Exodus generates revenue from API integration fees charged to third parties. Monthly active users, however, decreased 6% to 772,839 in the second quarter, from 817,972 last year.

Despite the decline in revenue, Exodus' results were strengthened by cost reductions of 6% year-over-year, to $7.1 million in the second quarter.

Amid the bear market, Exodus also slashed its administrative and marketing allocations by 65% in the quarter, resulting in expenses of $4 million. Total general and administrative expenses represented 32.2% of company revenue, a significant decrease from 87.1% in the second quarter of 2022.

As of June 30, Exodus held $55 million in cash, cash equivalents, and U.S. Treasury Bills, as well as $46.2 million worth of Bitcoin, claiming to be one of few public companies holding over 1,000 Bitcoin in corporate treasury.
