Bitcoin Group SE publishes Annual Report 2024: Significant revenue and earnings growth, crypto treasury more than doubled to EUR 366 million

Herford, 26 June 2025 – Bitcoin Group SE (ISIN DE000A1TNV91) published its Annual Report 2024 today. Despite a persistently challenging macroeconomic environment and persistently high interest rates, particularly in the US, the company was able to significantly improve its operating performance. The crypto market was also volatile over the course of the year, but the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a new asset class had a positive impact on the Bitcoin Group's balance sheet.

Bitcoin Group SE generated revenue of EUR 9.4 million in the financial year 2024 after EUR 7.8 million in the previous year. The main reason for this increase is the higher trading volume on the bitcoin.de platform. As a result, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased from EUR -1.8 million in the previous year to EUR +1.8 million in the financial year 2024, meaning that the forecast for 2024 was exceeded.

The bottom line was a net profit of EUR 1.8 million after EUR 1.9 million in the previous year. With the number of shares remaining unchanged, earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.36 after EUR 0.39 per share in the previous year.

The Bitcoin Group continues to have a rock-solid balance sheet. In the reporting period, equity increased year-on-year by EUR 140.3 million from EUR 137.9 million to EUR 278.2 million.

Net crypto holdings increased to EUR 366.0 million as at the 2024 reporting date due to the price increase on the crypto market, compared to EUR 164.8 million as of December 31, 2023. The equity ratio was 72.3% as at 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: 74.7%). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 12.2 million after EUR 11.1 million as of the 2023 balance sheet date.

"Our excellent balance sheet situation allows us to propose a dividend of EUR 0.10 per share, as in the two previous years. We will submit the corresponding dividend proposal to the Annual General Meeting in August 2025 for approval," says Moritz Eckert, CEO of Bitcoin Group SE.

The financial year 2024 marked a turning point – both for the global crypto industry and for Bitcoin Group SE. In a dynamic market environment characterized by far-reaching structural changes, the Bitcoin Group performed significantly better than planned. The increasing institutional relevance and the advancing regulatory maturity of the entire industry contributed significantly to the positive development.

For the Bitcoin Group, 2024 was also a year of strategic decisions and organizational realignment – with the clear goal of consolidating and expanding its position in the crypto and financial market in the long term. A key point was the personnel realignment with the appointment of Moritz Eckert as Chairman of the Management Board of Bitcoin Group SE and Anton Langbroek as a member of the Management Board of futurum bank AG as the most important subsidiary.

In consultation with the Supervisory Board, the new management team has developed a new multi-year business strategy that forms the basis for the most significant operational innovation in the Group's history, with the aim of building a completely new trading platform. Bitcoin Group SE is thus taking a clear step towards a modern, scalable trading architecture that allows a significantly expanded product offering and the addressing of new target groups.

"We have defined a clear project plan for the implementation of this strategic transformation and allocated the necessary financial resources. Even though the necessary investments will have a negative impact on earnings in the financial year 2025, they are the key to positioning the Bitcoin Group sustainably for the future. Our claim remains unchanged: We stand for reliability, compliance with the highest regulatory standards and state-of-the-art 'Made in Germany' technology," emphasizes Moritz Eckert.

The German Annual Report 2024 is available for download as a PDF document in the Publications section of bitcoingroup.com. The English Report will be available by the beginning of July 2025.
