A number of crypto-centred public companies released their quarterly earnings report over the past couple of weeks, sharing increased revenue and a jump in profits across the board. The majority of these crypto firms benefited from the rise in prices of the crypto market and a constant decline in bearish momentum, moving away from the crypto winter.
Microstrategy: Bitcoin-focused institutional giant, MicroStrategy turned profitable again in the second quarter thanks to the surge in the price of Bitcoin (BTC). MicroStrategy is one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin in the United States with 152,800 Bitcoin on its balance sheet as of July 31.
According to the earnings report filing on Aug.1, MicroStrategy reported $22.2 million in net income, a massive swing from a net loss of $1.1 billion in Q2 of 2022. The firm’s revenue remained flat at $120.4 million.
Block: Jack Dorsey-led Bitcoin payment company Block also beat early estimates to post a 34% year-on-year increase in its Bitcoin revenue.

The crypto exchange reported a 10% decline in revenue compared to Q2 2022, but still beat estimates, thanks to its growing market dominance in the United States. The firm also narrowed its losses bringing them to under $100 million in the second quarter.
Coinshares: European digital asset manager Coinshares saw its revenue surge by 33% compared to the last year. The asset manager posted a 25% year-over-year decline in asset management fees.
