Total revenue in the first quarter of 2025 showed a significant 97% increase, reaching $31.8 million compared to $16.2 million in the same period of 2024. This growth was driven by a substantial increase in transaction volumes on both the Online Bitcoin Portal and Bitcoin Well Infinite.
ÂSpecifically, the Online segment experienced 111% revenue growth, reaching $15.2 million in Q1 2025, compared to $7.2 million in Q1 2024. Bitcoin Well Infinite also demonstrated strong growth, with a 374% increase in revenue, reaching $11.7 million, compared to $2.5 million in the previous year. This overall growth was partially offset by a decline in ATM sales, which decreased to $4.9 million in Q1 2025 from $6.5 million last year.
ÂÂ Bitcoin Well Founder and CEO Adam O'Brien announced the division of online sales into two separate business units starting in 2025: the Online Bitcoin Portal and the newly established Bitcoin Well Infinite business unit. Bitcoin Well Infinite facilitates large bitcoin transactions ($50,000 and above) for high-net-worth individuals and businesses in Canada, the USA, and internationally.
Â"We expect the strong revenue growth from both business units to continue throughout 2025," stated Adam O'Brien. "The Bitcoin Well Infinite high touch segment will offer a secure and personalized private banking-style solution with a self custody first approach for clients seeking long-term wealth preservation. With our strategic partnerships we are able to service regions broader than just Canada and the United States and have already facilitated transactions world-wide."
ÂGross profit for Q1 2025 saw a 35% increase to $1.1 million, compared to $0.8 million in Q1 of the previous year, attributed to higher revenue with the gross margin decreasing to 3.4% from 5.0% last year. This decrease was due to a shift in sales mix, with lower margin online and Bitcoin Well Infinite transactions now making up a larger share than high margin Bitcoin ATM sales.
ÂDespite having a lower gross profit margin than Bitcoin ATMs, both the Bitcoin Portal and Bitcoin Well Infinite are more scalable and have lower expansion costs, making them the preferred business units for growth. Q1 2025 saw a gross margin of 1.5% in the Online Bitcoin Portal segment (compared to 0.7% in Q1 2024) and 1.8% in the Bitcoin Well Infinite segment (compared to 1.7% in Q1 2024).
ÂNet income improved from a loss of $9.8 million in Q4 2024 to a positive $3.3 million in Q1 2025, primarily due to favourable fair value changes related to cryptocurrency loans and realized gains on the disposal of digital assets. Loss before other items saw a slight improvement, decreasing to $1.2 million from $1.3 million in Q1 2024.
