CoinShares Sets New Benchmark with Exceptional Q1 2024 Financial Performance

by

As an experienced financial analyst, I am impressed by CoinShares International Limited’s exceptional financial performance in Q1 2024. The company’s revenue, gains, and income reached an all-time high of £43.9 million, representing a significant increase of 216% compared to the same period last year. This growth is not only a testament to CoinShares’ financial prowess but also its commitment to expanding globally.

In the first quarter of 2024, CoinShares International Limited, a leading asset management firm focusing on digital assets, achieved remarkable growth and prosperity, surpassing previous financial benchmarks.

CoinShares in Q1 2024

In a recent disclosure, Jean-Marie Mognetti, our asset management CEO, shared that the first quarter of the current year saw exceptional performance for our company. Our revenue, earnings, and other sources of income surged to £43.9 million, marking a substantial 216% increase compared to the same period last year. Furthermore, our total income for this quarter reached an impressive £34.1 million, representing a significant leap from the meager £2.9 million we earned during the first quarter of 2023.

In Q1 2024, we achieved our best performance yet with a total of £43.9 million in revenues, profits, and earnings, representing a remarkable year-over-year increase of 105.2%, resulting in an adjusted EBITDA of £34.2 million and a significant margin of 78%.

Mognetti added that this milestone isn’t just about improving financial results, but also underscores CoinShares’ dedication to increasing its global footprint. This was evident in its acquisition of Valkyrie’s ETF business in March 2024. The purchase of Valkyrie’s ETF business and the approval of ETFs in the US represent opportunities for CoinShares to strengthen its position as a global powerhouse in the asset management sector.

Success Contributors

The asset manager experienced significant growth in investments from CoinShares Physical, contributing notably to the enhancement of financial results. This segment recorded its best-ever quarterly earnings in management fees, totaling approximately £3.3 million, a substantial jump from the same quarter in 2023 with £0.6 million. Furthermore, the launch of staking CS physical Ethereum further bolstered CoinShares’ performance, resulting in a 64% expansion in Assets Under Management (AUM) – from £567.2 million to £932.1 million.

In addition to CoinShare Physical, XBT Provider generated substantial revenue through fees, totalling £15.7 million during the first quarter – a significant increase from the £8.3 million earned in the same period last year. This impressive feat was accomplished despite experiencing a net withdrawal of approximately US$238.3 million (£188.6 million) during the quarter, which was more than the US$27.4 million (£21.7 million) seen in Q1 of the previous year. Nevertheless, XBT Provider managed to rake in a substantial amount of fee income.

During the past quarter, the Assets Under Management (AUM) of our Capital Market & Hedge Fund Solutions experienced a significant growth of 54%. The figure escalated from US$2.38 billion (approximately £1.87 billion) to a final AUM of US$3.65 billion (approximately £2.89 billion). This expansion was largely influenced by robust market activity and fruitful staking and trading returns.

For the fiscal year 2023, the company’s board of directors has set a new dividend policy, promising to distribute between 20% and 40% of the organization’s total comprehensive income as annual dividends. The first installment was paid out on May 3rd, with three additional payments planned for the remainder of the year.
