GEMI Stock Soars After Hours As Stronger-Than-Expected Q1 Results Meet $100M Winklevoss Investment

• Gemini’s prediction markets business, launched in late 2025, generated $0.4 million in its first full quarter, with roughly 20,000 users active since its debut.
• CEO Tyler Winklevoss said that the markets have significantly undervalued Gemini. 
• In Q1, the company’s revenue and earnings both beat Wall Street estimates.

Gemini Space Station Inc. (GEMI) shares climbed approximately 21% in after-hours trading on Thursday, after the crypto and prediction markets platform posted stronger-than-expected first-quarter results and announced a $100 million strategic investment from Winklevoss Capital Fund at a premium price of $14 per share.

Total revenue rose 42% year-over-year to $50.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, driven by rapid diversification away from traditional spot trading, and exceeding an analyst estimate of $49.24 million.

Services revenue and interest income more than doubled to $24.5 million—now making up 49% of total revenue—while credit card revenue increased nearly 300% to $14.7 million on strong user growth. Transaction revenue held steady at $24.1 million, but exchange revenue fell 27% to $17.2 million as overall trading volume halved to $6.3 billion amid softer crypto market activity. The company narrowed its net loss to $109 million, or $0.93 per share, from $149.3 million a year earlier. Wall Street, on average, was expecting a loss per share of $1.19.

Premium Placement To Aid GEMI’s Pivot

Gemini simultaneously closed the $100 million private placement with Winklevoss Capital Fund, issuing roughly 7.14 million shares of Class A common stock for which the consideration was paid in bitcoin.

The company said the capital will accelerate product development, marketplace expansion, and general corporate purposes as the company transitions from a pure crypto platform into a full-stack markets business.

The results and investment arrive amid several regulatory and product milestones. In late April, Gemini received a Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) license from the CFTC—positioning it among a small group of crypto-native firms with in-house clearing capabilities for futures, options, and predictions. Its prediction markets business, launched in late 2025, generated $0.4 million in its first full quarter, with roughly 20,000 users active since its debut. Monthly transacting users grew 17% year-over-year to 589,000, even as assets on the platform dipped to $11.1 billion amid lower crypto valuations.

“We believe the market has significantly undervalued Gemini, and that this investment will allow us to set up the company for its next phase of growth,” said CEO Tyler Winklevoss. Cameron Winklevoss, president, added that momentum in diversified revenue streams is expected to accelerate following the DCO license and broader marketplace ambitions.

Operating expenses rose 73% to $144.5 million, reflecting investments in credit-card growth and marketing, though the company completed a reduction in force during the quarter that is expected to stabilize its cost base going forward. Cash and equivalents stood at $215.6 million at quarter-end.
