    Silver Spring, Maryland--(Newsfile Corp. - May 15, 2025) - BTCS Inc. (NASDAQ:BTCS) ("BTCS" or the "Company"), a leader in blockchain infrastructure and technology, announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ("Q1 2025").

    Q1 2025 Financial Highlights

    • Revenue: $1.7 million, up 274% from $0.5 million in Q1 2024, but down 27% from $2.3 million in Q4 2024 due to lower crypto prices.
    • Gross Margin: 7%, down primarily due to increased operational expenses related to expanding our Builder+ operations, which has been driving revenue growth.
    • Net Income/Loss: Net loss of $17.3 million, or $0.86 per share, compared to net income of $12.3 million, or $0.78 per share, in Q1 2024, primarily driven by crypto price market volatility during the respective periods.
    • Cash and Cryptocurrency Holdings: $20.4 million as of March 31, 2025, down 43% from $38.0 million at year-end 2024, primarily due to the market impact of macroeconomic factors.

    Q1 2025 was affected by a broad crypto market pullback tied to tariff-related macroeconomic uncertainty. Despite a 43% decline in asset values, revenue fell only 27% quarter-over-quarter and grew 274% year-over-year, highlighting increased production and infrastructure scale. We remain focused on improving Builder+ margins as we drive order flow growth and expand our presence in the block-building market.

    Post-Quarter Financial Updates (as of May 13, 2025)

    • Crypto Asset Recovery: The fair market value of crypto assets increased approximately 53% to $30.7 million, compared to March 31, 2025, reflecting a rebound in crypto market prices following Q1 macro-driven volatility.
    • Cash Position Strengthened: Cash and cash equivalents increased to approximately $7.8 million, primarily due to the receipt of $7.4 million in proceeds from a convertible note financing completed after quarter-end.
    • Total Liquid Holdings: Combined cash and crypto assets increased to approximately $38.5 million, up 88% from March 31, 2025.

    Management Commentary

    In the first quarter of 2025, BTCS made continued progress in scaling its Ethereum-focused infrastructure, expanding its presence across critical layers of the ecosystem. Our strategy remains centered on driving long-term shareholder value by growing revenue, improving margins, and deepening our control of block space through technology upgrades and increased order flow.

    To support this strategy, we executed several key initiatives during the quarter:

    • Staker Protection Plan ("SPP"): We officially launched the SPP this quarter, marking a significant milestone in our validator-focused strategy. Developed in partnership with Figment, a global leader in staking infrastructure, and WonderFi, a premier digital asset platform, the SPP is designed to address transaction inclusion, compliance requirements, and predictable validator revenue. The program introduces new capabilities to support institutional validators and lays the groundwork for broader adoption across the Ethereum ecosystem.
    • Strategic Partnership and Investment in ETHGas: BTCS became a Priority Builder through a $250,000 investment in ETHGas, a low-latency blockspace infrastructure provider. This positions BTCS to play a pivotal role in the evolution of Ethereum blockspace markets, enabling faster transaction execution and expanding our influence in pre-sold blockspace solutions.
    • Technology Stack Optimization: We successfully transitioned our Builder+ platform to Rust, replacing Go, and migrated most of our infrastructure from AWS to bare-metal servers. These upgrades have significantly improved performance, reduced latency, and lowered operational costs—enhancing both efficiency and scalability.
    • Scaled Validator Implementation with Rocket Pool: BTCS expanded its validator node operations through a strategic integration with Rocket Pool, deploying hundreds of nodes as part of a vertically integrated model designed to increase validator rewards and support decentralization.

    Industry & Market Commentary

    The digital asset market experienced elevated volatility in early 2025, largely driven by macroeconomic uncertainty, including global tariff concerns. Despite these pressures, the structural fundamentals of the blockchain industry remain intact, with continued momentum across infrastructure, regulatory clarity, and Ethereum protocol development.

    On May 7, Ethereum successfully completed its highly anticipated Pectra upgrade, introducing critical scalability enhancements and user-focused improvements such as increased maximum effective stake for validators and support for multi-token gas payments. These changes are expected to reduce infrastructure costs for validators, improve user experience, and unlock new use cases—solidifying Ethereum's role as the leading smart contract platform and reinforcing our strategic focus on this network.

    While near-term market conditions remain uncertain, we believe BTCS is well-positioned to benefit from long-term industry tailwinds. Our continued infrastructure investments, expanding builder market share, and validator scaling initiatives place us in a strong position to capitalize on future opportunities as the market normalizes and blockchain adoption advances.
