Phoenix Digital Assets Gibraltar PLC
Half-yearly results for the six months
ended 30 June 2026
Company Registration No. 126184 (
Executive Chairman's statement
I present the unaudited results of Phoenix Digital Assets (Gibraltar) PLC (the "Company", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2026.
The Group recorded a loss before tax of
The result for the period reflects movements in the value of the Group's digital asset holdings. Digital asset prices, having declined over the course of 2025, fell further during the first half of 2026 before reaching a low in June. The Group's portfolio is carried at fair value through profit and loss, and the fall in market prices gave rise to a net fair value loss on digital assets and tokens of
At 30 June 2026 the Group held 243.96 Bitcoin and 64,038 HYPE tokens, together with smaller holdings, with a combined carrying value of
Administrative expenses for the period were
On 27 January 2026 the Group completed its scheme of arrangement, under which the Company, incorporated in Gibraltar, became the parent company of the Group and shareholders received one new share for each share previously held in Phoenix Digital Assets PLC. Trading in the Company's shares on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market commenced on 28 January 2026. The reorganisation has been accounted for as a continuation of the existing Group, and the comparative figures in these interim results are those of the predecessor group.
At the period end, the Company had
The Group continues to hold the substantial majority of its digital assets in cold storage, with the private keys required to access those assets held in bank vaults in more than one country.
The Group's results will continue to be determined principally by the performance of digital asset markets, which are inherently volatile and can move materially in either direction over short periods. The Board's strategy is unchanged: to manage the Group's portfolio of digital assets and investments with the objective of creating value for shareholders over the longer term. I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support.

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the six months ended 30 June 2026
1. Basis of preparation
The consolidated interim results of Phoenix Digital Assets (Gibraltar) PLC (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2026 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and using accounting policies consistent with those applied in the predecessor Group's audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, except where the Group reorganisation described in note 2 requires a change in presentation.
The financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2026 and 30 June 2025 is unaudited. It has not been audited or reviewed by the Group's external auditors and has been reviewed by the Directors only. The comparative information for the year ended 31 December 2025 has been derived from the audited financial statements of Phoenix Digital Assets Limited (formerly Phoenix Digital Assets PLC) for that year.
The consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Pound Sterling (£), rounded to the nearest pound unless otherwise stated. The consolidated interim financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
At 30 June 2026 the Group comprised Phoenix Digital Assets (Gibraltar) PLC, Phoenix Digital Assets Limited (UK) and 1319644 B.C. Ltd (Canada). All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
2. Group reorganisation
On 27 January 2026, pursuant to a scheme of arrangement, Phoenix Digital Assets (Gibraltar) PLC ("New Phoenix" or the "Company") acquired the entire issued share capital of Phoenix Digital Assets PLC ("Old Phoenix"). Under the Scheme, shareholders of Old Phoenix received one ordinary share in New Phoenix for each ordinary share held in Old Phoenix. New Phoenix thereby became the new parent company of the Group and Old Phoenix became a wholly owned subsidiary. Trading in the shares of New Phoenix commenced on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market on 28 January 2026. Old Phoenix was subsequently re-registered as a private limited company under the name Phoenix Digital Assets Limited. As part of the reorganisation, the relevant assets and liabilities of the predecessor business were transferred to New Phoenix at their historical carrying values.
The reorganisation represented a change in the legal parent of the Group and did not result in a substantive change in the underlying business or in the relative interests of shareholders. Accordingly, the reorganisation has been accounted for in these consolidated interim financial statements as a continuation of the existing Group. Assets and liabilities have been carried forward at their historical carrying amounts and no goodwill or other fair value uplift has been recognised. In the separate entity workings, the reorganisation adjustments have been retained within intercompany balances and are eliminated on consolidation.
As part of the reorganisation, the predecessor Group's capital redemption reserve of
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the six months ended 30 June 2026 therefore includes the results of the predecessor Group for the period before the reorganisation and the results of the Group headed by New Phoenix thereafter. The comparative information for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and the year ended 31 December 2025 represents the historical consolidated financial information of Old Phoenix and its subsidiaries (the predecessor Group).
3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The principal areas of judgement and estimation continue to include the valuation of unquoted investments, valuation of share-based payments and the measurement of digital assets and tokens. During the period, management has also applied judgement in determining the appropriate accounting and presentation for the Group reorganisation described in note 2.
4. Share based payments
The Group recognised a share-based payment expense of
The replacement of outstanding predecessor options and warrants with equivalent instruments in New Phoenix as part of the January 2026 reorganisation has been treated as a continuation of the existing awards, with no incremental fair value recognised on the replacement. The cumulative predecessor share-based payment reserve has therefore been carried forward.
5. Loss per ordinary share
The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the loss for the period attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the Company and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
For all periods presented, there is no difference between basic and diluted loss per share due to the loss position of the Group. Share options and warrants that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in future periods have not been included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
