Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Bakkt, Inc. reported full-year 2025 results showing a business in transition, with GAAP revenue of $2,335.2 million, down 32.1% year-over-year due to lower crypto trading volume.

The company posted a GAAP net loss of $132.2 million, including a $34.6 million loss from discontinued operations tied to the sale of its Loyalty business. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $32.7 million, an improvement of 42.9% year-over-year as operating efficiency and other income improved.

Bakkt completed roughly $100 million of strategic capital raises, eliminated long-term debt, simplified its structure by collapsing its Up-C into a single-class common stock, and exited non-core custody and loyalty operations. The company is repositioning around three engines—Bakkt Markets, Bakkt Agent, and Bakkt Global—and has agreed to acquire Distributed Technologies Research to expand stablecoin and programmable finance capabilities.

Insights

Bakkt’s 2025 results show shrinking revenue but a cleaner, recapitalized platform business.

Bakkt generated GAAP revenue of $2,335.2 million, down 32.1%, as crypto trading volumes fell. Operating expenses also dropped 29.5%, mainly from lower crypto costs and execution, clearing and brokerage fees, but the firm still recorded a GAAP net loss of $132.2 million.

Strategically, management raised about $100 million, removed long-term debt, collapsed the legacy Up-C into a single-class structure, and divested non-core custody and loyalty businesses. Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $32.7 million, helped by higher other income and reduced SG&A, suggesting progress toward a more scalable cost base.

Future performance will depend on execution of the new three-engine model—Bakkt Markets, Agent, and Global—and on closing and integrating the Distributed Technologies Research acquisition. Management plans to detail its 2026 priorities at Investor Day on March 17, 2026, which may give additional clarity on growth and profitability pathways.

UPDATED: Bakkt Releases Shareholder Letter and Reports Full Year 2025 Financial Results
NEW YORK, NY – March 16, 2026 – Bakkt, Inc. (“Bakkt” or the “Company”) (NYSE:BKKT) today released a shareholder letter from Chief Executive Officer Akshay Naheta and reported its financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2025. The Company will discuss its results and 2026 strategic priorities at its Investor Day on March 17, 2026.
To our Shareholders:
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
I am writing to you for the first time as CEO of Bakkt.
When I joined the company, it was clear that significant rebuilding was required. Bakkt possessed something rare — a deep regulatory foundation and institutional pedigree rooted in its origins within Intercontinental Exchange — but the company itself had accumulated complexity over time. Strategy had become fragmented, resources were spread across non-core activities, and the platform lacked the technology architecture required for the financial system now emerging.
Much of 2025 was therefore spent doing the work required to rebuild the foundation.
This work was substantial and, at times, more difficult than anticipated. But it was necessary. Our objective was not simply to improve Bakkt as it existed — it was to reposition the company for the financial system that is now beginning to take shape.
The System That Is Changing
Periods in which the architecture of money changes are rare. When they occur, the effects extend far beyond currencies themselves.
Over the coming decade, three structural forces are likely to reshape global finance.
First, global debt levels across major economies are historically high. Monetary systems rarely remain static under those conditions.
Second, new digital systems are redefining how value can be stored, transferred, and programmed.
Third, artificial intelligence is accelerating both financial infrastructure and capital markets themselves.
When money evolves, two other systems evolve with it: how markets trade and how money moves.
Stablecoins are beginning to reshape payment rails.
Tokenization is shortening the distance between asset creation and settlement.
Digital assets are entering institutional portfolios.
Taken together, these changes represent a gradual re-platforming of global financial infrastructure.
We believe the next ten years will see that transition accelerate – exponentially.



Rebuilding Bakkt
Our strategy begins with a simple premise: infrastructure matters most during periods of systemic change.
Bakkt already possessed a valuable regulatory and institutional framework. What it lacked was the modern technology layer required to activate it.
During 2025 we focused on building that foundation.
We simplified the company, exited businesses that did not support our long-term direction, eliminated debt, and strengthened governance through the addition of Mike Alfred, Lyn Alden, and Richard Galvin to the Board.
At the same time, Bakkt began integrating the technology architecture developed by Distributed Technologies Research (DTR). That architecture introduces programmable financial infrastructure and AI-native systems capable of supporting modern payment flows, digital assets, and tokenized markets.
In simple terms:
Bakkt provides the regulatory and institutional infrastructure.
DTR provides the technology engine.
Together they form the foundation for what Bakkt can become.
The Platform
Bakkt is now being built as an integrated financial infrastructure platform with three operating engines.
Bakkt Markets provides regulated market access, trading infrastructure, and liquidity for digital assets.
Bakkt Agent enables programmable money movement and financial services through modular financial rails and AI-native architecture.
Bakkt Global extends this infrastructure internationally through disciplined expansion into high-growth markets.
Each engine serves a distinct function. Together they allow institutions, companies, and developers to access modern financial infrastructure without building the regulatory or technological stack themselves.
Our focus now is execution — expanding adoption, strengthening partnerships, and building durable infrastructure revenue over time.
Financial Results
Our financial results for 2025 reflect a company in transition.
They include the effects of restructuring and the exit of businesses that historically defined Bakkt but no longer represent its future. These actions impacted near-term results but were necessary to rebuild the company around a focused infrastructure platform.
During the second half of the year we began to see early contributions from the rebuilt business and the first signs of our international strategy taking shape.



As we move through 2026, our financial profile should increasingly reflect the underlying economics of this new platform.
Looking Ahead
Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, each component of the platform is positioned to scale alongside the structural shifts taking place in global finance.
Bakkt Markets will focus on stablecoin on-ramp and off-ramp infrastructure — one of the fastest-growing segments in digital finance. As fintech platforms, payment companies, and banks expand their digital asset capabilities, they increasingly require regulated partners for compliant fiat-to-stablecoin conversion. Bakkt Markets is positioned to power these rails for institutions building on stablecoin networks worldwide.
Bakkt Agent will roll out programmable financial capabilities built on modern payment rails — enabling companies to integrate stablecoin rails directly into their products and supporting programmable payments, financial automation, and AI-native financial services.
Bakkt Global remains in its early stages, but we have already established meaningful shareholder value through our investments in Japan and India. As these companies execute their business plans and scale their platforms, we expect the value of these investments to grow substantially.
Taken together, these three engines form a single platform: regulated market infrastructure, programmable payment rails, and a high-growth global strategy. Our task in the years ahead is to scale each layer steadily and responsibly as the financial system evolves.
Closing
2025 was a year of rebuilding.
Much of the heavy lifting is now behind us. What lies ahead is the work of execution — steady, disciplined, and focused on long-term value creation.
Thank you for your continued trust. We look forward to updating you on our progress. Stay tuned.
Sincerely,
Akshay Naheta
Chief Executive Officer
Bakkt, Inc.


FY 2025 and Recent Operational Highlights:
Strengthened balance sheet simplified structure:
oIn 2025, Bakkt completed strategic capital raises totaling approximately $100 million, enhancing its liquidity and supporting its strategic repositioning. During the year, the Company also eliminated its long-term debt, resulting in a debt-free balance sheet and significantly improving financial flexibility. On November 3, 2025, Bakkt completed the collapse of its legacy Up-C structure and transitioned to a single-class common stock



structure, simplifying its corporate organization, improving transparency, and aligning the Company with public market investors.
Completed divestiture of non-core custody and loyalty businesses:
oAs part of its strategic transformation, Bakkt exited non-core operations in 2025, signing a definitive agreement in Q1 2025 to divest its Custody business to ICE and entering into a definitive agreement on July 23, 2025 to sell its Loyalty business. The sale of the Loyalty business closed on October 1, 2025 and was reclassified as discontinued operations. These actions streamlined the Company’s structure and sharpened focus on core digital asset trading, payments, and infrastructure initiatives.
Launched new business solutions and rebrand:
oDuring 2025, Bakkt launched its unified strategic platform, including Bakkt Markets, Bakkt Agent, and Bakkt Global, to deliver regulated digital asset trading infrastructure, embedded financial solutions, and international expansion capabilities. Bakkt also completed a comprehensive corporate rebrand and website refresh in the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting the Company’s evolution into a next-generation digital financial infrastructure provider and aligning its public identity with its strategic direction.
Strengthened Board of Directors:
oDuring 2025, Bakkt enhanced its corporate governance and strategic leadership with key Board appointments, including the appointment of Mike Alfred, Lyn Alden, and Richard Galvin to its Board of Directors, bringing extensive experience in global capital markets, digital assets, and financial infrastructure. These additions strengthened oversight and strategic guidance as the Company executes its long-term growth initiatives.
Announced agreement to acquire Distributed Technologies Research (DTR):
oOn January 11, 2026, Bakkt entered into a definitive Share Purchase Agreement to acquire DTR, a global digital payments infrastructure provider focused on enabling secure and compliant movement of value across fiat and crypto payment rails. The acquisition is expected to expand Bakkt’s stablecoin payment capabilities and strengthen its position in global digital financial infrastructure.
FY 2025 Financial Results (unaudited):
GAAP revenue was $2,335.2 million, down 32.1% year-over-year, driven by decreased crypto trading volume.
Total operating expenses were $2,483.1 million, down 29.5% year-over-year primarily due to a decrease in crypto costs and execution, clearing and brokerage fees as a result of lower trading volume.
GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $97.7 million, primarily driven by the increase in share-based compensation booked in Q4 2025 for the option plan approved in the year and the TRA settlement expenses related to the collapse of the Up-C structure.
GAAP net loss was $132.2 million, primarily driven by the loss from discontinued operations of $34.6 million, from the sale of the Loyalty business in 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was negative $32.7 million, improving 42.9% year-over-year primarily due to $24.5 million increase in other income primarily from derivative asset and $11.7 million reduction in SG&A expenses.

Note on Forward-Looking Statements
This release and accompanying remarks contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “will,” “likely,” “expect,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “outlook,” “grow,” “progress,” “potential” or other variations of these terms, as well as similar expressions that discuss future plans, actions, or events. The absence of such words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of Bakkt, Inc. (the “Company”) and are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies—many of which are difficult to predict and are beyond the Company’s control. Forward-looking statements in this release may include, for example, statements about: expectations regarding the Company’s strategic transformation and completion thereof; future financial and operational performance; expansion of Bakkt Markets, Agent, and Global; anticipated benefits of investment in international markets; product launches and scalability; cost optimization and



capital structure; industry growth in stablecoins, tokenization and digital assets; governance initiatives; and regulatory developments.
Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those anticipated due to a number of factors, including but not limited to: the Company’s ability to grow and manage growth profitably; the Company's ability to complete its acquisition of Distributed Technologies Research Global Ltd. (“DTR”), which remains subject to customary closing conditions, including shareholder vote; whether the Company will be able to successfully integrate its operations with those of DTR, including its infrastructure, and achieve the expected benefits therefrom; the regulatory environment for digital assets and digital stablecoin payments; changes in the Company’s business strategy; the Company's adoption of its updated Investment Policy (“Investment Policy”) and related treasury strategy, including the Company’s ability to successfully consummate acquisitions, integrate or manage investments in potential acquisition targets and investees; the price of digital assets, including Bitcoin; risks associated with owning digital assets, including Bitcoin, including price volatility, limited liquidity and trading volumes, relative anonymity, potential widespread susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges and other risks inherent in its entirely electronic, virtual, form and decentralized network; the fluctuation of the Company’s operating results, including because the Company may be required to account for its digital assets at fair value; the Company’s ability to time the price of its purchase of digital assets pursuant to its strategy; the impact of the market value of digital assets on the Company’s ability to satisfy its financial obligations, including any debt financings; unrealized fair value gains on its digital asset holdings subjecting the Company to the corporate alternative minimum tax; legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty regarding digital assets and enhanced regulatory oversight of companies holding digital assets including the possibility that regulators reclassify any digital assets the Company holds, including Bitcoin, as a security causing the Company to be in violation of securities laws and be classified as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940; competition by other Bitcoin treasury companies and the availability of spot-traded products for Bitcoin; enhanced regulatory oversight as a result of the Company’s Investment Policy and related treasury strategy; the possibility of experiencing greater fraud, security failures or operational problems on digital asset trading venues compared to trading venues for more established asset classes, and any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of the underlying blockchain protocols, or other technological difficulties, may prevent access to or use of such digital assets; the concentration of the Company’s expected digital asset holdings relative to non-digital assets; the inability to use the Company’s digital asset holdings as a source of liquidity to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents, due to, for example, risks associated with digital assets and other risks inherent to its entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network; the Company or a third-party service provider experiencing a security breach or cyber-attack where unauthorized parties obtain access to its digital assets; the loss of access to or theft or data loss of the Company’s digital assets, which could be unrecoverable due to the immutable nature of blockchain transactions; if the Company elects to hold its digital assets through a third-party custodian, the loss of direct control over its digital assets and dependence on the custodian’s security practices and operational integrity which may lead to the loss of its digital assets as a result of the insolvency of the custodian, theft by employees or insiders of the custodian or if the custodian’s security measures are comprised, including as a result of a cyber-attack; the Company not being subject to the legal and regulatory protections applicable to investment companies such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, or to obligations applicable to investment advisers; the non-performance, breach of contract or other violations by counterparties assisting the Company in effecting its Investment Policy and related treasury strategy; the Company’s future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash, including funds to satisfy its liquidity needs; the Company’s ability to raise capital and investments in us, including



by our chief executive officer; changes in the market in which the Company competes, including with respect to its competitive landscape, technology evolution or changes in applicable laws or regulations; changes in the markets that the Company targets; volatility and disruptions in the digital asset, digital payments and stablecoin markets that subject the Company to additional risks, including the risk that banks may not provide banking services to the Company and market sentiments regarding digital assets, digital payments and stablecoins; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other macroeconomic, geopolitical, business, and/or competitive factors; the Company’s ability to launch new services and products, including with its expected commercial partners, or to profitably expand into new markets and services; the Company’s ability to execute its growth strategies, including identifying and executing acquisitions and divestitures and the Company’s initiatives to add new clients; the Company’s ability to reach definitive agreements with its expected commercial counterparties; the Company’s failure to comply with extensive government regulations, oversight, licensure and appraisals; uncertain and evolving regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, stablecoins, digital payments and digital assets; the Company’s ability to establish and maintain effective internal controls and procedures; the exposure to any liability, protracted and costly litigation or reputational damage relating to the Company’s data security; the impact of any goodwill or other intangible assets impairments on the Company’s operating results; and the Company’s ability to maintain the listing of its securities on the New York Stock Exchange.
These and other risks are detailed in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025, and the risk factors regarding the Company’s treasury strategy set forth in Exhibit 99.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed June 10, 2025.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes discussions of non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP measures have no standardized meaning and are not defined under GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or as superior to the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to assist in evaluating its performance for purposes of business decision-making. The Company believes that presenting non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it (a) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items that we believe do not directly reflect our core operations, (b) permits investors to view performance using the same tools that we use to budget, forecast, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (c) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating our results. These measures are provided on a supplemental basis for transparency and comparability, and do not modify reported GAAP revenue.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss from continuing operations and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

FAQ

What were Bakkt (BKKT)’s GAAP revenues for full-year 2025?

Bakkt reported GAAP revenue of $2,335.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. This was down 32.1% from 2024, primarily because crypto trading volumes declined, which reduced revenue from its crypto services business line.

How much did Bakkt (BKKT) lose in 2025 on a GAAP basis?

Bakkt recorded a GAAP net loss of $132.2 million for 2025. This includes a $97.7 million loss from continuing operations and a $34.6 million loss from discontinued operations related mainly to the sale of its Loyalty business during the year.

How did Bakkt’s 2025 Adjusted EBITDA compare to 2024?

Bakkt’s Adjusted EBITDA loss was $32.7 million in 2025, an improvement of 42.9% versus 2024. The improvement was driven largely by higher other income, primarily from a derivative asset, and lower SG&A expenses after restructuring and refocusing the business.

What strategic balance sheet actions did Bakkt (BKKT) take in 2025?

In 2025, Bakkt completed approximately $100 million of strategic capital raises and eliminated its long-term debt. It also collapsed its legacy Up-C structure into a single-class common stock, simplifying governance and aligning more closely with public market investors.

Which non-core businesses did Bakkt exit during 2025?

Bakkt exited its non-core Custody and Loyalty businesses in 2025. It signed an agreement in early 2025 to divest Custody to ICE and sold its Loyalty business, which closed on October 1, 2025 and was classified as discontinued operations for reporting.

What is Bakkt’s new platform strategy with Markets, Agent, and Global?

Bakkt is building an integrated platform with three engines: Bakkt Markets for regulated digital asset trading, Bakkt Agent for programmable money movement and financial services, and Bakkt Global for international expansion, allowing institutions and developers to access modern financial infrastructure without building it themselves.

What acquisition did Bakkt announce related to Distributed Technologies Research (DTR)?

On January 11, 2026, Bakkt entered a definitive agreement to acquire DTR, a digital payments infrastructure provider. The deal is expected to enhance Bakkt’s stablecoin payment capabilities and strengthen its role in global digital financial infrastructure, subject to customary closing conditions including shareholder approval.
