Revenue Takes A Sharp Hit The Bitcoin sales came as Exodus reported a steep drop in earnings. Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31 fell to $22.7 million, down from $36 million during the same period a year ago — a decline of nearly 37%. Exchange aggregation, which accounts for the bulk of company income, took the hardest hit, falling almost $14 million as user trading activity slowed significantly.

Exodus pointed to macroeconomic pressures — including revised Federal Reserve growth projections and uncertainty around tariff policy — as contributing factors. The company also warned that price swings in digital assets could continue to affect its results in coming quarters. Net Loss More Than Doubled The financial results reflected more than just a drop in trading. Exodus posted a net loss of $32 million for the quarter, compared to a nearly $13 million loss in Q1 2025. The company’s broader digital asset portfolio recorded a net loss of $36.4 million, driven by $76.8 million in unrealized losses, though partially offset by $40.4 million in realized gains on asset exchanges.
