Missing figures stay unavailable. Forward P/E requires a dated source. Annual revenue, revenue growth, net income and margin come from each company's own 10-K, in US dollars, and each row shows that fiscal year. Revenue growth compares the fiscal year with the prior year stated in the same 10-K. Net income is the full year amount attributable to the company, or available to common stockholders where the filing states only that, or consolidated net income. Each row names its basis. Trailing P/E reads "Not meaningful" when the dated trailing diluted EPS is a loss or zero. An operating margin appears only when the filing states both the operating income and the revenue for the same year.
Sources: SEC filings, Gloria daily closes and CoinGecko. Oldest record refresh: Oct 27, 2026, 10:41 PM EDT. Refresh is not a price or filing date. Each row shows its price date and its annual fiscal period. Peers use industry code and company size, or editorial selection. Market cap multiplies that row price by the company share total the latest SEC filing states for every share class together. Trailing P/E divides it by trailing diluted earnings from SEC filings. Rolled earnings per share are approximate because share counts can change between periods. Both appear only when the SEC data carries its date, so they are estimates at one price date, not synchronized filing valuations. Not investment advice.
Circle Internet Group just dropped its second quarter earnings, and the numbers tell a story of a company quietly building the plumbing for institutional crypto. Revenue and reserve income hit $701 million for Q2 2026, a 7% bump year-over-year. Net income from continuing operations came in at $48 million.
Those topline numbers slightly missed some analyst expectations. CRCL shares popped roughly 9% in pre-market trading.
Arc’s founding validators read like a Davos guest list

A federal bank charter changes the game
On July 10, 2026, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency granted Circle final approval for a national trust bank charter, allowing Circle to offer federally regulated digital asset custody services.
What this means for investors and the broader market
Circle’s revenue is heavily dependent on interest earned from USDC reserves, which means rate cuts from the Federal Reserve directly compress margins. A 7% revenue increase sounds healthy until you consider that USDC circulation growth and transaction volume growth were both dramatically higher in percentage terms. The gap between usage growth and revenue growth hints at margin pressure that could intensify if rates fall further.
