  2. Fold Sees $4.2M in Q3 Revenue as Bitcoin Gift Cards Expand — this brief

Fold reported $4.2 million in revenue for the third quarter, with its Bitcoin gift-card business gaining traction as the company expanded distribution through TikTok Shop. The quarter nevertheless ended in a net loss, showing that higher revenue did not translate into profitability during the period.

NewsBTC, the sole outlet covering the development, said Fold is also shifting toward retaining customer balances. That move changes the focus of the business from gift-card transactions toward keeping funds with the platform for longer, although the summary did not provide figures for balances, losses or customer adoption.

The development places Fold within a broader Bitcoin market under pressure. Bitcoin was trading at $71,559, down 3.78% over 24 hours and 5.76% over seven days, while the overall crypto market capitalization stood at $2.46 trillion and was broadly lower.

The expansion indicates that conventional social-commerce channels are becoming relevant to Bitcoin-based products. For Fold, the immediate focus is whether gift-card growth through TikTok Shop can support the balance-retention strategy while the company works through the reported quarterly loss; the supplied coverage did not set a target date or forecast results.
