CoinShares Announces Q1 2025 Results
13th May 2025 | SAINT HELIER, Jersey | CoinShares International Limited (“CoinShares'' or “the Group”) (Nasdaq Stockholm: CS; US OTCQX: CNSRF), a leading global investment company specialising in digital assets, has today published its for the quarter ending 31st March 2025.
Jean-Marie Mognetti, Chief Executive Officer of CoinShares said:
“Despite the sharp decline in digital asset prices during Q1, CoinShares has demonstrated exceptional operational resilience and strategic discipline. Our proactive approach to market volatility has not only enabled us to remain robust but has also supported continued growth—most notably through our CoinShares Physical platform, which is outperforming peers at an unprecedented pace.
Shifting conditions create opportunities. Our brand strength has positioned CoinShares as the leading provider of crypto ETPs in Europe, attracting sustained inflows and reinforcing our market leadership.
In parallel, we are re-affirming our long-standing objective of securing a U.S. exchange listing. With the US regulatory environment evolving in a more constructive direction, this goal is realistic—further advancing our strategy to extend CoinShares’ presence in the world’s largest and most influential capital market for digital asset firms.”

Q1 2025 operational highlights
- CoinShares demonstrated robust performance across its platforms in Q1 2025, with management fees of $29.6m. CoinShares Physical led the European crypto ETP market with $268m in net inflows—triple its closest competitor—despite challenging market conditions that saw Bitcoin decline 12.1% and Ethereum fall 45.2%. While the flagship BITC product attracted $202m after strategically reducing its management fee to 0.25%, and a new partnership with BoursoBank expanded reach to 7m+ French clients, other platforms showed mixed results: XBT improved with reduced outflows of $154m (vs $370m in Q4 2024), the BLOCK Index outperformed peers despite a 13.1% decline, and the US Valkyrie platform experienced $288m in net outflows while maintaining its strong retail base amid broader market corrections that impacted total AuM across all platforms.
- CoinShares' Capital Markets division experienced moderate Q1 performance across all segments, generating gains and other income totalling $11.9m, returning to typical levels following Q4's exceptional post-election rally when Bitcoin appreciated 50%. Despite Bitcoin's 13% decline during the quarter, the Trading Team generated $3.6m from delta-neutral strategies, while liquidity provisioning contributed $1.9m amid cooling bullish sentiment. The company maintained strict credit discipline in its lending portfolio, prioritizing borrower quality over volume and ending with $101m in open loans at 4.2% average yield, while Ethereum's 46% decline affected staking revenues, which decreased 26% quarter-on-quarter to $5.6m.
- Since its 2021 Stockholm listing, CoinShares has pursued a U.S. exchange listing to enter the world's largest digital asset market, a goal becoming more viable given recent regulatory improvements. Simultaneously, the company is boosting share liquidity through expanded analyst coverage and institutional roadshows while demonstrating shareholder commitment via the May 6 distribution of its first quarterly dividend for 2024.
- Despite recording a $3.0m unrealized loss on the Group’s treasury holdings due to Q1's pronounced price declines, CoinShares continued building its strategic Bitcoin position, increasing holdings by 45% from 163 to 236 BTC by quarter-end.
Functional & presentation currency change
Effective 1 January 2025, the Group has amended its functional and presentation currency from GBP to USD to more accurately reflect the economic environment in which the Group is operating as it continues to expand.
In accordance with IAS 21 – The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, the change in functional currency has been applied prospectively from the date of change.
