1 General information

 

Bullish (the “Company”) is an exempted company incorporated and domiciled in the Cayman Islands with limited liability. The Company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as “the Group.” These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

 

Prior to July 23, 2024, the Company was majority owned by block.one. Effective July 23, 2024 and August 21, 2024, block.one transferred the majority of the Class A common shares in tranches to certain of its shareholders.

 

The principal activity of the Group is providing infrastructure and information services. This includes the operations of its subsidiary, Bullish (GI) Limited, which operates a digital asset trading platform (the “Exchange”) and CoinDesk Inc. (“CoinDesk”) which provides digital asset media and information services. On October 9, 2024, the Group completed the acquisition of Crypto Coin Comparison Ltd (“CCData”). Further details on the nature of the Group’s operations and these entities can be found in the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Financial Statements”).

 

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are presented in United States dollars, which is the same as the functional currency of the Group.

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. For the Group, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) serves as the CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a global consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Group has determined that it operates as one operating segment and one reportable segment.

 

Reverse Stock Split and IPO Reorganization

 

On July 31, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s Class A common shares, Class B preference shares, and Class C common shares on a 1-for-2 basis (the “Reverse Split”) which became effective on August 1, 2025. Accordingly, all holders of record of Class A common shares and Class B preference shares on August 1, 2025 (no Class C common shares were outstanding on such date), received respectively one issued and outstanding Class A common share and one issued and outstanding Class B preference share of the Company in exchange for two issued and outstanding Class A common shares and two issued and outstanding Class B preference shares of the Company. The Company also redesignated Class A shares as Ordinary shares. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Split. All fractional shares created by the Reverse Split were rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares.

 

All information referencing outstanding shares of the Company, including earnings and loss per share, in the current and comparative periods presented herein give retroactive effect to the Reverse Split.

 

The following transactions impacting shares, options, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in Bullish Global and BMC1 interests occurred in connection with the IPO Reorganization and were adjusted for the effect of the Reverse Split described above. However, the information related to shares, options, and RSUs in Bullish Global and BMC1 interests below are not restated as a result of the Reverse Split.

 

·     Bullish Global RSUs converted into RSUs of Ordinary Shares on a 1-for-2 basis;

 

·     Bullish Global options converted into options to acquire Ordinary shares on a 1-for-2 basis with the exercise price for each converted option being twice the pre-conversion exercise price (subject to the same vesting conditions); and

 

·     Certain conversion rights with respect to the BMC1 equity became effective. These conversion rights, subject to vesting, entitle holders of an aggregate outstanding 13,643,618 units of BMC1 equity to receive 7,075,504 Ordinary shares.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Subsequently, as part of the transaction that, collectively with the Reverse Split and the issuance of Ordinary shares to the third party investor in Bullish Global, we refer to as the "IPO Reorganization," the 2,735,938 issued and outstanding Class B preference shares (post Reverse Split) were mandatorily converted into an equal number of Ordinary shares. The accounting for this conversion involved derecognizing the $47.9 million financial liability associated with the Convertible redeemable preference shares and reclassifying the $18.4 million Option premium on convertible redeemable preference shares equity component; both amounts were transferred to Share capital and share premium.

 

2 Summary of principal accounting policies

 

The accounting policies have been consistently applied to the current and prior financial years presented, as are the methods of computation, unless otherwise stated below.

 

2.1 Basis of preparation

 

(i) Compliance with IFRS

 

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The financial statements comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

 

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the Annual Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Statements. For details on principal accounting policies, including but not limited to, principles of consolidation, business combinations, revenue recognition, financial instruments, leases, and taxation, refer to the Annual Financial Statements.

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s Annual Financial Statements, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of January 1, 2025, and as described below.

 

(ii) Going concern

 

The Directors have, at the time of approving the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

(iii) Reclassification of digital assets

 

Effective January 1, 2024, the Group reclassified certain portfolios of digital assets not allocated for market-making purposes from inventory to indefinite-life intangible assets under IAS 38. This reclassification was applied prospectively. Details of this reclassification were provided in the Annual Financial Statements.

 

(iv) New standard and amendments to standards which are not yet effective

 

Certain new standards and amendments to IFRS have been issued but are not yet effective for the period ended June 30, 2025, and have not been early adopted by the Group. IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” replaces IAS 1 and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The Group is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 18. For other new standards and amendments not yet effective, refer to the Annual Financial Statements.

 

2.2 Digital assets held - intangible assets and inventories

 

Prior to December 31, 2023:

 

Before December 31, 2023, the Group classified all digital assets as inventories under IAS 2, as they were primarily held for the purpose of facilitating market-making activities on the Bullish Exchange. These assets were measured at fair value less costs to sell, with changes in fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss under Change in fair value of digital assets held, net.

 

F-10

 

 

BULLISH

 

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Starting from January 1, 2024:

 

Effective January 1, 2024, the Group reclassified a portion of its existing digital assets, previously classified as inventory measured at fair value less costs to sell, to intangible assets, utilizing the revaluation method as digital assets are traded in active markets. For the purpose of revaluation, fair value is measured by reference to the Company’s principal market at subsequent measurement dates. This change would impact Other comprehensive income/(loss) (“OCI”) as increases in the fair value of these intangible assets are recognized directly in equity under Revaluation reserves for digital assets held as investments. This reserve represents the revaluation adjustment of intangible assets, capturing the change of fair value from their weighted average cost prospectively on or after January 1, 2024. This reclassification is driven by a significant change in the operation of its business, characterized by a substantial reduction in the quantity of digital assets deployed for liquidity provision and market-making activities on the Exchange.

 

In addition to the reclassification of existing assets, new digital assets acquired from this date will be classified as either intangible assets or inventory, reflecting their intended use within the Group’s updated operational business model framework. This strategic realignment ensures that the Group’s financial reporting accurately reflects the change in the nature of its business operations and asset management practices.

 

For digital assets classified as intangible assets, if the carrying amount of a digital asset increases as a result of revaluation, the increase is recognized in OCI and accumulated in Equity under Reserves. However, if the increase in the carrying amount of the digital asset reverses a previous revaluation decrease recognized in Net income/(loss), it is recognized in Net income/(loss).

 

Conversely, if the carrying amount decreases due to revaluation, the decrease is recognized in Net income/(loss). However, if there is a credit balance in the Revaluation reserves for that asset, the decrease is recognized in OCI, reducing the equity under the Revaluation reserves heading.

 

The cumulative Revaluation reserves included in Equity may be transferred directly to Accumulated deficit when the surplus is realized, either upon the retirement or disposal of the asset. Transfers from Revaluation reserves to Accumulated deficit are not routed through Net income/(loss).

 

Digital assets held — intangible assets associated with decentralized finance protocols

 

The Group engages with decentralized finance (“DeFi”) protocols, which are smart contracts designed to perform specific functions, predominantly built on various blockchain platforms. These protocols enable the Group to provide or access liquidity and facilitate the exchange of digital assets directly on the blockchain.

 

To provide liquidity, the Group deposits or transfers its digital assets to the smart contracts of these DeFi protocols. In return, the Group typically receives protocol-specific digital assets that represent its claims on the underlying digital assets deposited.

 

Most DeFi protocols have the capability to utilize the Group’s deposited digital assets for various purposes, including lending or trading them with other participants in the DeFi protocol. Upon transferring digital assets to the smart contracts, the Group derecognizes the original digital assets and recognizes the protocol-specific digital assets received in return. The protocol-specific digital assets are classified as intangible assets utilizing the revaluation method as the protocol-specific digital assets are traded in active markets. Upon redeeming the protocol-specific asset for the underlying digital asset, the protocol-specific digital asset is derecognized and the returned digital asset is recognized.

3 Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

In preparing these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, management has made judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income, and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Refer to the Annual Financial Statements for a comprehensive discussion of critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty.

 

The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the Annual Financial Statements, with the following updates or emphasis for the interim period:

 

(i) Fair market value of digital assets held

 

The determination of fair value for digital assets continues to require judgment, particularly in identifying principal markets.

 

(ii)  Goodwill and Other intangible assets impairment

 

Management assesses Goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators exist. Other intangible assets are assessed if indicators of impairment arise. Other intangible assets excludes Digital assets held - intangible assets. No new material indicators of impairment were identified during the three months ended June 30, 2025, that were not already considered in the Annual Financial Statements.

(c)     Regulatory oversight risk

 

Regulatory changes or actions may restrict the use of digital assets or the operation of digital asset networks or exchanges in a manner that adversely affects investments held by the Group. The Group consistently engages with external legal counsel and regulatory advisors to understand any updates on the regulatory landscape that may impact our business.

 

(d)     Market risk

 

Market risk is the potential for loss resulting from unfavorable market movements, which can arise from changes in various market factors as follows:

 

(i)            Price risk of digital assets

 

The Group is exposed to price risk associated with its holdings of digital assets, primarily BTC and ETH. The prices of digital assets are subject to significant volatility and are influenced by numerous factors. These include, but are not limited to: global supply and demand dynamics, interest and exchange rates, inflation or deflation, and broader political and economic conditions.

 

The Group's exposure to price risk primarily arises from its direct holdings of digital assets and certain intercompany receivables, both of which are measured at fair value. Management actively monitors market conditions and potential exposure to mitigate these risks.

 

(ii)            Interest rate risk

 

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk, specifically the risk associated with changes in rate on interest bearing financial assets including cash balances deposited at financial institutions. The Group manages its interest rate risk through regular assessments of the existing interest rate environment, the current outlook, and the potential impact of any changes in rate.

 

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the reporting date. A 50 basis point increase or decrease represents management's assessment of the reasonable possible change in interest rate.

 

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher or lower with all other variables were held constant, the Group's profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 would have been $0.8 million (June 30, 2024: $1.1 million) lower/higher.

 

(iii)            Currency risk

 

The Group is exposed to exchange rate fluctuation risk as a result of operating in multiple jurisdictions with different operating currencies. Financial assets and financial liabilities are primarily denominated in the functional currency of the respective company. Overall currency risk of the Group is minimal and no sensitivity analysis is presented.

Significant activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 included grants under the 2024 Plan. Refer to the Annual Financial Statements for details of plans existing at December 31, 2024.

 

In February 2025, the Board of Directors passed a resolution to adopt a new equity incentive plan (the “2024 Plan”). The 2024 Plan allows for the granting of stock options to management, employees, advisors, and other key service providers.

 

Options under the 2024 Plan may be granted for contractual periods of up to ten years at prices authorized by the Board of Directors. Options granted under the 2024 Plan typically vest ratably on an annual basis over four years and are subject to additional terms and conditions including exercise period, lapse, and forfeiture. In the event of a corporate transaction that results in a change of control or a public listing, the options will be subject to a lock up for a specified period after the triggering event.

 

The number of options and RSUs and their respective exercise prices presented in the tables below are on a pre-Reverse Split basis and have not been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split. As described in Note 1, these awards were also adjusted as part of the IPO Reorganization.

The fair value of the employee and consultancy services received in exchange for the grant of the compensatory equity awards is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in share based payment reserve. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted. The total expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.

31 Commitments and contingencies

 

The Group entered into loan commitments through the Exchange to provide funds to customers at a future date. These commitments typically have a specified term and may be subject to unconditional cancellation or may remain in effect, contingent upon the satisfaction of all conditions outlined in the related loan agreements. These commitments encompass undrawn credit facilities and represent the Group's intent to provide funds as per the agreed terms and conditions.

 

In addition, the Group entered into a secured revolving credit facility, committing to provide up to 20 million USDC, with interest accruing daily. The loan must be fully repaid on the same day it is borrowed.

 

The table below presents the outstanding, undrawn, off-balance sheet financial commitments as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands)

Total financial commitments   168,129    136,130 

 

(i)As of June 30, 2025, the total loan facility is $75.0 million, of which $20.0 million is committed. As of December 31, 2024, the total loan facility was $50.0 million, of which $20.0 million was committed.

 

On December 31, 2022, the Group entered into an agreement with a cloud platform services provider to commit to a minimum total of $30 million in order to receive a discount for their cloud platform related services. The commitment is divided into two periods: Commitment Period 1 and Commitment Period 2. Commitment Period 1 is 24 months long or shorter if the agreement is terminated and requires a minimum commitment of $16 million. Commitment Period 2 is 12 months or shorter if the agreement is terminated after the end of Commitment Period 1 and requires a minimum commitment of $14 million. At the end of each commitment period or upon earlier termination, if the Group fails to meet its minimum commitment for a given period, it will need to make up the difference between the minimum commitment and the fees incurred for cloud platform related services during that period. The Group received a service credit of $3 million for using certain applicable services as of December 31, 2024. The Group is entitled to receive an additional $3 million service credit after having met the $15 million milestone as of June 30, 2025. The Group recognizes the service credit over the commitment period on a straight line basis under Information technology and software expenses within Other expense.
