Bakkt reports Q3 2026 results and sets aggressive transaction‑volume targets for 2026‑27

Bakkt posted third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $149.2 million, a 62.9% decline year‑over‑year, and recorded net income of $14.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. The company narrowed its operating loss to $14.4 million and its adjusted EBITDA loss to $11.8 million. Management announced the completion of its transformation and reaffirmed a full‑year 2026 total‑transaction‑volume (TTV) goal of about $3 billion, while targeting roughly $6 billion for the first half of 2027. Monthly active users on Bakkt’s payment rails were 9,760 in September, with a plan to reach about 25,000 by December, and a new monthly “Bakkt engine report” will begin in December to track volume progress.

The company’s cash balance of $37.3 million and lack of long‑term debt give it flexibility to fund commercial expansion while it pursues the volume targets. Achieving the $6 billion first‑half‑2027 TTV would require a substantial increase in client activation and could drive higher revenue and margins, according to the CFO’s comments.
