Silver Spring, MD, Aug. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BTCS Inc. (Nasdaq: BTCS) (“BTCS” or the “Company”), a blockchain technology-focused company, announced its results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2023 (“Q2 2023”). Second Quarter 2023 Financial HighlightsQ2 2023 revenue improved 21% over Q1 2023 to $0.4 million but remained lower than Q2 2022 by 25% as a result of the depressed crypto asset prices. Gross margins for Q2 2023 were 71% compared to 74% for Q1 2022, with gross margins of 72% for the first half of 2023. Net loss for Q2 2023 decreased to $1.0 million ($0.07 per share) compared to $1.4 million ($0.10 per share) for Q1 2023 and $7.7 million ($0.61 per share) for Q2 2022. Net loss for the first half of 2023 was $2.4 million ($0.18 per share) compared to $13.5 million ($1.08 per share) for the first half of 2022. Net losses during the first half of 2022 were largely driven by $12.2 million crypto asset impairment losses realized, compared to only $0.9 million impairment charges in the first half of 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $0.9 million in cash. The fair value of our crypto assets increased 63% YoY to $19.4 million in Q2 2023. The fair value of our crypto assets together with our cash equated to approximately $1.47 per share as of June 30, 2023.
