SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation and preparation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”) include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries – entities in which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights, or where it exercises control. The Financial Statements are unaudited but have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) on the same basis as the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, and in management’s opinion, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, that are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s Financial Statements. Preparation of the Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in the Financial Statements and notes thereto. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 12, 2026 (the “Annual Report”).
Certain prior period amounts in the Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. There were no material changes to the Company’s most significant estimates and assumptions, significant accounting policies, segment reporting, or recent accounting pronouncements that were disclosed in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report, other than as discussed below.
Changes in financial statement presentation
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised the presentation of revenue earned on corporate payment stablecoin balances. As these assets are classified as cash and cash equivalents and managed as fungible in daily operations, the Company determined that presenting all similar revenue within a single line item enhances transparency. Accordingly, this revenue is now presented in Other revenue rather than in Net revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, with no impact to Total revenue. There is no change to the Company’s arrangement with Circle Internet Financial, LLC or the revenue generated. The associated amounts of revenue earned on corporate payment stablecoin balances for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 of $23.6 million and $47.1 million, respectively, have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 5. Revenue for additional details.
Additionally, the Company revised the presentation of certain loan collateral received and returned in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, from a gross to a net basis. The Company determined that a net presentation more accurately reflects the economic substance of these transactions, where the turnover is quick, the amounts are large, and the maturities are short, and that this net presentation is consistent with the existing net presentation of the related loan balances. The change in presentation was applied retrospectively to all periods presented, as shown in the table below
in the column with the heading “Change in Presentation.” The reclassification had no effect on previously reported total net cash used in investing activities, net income, or any balance sheet amounts.
Change in accounting principle
Accounting for payment stablecoins
Effective December 31, 2025, the Company voluntarily elected to change its method of accounting for payment stablecoins, including USDC, EURC, and PYUSD, to classify them as cash equivalents and to apply the Company’s accounting policies for crypto lending, borrowing, and collateral to payment stablecoin lending, borrowing, and collateral. The change in accounting principle was applied retrospectively to all periods presented, including in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the changes to which are shown in the table below in the column with the heading “Change in Principle.” The reclassification had no effect on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, equity, net income, or earnings per share for any period presented.

Impact of financial statement reclassifications
The following table presents the impact of the changes in financial statement presentation and accounting principle, as discussed above, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands):

Recent accounting pronouncements
Accounting pronouncements pending adoption
On September 18, 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025-06 amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software, to reflect that software is not always developed in a linear manner, removing all references to development stages and adding new guidance on how to evaluate whether the probable-to-complete threshold has been met. ASU 2025-06 is required to be adopted for fiscal years commencing after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-06 allows for a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach to adoption, based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption. The Company anticipates using a prospective transition approach and is evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on the Financial
Statements.
Concentration of credit risk
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, customer custodial funds, loan receivables, certain crypto assets held, accounts receivable, and deposits are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. See below and Notes 6. Collateralized Arrangements and Financing and 8. Accounts Receivable, Net for a discussion of these risks by counterparty and type of transaction.
Payment stablecoins
Payment stablecoins are redeemable on a one-to-one basis for cash and cash equivalents and are classified as Cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the reserves backing these payment stablecoins were held by the issuers in cash and cash equivalents in segregated accounts titled for the benefit of payment stablecoin holders.
Funds held at financial institutions
Cash and cash equivalents, excluding payment stablecoins which are held on our platform, are primarily placed with financial institutions which are of high credit quality, primarily in highly liquid, highly rated instruments which are uninsured. The Company may also have corporate deposit balances with financial institutions which exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to these accounts.
Funds held at venues
The Company holds cash at venues, which include third-party payment processors, digital wallets, and trading platforms, but exclude clearing agents, and performs a regular assessment of these venues as part of its risk management process. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held $93.5 million and $110.8 million, respectively, of cash at venues.
