What’s fueling the 30% revenue decline projection?

However, Yahoo Finance’s analysis estimates a 30% to 40% decline in revenue in 2026 due to regulatory issues. For instance, Connecticut suspended BTM operations in the state. The suspension was a result of excessive fees and failure to refund those defrauded.

In the first three quarters of 2025, BTM managed to record more than $150 million, but the fourth quarter earnings declined by about $50 million. Notably, earnings per share for Q1 2026 were estimated at negative 0.69.

To be specific, BTM’s average estimate for Q1 2026 ranged between $98 million and $133 million. The continuous loss of revenue since the end of the third quarter in 2025 has contributed to the decline in price of BTM since mid-June.
