Financial Analysis

Bitfinex does not publish audited accounts, so hard numbers are rare. The best-known disclosure came in May 2019, when it reported 2017 gross profit of $333.5 million, net profit of $326 million and $246 million in dividends, according to Bloomberg. That year iFinex also raised $1 billion selling LEO tokens after about $850 million held by payment processor Crypto Capital was frozen. In December 2025 the exchange said it had been consistently profitable for many years when it removed trading fees. The largest swing factor is the 94,643 BTC seized by US authorities from the 2016 hacker: January 2025 court filings supported returning it to Bitfinex in kind, and under the LEO white paper at least 80% of net recovered funds, after Recovery Right Token holders are paid, go to LEO buybacks within 18 months. Bitfinex operates as a highly lucrative but privately held cryptocurrency exchange, handling billions in daily trading volume.
