Coinbase posted a Q1 EPS miss, but with Bitcoin strength, rising service revenue, and valuation tailwinds, upside remains. Read why COIN stock is a buy.

For the quarter ended March 31, Coinbase reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.94, down from $2.53 per share in the same quarter of 2024, on revenue of $2.04 billion, up 24% year-over-year. The results were mixed, as earnings per share came in just ahead of the $1.93 expected by analysts, but revenue fell short of an expected $2.1 billion.

CEO Brian Armstrong added that Deribit’s acquisition is his company’s “biggest move yet” to expand internationally.
