FTX Increased Revenue By 1,000% – Leaked Documents Reveal

FTX increased revenue by 1,000% according to leaked documents. The financial data of the business was obtained by the news source CNBC. The documents revealed that FTX grew its income by 1,000% in 2021, from $89 million to $1020 million.

FTX Increased Revenue By 1,000%

According to the filings, FTX’s net sales would more than triple to $387 million in 2021. A big rise from the $14 million it earned in 2020.

A Billion Dollar Opportunity – The Crypto Winter

Despite the bad market that forced the closure of numerous cryptocurrency exchanges in 2022, the firm has maintained its hot streak. According to CNBC, it produced over $270 million in profit during the first quarter of the year and is on track to earn more than $1.1 billion in revenue.

The puzzle is: how did the firm manage to achieve such strong earnings despite the effects of the crypto-winter? According to CNBC, FTX declined to address this question. The data have previously been validated by the company’s CEO and founder, Sam Bankman-Fried.

It is worth noting that FTX was created three years ago and has quickly become a big rival to Binance and Coinbase, two exchanges that control a large portion of the bitcoin user base. However, unlike FTX, they are struggling through the crypto winter.

For example, Coinbase reported a 64% drop in sales from the previous quarter in the first quarter of 2022, reflecting a net loss of more than $1.1 billion. It even had to lay off a significant portion of its workers in a contentious decision that was extensively debated on crypto Twitter.

Building On Bearish Times

To accelerate its market expansion, FTX has purchased several firms this year, including Bitvo, a Canadian trading platform, and Embed Financial Technologies, an equities clearing platform.

FTX made an offer to purchase Voyager Digital in July this year, but Voyager declined. Its attorneys said that the proposition was neither fair nor advantageous to them.

“It was a very low offer disguised as a white knight’s ransom.”

Although Bankman-Fried has often stated his desire to assist other crypto entrepreneurs, it is also true that his firm has taken advantage of the present market conditions to acquire several ailing enterprises.

FTX is now contemplating the acquisition of Bithumb, a Korean cryptocurrency exchange, and has struck a deal with BlockFi to purchase it for $240 million. It also attempted to purchase Celsius but withdrew shortly thereafter.

With all of these bailouts and acquisitions on the table, it’s difficult to believe SBF’s statements. The exchange is definitely purchasing on the sound of guns, as Nathan Rothschild would say. However, unlike the concluding section of the financial adagio, it has yet to sell to the sound of trumpets.
