Q4 has been a good quarter for Arcane with record revenue and improved result. We increased net sales by 83% compared to the previous quarter and our gross profit increased by 67% also compared to the previous quarter.

On the tech front, we launched Research in live beta on our new platform. On the mining front, we received the second delivery of our mining machines and are now running at a capacity of close to 80 PH/s.

Our portfolio company LN Markets has continued to set new records in trading activity, benefitting from increasing adoption of Lightning. Pure Digital continues to see strong interest from tier one banks, driven by the underlying client demand from institutional investors.

“Q2 has been a great quarter for Arcane Crypto on many fronts as we continue to deliver on our core strategy, to develop and invest in projects focused on bitcoin and digital assets. Our revenue saw strong growth and exceeded 100 MSEK in the quarter, with a gross margin on sales of 5.5 MSEK, for the first time in the Group’s history. The revenue was mainly driven by our acquisition of Kaupang, while the gross margin on sales was also driven by a record quarter for Arcane Assets and Arcane Research.

During the quarter Bank of New York Mellon, announced its involvement with the Pure Digital project. They are joining State Street and 4 other tier one banks, that have yet to be disclosed, exploring the possibilities of a bitcoin interbank marketplace for digital assets.

From an Arcane group perspective, we see great potential in bringing our portfolio of companies even closer together. We’re just getting started. We are working tirelessly to build Arcane into Europe’s leading platform to learn, trade, and invest in the blockchain ecosystem.”
