Adjusted net income was $14.3 million, compared to a $6 million loss in Q2 2025.
The headline net loss of $280 million, or $1.78 per share, compares to a $108.3 million loss, or 93 cents per share, a year earlier. Most of that loss came from a $244.6 million markdown on the company’s Bitcoin holdings as BTC prices fell during the quarter.
Bitcoin traded around $63,706 on Thursday, well below its record high of above $126,000 reached in October 2025.
Subscription and services revenue, which includes CoinDesk event revenue and margin loans, hit a record $62.7 million, up from $32.9 million in Q2 2025. That growth helped offset the softer trading environment.
Adjusted transaction revenue rose to $29.9 million from $24.1 million, even as digital asset sales dropped to $32.6 billion from $58.6 billion in the prior year period.
Trading volumes have pulled back across major exchanges as crypto prices have stayed under pressure from tighter macroeconomic conditions.

For the full year, Bullish guided subscription, services and other revenue of $225 million to $245 million.
