Herford, May 17, 2022 – Bitcoin Group SE (ISIN DE000A1TNV91) today presented its annual report for the year 2021. After another record year, the Management Board and Supervisory Board will propose a dividend of EUR 0.10 per share for the first time at the Annual General Meeting to be held on July 1, 2022.

In the financial year 2021, Bitcoin Group SE generated revenues of EUR 25.4 million compared to EUR 15.0 million in 2020, representing an increase of 69.3%. The strong increase was primarily due to the high demand for cryptocurrencies on the Bitcoin.de trading platform. Therefore, it has been possible to significantly expand commission income in cryptocurrency trading and also to record a similar dynamic with regard to the development of earnings. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased by 87.6% to EUR 19.7 million compared to EUR 10.5 million in the previous year. Earnings per share rose from EUR 1.90 in 2020 to EUR 2.67 in 2021. The high demand for cryptocurrencies is also reflected in a further increase in the own portfolio of the subsidiary futurum bank AG. This more than doubled compared to 2020 to EUR 181.1 million at the end of December 2021.

Bitcoin Group SE is meeting the high demand for crypto assets with an expanded offering on Bitcoin.de. In the first half of 2021, Dogecoin (DOGE) was added as a new currency, which means that a total of eight major cryptocurrencies can now be traded on the platform. In addition to trading cryptocurrencies against euros, Bitcoin.de also offers trading of pure cryptocurrency pairs.
