Bitcoin’s November 4, 2026 earnings release showed a return to quarterly profit, with the company reporting approximately $126 million in net income. The company also recorded a roughly 5% increase in Satoshis Per Share and did not issue shares through its at-the-market program, according to The Cryptonomist’s summary of the release.
Mining margins were under pressure because of higher seasonal power costs. The report links that expense increase to the company’s operating environment, while its expanded Bitcoin reserve and increased Satoshis Per Share point to a larger Bitcoin allocation and improved per-share production measure during the quarter.
