Gemini (GEMI) delivered fourth-quarter revenue reaching $60.3 million, representing a 39% increase compared to the prior year period and surpassing Wall Street consensus estimates of approximately $51.7 million. Shares initially jumped 14% in after-hours trading before moderating to approximately 6% gains.
This marked the cryptocurrency exchange’s second earnings report following its Nasdaq debut in September. Since reaching its post-IPO peak, the stock has declined roughly 82%.
While revenue exceeded expectations, profitability metrics deteriorated. The Q4 net loss totaled $140.8 million, equivalent to $1.22 per share, contrasting sharply with the $27 million loss recorded in the comparable quarter one year prior. For the complete 2025 fiscal year, losses accumulated to $585 million, substantially higher than the $156.6 million reported in 2024.

Co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss credited the revenue expansion to strategic fee structure adjustments implemented during the latter half of 2025, combined with increasing uptake of Gemini’s credit card offering. Notably, this growth occurred despite declining trading volumes — typically an unfavorable indicator for exchange platforms.
The Winklevoss twins highlighted Q4 as representing the company’s strongest revenue quarter over a three-year span, providing a positive top-line narrative. However, the expanding losses underscore the substantial gap between operational expenditures and revenue generation.
Staff Reductions and Artificial Intelligence Integration
Gemini disclosed it has eliminated approximately 30% of its employee base since the beginning of 2026. The company had previously announced in February plans to reduce headcount by 25%, with artificial intelligence adoption serving as a contributing factor.
In their communication to shareholders, the co-founders 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.
Additionally, three senior leadership positions — Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Legal Officer — have experienced departures in recent months.
This restructuring occurs against a challenging cryptocurrency market environment. Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline from its record high exceeding $126,000 in October 2025, creating headwinds for cryptocurrency-related equities.
Gemini announced in February its decision to exit the UK, EU and Australian markets, referencing challenging regional conditions. The exchange indicated intentions to “concentrate efforts and double down on America,” citing what leadership perceives as a more supportive regulatory framework under current US market oversight.
Prediction Markets and Credit Card Strategy
Gemini introduced its proprietary prediction market platform, Gemini Predictions, throughout all 50 US states in December 2025, following authorization from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The Winklevoss brothers indicated plans to enhance and broaden this offering throughout 2026. They also outlined intentions to leverage identical infrastructure for perpetual futures contracts, subject to US regulatory clearance.
The credit card product and primary exchange platform remain central strategic focuses alongside the predictions offering for the coming year.
Citigroup analyst Peter Christiansen has previously commented that Gemini requires distinct competitive advantages to effectively compete against larger competitors like Coinbase. “In the absence of genuine differentiation and unique value propositions that competitors lack, we believe it will prove challenging for them to close the gap,” he noted.
GEMI concluded Thursday’s standard trading session relatively unchanged at approximately $6.00.
