CEO Commentary

"We are pleased to report another strong quarter, with revenues for the second quarter increasing by 59% versus a year ago, while core KPIs such as Active Accounts and Transaction Volumes continued to expand", said Fold Chairman and CEO, Will Reeves. "Building on our successful public listing and the momentum from our first quarter, we have continued to execute on our strategic initiatives and deliver meaningful progress in the second quarter of 2025."

Mr. Reeves continued, "We made substantial progress across our key growth initiatives during the quarter. The Fold Credit Card continues to generate significant consumer interest, with our waitlist now exceeding 75,000 people as we work toward our planned launch later this year. Our Bitcoin Gift Card successfully launched in the quarter and continues to gain traction. The card is now available through prominent online partners such as giftcards.com, with an eventual goal of being ubiquitous across the entire US retail footprint, including brick and mortar retail locations. With a broad market presence, we believe our card will capture a material portion of the billions of dollars Americans spend annually on gift cards and become a substantial new avenue for bitcoin ownership. In our Custody and Trading business, we launched Bitcoin Sends this quarter which allows users to send and receive bitcoin directly with any wallet address. We are also assessing many new opportunities that are natural extensions to our existing services."

Reeves concluded, "Our Bitcoin Investment Treasury currently stands at nearly 1,500 BTC, representing nearly $180 million in value as of August 12, 2025. Our treasury strategy reached a significant milestone in the second quarter with the successful establishment of a $250 million equity purchase facility. This facility allows Fold to continue to expand our Bitcoin holdings, reinforces our commitment to Bitcoin as a core treasury asset, and allows Fold to be opportunistic in building our Bitcoin position while maintaining operational flexibility. At Fold, we remain steadfast believers in Bitcoin and view a robust treasury strategy as fundamental to creating shareholder value. As we progress through 2025, we plan to leverage this enhanced financial capacity to strengthen our Bitcoin holdings while continuing to execute on our growth initiatives."

  • Fold Credit Card (announced in February 2025)
    • Over 75,000 applicants on the waitlist
    • 2% unlimited rewards card

Forward-Looking Statements:

The information in this press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the anticipated benefits of the business combination. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “predict,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include the potential benefits of the new ELOC, Fold’s treasury strategy and the potential success of Fold’s market, product and growth strategies. These statements are based on assumptions and on the current expectations of Fold’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Fold. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including: (i) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; (ii) the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination; (iii) the effect of the consummation of the business combination on Fold’s business relationships, performance, and business generally; (iv) the ability to implement business plans and other expectations after the completion of the business combination, and identify and realize additional opportunities; (v) the risk of downturns, new entrants and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive industry in which Fold operates; (vi) the ability of Fold to gain full access to the ELOC, which is dependent on Fold’s ability to obtain stockholder approval and to satisfy the other conditions provided in the ELOC and which can be limited because the investor in the ELOC can refuse to invest to the extent the investment would result in the investor holding more than 9.99% of our shares of common stock; and (vii) those factors discussed in Fold’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If any of these risks materialize or Fold’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. While Fold may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Fold specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to net loss and other results under GAAP, we utilize non-GAAP calculations of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to monitor the financial health of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss, excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) share-based compensation, (v) remeasurement gains and losses such as fair value remeasurements on our digital assets, convertible notes, and SAFE notes, and (vi) impairments, restructuring charges, and business acquisition- or disposition-related expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. This non-GAAP financial information has limitations as an analytical tool when assessing our operating performance, is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items are unpredictable, are not driven by core results of operations, and/or render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of core operations, as well as providing a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measurement used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance, and perform strategic planning and annual budgeting.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net loss:
