commitment to the Fold program
Merchant Offers
- Consolidated gift card merchant offers onto Blackhawk, a program that carries better economics; nearly all merchants that were temporarily unavailable during the transition have been restored
Capital & Balance Sheet
- Ended the quarter with
$21.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and 171 BTC in Investment Treasury - Extended the maturity of the Company’s
$13 million note to November 2027, with a Company option to extend to November 2028 and nearly doubled its potential capacity to$25 million - Replaced the
$250 million equity line with a$25 million committed equity facility, meaningfully reducing the potential dilution overhang and providing more cost-efficient capital - On October 22, 2026, stockholders approved a reverse stock split authorization, one tool available to the Company to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements ahead of the January 11, 2027 deadline

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to net income (loss) and other results under GAAP, we utilize non-GAAP calculations of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to monitor the financial health of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss, excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) share-based compensation, (v) remeasurement gains and losses such as fair value remeasurements on our digital assets, convertible notes, and SAFE notes, (vi) impairments, restructuring charges, and business acquisition- or disposition-related expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results, and (vii) legal settlement expenses associated with unusual or non-recurring litigation matters that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. This non-GAAP financial information has limitations as an analytical tool when assessing our operating performance, is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items are unpredictable, are not driven by core results of operations, and/or render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of core operations, as well as providing a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measurement used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance, and perform strategic planning and annual budgeting.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net loss:

What is Fold planning to support further credit card expansion?
Fold intends to add a credit facility partner so the program can scale beyond its own balance sheet. The company expects this would support more invitations, higher limits for qualified customers and dedicated marketing spending. It is also launching a pre-approval process outside the Fold app that would let partners offer the card directly to their customers.
