Fold, a financial services company listed on Nasdaq with a focus on Bitcoin, sold a significant number of bitcoins in the first half of 2026 to reduce debt and fund its operations. According to reports, the company sold a total of 832 $BTC over the first six months of the year.
Following the sales, the amount of bitcoin on Fold's balance sheet decreased significantly. The company's current bitcoin reserves dropped to 194 $BTC, indicating a notable reduction in Fold's crypto assets.
The financial results also revealed increased pressure on the company. In the first half of the year, Fold reported an operating loss of $15.6 million. Over the same period, the company's total net loss reached $38.8 million. These figures raised additional questions about the company's operational and financial performance.
Analysts say that if the current level of losses persists, Fold may require additional funding. This could include raising capital through issuing new shares or selling part of its bitcoin reserves.
While many public companies in recent years have preferred to hold bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset on their balance sheets, Fold's need to reduce its reserves has drawn attention. The fact that a company known for its bitcoin-centric business model is selling $BTC to fund its operations is under close scrutiny from investors.
Although the company's management has not provided a detailed explanation of its future capital-raising plans, the current financial statements suggest that Fold may take new steps to strengthen its cash flow. Market experts believe the financial results and bitcoin strategy the company announces in the coming quarters will be crucial for investor confidence.
