DeFi Technologies unveiled preliminary unaudited revenue figures of $99.1 million for its fiscal 2025 period, marking a substantial 215% increase over the $31.4 million reported in fiscal 2024. Market participants responded immediately, pushing shares up 32% in extended trading.
The company’s transition to profitability stood out as a significant achievement in the preliminary results. DeFi Technologies recorded net income of $62.7 million, representing a remarkable $90.3 million improvement compared to the $27.6 million net loss from fiscal 2024.
However, fourth quarter revenue of $20.0 million came in below Street expectations of $33.0 million. This shortfall deserves attention despite the strong full-year performance.
The company’s Valour division, which handles asset management operations, maintained average assets under management of $809.9 million throughout 2025. This performance reflects successful new product introductions, sustained investor interest, and supportive digital asset market dynamics.
Valour’s exchange-traded product offerings attracted net inflows totaling $110.1 million during the fiscal period. The division’s global footprint now encompasses over 100 listed products across various markets.
Stillman Digital Growth and Business Diversification
Stillman Digital, serving institutional clients, contributed results for its inaugural full fiscal year in 2025. CEO Johan Wattenström characterized the division as having “further strengthened the institutional layer” within the organization’s broader platform.
Wattenström emphasized that the performance metrics “reflect the strength of the business model we have built,” highlighting diversified revenue channels and varied product offerings as critical factors supporting operational resilience.
Reasons Behind Filing Postponement
DeFi Technologies announced it would not meet the scheduled deadline for submitting audited annual financial statements covering the year ending December 31, 2025. This encompasses the accompanying management discussion and analysis along with required CEO and CFO certifications.
The organization provided explicit reasoning: completion awaits a SOC 2 Type 2 assessment from an external service provider. This represents an independent, third-party auditor verification process.
Importantly, the postponement stems from no conflicts with the company’s auditing firm. Management also confirmed the absence of any financial statement concerns or identified deficiencies in internal financial reporting controls.
This clarification resonated with investors. Notwithstanding the filing delay, shares experienced sharp upward movement based on the revenue growth and profitability metrics.
The fourth quarter revenue figure of $20.0 million represents the primary weakness in an otherwise robust annual performance report.
