Circle Q2 2026: $701M of Reserve Income, and a $530M Swing That Wasn't Operations

Circle's Q2 2026 total revenue and reserve income was $701.3M (+7% YoY), with net income from continuing operations of $48.2M — a $530M YoY swing explained by last year's $503.4M IPO stock-compensation charge rolling off, not USDC demand. Period-end USDC circulation fell to $73.3B from $77.0B, distribution partners kept 58.8% of revenue, and ~$242M of ARC Token presale proceeds sit as deferred revenue ahead of the September 16 Arc mainnet, all reconstructed in Circle's public Beancount ledger.

Circle Q1 2026: $694M in Revenue, and Most of It Never Stays

Circle's Q1 2026 revenue was $694.1M (+20% YoY) with USDC in circulation at $77.0B, but $405.4M — 58.4% — went to distribution partners, leaving an RLDC margin of 41%. Reserve income is 94% of revenue, so the top line tracks short-term interest rates. Rebuilding Circle's books in a public Beancount ledger also shows FY2025 was a net-loss year (−$70M), driven by a one-time $503.4M IPO compensation charge in Q2.
