BTCS Reports 305% Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth to Record $16.5 Million for Full Year 2025

Revenue growth driven by expanding Builder+ block-building activity, with Imperium delivering $1.3 million in revenue following its Q3’25 launch

WAYNE, Pa., March 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BTCS Inc. (Nasdaq: BTCS) (“BTCS” or the “Company”), short for Blockchain Technology Consensus Solutions, a company focused on blockchain infrastructure and decentralized finance operations, today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“FY 2025”). The Company also released an updated investor presentation available at www.btcs.com/investors/.

2025 was a transformative year for BTCS as we scaled our Ethereum-first operating model and delivered record revenue,” said Charles Allen, Chief Executive Officer of BTCS. “Revenue grew over 300%, driven by the expansion of Builder+, our block-building business, and the successful launch of Imperium, our decentralized finance segment. Rather than relying on staking income alone, we are actively deploying digital assets across infrastructure and DeFi to build durable, recurring revenue streams. Our focus remains on disciplined execution as we scale operations and become profitable.”

Financial Highlights

Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights

1

  • Revenue increased 305% to $16.5 million, compared to $4.1 million in 2024. Revenue growth during 2025 was driven primarily by the continued expansion of Builder+ block-building operations and staking activities, along with the Q3’25 launch of Imperium decentralized finance activities.
  • Blockchain infrastructure revenue, comprised of staking (NodeOps) and block-building (Builder+) operations, totaled $15.2 million, representing approximately 92% of total revenue, driven primarily by the continued expansion of Builder+ block-building operations as transaction activity and blockspace demand across the Ethereum ecosystem increased.
  • DeFi revenue totaled approximately $1.3 million, representing approximately 8% of total revenue, following the launch of Imperium and its initial scaling during 2025.
  • Gross profit increased to approximately $2.0 million from $0.9 million in 2024; however, gross margin declined to approximately 12% from 23% in the prior year, primarily reflecting higher validator payments and infrastructure costs associated with scaling Builder+ operations.

Balance Sheet Highlights

  • Total assets increased over 460% to approximately $214.6 million at December 31, 2025, reflecting expansion of the Company’s digital asset holdings, infrastructure operations, and the use of equity and debt financing during the year.
  • Ethereum (ETH) holdings increased to 70,787 ETH at December 31, 2025, representing a 680% year-over-year increase.
  • Total liabilities increased to approximately $75.2 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting ETH-backed borrowings through decentralized finance protocols and convertible notes issued during the year.
  • Common shares outstanding increased to 46.9 million during 2025 as the Company raised capital through its at-the-market program while also repurchasing shares under its previously announced share repurchase program.
  • As of March 22, 2026, the Company’s total cash and digital asset balance totaled $126.4 million, inclusive of 57,633 ETH, and total debt obligations amounted to $61.8 million.

Michael Prevoznik, Chief Financial Officer of BTCS, stated, “2025 demonstrated the scalability of our infrastructure-focused business model. Revenue from Builder+ and staking grew significantly, while Imperium added a new, higher-margin revenue stream. Our focus in 2026 remains on expanding these higher-margin opportunities while maintaining disciplined capital management. In response to recent market volatility, we proactively reduced leverage by approximately $18.7 million, bringing our total debt to $61.8 million.”

Operational Highlights

  • In Q3’25, BTCS launched Imperium, a decentralized finance operating segment focused on deploying digital assets into DeFi protocols as a liquidity provider and market participant.
  • Throughout the year, BTCS partnered with several companies including MetaMask, ETHGas, and NuConstruct to further expand order flow for the Company’s block building business.
  • BTCS became the first public company to integrate Aave, a leading decentralized lending and borrowing platform into its operations.
  • In Q1’26, BTCS expanded Imperium through integrations with Sorella Labs and Gauntlet to further expand on-chain liquidity provision opportunities and high-margin revenue generation.

Ben Hunter, Chief Technology Officer of BTCS, emphasized, “The blockchain ecosystem has continued to evolve, and we believe that BTCS is well-positioned through our infrastructure capabilities and DeFi initiatives to pursue long-term growth opportunities across the Ethereum economy. In 2025, BTCS partnered with companies across the industry to strengthen and scale our blockchain technology stack, supporting the continued development of our Ethereum-focused strategy.”

Company Commentary and Outlook

BTCS entered 2026 focused on scaling Imperium, its higher-margin decentralized finance business line. In support of this objective, the Company realigned its 2026 performance incentive program to place greater emphasis on profitability, including a new gross profit target of $6 million, which represents approximately three times 2025 levels. This focus is intended to better align executives, employees, and shareholders as BTCS continues to build a long-term, sustainable, and profitable business model.

Builder+ was the primary driver of revenue growth in 2025, as the Company expanded its participation in Ethereum block-building markets and increased order-flow relationships across the ecosystem. While blockspace markets remained competitive, management believes that continued investment in scale and order-flow relationships will strengthen BTCS’s market position and support margin expansion and long-term growth.

In 2026, the Company expects Imperium to represent a larger proportion of total revenue, following its launch in the second half of 2025 and as it continues to scale into the new year. As a higher-margin business line, Imperium is expected to play an increasingly important role in the Company’s operating model by enabling deployment of digital assets across decentralized finance protocols to generate liquidity provision fees and other protocol-based income.

Mr. Allen added, “As the Company’s largest shareholder, my goal is to build long-term value through disciplined execution and sustainable growth. We believe this is achieved not simply by accumulating digital assets or relying on asset price appreciation, but by actively generating recurring, high-margin revenue from our infrastructure and DeFi operations.This operating approach differentiates BTCS in the public markets and supports stockholder value creation.”
