“While we still have work to do as a company, this quarters results reflect our ongoing efforts to reduce operating expenses while diversifying revenue,” Gemini CEO, Tyler Winklevoss, said.

Fraud Charge Undercuts the Cost Cuts

Meanwhile, transaction losses tell a harsher story. They surged to $20.1 million from $3.6 million. This was driven mainly by a $16.1 million provision for credit losses on the credit card portfolio.

“The higher provision was impacted by an identity fraud event identified earlier in 2026,” the firm noted.

Operating expenses dropped 15% sequentially to $122.4 million from $144.5 million. Februarys 30% staff cut and withdrawals from international markets drove the decline. Operating loss came to $76.9 million.

Investors treated the prior quarter differently. Shares rallied after Q1 2026 earnings showed $50.3 million in revenue and a $109 million loss.
