Bitfire Group flags steep interim loss on crypto asset downturn and higher costs

Story Highlights
  • Bitfire expects a sharply wider interim net loss, driven mainly by substantial fair value losses on crypto assets at its Japanese compliant exchange.
  • Rising operating and R&D expenses tied to business growth and the absence of last year’s one-off impairment reversal further deepen Bitfire’s projected deficit.

Bitfire Group flags steep interim loss on crypto asset downturn and higher costs

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

New Huo Technology Holdings Limited ( (HK:1611) ) has issued an update.

Bitfire Group Holdings has warned that it expects to post a net loss of up to HK$245 million for the six months ended 31 March 2026, a sharp deterioration from the HK$12.3 million loss a year earlier. The swing is largely driven by a HK$152.4 million fair value loss on crypto assets held by its Japanese compliant exchange, reflecting market weakness in digital asset prices.

The group also cited higher operating expenses of about HK$69.6 million tied to business expansion and service upgrades, alongside a HK$13.2 million rise in research and development spending on technology-enabled products. In addition, last year’s figures benefited from a one-off reversal of impairment on other receivables that did not recur, prompting the company to caution shareholders and potential investors as it finalises interim results due by the end of May 2026.
