Charts The crypto wallet company cut its Bitcoin holdings from 1,704 to 628 
coins by March 31 — a reduction of roughly 63% — with nearly all the proceeds 
directed toward acquiring W3C Corp., the parent company of fintech firms 
Monavate and Baanx. 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. Monthly active users slipped from 
1.6 million to 1.5 million year over year. Quarterly funded users dropped even 
more sharply, falling 22% to 1.4 million from 1.8 million. 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&#8217;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. On the balance sheet, 
cash and cash equivalents rose sharply. The company ended the quarter with 
nearly $73 million in cash, up from just $4.9 million at the close of 2025. 
New Products In The Pipeline Even as the core business contracted, Exodus 
rolled out a new product. XO Cash, a stablecoin toolkit built on Solana with 
payments company MoonPay, allows AI agents to make purchases through Visa&#8217;s 
payment network without exposing user private keys. Related Reading: Shiba Inu
