Gemini (GEMI) reported fourth-quarter revenue reaching $60.3 million, marking a 39% increase versus the same period last year and surpassing Wall Street’s consensus forecast of approximately $51.7 million. Shares initially jumped 14% in extended trading before moderating to roughly a 6% gain.
These quarterly figures represented the cryptocurrency exchange’s second earnings report since its Nasdaq debut last September. Since reaching its peak, the stock has plummeted approximately 82%.
While revenue exceeded projections, profitability metrics deteriorated significantly. The fourth-quarter net loss expanded to $140.8 million, equivalent to $1.22 per share, versus $27 million during the comparable quarter of the previous year. For the complete 2025 fiscal year, losses totaled $585 million, substantially higher than the $156.6 million recorded in 2024.

Co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss credited the revenue expansion to revised fee structures implemented during the latter half of 2025, combined with increasing uptake of Gemini’s credit card offering. This growth materialized despite declining trading volumes—typically an unfavorable indicator for exchange platforms.
The Winklevoss twins highlighted Q4 as the company’s strongest revenue quarter over the past three years, representing a positive headline metric. However, the expanding losses underscore ongoing challenges with expenditures significantly outpacing revenue generation.
Staff Reductions and Artificial Intelligence
Gemini disclosed that approximately 30% of its workforce has been eliminated since early 2026. The exchange had previously announced in February plans to reduce headcount by 25%, with artificial intelligence adoption being a contributing factor.
In their communication to shareholders, the brothers revealed that AI currently generates over 40% of Gemini’s production code modifications, with expectations for this percentage to approach 100%. “Refusing to utilize AI at Gemini will soon be comparable to arriving at the office with a typewriter rather than a laptop,” they stated.
Three senior leadership positions—including the COO, CFO, and CLO—have also exited the organization in recent months.
This restructuring occurs against challenging cryptocurrency market conditions. Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline from its October 2025 all-time peak above $126,000, creating headwinds for crypto-related equities.
Gemini revealed in February its decision to withdraw from the UK, EU, and Australian markets, attributing the move to challenging regional conditions. The exchange indicated plans to “concentrate and intensify efforts on America,” highlighting what management perceives as a more supportive regulatory landscape in the US under current oversight authorities.
Forecasting Platform and Payment Card
Gemini introduced its proprietary prediction market platform, Gemini Predictions, nationwide across all 50 US states in December 2025, following licensure from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The Winklevoss brothers indicated intentions to enhance and broaden this offering throughout 2026. They additionally highlighted plans to leverage identical infrastructure for perpetual futures contracts, subject to US regulatory clearance.
The payment card and primary exchange operations remain central strategic focuses alongside the predictions platform for the coming year.
Citigroup analyst Peter Christiansen has previously noted that Gemini requires distinct competitive advantages to rival larger competitors like Coinbase. “Without genuine, meaningful differentiation and value propositions that competitors lack, we believe it will prove challenging for them to close the gap,” he commented.
GEMI concluded Thursday’s regular trading session unchanged at approximately $6.00.
