ChainCatcher report: Bakkt released its first-quarter 2026 financial results, reporting a net loss attributable to the company of $11.7 million, or $0.41 per share, compared to a net income of $7.7 million in the same period last year. Due to a decline in crypto trading volume, Bakkt’s crypto services revenue fell to $243.6 million from $1.07 billion in the prior-year quarter, a 77% year-over-year decrease; however, this was largely offset by reduced crypto costs and brokerage fees. As of the end of the quarter, the company held $82.6 million in cash and had no long-term debt. Bakkt stated that it is transitioning from crypto trading infrastructure to stablecoin payments and AI-driven financial infrastructure, and completed its acquisition of Distributed Technologies Research on April 30, gaining an AI-native payment engine and a stablecoin compliance technology stack.
