Overall revenue in the second quarter of 2024 was $21.0 million, compared to $13.4 million in Q3 2023 (+57%), Â driven by higher transaction volumes on the Bitcoin Portal. Revenue from the Company's Online segment grew to $15.1 million in Q3 2024 from $4.9 million last year, an improvement of 209%. On a year-to date basis, revenue increased to $60.5 million, compared to $40.9 million in the first nine months of 2023 (+48%). Revenue from the Online segment grew to $41.4 million for the nine-month period from $16.6 million last year, marking growth of 148% YoY.
"We are proud of the growth of the Bitcoin Portal," said Adam O'Brien, founder and CEO of Bitcoin Well. "We have been working hard to create the best bitcoin platform which empowers our customers to take and use bitcoin in self custody. Our growth is a symbol that we have achieved product market fit. Now we are focused on exponential growth by tapping into the toughest and most resilient community in the world; the bitcoin community."
Overall gross profit declined to $0.9 million in Q3 2024 from $1.1 million last year (-18%) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 declined to $2.8 million from $3.4 million last year (-19%). The decline is primarily driven by a change in sales mix, with lower margin online transactions now making up a larger proportion relative to the high margin Bitcoin ATM sales. The Company sees this as a necessary stepping stone to successfully transition the business into a highly scalable online bitcoin platform.
The Company is experiencing a significant rate of growth on its Bitcoin Portal, which has now exceeded 27,000 unique signups as at November 4, 2024. This represents user growth of 23% from June 30, 2024 and 127% from December 31, 2023.
In addition, the Company's initiatives to increase the gross profit on the Bitcoin Portal have been successful. Gross profit from the Bitcoin Portal was $0.2 million for the 3-months ended September 30, 2024 (Q3 2023: $15 thousand, +1,198%) and $0.5 million for the 9-months ended September 30, 2024 (2023: $0.3 million, +86%).
Further, gross margin has improved to 1.3% in Q3 2024 from just 0.3% in the same quarter last year (+313% improvement), and these initiatives continue. This includes building products such as Lite Accounts and Cash Vouchers, and in the future, the ability to buy gift cards to popular merchants and stores with bitcoin.
Adjusted EBITDA declined to negative $0.6 million in Q3 2024 from negative $0.1 million in Q3 2023 and to negative $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from negative $0.6 million last year. These declines were primarily due to higher marketing expenses and professional fees.
Year-to-date in 2024, the Company has made significant investments in marketing and advertising initiatives to promote usage of the Bitcoin Portal. Marketing and advertising expenses in Q3 2024 were $0.5 million, reflecting a $0.3 million increase from Q3 2023 (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - increased to $0.9 million from $0.3 million last year). The higher professional fees in 2024 was due to non-recurring legal fees incurred to vigorously litigate against Rapid Cash ATM Ltd. due to their alleged breach of contract in October 2023.
