These figures mark the cryptocurrency exchange’s second earnings release since its public debut on the Nasdaq last September. Since reaching its post-IPO peak, the stock has plummeted approximately 82%.
While revenue exceeded expectations, profitability metrics deteriorated sharply. The company recorded a Q4 net loss of $140.8 million, translating to $1.22 per share, a substantial increase from the $27 million loss reported during the equivalent quarter one year prior. For the complete 2025 fiscal year, total losses reached $585 million, significantly higher than the $156.6 million recorded in 2024.

Founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss credited the revenue expansion to strategic fee structure modifications implemented during the latter half of 2025, combined with increasing uptake of Gemini’s branded credit card offering. Notably, this growth occurred despite declining trading volumes — typically an unfavorable indicator for exchange platforms.
The Winklevoss twins characterized Q4 as the company’s strongest revenue performance in a three-year span, representing a positive data point. However, the expanding losses underscore the substantial gap between operational expenses and revenue generation.
Staff Reductions and Artificial Intelligence Integration
Gemini disclosed it has reduced its workforce by approximately 30% since the beginning of 2026. The company had previously announced in February that it would implement layoffs affecting 25% of personnel, partially motivated by expanded artificial intelligence deployment.
In their letter to shareholders, the founders revealed that AI systems now generate over 40% of Gemini’s production code modifications, with expectations for this figure to approach 100%. “Not using AI at Gemini will soon be the equivalent of showing up to work with a typewriter instead of a laptop,” they stated.
Additionally, three senior leadership positions — including the COO, CFO, and CLO — have been vacated in recent months.
These developments unfold against a challenging cryptocurrency market environment. Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline from its October 2025 all-time high exceeding $126,000, creating headwinds for cryptocurrency-related equities.
Gemini also revealed in February its decision to cease operations in the UK, EU, and Australia, citing challenging market dynamics. The company indicated its strategy to “focus and double down on America,” referencing what it perceives as a more supportive regulatory landscape in the US under current oversight authorities.
Prediction Markets and Card Services
Gemini introduced its proprietary prediction market platform, Gemini Predictions, nationwide across all 50 US states in December 2025, following approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The Winklevoss brothers indicated the company intends to enhance and broaden this offering throughout 2026. They also disclosed plans to leverage the same technological infrastructure for perpetual futures contracts, subject to obtaining US regulatory clearance.
The credit card program and primary exchange platform remain central strategic initiatives alongside the predictions product for the coming year.
Citigroup analyst Peter Christiansen has previously noted that Gemini requires distinct competitive advantages to challenge larger competitors like Coinbase. “Without any real, true differentiation and some value propositions that others don’t have, we just think it’s going to be hard for them to catch up,” he commented.
GEMI closed Thursday’s standard trading session essentially unchanged at approximately $6.00.
