COO Marshall Beard, CFO Dan Chen, and CLO Tyler Meade all left effective February 17. Beard also stepped down from the board. The company said his exit was not related to any operational dispute.
Gemini said it would not replace the COO role. Co-founder Cameron Winklevoss will take on those duties, including revenue oversight. Danijela Stojanovic moves up from chief accounting officer to interim CFO, and Kate Freedman steps in as interim general counsel.
The stock was trading near $6.54 at the time — close to its all-time low. GEMI went public on the Nasdaq in September, raising $425 million in its debut. It hasn’t had much to celebrate since.
Restructuring Already Underway
The executive exits didn’t arrive in isolation. Just weeks earlier, Gemini announced it was cutting 25% of its workforce and shutting down operations in the UK, EU, and Australia.
The company said it is shifting focus to the US market and its prediction market platform, which recently received a US license.
Analyst James Seyffart called it a “big shakeup” on X. The stock’s reaction said the same.
Revenue Up, Losses Bigger
Gemini released preliminary 2025 financials alongside the filing. Net revenue is expected to land between $165 million and $175 million, up from $141 million in 2024. Monthly transacting users grew roughly 17% year-over-year to around 600,000.
But the costs tell a different story. Operating expenses are projected to exceed $530 million. Adjusted EBITDA losses are expected around $260 million, with net losses approaching $600 million for the year.
Analyst Diario Bitcoin flagged the widening losses as a key concern, pointing out that rising costs are eating through revenue gains faster than growth can keep up.
Legal Overhang Cleared
One piece of good news: in January, the SEC dismissed a 2023 civil case against Gemini Trust Company over unregistered securities offerings. That removed a legal cloud that had been hanging over the company.
Bitcoin has fallen more than 40% from its peak of $126,251, dragging on the broader crypto sector. Gemini did not cite the downturn as a driver of its restructuring.
GEMI stock closed Tuesday down more than 13%, near all-time lows around $6.50.
