SINGAPORE, April 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BGIN BLOCKCHAIN LIMITED (“BGIN” or the “Company”; NASDAQ: BGIN), a digital asset technology company with proprietary cryptocurrency mining technologies and a manufacturer of cryptocurrency mining hardware, today released its unaudited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025.

2025 Financial Highlights

• Total Revenue was US$67.4 million compared to US$302.3 million in 2024.
• Net Loss was US$177.0 million compared to net income of US$66.1 million in 2024.
   

Management Commentary

Mr. Allen Wu, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Director of BGIN, commented: “2025 marked a deeply transformative year for BGIN. We made difficult but decisive choices—scaling back our legacy altcoin business to concentrate on Bitcoin infrastructure. Our successful 4nm Bitcoin miner prototype validates our execution capabilities, and our three-engine business model creates a natural hedge against market volatility. In 2026, we are focusing on Bitcoin and Dogecoin which we believe helps us address a much larger opportunity, and we aim to deliver sustainable long-term value for our shareholders in 2026 and beyond.”

Mr. Oisin Li, Founder, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and Director of BGIN, commented: “Building on this transformation, we remain focused on four key priorities: First, we continue to enhance our research and development capabilities to deliver competitive mining solutions. Second, our mining operations remain anchored in cost-effective energy strategies and power sources that provide structural advantages. Third, we are exploring cloud mining and new consumer-focused product lines to democratize access to cryptocurrency mining — staying true to our ‘Crypto for All’ vision. Fourth, while large cap crypto currencies such as Bitcoin and Dogecoin are our primary focus, we will maintain the flexibility to capture opportunities in promising smaller cap altcoins when market conditions align.”

Mr. Mark Xiang, Co-Chief Financial Officer of BGIN, stated: “Our financial discipline has been the foundation of BGIN’s success since day one. Operating entirely on internally generated cash flow until our IPO completed in 2025 created a culture where every dollar is focused on return on investment (“ROI”).

We believe that 2025 was a strategic pivot year for BGIN. Our reported net loss was predominantly non-cash in nature, driven by impairments and write-offs due to our prudent assessment. We made conscious decisions to scale back investments in the altcoin sector and strategically shut down mining operations that did not meet our efficiency thresholds. This allowed us to redirect substantial capital into research and development, with our primary focus on Bitcoin and Dogecoin mining technologies. With $26.3 million in cash and $22.5 million in crypto assets, we have sufficient runway to support the execution of our strategy. The IPO has provided us strategic flexibility to scale, and we will continue evaluating financing opportunities based on clear ROI metrics.”

2025 Financial Results

Total Revenue was US$67.4 million, compared to US$302.3 million in 2024. The change was mainly due to a decrease in the Company’s mining pool revenue and machine sales revenue.

• Mining revenue was US$42.9 million, compared to US$45.0 million in 2024. The change was mainly due to a lower average price of ALPH and the cessation of IRON mining during fiscal 2025.
• Sales of Mining Machines were US$15.3 million, compared to US$192.2 million in 2024. The change was primarily due to a decline in both the average per unit selling price and sales volume of KAS mining machines, driven by increased competition and decreased demand in the market.
• Hosting Revenue was US$3.3 million, compared to US$6.2 million in 2024. The change was mainly due to reduced customer demand caused by KAS price volatility.
• Mining pool revenue was US$5.9 million, compared to US$58.8 million in 2024. The change was primarily due to: (i) a lower average price of KAS, the primary cryptocurrency mined in the Company’s pool; (ii) a significant reduction in the mining of other cryptocurrencies due to market conditions and strategic adjustments; and (iii) stricter pool entry requirements that resulted in a decrease in the number of miners in 2025.

Total costs of revenues were US$143.0 million, compared to US$174.6 million in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower machine sales volume, partially offset by increased mining costs.

• Costs of mining revenue were US$63.3 million, compared to US$29.7 million in 2024. The change was due to the combined effects of: (i) an increase of US$11.5 million in depreciation costs as the Company deployed additional mining machines in 2025, (ii) an increase of US$1.7 million in other costs, primarily comprising logistics, duties, rental costs and labor, driven by higher operating costs associated with the increased number of mining machines deployed, and (iii) an increase of US$20.4 million in utility expenses, which was consistent with the higher average number of mining machines deployed in 2025, being 24,924 units compared to 13,241 units in 2024.
• Costs of sales of mining machines were US$71.2 million, compared to US$81.7 million in 2024. The change was primarily due to: (i) significantly lower volume of machines sold in 2025 (9,410 units) compared to 2024 (102,849 units), resulting in a decrease of $32 million in costs of sales; and (ii) a US$3 million write-off of obsolete mining machines and components in 2025, compared to a write-off of $24.1 million in 2024. The decrease in costs of sales from lower sales volume and write-off of obsolete machines in 2025 was offset by an increase in inventory provision of $46.7 million, from $12.6 million in 2024 to $59.3 million 2025, recognized based on a net realizable value assessment following the decline in KAS prices.
• Costs of hosting revenue was US$2.6 million, compared to US$4.9 million in 2024. The decrease in costs corresponded with the decrease in hosting revenue.
• Costs of mining pool revenue was US$5.8 million, compared to US$58.3 million in 2024. The decrease in costs corresponded with the decrease in mining pool revenue.

Gross loss was US$75.6 million, compared to gross profit of US$127.7 million in 2024.

Selling expenses were US$0.4 million, compared to US$0.7 million in 2024.

General and administrative expenses were US$13.9 million, compared to US$7.2 million in 2024. The change was primarily due to: (i) a significant increase of US$2.8 million in employee salaries and benefits to support business expansion, particularly increased operations in the United States; (ii) a significant increase of US$2.7 million in professional fees, primarily related to initial public offering activities; (iii) an increase of $1.6 million in credit loss expense as there was no similar loss provision in 2024; offset by (iv) a significant decrease of US$2.4 million in merchant service charges due to reduced sales of mining machines.

Research and development expenses were US$20.2 million, compared to US$16.4 million in 2024. The change was due to increased investment in the development of the Company’s own ASIC chips for mining machines.

Net loss was US$177.0 million, compared to net income of US$66.1 million in 2024.

Basic & diluted net loss per share was US$1.62, compared to basic & diluted net income per share of US$0.61 in 2024.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had US$26.3 million in cash, compared to US$114.8 million as of December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had US$22.5 million in intangible assets – cryptocurrencies, compared to US$32.1 million as of December 31, 2024.

*The number of ordinary shares has been retrospectively adjusted for the 1-for-10 share subdivision effected on February 3, 2025 (the “February 2025 Share Subdivision”), the increase of share capital effected on February 3, 2025 (the “Share Capital Increase”) and the issuance of the an aggregate of 19,770,000 Class A ordinary shares and 5,230,000 Class B ordinary shares on February 3, 2025 to existing shareholders of BGIN BLOCKCHAIN LIMITED on a pro rata basis (the “Share Issuance”), and the 1-for-1.4375 share subdivision effected on July 16, 2025 (the “July 2025 Share Subdivision”)

CORYDON, Ind., April 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — First Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FCAP), the holding company for First Harrison Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $4.3 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to net income of $3.2 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

Net interest income after provision for credit losses increased $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. Interest income increased $1.6 million when comparing the two periods due to an increase in the average tax-equivalent yield⁽¹⁾ on interest-earning assets from 4.63% for the first quarter of 2025 to 4.96% for the same period in 2026, in addition to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets from $1.17 billion for the first quarter of 2025 to $1.22 billion for the same period in 2026. Interest expense decreased $259,000 as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.71% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to 1.56% for the same period in 2026 while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased from $881.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to $901.4 million for the same period in 2026. As a result of the changes in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the tax-equivalent net interest margin⁽¹⁾ increased from 3.34% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to 3.81% for the same period in 2026. Refer to the accompanying average balance sheet for more information regarding changes in the composition of the Company’s balance sheet and resulting yields and costs from the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Based on management’s analysis of the ACL on loans and unfunded loan commitments, the provision for credit losses increased from $338,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to $350,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The Bank recognized net charge-offs of $111,000 and $84,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Noninterest income increased $200,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily due to the Company recognizing an increase of $160,000 in the gain on equity securities when comparing the two periods. In addition, the Company recognized increases of $45,000 and $44,000 in ATM and debit card fee income, and the gain on sale of loans, respectively, when comparing the two periods. These increases were partially offset by the Company recognizing a $92,000 loss on sale of available for sale securities for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to a loss of $55,000 for the same period in 2025. The loss on sale of available for sale securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was a result of management’s decision to sell $18.7 million of available for sale securities to better position the Company’s investment portfolio for increased future yields.

Noninterest expenses increased $572,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025. This was primarily due to increases in professional services, compensation and benefits and other expenses of $241,000, $235,000 and $99,000, respectively, when comparing the two periods. The increase in professional services is due to increased consulting fees. The increase in compensation and benefits is due to increases in salary and wages associated with annual cost of living and performance related adjustments as well as increases in the cost of Company-provided health insurance benefits. The increase in other expenses is primarily due to an increase in consumer fraud losses recognized for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025.  

Income tax expense increased $358,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025 resulting in an effective tax rate of 19.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to 17.2% for the same period in 2025. The increase in the Bank’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 reflects a higher proportion of net income being subject to taxation compared to the same period last year.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025

Total assets were $1.28 billion at March 31, 2026 compared to $1.27 billion at December 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents and net loans receivable increased $12.4 million and $10.3 million, respectively, from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $9.4 million in available for sale securities when comparing the two periods. Deposits increased $13.6 million from $1.12 billion at December 31, 2025 to $1.14 billion at March 31, 2026. Nonperforming assets (consisting of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, and foreclosed real estate) decreased from $4.4 million at December 31, 2025 to $4.0 million at March 31, 2026.

The Bank currently has 17 offices in the Indiana communities of Corydon, Edwardsville, Greenville, Floyds Knobs, Palmyra, New Albany, New Salisbury, Jeffersonville, Salem, Lanesville and Charlestown and the Kentucky communities of Shepherdsville, Mt. Washington and Lebanon Junction.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED):

This presentation contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management uses these “non-GAAP” measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures allow for better comparability with prior periods, as well as with peers in the industry who provide a similar presentation, and provide a further understanding of the Company’s ongoing operations. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. The following table summarizes the non-GAAP financial measures derived from amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and reconciles those non-GAAP financial measures with the comparable GAAP financial measures.
