Fold Holdings (NASDAQ: FLD) Q1 2026 revenue falls as bitcoin losses mount
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Fold Holdings, Inc. reported weaker results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, as lower bitcoin prices hurt activity and its treasury. Revenue was $5.6 million, a 21.1% year-over-year decrease, reflecting a drop in transaction volumes.
The company posted a net loss of $29.2 million, with a substantial loss of $28.6 million on digital assets in its investment treasury. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $5.8 million, or $0.12 per share, compared with a $4.2 million loss a year earlier.
Bitcoin investment treasury holdings were 826 BTC, and total assets fell to $78.3 million from $153.5 million at December 31, 2025, largely due to digital asset movements and debt extinguishment. Total transaction volume was $172 million, down 32% year over year, though the company still had nearly 85,000 verified accounts.
Management highlighted more than 1,000 Fold Bitcoin Rewards Credit Cards in circulation, an approximately 80,000-person waiting list, and plans to restructure Bitcoin Gift Card fees to accelerate distribution and customer acquisition.
Positive
- Product traction in credit and gift cards: More than 1,000 Fold Bitcoin Rewards Credit Cards are in circulation with an approximately 80,000-person waiting list, and Bitcoin Gift Cards are available online and in about 2,000 Kroger locations, supporting user acquisition and ecosystem engagement.
Negative
- Sharp revenue and volume declines: Q1 2026 revenue was $5.6 million, a 21.1% year-over-year decrease, with total transaction volume down 32% to $172 million, indicating weaker activity across the platform.
- Large net loss and worsening Adjusted EBITDA: Net loss was $29.2 million versus $48.9 million a year earlier, but Adjusted EBITDA loss widened to $5.8 million from $4.2 million, showing continued operating pressure.
- Significant digital asset losses and asset shrinkage: Loss on digital assets in the investment treasury was $28.6 million, and total assets fell to $78.3 million from $153.5 million at December 31, 2025, materially reducing the balance sheet size.
Insights
Fold’s Q1 shows pressure from bitcoin volatility, with large digital asset losses and shrinking assets.
Fold generated Q1 2026 revenue of $5.6 million, down 21.1% year over year, as total transaction volume fell 32% to $172 million. Core operations still ran at a loss, with Adjusted EBITDA at $(5.8) million.
The most striking element is digital asset exposure. The company recorded a $(28.6) million loss on its bitcoin investment treasury, and total assets declined from $153.5 million at December 31, 2025 to $78.3 million at March 31, 2026, while liabilities stayed relatively high at $42.0 million.
Management points to growth initiatives, including over 1,000 bitcoin rewards credit cards in circulation, an approximately 80,000-person waitlist, and restructuring of Bitcoin Gift Card fees to drive distribution. Future disclosures in periodic reports and earnings updates will clarify whether these products can offset crypto-driven volatility in results.

Announces First Quarter 2026 Results
Revenues: $5.6 million, 21.1% YoY decrease
Transaction Volumes down 32% YoY
More than 1,000 Fold Bitcoin Credit Cards in Circulation
Restructuring fees on Bitcoin Gift Card to Drive Distribution
PHOENIX – May 12, 2026
Fold Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLD) (“Fold”, “we”, or “our”), the first publicly traded bitcoin financial services company, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Q1 2026 Financial Highlights
Q1 2026 Key Operating Metrics
CEO Commentary
“Q1 was a challenging quarter across the broader Bitcoin industry. Lower Bitcoin prices pressured transaction volumes, trading activity, and consumer engagement, and Fold saw that pressure in our results,” said Fold Chairman and CEO Will Reeves. “But as with past drawdown cycles, we believe the fundamental value proposition, technological value, and network effects of bitcoin remain strong. We are focused on what we can control, and we continue to put our energy and focus into building our products and serving our customers. Importantly, Fold remains focused on building a scalable platform with multiple interconnected products that we believe will drive durable and long-term growth.”
Mr. Reeves continued, “We continued the rollout of the Fold Bitcoin Rewards Credit Card this quarter and now have approximately 1,000 cards in circulation. We expect to expand distribution in the coming months and meet the market’s high demand for this game changing product. While still early, initial user feedback is positive and initial cohort data is promising. Cardholders are already engaging with multiple products in our ecosystem, validating our belief that the card can become both a powerful acquisition engine and a major driver of ecosystem engagement over time. ”
He added, “The Bitcoin Gift Card also remains an important part of our growth strategy and continues to perform strongly. Through this product we have onboarded thousands of new customers and reengaged existing users through a familiar retail experience, and many of these users are now engaging across the broader Fold ecosystem. Our flagship relationship with Kroger has been a success, and we believe this model can scale nationally across additional retailers. To support that growth, we are restructuring our gift card economics with distribution partners to materially reduce customer friction and improve retail placement opportunities.”
Mr. Reeves concluded, “Despite a challenging market backdrop, we believe Fold made significant progress in the first quarter and, more importantly, laid the foundation for what comes next. With credit gaining traction, a more aggressive customer acquisition strategy in place, and continued improvements to our platform, we believe Fold is well-positioned to grow, increase engagement, and build a valuable, long-term business.”

These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the rollout, development and expected effect of Fold’s credit card program and gift card product, and the potential success of Fold’s overall market, product and growth strategies. These statements are based on assumptions and on the current expectations of Fold’s management and are not predictions of actual performance.

If any of these risks materialize or Fold’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. While Fold may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Fold specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to net 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, and (vi) impairments, restructuring charges, and business acquisition- or disposition-related expenses 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 provides 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:
