Gemini Q4 Earnings: Shares Surge 6% After Hours
What to Know
- $60.3 million — Gemini's Q4 2025 revenue, up 39% year-over-year and above analyst estimates of $51.7 million
- GEMI stock initially spiked 14% after hours to $6.83, settling at a 5.8% gain of $6.36
- Gemini's full-year 2025 net loss hit $585 million, nearly four times its $156.6 million loss in 2024
- AI now handles more than 40% of Gemini's production code — the Winklevoss twins say that number will approach 100%
Gemini Q4 earnings came in well above Wall Street's expectations on Thursday, sending shares in the crypto exchange jumping after hours despite a widening full-year loss that the company's own founders framed as a deliberate trade-off. The report marks only the second set of quarterly results since Gemini went public — and the market's reaction suggests investors are betting the hard part is behind them.
Revenue Beat, But the Loss Column Is Hard to Ignore
Q4 revenues hit $60.3 million, a 39% jump from the same quarter a year earlier and comfortably above the $51.7 million analysts had penciled in, according to Gemini Q4 earnings released on March 19, 2026. Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss called it the company's highest quarterly revenue in three years — a milestone they attributed to 'deliberate fee structure work through the back half of the year,' according to their shareholder letter.
The catch — and it's a real one — is the Q4 net loss of $140.8 million, nearly five times deeper than the $27 million loss from the same period in 2024. For the full year, Gemini posted a staggering $585 million in losses versus $156.6 million in 2024. The Winklevoss twins want you to focus on the revenue line. But that loss expansion deserves its own spotlight.
What drove the revenue beat? The Winklevoss brothers pointed to two things: crypto stock IPO momentum in the broader market and Gemini's own credit card product gaining traction alongside the fee restructuring. Trading volumes, they acknowledged, actually declined — yet revenue grew. That's the kind of operating leverage you want to see, even if the absolute loss figures look alarming at first pass.
Today, AI is used in more than 40% of our production code changes and we expect that number to climb to close to 100% in the not-too-distant future.

GEMI Stock: The After-Hours Ride
GEMI stock initially spiked 14% in after-hours trading on Thursday, touching a high of $6.83 before cooler heads prevailed and shares settled at $6.36 — a 5.8% gain from the regular-session close of around $6. A 6% after-hours pop on an earnings beat is not surprising. A 14% spike that gives back half its gains inside an hour tells a more complicated story about how much uncertainty is still baked into this stock.
Context: Gemini went public in September 2025 through a Gemini IPO that raised $425 million on Nasdaq at $28 per share. Trading at $6 before Thursday's print means the stock was already down roughly 79% from its IPO price. The after-hours bounce looks good in percentage terms, but let's not lose sight of the baseline. Long-term holders are still sitting on enormous losses.
For the shorter-term crowd watching crypto stock performance, a revenue beat in a tough environment — Q4 2025 was a rough quarter for the broader crypto market, with Bitcoin pulling back from its $126,000 all-time high in October — shows Gemini can generate real revenue even when volumes dry up. That's the bull case in a sentence.
Workforce Cuts, AI, and a 'Focus on America' Plan
The earnings release came bundled with two other pieces of news that got less attention but matter just as much. First, the workforce: the Winklevoss twins confirmed Gemini had reduced its headcount by 'roughly 30% since the start of 2026,' building on the 25% layoff announcement made in February. The cuts were partly attributed to AI absorbing more of the workload — the co-founders weren't shy about spelling that out.
The AI angle is worth sitting with. Forty-plus percent of production code changes already handled by AI at a crypto exchange is not a trivial number. The Winklevoss brothers put it bluntly in their letter — not using AI at Gemini would soon be 'the equivalent of showing up to work with a typewriter instead of a laptop.' There's a real question about what that means for the people who remain and how quickly that ratio keeps climbing.
Second, on geographic strategy: February also brought the news that Gemini was pulling out of the UK, the EU, and Australia, with leadership citing challenging regulatory conditions in those markets. The Winklevoss brothers said the 2026 plan is to 'focus and double down on America,' expressing optimism about the US regulatory climate under the current administration. Domestically, Gemini launched its prediction market product — Gemini Predictions — across all 50 US states in December, shortly after securing a license from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

What Does Gemini's Earnings Report Mean for Crypto Stocks?
A revenue beat from Gemini at a time when trading volumes are falling is genuinely meaningful data. It suggests the company's fee restructuring is holding — that it found a way to extract more revenue per trade even as fewer trades happened. If that holds into Q1 2026, the loss trajectory might start bending.
Still, the annual loss of $585 million is not something you can hand-wave away. That's real cash being consumed. Gemini raised $425 million in its IPO — meaning the company essentially burned through more than one full IPO raise in a single year. The brothers' plan to pivot Gemini into a 'markets company' built around Gemini Predictions and eventually perpetual futures contracts is ambitious. But ambition and cash burn are an uncomfortable pairing.
The Winklevoss twins are betting that the US regulatory environment cracks open a door for Gemini Predictions' perpetual futures product, and that their credit card and fee-restructured exchange can fund the company long enough to get there. Maybe. But anyone still holding from the $28 IPO price needs that thesis to move fast.
