SINGAPORE, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BitFuFu Inc. (“BitFuFu” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FUFU), a world-leading Bitcoin miner and mining services innovator, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights
- Total revenue was $78.0 million, a decrease of 46.0% from $144.4 million in the same period of 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to the Bitcoin (“BTC”) mining “halving event” occurred in April 2024, increase in blockchain network difficulty and the temporary decrease in the Company’s hashrate under management year-over-year.
- Revenues from cloud-mining solutions, self-mining operations, selling of mining equipment and others accounted for 68.8%, 22.5%, 7.7%, and 1.0% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2025, respectively.
- Net loss was $16.9 million, compared to net income of $35.3 million in the same period of 2024.
- Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP metric) was negative $10.8 million, compared to positive $49.9 million in the same period of 2024.
- Combined balance of cash and cash equivalents and digital assets1 were $144.3 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $168.1 million as of December 31, 2024.
Leo Lu, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, said, “As expected, we faced a more challenging operating environment in the first quarter of 2025. While performance of the first quarter reflected the expected post-halving transitional impact, our record-breaking hashrate in May validates our infrastructure scaling strategy and sets a strong tone for the second quarter and the rest of 2025. This rebound underscores the strength of our supplier relationships, the agility of our procurement strategy, and the resilience of our overall business model.
“In the first quarter of 2025, we closed the acquisition of a mining facility in Oklahoma and lifted our self‑owned hash rate to 4.2 EH/s. The Oklahoma acquisition represents a milestone in our vertical integration journey, enabling us to improve cost efficiency, resilience, and long-term profitability. Moreover, we broadened our network, added new partners, expanded our global footprint and added new customers across key growth markets. Going forward, we will keep our focus on disciplined execution of our strategies and long-term value creation.”
First Quarter 2025 Operational Highlights
- Total hashrate decreased by 28.0% to 20.6 EH/s as of March 31, 2025, compared to 28.6 EH/S as of March 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the expiration of certain hash rate purchase orders and miner fleet relocation or upgrades by suppliers.
- Power capacity was 478 MW as of March 31, 2025, compared to 644 MW as of March 31, 2024.
- Cloud-mining registered users increased by 89.1% to 607,377 as of March 31, 2025, compared to 321,184 as of March 31, 2024.
- BTC held by the Company increased by 71.2% to 1,835 BTCs as of March 31, 2025, compared to 1,072 BTCs as of March 31, 2024.

First Quarter 2025 Financial Review
Revenue
Total revenue in the first quarter of 2025 was $78.0 million, representing a decrease of 46.0% from $144.4 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to the decline in cloud mining revenue and self-mining revenue.
Revenue from cloud-mining solutions in the first quarter of 2025 was $53.7 million, representing a decrease of 34.1% from $81.5 million in the same period of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the temporary decrease in the Company’s hashrate supply year-over-year due to the expiration of certain hash rate purchase orders and miner fleet relocation or upgrades by suppliers. BitFuFu realized a net dollar retention rate of 63.0% for the first quarter of 2025, which was calculated by dividing the amount of recurring revenue in the first quarter of 2025 by the amount of revenue in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting continuous customer demand and the Company’s ability to maintain a substantial portion of revenue from existing customers.
Revenue from Bitcoin self-mining operations in the first quarter of 2025 was $17.6 million, representing a decrease of 70.7% from $60.1 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to (i) the BTC mining “halving event” occurred in April 2024 and the increase in blockchain network difficulty, which together led to a 66% year-over-year decrease in the average BTC daily earnings per tera-hash in the first quarter of 2025, and (ii) a 48.3% year-over-year decrease in the average hash rate used for self-mining operations, which was partially offset by the growth of BTC price from an average of $53,200 in the first quarter of 2024 to $93,500 in the first quarter of 2025. Based on the same reasons mentioned above, BTC production from self-mining operations decreased to 186 BTCs from 1,103 BTCs in the same period of 2024.
Revenue from selling mining equipment in the first quarter of 2025 was $6.0 million, increasing significantly from $0.7 million in the same period of 2024. Mining hardware sales momentum reflects industry confidence and BitFuFu’s role as a full-stack mining ecosystem player.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue in the first quarter of 2025 was $71.6 million, representing a decrease of 41.6% from $122.7 million in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was in line with the decrease in our total revenue and was primarily due to costs associated with the decline in the Company’s purchase of hash rate from suppliers, which led to the decrease in hashrate under management.
Operating Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2025 were $0.5 million, $2.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, approximately inline compared to the same period of 2024.
The Company recognized a non-cash fair value loss of $16.2 million on BTC, reflecting an unfavorable mark-to-market adjustment of BTC price as of March 31, 2025, comparing to the BTC price as of December 31, 2024.
Because the price of BTCs sold in the first quarter of 2025 was lower than their carry value, the Company recognized a $1.4 million loss on the sale of digital assets.
Net Loss
Net loss in the first quarter of 2025 was $16.9 million, compared to the net income of $35.3 million in the same period of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2025 was negative $10.8 million, compared to positive $49.9 million in the same period of 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and digital assets of $144.3 million, compared to $168.1 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to the payment for the procurement of S21 XP and S21+ mining machines to enhance self-owned hash rate and the depreciation on the value of BTCs held by the Company during the first quarter of 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
BitFuFu uses and considers Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental metrics in reviewing and evaluating its performance. BitFuFu defines Adjusted EBITDA as (1) GAAP net profit/loss, plus (2) adjustments to add back interest expense/(income), income tax expense/(benefit), depreciation and amortization, and (3) adjustments for non-recurring items, if any. BitFuFu believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the consolidated financial results in the same manner as its management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods. However, Non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under GAAP and are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools, which possibly do not reflect all items of expense that affect the Company’s operations. BitFuFu’s calculation of adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods of other companies, and therefore, the comparability of such measure may be limited. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure adjusts for the impact of items that BitFuFu does not consider indicative of the operational performance of its business and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net profit/loss or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of its future performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of Net Profit and Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited)” set forth at the end of this release. BitFuFu encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
