Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net

Changes in goodwill for the periods presented consisted of the following (in thousands):


Balance as of December 31, 2023
Goodwill	$	1,579,265
Accumulated Impairment	(1,511,264)
	68,001

Balance as of December 31, 2024

Balance as of December 31, 2025
Goodwill	1,575,922
Accumulated Impairment	(1,511,264)
	$	64,658

The Company recorded no impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and recorded an impairment charge of $12.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.

No goodwill was allocated to the sale of the Loyalty business based on the financial terms and conditions of the transaction. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company completed the sale of Bakkt Trust and included approximately $3.3 million of goodwill in the carrying amount of Bakkt Trust upon sale and in determining the loss on sale.

Impairment Analyses Performed During The Year Ended December 31, 2025

The Company conducts an impairment assessment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present.

On March 14, 2025, the Company's largest crypto client, Webull, notified the Company that it would not renew its agreement with Bakkt that ended on June 14, 2025, although the Company continues to service a limited number of states under an amended agreement with Webull. Due to the significance of Webull to the Company's historical Crypto services revenue, Bakkt management determined that the non-renewal notification was a triggering event indicating a potential impairment of the Company's goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company elected to bypass performing a qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to a quantitative impairment assessment.

The Company retained a third-party valuation firm to estimate the fair value of its indefinite lived intangible asset (the “Tradename”) and single reporting unit.

Goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its estimated fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill for that reporting unit. For the quantitative goodwill impairment analysis, the Company compared the estimated fair value of its reporting unit to the carrying amount. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit was derived using a market approach and an income approach, with equal weighting given to both approaches. A discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model was used for the income approach. The DCF model reflected the

Company’s assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, forecast earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) margins (and thus operating expenses), capital expenditures, discount rates (including the company-specific risk premium assumption), terminal period growth rates, economic and market trends, and other expectations about the anticipated operating results of its reporting unit. Management estimates of future performance and metrics of guideline public companies (“GPCs”) were used to estimate revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, and discount rate. Market and industry reports and data were used to estimate terminal period growth rates. The base of the income approach utilized the Company’s projected cash flow estimates, which are unobservable, Level 3 inputs. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available. The overall forecast estimate was developed using the best information available as of March 31, 2025, in consultation with a third-party valuation firm. The discount rate used is intended to be commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in Bakkt’s business. The market approach valuation was derived from metrics of the GPCs, which are Level 2 inputs, and management estimates of future performance with consideration for a control premium. A significant judgment in using the market approach includes the selection of comparable GPCs with consideration of risk profiles, size, geography, and business operations.

The impairment analysis for the Tradename involved the use of a relief from royalty approach, which estimated the value of the stream of payments a market participant would pay to make use of the in-place Tradename. Significant judgments in this analysis included forecasted revenue and growth rates, the royalty rate, and the discount rate.

The discount rate used in the valuations described above was 12.5%.

The results of the Company’s quantitative impairment analyses as of March 31, 2025 indicated that there was no impairment of the Company’s Tradename or goodwill. In the event the financial performance of the reporting unit does not meet management’s expectations in the future, the Company experiences a prolonged macroeconomic downturn, there is a decline in the Company’s market capitalization, or there are other negative revisions to key assumptions used in the DCF or Market Approach used to value the Tradename and reporting unit, the Company may be required to perform additional impairment analyses with respect to the reporting unit and Tradename and could be required to recognize impairment charges.

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2025. For the annual assessment, management evaluated the following qualitative factors:

•Macroeconomic conditions impacting the Company’s commercial objectives and/or business plans;

•Industry and market considerations, including the structural growth in institutional adoption, stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization;

•Cost factors and overall Company financial performance; and

•The Company’s market capitalization relative to the book value of its equity.

Bakkt management determined that there were no events or circumstances that changed the Company’s previous conclusion as of March 31, 2025 that the fair value of its single reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount.

Impairment Analyses Performed During The Year Ended December 31, 2024

The Company conducts an impairment assessment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. The Company retained a third-party valuation firm to estimate the fair value of its Tradename and single reporting unit.

The discount rate used in the valuations described above was 12.5%.

The results of the Company’s 2024 quantitative impairment analyses indicated there was no impairment of the Company’s Tradename or goodwill. Bakkt Management considered the existence of material nonpublic information as of December 31, 2024 in reaching this conclusion (Level 3 inputs).

The Company’s goodwill was not impacted by foreign currency translation during the year ended December 31, 2025 and was impacted by foreign currency translation of less than $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company acquired website domain names for approximately $2.7 million. The domain names were acquired to support the global expansion of Bakkt’s digital asset strategy in strategic jurisdictions.

Bakkt did not record any amortization of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Amortization of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $2.7 million and is included in Depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

As a result of the business combination that resulted in Bakkt becoming a public company, the Company acquired a controlling interest in Opco, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and in most applicable state and local income tax jurisdictions. As a partnership, Opco is not itself subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by Opco is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its partners, including the Company following the business combination, on a pro rata basis. The Company’s U.S. federal and state income tax expense primarily relates to the Company’s allocable share of any taxable income or loss of Opco following the business combination. In addition, Opco’s wholly owned corporate subsidiaries that are consolidated for U.S. GAAP purposes but separately taxed for foreign income tax purposes as corporations are generating foreign income tax expense.

Subsequent to the Reorganization discussed in Note 12, Stockholders’ Equity, the interests in Opco were consolidated and as such Opco is no longer treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes effective December 29, 2025.

The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the loss allocated to noncontrolling interest that is not taxed to the Company, impacts from the Reorganization and changes to the Company’s valuation allowance. While Opco incurred a net loss before income taxes of $97.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, only $72.4 million was allocated to Bakkt Inc. The remaining $25.0 million is benefited for tax purposes by members outside of the reporting group. The tax benefit of $49.0 thousand relates to current state and foreign tax since the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance that offsets the tax benefit of its losses.

The following summarizes the significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities (in thousands):


	December 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Deferred tax assets:
Investment in partnership	$	—	$	124,810
Net operating loss carryforwards	49,665		33,638
Deferred and share-based compensation	10,384		2,607
Warrant liability	5,304		—
Intangible assets and Goodwill	108,123		—
Other	5,899		541
Total deferred tax assets	179,375		161,596
Less: valuation allowance	(177,609)		(152,453)
Net deferred tax assets	1,766		9,143
Deferred tax liabilities:
Intercompany asset with Opco	—		9,143
Other	1,766		—
Total deferred tax liabilities	1,766		9,143
Net deferred tax assets (liabilities)	$	—	$	—

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The table above includes deferred income taxes from businesses held for sale.

Since Opco is no longer treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes at December 31, 2025, the Investment in Partnership no longer exists and therefore, the deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with the Company’s assets and liabilities are presented above.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realizability of the deferred tax assets, in each jurisdiction, is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income sufficient to utilize the deferred tax assets on income tax returns, including the reversal of existing temporary differences, historical and projected operating results and tax planning strategies. Management assessed that certain of the Company’s deferred tax assets were not more likely than not to be realized. As such. the Company had a valuation allowance of $177.6 million and $152.5 million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The $25.1 million of increase in the valuation allowance during the year was primarily related to the generation of net operating losses that are not expected to be realized.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had gross federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of $199.3 million, all of which can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company also had state NOLs of $132.8 million which begin to expire in 2031. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had gross federal NOL carryforwards of $122.7 million, all of which can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company had capital loss carryforwards of $3.0 million which will expire in 2028 and tax credits of $0.5 million that begin to expire in 2031.

The Company and its affiliates file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for tax year ended 2022 which began in April 2025. The Company has responded to initial request from the IRS. While the Company does not anticipate any material tax adjustments from the examination, it could impact the Company’s income tax positions and related disclosures. The Company is open to examination for federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions with varying statues, ranging generally from three to five years.

The Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company has elected to recognize the tax expense related to GILTI as a period cost in the period incurred.

The effects of uncertain tax positions are recognized in the consolidated financial statements if these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. For those uncertain tax positions that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements, liabilities are established to reflect the portion of those positions where the Company cannot conclude “more-likely-than-not” to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits or related interest and penalties accrued as of both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Company did not make any income tax payments net of refunds during the year ended December 31, 2025.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was signed into law by President Trump. Key provisions of the OBBBA include the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, the immediate expensing of domestic research and experimentation expenditures, and modifications to the limitation on business interest deductions. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in order to conform to current presentation.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals), considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The historical financial information is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

On April 29, 2024, following approval by the Company’s stockholders and Board of Directors (the “Board”), Bakkt management effected a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and Class V Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class V Common Stock” and collectively with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1-for-25 (the “Reverse Stock Split Ratio”). Bakkt’s Class A Common Stock began trading on a reverse-split adjusted basis on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) as of the open of trading on April 29, 2024. All outstanding warrants and share-based awards were also adjusted on a 1-for-25 basis. As such, the Reverse Stock Split has been retroactively applied to all share and per share information throughout this Form 10-K (unless otherwise noted).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Bakkt management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and various judgments that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The significant estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements may include, but are not limited to, those that are related to going concern, income tax valuation allowances, useful lives and fair value of intangible assets and property, equipment and software, fair value of financial assets and liabilities, determining provision for doubtful accounts, valuation of acquired tangible and intangible assets, the impairment of intangible and long-lived assets and goodwill, and fair market value of stock-based awards. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions and such differences may be material to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

Change in Accounting Principle

Safeguarding Obligation for Crypto

On January 23, 2025, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 122 (“SAB 122”), which was officially entered into the federal register January 30, 2025. SAB 122 rescinds the previously issued SEC staff interpretative guidance in SAB No. 121 related to accounting for obligations to safeguard crypto assets that an entity holds for its platform users. SAB 122 indicates that an entity that has an obligation to safeguard crypto assets for others should determine whether it should recognize a liability for a risk of loss for such obligation and should recognize and measure any such liability in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 450-20, Loss Contingencies. The Company elected to adopt SAB 122 as of December 31, 2024, on a retrospective basis in accordance with SAB 122. As a result of the adoption of SAB 122, the Company derecognized the Safeguarding obligation for crypto and Safeguarding asset for crypto previously recognized in the consolidated financial statements. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the periods presented have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect this change, with no impact on revenues, operating loss, net loss, net loss per share, or any components of equity or net assets.

Discontinued Operations

On July 23, 2025, Bakkt Opco Holdings, LLC (“Opco”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement to sell all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Bridge2 Solutions, LLC, Aspire Loyalty Travel Solutions, LLC, Bridge2 Solutions Canada, Ltd., and B2S Resale, LLC (collectively, the “Acquired Companies”) to Project Labrador Holdco, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Roman DBDR Technology Advisors, Inc. (the “Purchaser” or "Roman"). These entities comprised the Company’s loyalty and travel redemption business (the “Loyalty Business”), and the transaction was a part of the Company’s strategic transformation into a pure-play digital asset infrastructure platform. The sale transaction closed on October 1, 2025.

Bakkt management determined that the Loyalty Business met the criteria for classification as held for sale and a discontinued operation as of September 30, 2025. This determination was based on management’s commitment to a formal plan to sell the business, the significance of the business to the Company's historical operations, and the expectation that the sale represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, and would result in the elimination of the operations and cash flows of the Loyalty Business from ongoing operations. As such, the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the Loyalty Business have been reclassified and are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented, where applicable. Assets and liabilities related to the Loyalty Business have been reclassified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets, and the related operating results, including any gains or losses on the sale, are reported separately from continuing operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Refer to Note 3, Discontinued Operations, for additional details.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This presentation contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described below.

At each reporting period, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Bakkt management evaluates whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the initial evaluation can only include management’s plans that have been fully implemented as of the issuance date. Operating forecasts for new products/markets cannot be considered in the initial evaluation as those product/market launches have not been fully implemented.

Accordingly, management’s evaluation entails analyzing prospective fully implemented operating budgets and forecasts for expectations of the Company’s cash needs and comparing those needs to the current cash and cash equivalent balances. This evaluation initially does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists under this methodology, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued.

Evaluation in conjunction with the issuance of the December 31, 2025 audited consolidated financial statements

Since inception, the Company has consumed cash in excess of cash inflows from operations and fundraising. The Company’s accumulated deficit totaled $905.2 million as of December 31, 2025. Due to these ongoing losses, the Company has been executing a strategic plan to optimize capital allocation and reduce cash expenses since the fourth quarter of 2022.

Significantly expanding Bakkt’s revenue base is critical to the Company’s strategic plan to be able to generate a sustainable operating profit. There is significant uncertainty associated with Bakkt’s projected cash flows in the Company’s going concern analysis primarily related to the revenue growth rates for its expansion to new products, as well as the growth of its revenue base, given the uncertain and rapidly evolving environment associated with digital assets. In forecasting the Company’s expectation of cash needs for the initial going concern evaluation, the Crypto services revenue growth projections exclude activation of new clients or products currently not live on Bakkt’s platform as of the date of release of these audited consolidated financial statements.

Historically, the Company’s sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities and equity offerings. As discussed in Note 12, Stockholders’ Equity, on July 30, 2025, the Company raised $75.0 million of gross proceeds prior to underwriting fees and expenses from an offering of common stock and pre-funded warrants. Refer to Note 21, Subsequent Events, herein for additional details related to capital transactions.

Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities, inclusive of net proceeds from the common stock and prefunded warrant issuance will be sufficient to fund Bakkt’s operations for 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued.

Segments

The Company has one operating and reportable segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is Bakkt’s Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. During the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, all material operations are within the United States. The Company’s chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance based upon financial information at the consolidated level. Refer to Note 20, Segment Reporting, for more information.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Bakkt classifies rights to consideration in exchange for services or goods as accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are rights to consideration that are unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment is due). “Accounts receivable, net” includes billed and contract assets (i.e., unbilled receivables), net of an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts. Management calculates the allowance using the current expected credit loss model. The allowance is based upon historical loss patterns, the number of days that billings are past due and, an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with delinquent accounts and incorporates the use of forward-looking information over the

contractual term of the Company’s accounts receivable. Receivables are written-off and charged against the recorded allowance when the Company has exhausted collection efforts without success. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for estimated credit losses is immaterial.

Acquisition-Related Expenses

The Company incurs incremental costs relating to acquisitions and other strategic opportunities. This includes fees for investment banking advisors, lawyers, accountants, tax advisors and public relations firms, as well as other external costs directly related to the proposed or closed transactions. See Note 5, Business Combination and Acquisition, for additional information related to acquisition-related expenses.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition accounting method, which requires it to determine the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including any contingent consideration, to properly allocate the purchase price to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed and record any residual purchase price as goodwill in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Bakkt management identifies and attributes fair values and estimated lives to the intangible assets acquired and allocates the total cost of an acquisition to the underlying net assets based on their respective estimated fair values. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment and involves the use of significant estimates, including projections of future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates and asset lives. These determinations will affect the amount of amortization expense recognized in future periods. Management bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes are reasonable but recognize that the assumptions are inherently uncertain.

For business combinations effected through a common control transaction, management measures the recognized net assets of the acquired business at the carrying amounts of the net assets previously recognized by the related party. The Company reflects the operations of entities acquired through a common control transaction in its financial statements as of the first date in the reporting period or as of the date that the entity was acquired by the related party, as applicable.

For business combinations including contingent consideration, management evaluates the contractual terms to determine whether the contingency should be classified as liability or equity. For liability classified contingent consideration, management evaluates the fair value of the contingent consideration each reporting period, and records changes in the fair value through income.

If the initial accounting for the business combination has not been completed by the end of the reporting period in which the business combination occurs, provisional amounts are reported to present information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Once the measurement period ends, which in no case extends beyond one year from the acquisition date, revisions to the accounting for the business combination are recorded in earnings.

All acquisition-related costs, other than the costs to issue debt or equity securities, are accounted for as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Bakkt considers all short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities from the purchase date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Deposits held with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured institutions are insured up to $250 thousand per depositor, per institution. At times, the Company’s cash balance may exceed these insured limits. Management monitors the financial condition of the institutions holding these deposits and believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk. The Company had $0.2 million and $15.0 million invested in money market funds as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of which $— and $11.4 million, respectively, was reported as restricted cash.

The Company classifies all cash and cash equivalents that are not available for immediate or general business use as restricted. Restricted cash includes amounts set aside due to regulatory requirements or insurance collateral. Refer to Note 15, Capital Requirements, for additional information.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits expense primarily consists of salaries and wages, bonuses, contract labor fees, share-based compensation, unit-based compensation, payroll taxes and benefits associated with the compensation of the Company’s employees, excluding share-based and unit-based compensation included in “Restructuring expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable, including unbilled accounts receivable. The associated risk of concentration for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash is mitigated by banking with creditworthy institutions. At certain times, amounts on deposit exceed limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Bakkt has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.

Refer to Note 20, Segment Reporting, for additional information on customer concentration.

Convertible Debentures

On June 18, 2025, the Company issued a $25.0 million convertible debenture that was classified as a liability in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The debenture was convertible into shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder. Because the conversion option did not require separate accounting, the liability was initially measured at the proceeds received, and the convertible debenture was reported at amortized cost each reporting period. The original discount on the debenture and issuance costs were being amortized to interest expense over the term of the debenture using the effective interest method. On September 15, 2025, the Company exercised its right to redeem the remaining outstanding balance of the convertible debenture in cash, which resulted in the acceleration of the remaining original discount and issuance costs of the debenture, which were recognized as a loss on the extinguishment of debt.

Customer Funds and Customer Funds Payable

Customer funds represents fiat currency deposited in bank accounts segregated from corporate funds. In accordance with state money transmitter laws, the Company may invest customer cash deposits in certain permissible investments. As of December 31, 2025, Bakkt had not made any such investments. The Company classifies the assets as current since they are readily available for customer use with a corresponding current customer funds payable liability.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue includes amounts invoiced and collected prior to the Company meeting the criteria for revenue recognition. Bakkt invoices customers for service fees at the time the service is performed, and such fees are recognized as revenue over time as the Company satisfies its performance obligation. The portion of deferred revenue to be recognized in the succeeding twelve-month period is recorded as “Deferred revenue, current” on the consolidated balance sheets, and the remaining portion is recorded as “Deferred revenue, noncurrent” on the consolidated balance sheets. Management has determined that these arrangements do not contain a significant financing component, and therefore the transaction price is not adjusted.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Derivative assets and liabilities are recorded on the Company`s consolidated balance sheets at their fair value on the date of issuance and are revalued on each balance sheet date until such instruments are settled or expire, with changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded as other income or expense within Other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes or to hedge exposures to cash flow or market risks. Certain transactions entered into by the Company include freestanding financial instruments and/or embedded features that require separate accounting as derivative assets and/or liabilities.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible.

Equity Method Investment

The Company accounts for investments under the equity method of accounting when it is deemed to have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investees' operating and financial policies through its ownership interest, but does not control the investee. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of the investee's net income or loss, as well as other changes in the investee's net assets, including dividends received and foreign currency translation adjustments, where applicable. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. Any identified impairment losses are recognized in the period in which the decline in value is deemed other-than-temporary.

Based on circumstances related to the timing of investee's reporting financial results, Bakkt has elected to report its share of investee income or loss on a quarter lag.

Fair Value Measurements

Bakkt accounts for financial assets and liabilities that are recognized and/or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, management considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact, and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable and proscribes the following fair value hierarchy in determining fair values:

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data such as interest rates or yield curves.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s view about the assumptions that market participants would use in measuring the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are accounted for in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management allocates the cost of an acquired entity to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the acquisition consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including other intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, and Bakkt is organized and operate as a single reporting unit. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested at least annually or more frequently when events or circumstances occur that indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred. The Company’s annual testing date is October 1st of each year. In assessing goodwill and intangible assets for impairment, management first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. In the qualitative assessment, management may consider factors such as economic conditions, industry and market conditions and developments, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. Should management conclude that it is more likely than not that the recorded goodwill and intangible assets amounts have been impaired, management would perform the quantitative impairment test. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings if the estimated fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite lived intangible asset is less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit or intangible asset. Significant judgment is applied when goodwill and intangible assets are assessed for impairment.

Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are also reviewed at least annually for impairment or more frequently if conditions exist that indicate that an asset may be impaired.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The period of depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets is evaluated to determine whether events or circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. When indicators of impairment are present, the recoverability of our long-lived assets is determined by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the total amount of undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows demonstrate the long-lived assets are not recoverable, an impairment loss would be calculated based on the excess of the carrying amounts of the long-lived assets over their fair value.

Income Taxes

Bakkt accounts for deferred federal and state income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for the future tax benefits attributable to the expected utilization of existing tax net operating loss carryforwards and other types of carryforwards. If the future utilization of some portion of deferred taxes is determined to be unlikely, a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the recorded tax benefits from such assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In the event interest or penalties are incurred with respect to income tax matters, the Company’s policy is to include such items in income tax expense. Bakkt records deferred tax assets and liabilities on a net basis on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in Income tax (expense) benefit in the consolidated statements of operations.

Leases

Management considers a lease to have commenced on the date when the Company is granted access to the leased asset. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease and whether it is classified as finance or operating at the inception of the contract. Bakkt recognize the lease at its commencement date on the balance sheet as a liability for its obligation related to the lease and a corresponding asset representing its right-of-use use of the underlying asset over the period of use. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and the lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The lease liability for each lease is recognized as the present value of the lease payments not yet paid at the commencement date. The right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for each lease is recorded at the amount equal to the initial measurement of lease liability, adjusted for balances of prepaid rent, lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred.

When determining lease term, management considers renewal options that are reasonably certain to exercise and termination options that are reasonably certain to not be exercised, in addition to the non-cancellable lease term.

For operating leases, expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded within Selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations. For finance leases, interest on lease liability is recognized using the effective interest method, while the ROU asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the ROU asset or the lease term. Interest on lease liability is recorded within Interest income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations, and amortization of right-of-use assets is recorded within Depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations.

Certain of the Company's real estate leasing agreements include terms requiring it to reimburse the lessor for the Company's share of real estate taxes, insurance, operating costs and utilities which the Company accounts for as variable lease costs when incurred since the Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components, and hence are not included in the measurement of lease liability.

The discount rates for all of the Company's leases are based on its estimated incremental borrowing rate since the rates implicit in the leases were not determinable. The Company's incremental borrowing rate is based on Bakkt management’s estimate of the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow on a fully collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

The Company has elected the practical expedient under which lease components are not separated from the non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets. Accordingly, each lease component and the non-lease components related to the lease component are accounted for as a single lease component.

Noncontrolling Interest

Prior to November 3, 2025, Bakkt was the sole managing member of Bakkt Opco Holdings, LLC (“Opco”) and its operating subsidiaries and, as a result, consolidated the financial results of Opco. The Company reported a noncontrolling interest representing the portion of Opco that it controlled and consolidated but did not own. Bakkt recognized each noncontrolling holder’s respective share of the estimated fair value of the net assets at the date of formation or acquisition. Noncontrolling interest was subsequently adjusted by the noncontrolling holders’ share of additional contributions, distributions and their share of the net earnings or losses of each respective consolidated entity. The Company allocated net income or loss to noncontrolling interest based on the weighted average ownership interest during the period. The net income or loss that was not attributable to the Company was reflected in Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of operations. Each Opco Common Unit, when coupled with one share of the Company’s Class V common stock was referred to as a “Paired Interest.” When Paired Interests were exchanged, the Company received a corresponding number of Opco Common Units, increasing the Company’s total ownership interest in Opco. Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in Opco while it retained a controlling interest in Opco was accounted for as equity

transactions. As such, redemptions or direct exchanges of Opco Common Units by the noncontrolling members of Opco resulted in a change in ownership and reduced the amount recorded as noncontrolling interest and increased additional paid-in capital.

On November 3, 2025, the Company completed the “Reorganization. As part of the Reorganization, Bakkt formed a new holding company that replaced the Company as a listed parent company, and transitioned to a single class of common stock. The noncontrolling interest ceased to exist as of the Reorganization.

Professional Services

Professional services expenses consist of costs associated with audit, tax, legal and other professional services and are recognized as incurred.

Property, Equipment and Software, Net

Property, equipment and software are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.

Costs related to software the Company develops or obtains for internal use are included in Property, equipment and software, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Costs incurred during the preliminary or maintenance development stage are expensed, and costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and are amortized over the useful life of the software.

Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of assets:

Internal use software

3-7 years

Purchased software

3 years

Other computer and network equipment

3 years

Restructuring Expenses

The Company groups restructuring obligations into four categories: involuntary employee termination benefits, contractual employee termination benefits, costs to terminate contracts, and other associated costs. Involuntary employee termination benefits include cash and non-cash compensation and is recognized as incurred upon communication of the plan to the identified employees. Contractual employee termination benefits include cash and non-cash compensation owed to an employee pursuant to their individual employment agreements. Cash termination benefits are recorded at the employee notice date, while non-cash compensation is recorded over any remaining service term. Costs to terminate contracts are recognized upon termination agreement with the provider. Other associated restructuring costs are expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

Bakkt recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Crypto Services

Crypto services revenues are derived from crypto trading and custody services.

Trading: BFS offers customers the ability to purchase or sell certain crypto on its platform. BFS partners with a number of liquidity providers to provide customers with immediate liquidity and access to crypto. BFS settles with the liquidity partners on a daily basis. The contract with a customer is created when a customer agrees to execute a trade on the

Company’s platform. Each customer purchase and sale transaction only includes a single performance obligation which is execution of the trade. The Company considers the sale of customer crypto associated with delisted crypto to be revenue in the context of its contracts with customers. BFS reports the gross proceeds of a sale to a customer or liquidity provider, including a spread on the market price of the crypto as revenue. Substantially all of the consideration is allocated to the execution performance obligation, which is satisfied when the Company records the transaction to the customer’s account. Custody services are rendered over the initial contract term which the Company has concluded is one day.

Judgment is required in determining whether the Company is the principal or the agent in its contracts with customers. The Company has determined that it is the principal in transactions with customers as it controls the crypto during the period of time between the customer transaction and the liquidity provider settlement and its is primarily responsible for the delivery of the crypto to the customer. Accordingly, revenue associated with BFS’s services is presented gross in Crypto services revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and the cost basis of acquired cryptocurrency associated with BFS’s services are presented gross in Crypto costs in the consolidated statements of operations.

Where applicable, the Company makes payments to introducing brokers based on the transaction volume from resulting customer volume. These payments are expensed in the period they are incurred and are included in Clearing, Execution and Brokerage Fees on the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company maintains an inventory of digital assets to facilitate consumer transactions if needed and may adjust its inventory levels under its inventory policy. Sales of digital assets resulting from inventory adjustments are not part of the normal course of business. Accordingly, proceeds from the sale of digital assets outside of the normal course of business are included in Other income, net, net of the cost of crypto sold, in the consolidated statements of operations.

Custody: For customers that used Bakkt Trust’s custody services on a standalone basis, the Company charged a fee, which was generally based on a fixed fee and represented fixed consideration. The Company invoiced customers on a quarterly basis. Bakkt Trust’s performance obligation related to the storage and custody of a customer’s crypto represented an obligation to provide custody services for crypto. The contract for custodial services could be terminated by the applicable institution or high net worth individual at any time upon final withdrawal of all crypto, without incurring a penalty. As a result, the Company believed its contracts represented day-to-day contracts with each day representing a renewal. The daily contract consisted of a single performance obligation to provide custodial services, with the transaction price equal to a pro rata portion (i.e., daily) of the annual custody fee. The Company’s performance obligation to provide custodial services met the criterion to be satisfied over time. Revenue from custodial services is included in Crypto services revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue from custody services is included in Subscription and services revenue in the disaggregation of revenue by service type table within Note 4, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Practical expedients

The Company elected the following practical expedients under U.S. GAAP:

•Excluding sales taxes from the measurement of the transaction price;

•Not adjusting the transaction price for the existence of a significant financing component if the timing difference between a customer’s payment and the Company’s performance is one year or less; and

•Not providing disclosures about the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with a duration of one year or less or when the consideration is variable and allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation.

Additionally, the Company elected the practical expedient under U.S. GAAP to not capitalize incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer if the amortization period is one year or less.

Refer to Note 4, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for additional disclosures related to the recognition of revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs associated with advertising, marketing, insurance and rent. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023 were $0.6 million, $2.5 million, and $4.5 million, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation expense relates to restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”) and stock options (collectively the “Equity Awards”) granted or outstanding during the period. The Company’s Equity Awards are measured at fair value on the date of grant and recognized as expense in Compensation and benefits in the statements of operations over the requisite service period. Expense is recognized on a straight-line basis for awards that vest based solely on a service condition. In addition to a service condition, PSUs provide an opportunity to receive shares based on market conditions or the Company’s performance as measured against objective performance goals. The Company records compensation expense for PSUs on an accelerated attribution basis, and for performance condition awards, based on its assessment of the probable outcome of the performance conditions at each reporting period. The fair value of RSUs and PSUs is determined as the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. Management engaged a third-party valuation firm to estimate the fair value of the stock options. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. See Note 13, Share-Based and Unit-Based Compensation, for additional information about share-based compensation.

Technology and Communication

Technology and communication expenses include costs incurred in operating and maintaining the Company’s digital asset platform, including software licenses, software maintenance and support, hosting and infrastructure costs.

Translation of Foreign Currencies and Foreign Currency Transactions

The Company’s foreign subsidiaries’ functional currencies are their respective local currencies. The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average monthly rates. Translation adjustments are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets and reflected as Currency translation adjustment, net of tax in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate in effect at the balance sheet date, with subsequent changes in exchange rates resulting in transaction gains or losses, which are included in Other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates and revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during each reporting period.

Unit-Based Compensation

Unit-based compensation expense related to the replacement incentive units and phantom units (“participation” units) granted prior to the business combination that led to the Company becoming a public company on October 15, 2021, that were issued to employees as purchase consideration. The replacement incentive units and participation units were measured at fair value on the closing date of the business combination, and the Company recognized expense in Compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss over the requisite service period. Additionally, the Company recognized variable compensation expense for participation units, which historically had been classified as liabilities, based on changes to the fair value of the awards at each reporting date. The Company

elected to account for forfeitures as they occurred. See Note 13, Share-Based and Unit-Based Compensation, for additional disclosures related to unit-based compensation.

Warrant Accounting

Bakkt accounts for our Class A common stock warrants in accordance with applicable accounting guidance under U.S. GAAP, as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. The Company classifies as equity any equity-linked contracts that (1) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (2) give it a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). Bakkt classifies as assets or liabilities any equity-linked contracts that (1) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net-cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside its control) or (2) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). All public and private placement warrants issued by Bakkt were deemed to qualify for liability classification and were therefore recorded at fair value at grant date and are re-measured to fair value at each reporting date. See Note 11, Warrants, for additional information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity ("ASU 2020-06"). This ASU simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating certain separation models and improves the consistency of earnings per share calculations by requiring the use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. It also enhances disclosures about the terms of convertible instruments and contract in an entity's own equity. ASU 2020-06 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those years. In connection with the Convertible debenture issued in June 2025, the Company was subject to and adopted ASU 2020-06. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires additional tax disclosures, predominantly related to the effective income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning in fiscal 2025. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2023-09 impacted the Company’s income tax disclosures but did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2025. Refer to Note 17, Income Taxes, for impacts to the related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Topic 350-60), Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”), which requires entities measure assets that meet the scope criteria at fair value with changes recognized in net income each reporting period. ASU 2023-08 also requires enhanced disclosures for interim and annual periods. The ASU was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those years. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of interim disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and includes a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the reporting entity. The ASU also clarifies the applicability of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270, types of interim reporting, and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The amendments are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU replaces the existing project-stage model with a principles-based "probable-to-complete" capitalization threshold and relocates website-development cost into ASC 350-40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Internal-Use Software. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The ASU provides a practical expedient when developing reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating credit losses that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those periods, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure of additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Bakkt management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Commitments and Contingencies

401(k) Plan

The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering all eligible U.S. employees. Both Company and employee contributions to the 401(k) plan are discretionary. For the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, Bakkt recorded $1.4 million and $0.8 million, and $1.0 million respectively, of expenses related to the 401(k) plan, which is included in Compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations.

Litigation

On December 15, 2025, the Company filed a complaint in Delaware state court against Project Labrador Holdco, LLC (“Roman”) in connection with the closing of Roman’s acquisition of the Company’s Loyalty business. On February 6, 2026, the Company amended its complaint following additional amounts becoming due. The Company is seeking approximately $10.0 million and attorneys’ fees in connection with breaches of the Loyalty business purchase agreement.

On April 2, 2025, a putative class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain current and former officers. The complaint alleges that the Company made false or misleading statements and omissions of purportedly material fact, in violation of federal securities laws, in connection with disclosures relating to the non-renewal of the Company’s agreements with Webull and Bank of America N.A. ("Bank of America"). The complaint seeks damages, as well as fees and costs. The Company intends to defend the matter vigorously; however, it is refraining from expressing any judgment upon the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome in this matter given the early stage of the litigation. On September 15, 2025, plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On November 14, 2025, the Company filed a motion seeking dismissal of all claims.

On June 6, 2025, a verified stockholder derivative complaint captioned Kaivani v. Alexander, et. al., No. 25- cv-03196-MLB was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against the Company and various officers and directors. The complaint asserted various claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and pursuant to Sections 10(b), 20(a), and 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against defendants. The claims were premised on the same allegations as the federal securities litigation described above. On June 27, 2025, plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice in this action.

On July 14, 2025, July 16, 2025, and July 18, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors received demand letters from three shareholders (including Mr. Kaivani, who filed and withdrew the federal derivative litigation described above) (collectively, the “Demands”). These Demands are premised on the same alleged misconduct as the federal securities litigation described above, and seek (i) an internal investigation, (ii) a civil action, if applicable, and (iii) various Board actions in connection with the alleged misconduct. Defendants have asked these shareholders to pause the Board’s consideration of these Demands until resolution of Defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss the federal securities litigation; to date, two of the three shareholders have so agreed.

Other legal and regulatory proceedings have arisen and may arise in the ordinary course of business. However, management does not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, future results could be materially and adversely affected by new developments relating to the legal proceedings and claims.

Cryptocurrency Held on Platform

The Company is obligated to securely store digital assets that it holds for customers, a substantial portion of which are held in cold storage. As such, the Company may be liable to users of its platform for losses arising from the Company’s failure to secure digital assets from theft or loss. The Company has not incurred any losses related to such an obligation and therefore has not accrued a liability for losses as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company has no reason to believe it will incur any expense associated with such potential liability because (i) it has no known or historical experience of claims to use as a basis of measurement, (ii) it accounts for and continually verifies the amount of digital assets within its control, and (iii) it has established security around custodial product private keys to minimize the risk of theft or loss.

Purchase Obligations

In December 2021, the Company entered into a four-year cloud computing arrangement which includes minimum contractual payments due to the third-party provider. In December 2023, the Company agreed to amend the contract and extend the payment period for an additional year. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s outstanding purchase obligations consist of the following future minimum commitments (in thousands):

	Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years		Total
Purchase obligations	$	4,050	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	4,050

Cooperation Agreement

On March 19, 2025, the Company entered into a Cooperation Agreement with Distributed Technologies Research Global Ltd. (“DTR”) and Mr. Naheta, the sole stockholder of DTR (the “Cooperation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, DTR will provide the Company with certain exclusive payment processing technology, application programming interfaces, and infrastructure to be integrated into the Company’s platform for the enablement of global payments processing services in the jurisdictions where the Company or its affiliates operate. Refer to Note 21, Subsequent Events, for details related to transactions with DTR impacting the Cooperation Agreement.

The Company accounts for cryptocurrency it owns as indefinite-lived intangible assets and initially measures such crypto assets at cost (under a first-in, first-out basis). These assets are not amortized, but are measured at fair value each reporting period with changes recognized in net income (loss). Bakkt generally holds a nominal amount of each crypto asset it supports on its platform to facilitate trades and settlements, if necessary. The crypto assets are reported in Other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and fair value changes are recognized in other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company's owned crypto assets are typically liquidated on a daily basis during the fulfillment of customer orders and settlement with liquidity providers. Fair value changes were not material for the year ended December 31, 2025. Bakkt's owned crypto assets were $1.2 million as of both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively and are included in Other in the table above.

Tax Receivable Agreement	Dec. 31, 2025
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Tax Receivable Agreement	Tax Receivable Agreement On October 15, 2021, Bakkt entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with certain Opco equity holders. Each Opco common unit, when coupled with one share of the Company’s Class V common stock was referred to as a “Paired Interest.” Pursuant to the TRA, among other things, holders of Opco common units could, subject to certain conditions, from and after April 16, 2022, exchange Paired Interests for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to the terms of an Exchange Agreement between the parties, including Bakkt’s right to elect to deliver cash in lieu of Class A common stock and, in certain cases, adjustments as set forth therein. Opco in effect had an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code for each taxable year in which an exchange of Opco common units for Class A common stock (or cash) occurred. The exchanges were expected to result in increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Opco. These increases in tax basis could potentially reduce the amount of tax that Bakkt would otherwise be required to pay in the future. These increases in tax basis could potentially also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis was allocated to those capital assets. The TRA provided for the payment by Bakkt to exchanging holders of Opco common units of 85% of certain net income tax benefits, if any, that the Company realize (or in certain cases was deemed to realize) as a result of these increases in tax basis related to entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA. This payment obligation is an obligation of the Company and not of Opco. For purposes of the TRA, the cash tax savings in income tax is computed by comparing the Company’s actual income tax liability (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that Bakkt would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of Opco as a result of Opco having an election in effect under Section 754 of the Code for each taxable year in which an exchange of Opco common units for Class A common stock occurred and had Bakkt not entered into the TRA. Such change is calculated under the TRA without regard to any transfers of Opco common units or distributions with respect to such Opco common units before the exchange under the Exchange Agreement to which Section 743(b) or 734(b) of the Code applies. Prior to the Reorganization on November 3, 2025, 1,063,576 Opco common units were exchanged for Class A common stock. In connection with the Reorganization, Bakkt, ICE and Mr. Naheta entered into an amendment (the “TRA Amendment”) to the TRA, dated as of October 15, 2021, by and among the Company and the persons named therein, as well as a Contribution Agreement relating to their respective rights under the TRA (as amended, the “Contribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the TRA Amendment and the Contribution Agreement, ICE and Mr. Naheta agreed that they would, at closing, (i) contribute their rights under the TRA to the Company in exchange for a cash payment from the Company equal to the respective amount to which ICE and Mr. Naheta would otherwise be entitled under the TRA (as amended), (ii) Mr. Naheta would further contribute such cash payable to Mr. Naheta to the Company in exchange for shares of the Company Class A Common Stock, and (iii) ICE would further contribute such cash payable to ICE to the Company in exchange for shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) of the Company, each convertible into one share of the Company Class A Common Stock (such conversion being conditional upon the expiry or termination of the waiting period (and any extension thereof, including pursuant to any timing agreement) applicable to it under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”)), and further agreed that the respective obligations of ICE and Mr. Naheta, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, to transfer the foregoing cash amounts will be net-settled and offset against one another. In addition, the TRA Amendment set the discount rate to be used in calculating TRA payments to TRA holders at 18%, calculated as of the date of consummation of the Reorganization, except that for ICE and Mr. Naheta only, the value of the TRA payment was capped at the value of such payment calculated as of the date of the TRA Amendment. At the completion of the Reorganization, the Company issued 465,890 and 69,733 shares of the Company Class A Common Stock to ICE and Mr. Naheta, respectively. Total expense for the TRA settlement was $26.9 million, recorded in operating expenses within the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. The payments to TRA holders other than ICE and Mr. Naheta are $5.7 million; approximately $0.6 million remained to be paid under the TRA settlement as of December 31, 2025.

Warrants	Warrants As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 7,140,483 and 7,140,483 warrants, respectively to purchase Class A Common Stock (“Public Warrants”) outstanding, respectively. The Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of a Public Warrant. Holders of the Public Warrants can exercise 25 Public Warrants to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $287.50 per share. The Public Warrants became exercisable on November 15, 2021. The public warrants will expire on October 15, 2026, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Bakkt may redeem the outstanding warrants when various conditions are met, such as specific stock prices, as detailed in the specific warrant agreements. The warrants are recorded as a liability and reflected as Warrant liability in the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued four shares of Class A common stock in exchange for the exercise of Public Warrants and received an immaterial amount in proceeds from the exercise of the Public Warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2024, Bakkt issued 301 shares of Class A common stock in exchange for the exercise of Public Warrants and received an immaterial amount in proceeds from the exercise of the Public Warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not issue any shares of Class A common stock in exchange for the exercise of Public Warrants, nor did it receive any proceeds from the exercise of Public Warrants. The Company recognized a gain from the change in fair value of the warrant liability during the year ended December 31, 2025 of $3.0 million. Bakkt recognized a loss from the change in fair value of the warrant liability during the year ended December 31, 2024 of $1.8 million. The Company recognized a gain from the change in fair value of the warrant liability during the year ended December 31, 2023 of $1.6 million. The changes in fair value of the warrant liability is reflected in Gain (loss) from change in fair value of warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations. In connection with the Concurrent Offerings (Note 12, Stockholders’ Equity), Bakkt issued and sold to the Third-Party Purchasers (as defined below) an aggregate of 1,396,701 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, including 196,701 shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon exercise of certain of the Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined below) prior to the Third-Party Closing, Class 1 Warrants (“Class 1 Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 922,722 shares of Class A Common Stock, Class 2 Warrants (“Class 2 Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 922,722 shares of Class A Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 448,742 shares of Class A Common Stock. Concurrently, under the terms of the ICE Offering (as defined below) the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “ICE Purchase Agreement” and, together with the Third-Party Purchase Agreement, the “Purchase Agreements”) with ICE, pursuant to which Bakkt issued and sold to ICE an aggregate of 461,361 shares of Class A Common Stock, Class 1 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 230,680 shares of Class A Common Stock, and Class 2 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 230,680 shares of Class A Common Stock. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the ICE Purchase Agreement occurred on March 4, 2024 and April 25, 2024. The Class 1 Warrants and Class 2 Warrants each have an exercise price of $25.50 and have a five-and-a-half year term. The Class 1 Warrants and Class 2 Warrants may each be exercised at any time after the six month anniversary of the relevant closing. The Class 2 warrant agreement contains an alternative exercise clause that entitles the holder to exchange two warrants for a share of stock if certain conditions are met. The Class 1 Warrants and Class 2 Warrants issued in the Concurrent Offerings were initially recorded as a liability at fair value and reflected as Warrant liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The warrants issued on April 25, 2024 were valued at $2.6 million using the Black-Scholes-Merton model for Class 1 Warrants and a binomial lattice model for the Class 2 Warrants. Prior to the second quarter of 2024, Bakkt used a Monte Carlo simulation to measure the fair value of the Class 2 Warrants. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company adopted a binomial lattice model as the valuation technique as management believes it provides a more accurate and relevant measure of the fair value of the Class 2 Warrants. The Class 1 Warrants and Class 2 Warrants issued on March 4, 2024 were valued at $27.7 million using the Black-Scholes-Merton model for Class 1 Warrants and a Monte Carlo simulation for the Class 2 Warrants. No Class 1 and Class 2 warrants were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2024, Class 1 and Class 2 warrants exercisable for 288,950 shares of Class A Common Stock were exercised, with substantially all under an alternate cashless exercise, resulting in Bakkt issuing 144,675 shares of Class A Common Stock. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Class 1 Warrants and Class 2 Warrants exercisable for 2,017,850 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding. The Company recognized a gain from the change in fair value of the warrant liability associated with the Class 1 Warrants and Class 2 Warrants during the year ended December 31, 2025 of $27.2 million. Bakkt recognized a loss from the change in fair value of the warrant liability associated with the Class 1 Warrants and Class 2 Warrants during the year ended December 31, 2024 of $15.4 million. The change in fair value of the Class 1 and Class 2 warrants is reflected in Gain (loss) from change in fair value of warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2024, holders exercised all of the Pre-Funded Warrants. The proceeds received from the exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants were immaterial. As discussed further in Note 12, Stockholders’ Equity, in connection with the Underwriting Agreement entered into on July 28, 2025, the Company issued pre-funded warrants (the “2025 Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 746,373 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants were issued as part of the Company’s public offering of Class A common stock and were sold at a price of $9.9999 per warrant, representing the $10.00 per share public offering price less the $0.0001 per share exercise price. Each Pre-Funded Warrant was exercisable at any time after the date of issuance until exercised in full, subject to certain ownership limitations. During 2025, 746,373 pre-funded warrants were exercised for 743,362 shares.

Capital Requirements	Dec. 31, 2025
Financial Services, Banking and Thrift [Abstract]
Capital Requirements	Capital Requirements BFS holds a BitLicense from New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYDFS”) , which subjects it to NYDFS’s oversight with respect to business activities conducted in New York State and with New York residents, and is required to maintain a capital balance equal to the greater of a predefined minimum amount or the sum of the required percentages established for transmitted assets, cold wallet and hot wallet custody assets, and predefined wind-down costs, or expected costs associated with the orderly wind-down of the business. BFS also has money transmitter licenses wherever its business model requires (46 states plus Washington D.C., giving effect to the surrender of duplicative and unneeded licenses following the merger of Bakkt Crypto Solutions, LLC and Bakkt Marketplace, LLC discussed below) which require it to maintain a minimum tangible net worth. Several states have adopted the Model Money Transmission Modernization Act (“MMTMA”), which defined tangible net worth as the aggregate assets of a licensee excluding all intangible assets, less liabilities, and established a calculation for minimum tangible net worth as a percentage of total assets. For states that have not adopted the MMTMA, BFS is required to maintain tangible net worth of a minimum amount, plus the amount of customer funds held in transit. In March 2024, Bakkt received approval from NYDFS to merge, and have since merged, Bakkt Crypto Solutions, LLC and Bakkt Marketplace, LLC into one legal entity, now referred to as BFS. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, BFS was in compliance with its respective regulatory capital requirements. The minimum capital requirements to which BFS is subject may restrict its ability to transfer cash. The Company may also be required to transfer cash to BFS such that it can continue to meet these minimum capital requirements.

Equity [Abstract]

Stockholders’ Equity

Up-C Collapse

On November 3, 2025, the Company completed the Reorganization. As part of the Reorganization, Bakkt formed a new holding company (“NewCo”) that replaced the Company as a listed parent company. In connection with the Reorganization, (i) holders of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Bakkt Class A Common Stock”) ceased to hold such shares and received an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of NewCo (“NewCo Class A Common Stock”) that have the same voting and economic rights as Bakkt Class A Common Stock, (ii) holders of shares of Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Bakkt Class V Common Stock”) ceased to hold such shares and received an equivalent number of shares of Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of NewCo (“NewCo Class V Common Stock”) that have the same voting and economic rights as the Bakkt Class V Common Stock, (iii) holders of common units in Opco, each coupled with one share of Bakkt Class V Common Stock (together, the “Paired Interests”), ceased to hold such Paired Interests and received an equivalent number of shares of NewCo Class A Common Stock, resulting in the elimination of shares of NewCo Class V Common Stock and NewCo having only one class of outstanding common stock, (iv) holders of membership units of the Management Vehicle (defined in Note 13, Share-Based Compensation) ceased to hold membership units of the Management Vehicle and received in exchange corresponding Opco Incentive Unit granted under the Opco Plan, as amended, held by the Management Vehicle, together with the share of NewCo Class V Common Stock paired therewith, and (v) holders of Opco Incentive Units, together with the share of NewCo Class V Common Stock paired therewith, ceased to hold such Opco Incentive Units and the shares of NewCo Class V Common Stock paired therewith, and received in exchange a corresponding number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of NewCo Class A Common Stock. Subsequent to the Reorganization, Bakkt has only one class of common stock. As part of the Reorganization, the assets and liabilities of Bakkt were contributed to Newco. The Reorganization was accounted for

as a common control transaction. Refer to Note 9 for further details regarding the amendment of the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from the Reorganization. Refer to Note 17 for further details regarding the deferred tax impacts resulting from the Reorganization.

2025 Equity Offering

On July 28, 2025, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Clear Street LLC and Cohen & Co. Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the Underwriters an aggregate of 6,753,627 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, and, for certain purchasers, 746,373 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants (collectively the “Offering”). The price to the public in the Offering was $10.00 per Share and $9.9999 per 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant, which was the price per share at which the Shares were being sold to the public in the Offering, minus the $0.0001 exercise price per Pre-Funded Warrant. See Note 11, Warrants, for further details regarding the 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants.

The Offering closed on July 30, 2025. The proceeds to the Company from the Offering were $70.4 million, net of fees to the underwriters and other offering expenses payable by the Company. Bakkt intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

2024 Registered Direct Offering

On February 29, 2024, Bakkt entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors (the “Third-Party Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue a combination of Class A Common Stock, Class 1 Warrants, Class 2 Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants in a registered direct offering (the “Third-Party Offering”). In a concurrent registered direct offering (the “ICE Offering” and, together with the Third-Party Offering, the “Concurrent Offerings”) on February 29, 2024, Bakkt entered into a securities purchase agreement with ICE (a related party), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue a combination of Class A Common Stock, Class 1 Warrants and Class 2 Warrants. The Company raised net proceeds from the Third-Party Offering of approximately $37.6 million, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and offering expenses payable by Bakkt, and raised net proceeds from the ICE Offering of approximately $9.8 million, after deducting offering expenses payable by Bakkt. Approximately $2.4 million of proceeds from the ICE Offering were received concurrently with the closing of the Third-Party Offering, with the remaining $7.4 million received in a subsequent closing of the ICE Offering on April 25, 2024 after Bakkt obtained stockholder approval for such issuance. Bakkt intend to use the net proceeds from the Concurrent Offerings for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

As of December 31, 2025, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding.

In conjunction with the Reorganization and TRA Amendment, the Company issued 465,890 shares of Preferred Stock to ICE, each convertible into one share of the Company Class A Common Stock upon the expiry or termination of the waiting period (and any extension thereof, including pursuant to any timing agreement) applicable to it under the HSR Act. The Preferred Stock issued to ICE was converted to 465,890 shares of the Company Class A Common Stock on December 3, 2025. No consideration was exchanged in connection with the issuance or conversion of the Preferred Stock, and there was no impact on the ending equity balances for the periods presented.

As of December 31, 2025, no dividends have been declared.

Class V Common Stock

Bakkt is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares with par value $0.0001 per share. These shares have no economic value but entitle the holder to one vote per share. Paired Interests may be exchanged for one share of our Class A common stock or a cash amount in accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Opco (the “Opco LLC Agreement”) and the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”). Holders of Paired Interests became eligible on April 16, 2022 under the Exchange Agreement to exchange their Paired Interests for Class A common stock, or, at Bakkt’s election, cash in lieu thereof. During the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, there were 3,728, 21,761, and 139,053 Paired Interests exchanged for our Class A common stock, and the Company did not elect to settle any such exchanges in cash. All remaining Class V shares were converted to Class A common stock as part of the Reorganization on November 3, 2025. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 0 and 7,178,303 shares of Class V common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

Dividends

Dividends will not be declared or paid on the Class V common stock.

Liquidation

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs, the holders of Class V common stock shall not be entitled to receive any of Bakkt’s assets.

Restrictions

In the event that any outstanding share of Class V common stock ceases to be held directly or indirectly by a holder of Opco common units, such share will automatically be transferred to Bakkt and cancelled for no consideration. The Company will not issue additional shares of Class V common stock, other than in connection with the valid issuance or transfer of Opco common units in accordance with Opco’s Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”).

Noncontrolling Interest

The following table summarizes the ownership interest in Opco as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:


	December 31, 2025			December 31, 2024
	Opco Common Units	Ownership %		Opco Common Units	Ownership %
Opco common units held by Bakkt Inc.	25,523,039	100	%	6,510,885	48	%
Opco common units held by noncontrolling interest holders	—	—	%	7,178,303	52	%
Total Opco common units outstanding	25,523,039	100	%	13,689,188	100	%

The weighted average ownership percentages for the applicable reporting periods are used to attribute net loss and other comprehensive loss to the Company and the noncontrolling interest holders. The noncontrolling interest holders’ weighted average ownership percentage for the years ended December 31, 2025 (through the period it was outstanding), December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023 was 42.6%, 55.1%, and 67.0%, respectively.

Members’ Equity

Prior to the business combination that resulted in Bakkt becoming a publicly traded company, Opco had three classes of voting units – Class A, Class B and Class C voting units – and incentive units granted under the Opco Incentive Equity Plan (the “Opco Plan”).

In connection with the referenced business combination, the Opco equity holders converted 16,000,000 Opco Class A voting units, 7,698,138 Opco Class B voting units, and 10,810,810 Opco Class C voting units to 7,597,331 shares of Class V common stock on a pro rata basis. Additionally, Bakkt issued 698,934 shares of Class V common stock related to the outstanding Opco incentive units.

In connection with the referenced business combination, Class C warrants of Opco (“Class C Warrants”) automatically converted into the right to purchase 31,734 Paired Interests in Opco at an exercise price of $126.00 per Paired Interest. Class C Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of Paired Interests. Holders of Class C Warrants are entitled to purchase one Paired Interest for every 25 Class C Warrants. The Class C Warrants expired on September 23, 2024, and all Class C Warrants, vested and unvested, expired unexercised. No expenses were recorded in the year ended December 31, 2025, since no securities were outstanding. And, no expenses were recorded in the years ended December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023, since the service conditions were not probable of being met in those periods.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition

Business Combinations and Asset Acquisition

Apex Crypto

On April 1, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the ownership interests of Apex Crypto. Bakkt recognized goodwill from the acquisition due to the assembled, experienced workforce and anticipated growth the Company expected to achieve from Apex Crypto’s sales pipeline and product capabilities. The total consideration as measured at April 1, 2023 included $55.0 million in cash, approximately $10.5 million in Class A common stock payable based on Apex Crypto’s performance in the fourth quarter of 2022, and $11.8 million of cash paid for net working capital, which was predominantly cash held in banks. In addition, the Company may pay up to $100.0 million of Class A common stock as additional consideration depending on Apex Crypto’s achievement of certain financial targets through 2025 (the “contingent consideration”). As part of the purchase price allocation the value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be $2.9 million.

The following is a reconciliation of the fair value of consideration transferred in the acquisition to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.


($ in millions)
Cash consideration paid	$	55.0
Cash paid for working capital and cash	11.8
Class A common stock at transaction close	10.5
Estimated fair value of Class A common stock contingent consideration	2.9
Total consideration	$	80.2
Current assets	$	31.8
Safeguarding asset for crypto	689.3
Non-current assets	0.3
Intangible assets - developed technology	5.6
Intangible assets - customer relationships	10.2
Goodwill	52.0
Current liabilities	(19.7)
Safeguarding obligation for crypto	(689.3)
Net assets acquired	$	80.2

The above fair values are as of the acquisition date. The acquired intangible assets and goodwill required the use of significant unobservable inputs including client activation forecasts, expectations about customer trading volume and frequency, customer attrition rates, and estimated useful lives of acquired technology and discount rates (level 3 inputs). The acquired customer relationships were valued using a multi-period excess earnings model. The acquired developed

technology was valued using a relief from royalty method. Acquired crypto safeguarding asset and obligation were valued based on the midpoint of a bid-ask spread as of the acquisition date (level 2 inputs). Other assets and liabilities were carried over at their acquired costs which was not materially different than their fair values.

The contingent consideration payable in Class A common stock to Apex Crypto's former owners based on the performance of the business in the 2023-2025 annual periods was estimated using a Monte Carlo model given the range of possible outcomes. As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, management determined the value of the contingent consideration was zero, based on forward-looking projections and minimum profit requirements associated with the earn-out and reversed the accrual through acquisition expenses. As of December 31, 2025, the value of the contingent consideration continues to be estimated at zero.

Revenue generated by Apex Crypto from the acquisition date through December 31, 2023 was $725.9 million, and is included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Net loss generated by Apex Crypto from the acquisition date through December 31, 2023 was $39.9 million, and is included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the Company's results of operations as if the acquisition of Apex Crypto had occurred on January 1, 2022. The unaudited pro forma financial information as presented below is for illustrative purposes and does not purport to represent what the results of operations would actually have been if the acquisition of Apex Crypto occurred as of the date indicated or what the results would be for any future periods. The unaudited pro forma results reflect the step-up amortization adjustments for the fair value of intangible assets acquired, acquisition-related expenses, and share-based compensation expense for newly issued restricted stock units. Proforma revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 would be $1,225.5 million. Proforma net loss for the years ended December 31, 2023 would be $219.5 million.

Subsequent to the acquisition, Bakkt changed the name of Apex Crypto to BFS.

Bumped Acquisition

On February 8, 2023, Bakkt acquired 100% of the units of Bumped Financial, LLC, which the Company subsequently renamed Bakkt Brokerage, LLC (“Bakkt Brokerage”), a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., for cash consideration of $0.6 million. Because of the limited scope of its historical operations, management determined that substantially all of the purchase consideration in the transaction would be allocated to the in-place licenses Bakkt Brokerage held and as such, have accounted for this as an asset acquisition.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Loss per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive share-based awards outstanding. There is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position. Shares of the Company’s Class V common stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and, therefore, are not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted loss per share of Class V common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations for net loss (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Discontinued Operations

Bakkt’s Loyalty Business offered a full spectrum of supplier content through configurable, white-label e-commerce storefronts that end users could acquire via redemption of loyalty points. The Company’s redemption catalog spanned a variety of rewards categories including travel, gift cards and merchandise, including a unique Apple product and services storefront. The travel solution offered a retail e-commerce booking platform with direct supplier integrations, as well as a U.S.-based call center for live-agent booking and servicing. Bakkt’s platform provided a unified shopping experience that was built to seamlessly extend its customers’ loyalty strategies and user experience for their loyalty programs. The platform’s functionality included a mobile-optimized user interface, numerous configurations to support diverse program needs, promotional campaign services, comprehensive fraud protection capabilities and the ability to split payments across both loyalty points and credit cards. On July 23, 2025, Bakkt agreed to sell the Loyalty Business, and closed the sale on October 1, 2025. As described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Loyalty business is reported as a discontinued operation. Unless otherwise indicated, the notes to the financial statements herein are presented to reflect continuing operations, subsequent to the sale of the Loyalty Business. The Company has a Transition Service Agreement with the Loyalty buyer whereby both parties agree to provide services to each other. The Transition Services Agreement ends in early 2026 but can be extended by mutual agreement of the parties.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

As described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company operates as a single reportable segment, which derives its revenues by providing software solutions that support digital asset transactions. The Company manages its business operations on a consolidated basis. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Bakkt's Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer.

The measure of segment assets is reported in the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. The CODM uses net income (loss) to allocate resources as part of the Company's annual and long-term planning processes, and to evaluate operating performance based on budget to actual results. Certain information provided to the CODM presents operating expenses on a different basis than that presented in the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table represents significant segment expenses provided to the CODM for the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

4			Business insurance primarily consists of business liability insurance premiums and is recorded as Selling, general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations.
5			Goodwill and intangible asset impairments is presented in combination with Depreciation and amortization to the CODM.
6			Other operating costs consist primarily of TRA Settlements, Acquisition-related expenses, Related party expenses, and Impairment of long-lived assets as presented on the statements of operations, as well as costs that are reported as Selling, general and administrative, and Compensation and benefits on the consolidated statements of operations.
7			Other expense (income), net consists primarily of Interest income, net, (Loss) gain from change in fair value of warrant liability, and Other expense, net, and Income tax (expense) benefit as presented in the consolidated statements of operations.

Bakkt recognized revenue from foreign jurisdictions of $162.7 million, $66.2 million, and $11.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. No material long-lived assets were held in foreign jurisdictions as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had no revenue concentration with any individual customer. However, Bakkt’s customers are introduced to the Company via client relationships. For the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company’s top three digital asset clients represented approximately 89% of Crypto services revenue. Three clients, Webull Pay LLC (“Webull”), Swan Bitcoin and Public Platform LLC (“Public”) represented over 10% of the Company’s Crypto services revenue during the year ended December 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2024 the Company’s top three digital asset clients represented approximately 94% of Crypto revenue. One client, Webull, represented over 10% of the Company’s Crypto services revenue during the year ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

On August 26, 2025, the Company received notice from Public that it was exercising its rights under its commercial agreement with the Company to initiate the offboarding of its customers from the Company’s platform. Public completed the offboarding from Bakkt’s platform on October 25, 2025. Public represented approximately 17% and 9% of the Company’s crypto services revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company expects the offboarding of Public to result in a decline in crypto services revenue. Management is actively pursuing alternative customer and partner relationships to mitigate the effect on future segment performance.

On March 14, 2025, the Company's largest client, Webull, notified the Company that it would not renew its commercial agreement with Bakkt when it ended on June 14, 2025, although the Company continues to service a limited number of states under an amended agreement with Webull. For the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, Webull represented approximately 40%, 74%, and 73%, respectively of the Company’s Crypto services revenue.

Fair Value Measurements

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2025

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels based on the nature of the inputs and assumptions used to determine fair value. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for additional information on the accounting policies related to fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified as Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as follows (in thousands):


	As of December 31, 2025
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Digital assets	$	1,238	$	—	$	1,238	$	—
Derivative assets	3,352		—		—		3,352
Total assets	$	4,590	$	—	$	1,238	$	3,352

Liabilities:

Warrant liability - Class 1 and Class 2 warrants	$	15,589	$	—	$	—	$	15,589
Warrant liability - public warrants	1,143		1,143		—		—

Total liabilities	$	16,732	$	1,143	$	—	$	15,589


	As of December 31, 2024
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3





Liabilities:

Warrant liability - Class 1 and Class 2 warrants	$	42,782	$	—	$	—	$	42,782
Warrant liability - public warrants	4,141		4,141		—		—
Total liabilities	$	46,923	$	4,141	$	—	$	42,782

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, unbilled accounts receivables, deposits with clearinghouse, due to related party, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and operating lease obligations approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The balance of deposits with clearinghouse not invested in U.S. government securities are in the form of cash, and therefore approximate fair value.The fair value of the Company's digital assets was determined using Level 2 inputs which included using the value of the digital asset determined as the mid-point of a bid-ask spread in the market management determined to be the principal market for the related digital assets as of December 31, 2025.

Bakkt's derivative asset is comprised of a put/call option associated with a participation right on a third-party ownership interest in a publicly traded company. The fair value of the derivative asset was determined using a binomial model and Black-Scholes-Merton equation, both of which utilize certain Level 3 inputs.


	Derivative assets
Balance as of December 31, 2024	$	—
Settlements	(10,621)
Change in fair value	13,973
Balance as of December 31, 2025	$	3,352

Inputs used to calculate the estimated fair value of the derivative assets at December 31, 2025 were as follows:


	Derivative assets
Mean monthly return	2.06	%
Volatility	68.4	%
Time to maturity (years)	10
Time to liquidity (months)	1 month
Risk free rate	2.06	%

Since the second quarter 2024, the Company’s Class 1 Warrants and Class 2 Warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton model and a binomial lattice model, respectively, both of which utilize certain Level 3 inputs. Prior to the second quarter of 2024, the Class 1 Warrants and Class 2 Warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton model and a Monte Carlo simulation, respectively. A significant input to the Monte Carlo simulation included the volatility of movement in the price of the stock underlying the warrants, which was estimated using the historical volatility of the Company’s Class A Common Stock over the contractual period of the warrant.

The significant unobservable inputs used for the fair value measurement of the Class 1 Warrants and Class 2 Warrant liabilities as of December 31, 2025 are summarized as follows:


Expected term (years)	3.68
Continuous risk-free rate	3.55	%
Expected volatility	140	%

The Public Warrant liability is valued based on quoted prices in active markets and is classified within Level 1.

The preceding methods described may produce fair value calculations that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although management believes the Company’s valuation techniques are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

Related Parties	12 Months Ended
Related Parties	Dec. 31, 2025
Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Parties	Related Parties Marketing Agreement In August 2025, the Company entered into agreements with a family member of an executive of the Company for branding and website management services and public relations and social media management services. The fees payable under these agreements are approximately $0.2 million; $0.2 million was paid under such agreements as of December 31, 2025. Commercial Agreement With DTR On July 31, 2025, we entered into a Commercial Agreement (the “Commercial Agreement”) with Distributed Technologies Research Global, Ltd. (“DTR”), which is owned by Mr. Naheta, which sets forth the terms and conditions governing the integration of Bakkt’s various solutions related to financial transaction processing and digital asset trading with DTR’s technology related to the execution of global payments powered by stablecoins. Pursuant to the Commercial Agreement, DTR granted Bakkt and its affiliates a non-exclusive, non-transferable, sublicensable license for the duration of the term of the Commercial Agreement to access, display, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, and otherwise use the DTR’s technology in certain territories; and DTR and its affiliates a non-exclusive, non-transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, right and license to display, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, and otherwise use Bakkt solutions as needed. For each payment that is processed under the Commercial Agreement, Bakkt will be entitled to a customary fee for similar types of transactions. As of December 31, 2025, no payments were made under the agreement. The initial term of the Commercial Agreement is three years from the date of execution, unless terminated earlier. At any time, either party will be able to terminate the Commercial Agreement in the event of insolvency of the other party or a material breach of the other party that has not been cured. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Commercial Agreement, DTR will be subject to certain restrictions on its ability to provide services or technology that are competitive with the project in certain territories. Sale of Bakkt Trust On March 17, 2025, Bakkt entered into an agreement with Intercontinental Exchange Holdings, Inc. ("ICE") whereby ICE agreed to purchase all of the outstanding equity interests of Bakkt Trust for a cash payment of $1.5 million plus the assumption of Bakkt Trust’s regulatory capital requirement, which was approximately $3.0 million as of signing, and certain operating costs of Bakkt Trust during the period between the signing of the purchase agreement and the closing of the transaction (subject to such closing). The sale of Bakkt Trust was completed on May 15, 2025. As a result of the sale, Bakkt recognized a loss of $2.3 million reflected in Other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. In conjunction with the sale of Bakkt Trust, Bakkt and ICE entered into a transition services agreement ("TSA") whereby the Company agreed to provide certain transitional services to ICE for defined fees for a period of up to six months from closing of the sale of Bakkt Trust. Amounts billed under the TSA generally relate to pass through of a portion of third-party software costs and time incurred by Bakkt employees supporting Bakkt Trust. The TSA can be terminated with six months' notice by either party for cause or by mutual agreement of the parties. The amount of fees charged to ICE under the TSA were not material for the year ended December 31, 2025. Amounts billed under the TSA are generally recognized as a recovery of expenses incurred or as a component of Other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The TSA terminated as of December 31, 2025 and the amount of any receivables owed to Bakkt under the TSA were not material as of December 31, 2025. ICE Credit Facility On August 12, 2024, Bakkt and Opco entered into a revolving credit facility with ICE (the “Lender” and the facility the “ICE Credit Facility”), with certain subsidiaries of Bakkt party thereto from time to time, as guarantors, whereby the Lender agreed to provide for a $40.0 million secured revolving line of credit to the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes. Any borrowings under the facility made prior to December 31, 2024 required the consent of the Lender in its sole discretion. For the period beginning December 31, 2024 through March 30, 2025, Opco could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount (excluding any capitalized interest) of $10.0 million. For the period beginning March 31 through June 29, 2025, Opco could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount (excluding any capitalized interest) of $20.0 million. From the period beginning June 30 through September 29, 2025, Opco could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount (excluding any capitalized interest) of $30.0 million. On or after September 30, 2025, Opco could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount (excluding any capitalized interest) of $40.0 million. Loans under the ICE Credit Facility did not amortize. Borrowings under the ICE Credit Facility accrued interest at a rate equal to, at Opco’s election, either the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) for a term of one, three or six months plus 12%, or the prime rate plus 11%. Interest was payable quarterly in arrears with respect to borrowings bearing interest at the prime rate or on the last day of an interest period, but at least every three months, with respect to borrowings bearing interest at the term SOFR rate; provided, that Opco could elect to pay interest in kind by adding such interest amount to the principal amount of the outstanding borrowings under the ICE Credit Facility. For any interest period for which Opco has elected to pay interest in kind, the applicable margin on the outstanding loans would increase by 1% per annum. Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate would apply on all obligations during the existence of an event of default under the ICE Credit Facility at a per annum rate equal to 2% above the otherwise applicable interest rate. Opco paid a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the daily average of the available commitment that could be borrowed, less the outstanding principal amount of all loans (excluding any capitalized interest). Fees were payable in cash quarterly and at maturity. Loans under the ICE Credit Facility could be prepaid without penalty, subject to customary breakage costs for loans bearing interest at the term SOFR rate. Amounts repaid under the ICE Credit Facility could be re-borrowed prior to the maturity date, subject to certain customary conditions set forth in the ICE Credit Facility. The ICE Credit Facility contained customary affirmative and negative covenants, including negative covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, undergo certain fundamental changes, dispose of assets, make certain restricted payments and prepayments, enter into restrictive agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates, make investments, and amend certain agreements relating to debt, in each case, subject to limitations and exceptions set forth in the ICE Credit Facility. The ICE Credit Facility also contained various customary events of default that included, among others, payment defaults, breach of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, judgment defaults, and events constituting a change of control, subject to thresholds and cure periods as set forth in the ICE Credit Facility. The obligations under the ICE Credit Facility were required to be guaranteed by Bakkt and certain material domestic subsidiaries of the Company and secured by substantially all of the personal property of the Company and such subsidiary guarantors. On March 27, 2025, the Company drew down $5.0 million under the ICE Credit Facility. On June 18, 2025, the Company repaid all principal and interest then outstanding on the ICE Credit Facility. On June 17, 2025, the Company and ICE entered into an amendment to the ICE Credit Facility to permit the issuance of the Convertible Debenture described in Note 8, Convertible Debenture. On July 30, 2025, the Company terminated the ICE Credit Facility and repaid all fees due thereunder through the date of termination. The Company recognized interest expense of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. No interest costs were incurred related to the ICE Credit Facility for the year ended December 31, 2024 since no borrowings were made under the ICE Credit Facility as of December 31, 2024. The effective interest rate on the ICE Credit Facility as of payoff on June 18, 2025 was 16.3%. BFS Technical Support In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Apex Crypto, Bakkt entered into a Transition Services Agreement with Apex Fintech Solutions, Inc. (“AFS”; the “Apex TSA”), pursuant to which AFS provided technical support and other transition-related services in exchange for quarterly service fees payable by Bakkt. The Company recognized $—, $0.6 million and $1.1 million of expense related to the Apex TSA during the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively which is reflected as Related party expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $— and $0.2 million, respectively reflected as Due to related party in the consolidated balance sheets related to the Apex TSA. ICE Management and Technical Support Upon consummation of the business combination that resulted in Bakkt becoming a publicly-traded company, Bakkt entered into a Transition Services Agreement with ICE (the “ICE TSA”), pursuant to which ICE provides insurance, digital warehouse, data center, technical support, and other transition-related services in exchange for quarterly service fees payable by Bakkt. The Company recognized $—, $—, and $2.8 million of expense related to the ICE TSA for the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023 respectively, which are reflected as Related party expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $— and $2.2 million, respectively, reflected as Due to related party in the consolidated balance sheets related to the ICE TSA. The ICE TSA terminated in December 2023. Triparty Agreement The Digital Currency Trading, Clearing, and Warehouse Services Agreement (“Triparty Agreement”) provided for ICE Futures U.S., Inc to list for trading one or more digital currency futures and/or options contracts, and for ICE Clear U.S. (“ICUS”) to serve as the clearing house to provide central counterparty and ancillary services for such contracts. Effective July 28, 2023, IFUS delisted all Bakkt Bitcoin futures contracts other than the August and September 2023 expiry months, and also delisted all Bakkt Bitcoin Option contracts. Following the delisting, no new Bakkt Bitcoin futures or option expiry months were listed for trading. The August and September 2023 expiry months continued to be listed for trading through their regular last trading days, which were August 24 and September 28, 2023 respectively. No material revenues associated with the Triparty Agreement were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Triparty Agreement also required Bakkt Trust to make, and, subject to certain limits, to replenish as needed a contribution to ICUS, to be used by ICUS in accordance with the ICUS rules. On September 29, 2023, ICUS returned the Company's $15.2 million contribution, and effective October 2, 2023, the parties terminated the Triparty Agreement.

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

The Company leases real estate for office space under operating leases. There are no restrictions or covenants imposed by any of the leases, and none of the Company's leases contain material residual value guarantees.

In November 2025, Bakkt executed a Termination of Lease Agreement (the "Lease Termination") for its corporate headquarters office space in Alpharetta, Georgia. The company recognized income of approximately $$7.1 million related to the lease termination, which is recognized in Other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

In December 2024, the Company signed a Lease Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Lease Assignment”) for its New York office lease, whereby a third-party agreed to assume all the Company’s rights, title and interest in and to the lease, including but not limited to the performance by the third-party of all of the Company’s duties and obligations under the lease. The Lease Assignment was contingent upon the landlord’s consent. In January 2025, the Company signed an Assignment and Assumption of Lease with Landlord’s Consent for the New York office lease, which provided the landlord’s consent to the Lease Assignment. The Company is jointly and severally liable with the third-party assignee for the obligations under the New York office lease. For the year ended ended December 31, 2025 the Company recognized income of approximately $1.8 million related to the Lease Assignment, net of approximately $0.9 million paid to the third-party assignee under the Lease Assignment, all of which is recognized in Other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company leases office space in New York under a short-term lease.

Bakkt has a second office lease in Alpharetta, GA that expires in April 2026.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Share-Based and Unit-Based Compensation

The following discussion of the Company’s share-based and unit-based compensation awards includes awards related to continuing and discontinuing operations, unless otherwise clarified.

2021 Incentive Plan

Bakkt's 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2021 Incentive Plan”), became effective on October 15, 2021. The 2021 Incentive Plan allows the Company to make equity and equity-based incentive awards to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. There were initially 1,032,677 shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Incentive Plan which can be granted as stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs"), dividend equivalent rights and other share-based awards. On June 6, 2023, the Incentive Plan was amended to increase the shares reserved for issuance under the 2021 Incentive Plan by 1,063,618 shares. On May 31, 2024, the 2021 Incentive Plan was again amended to increase the shares reserved for issuance under the 2021 Incentive Plan by 938,625 shares for a new aggregate total of3,034,920 shares. On June 17, 2025, the 2021 Incentive Plan was once more amended to increase the shares reserved for issuance under the 2021 Incentive Plan by 979,201 shares for a new aggregate of 4,014,121 shares. No award granted under the 2021 Incentive Plan may vest earlier than the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to limited exceptions.

Inducement Awards

In connection with Mr. Naheta’s appointment as Co-CEO, Mr. Naheta received (i) 1,607,717 PSUs and (2) 11,426 RSUs (together, the “Inducement Grant”). The RSUs vest on March 19, 2026, subject to Mr. Naheta’s continued service with the Company. The PSUs vest over a three-year performance period based on attainment of stock price appreciation metrics that are measured based on a rolling 90-day volume weighted average price. The Inducement Grant is subject to the terms of the 2021 Incentive Plan as if granted thereunder.

Stock Option Awards

In connection with the Offering, on July 29, 2025, the Board and its Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) granted stock options to select members of management to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Options”), subject to approval by the Company's shareholders, which approval was obtained on October 31, 2025. For accounting purposes, the Options were not deemed to be granted until shareholder approval was obtained on October 31, 2025. No consideration was received by the Company for the granting of the Options. Due to the limited share reserve under the 2021 Incentive Plan, the Options were approved outside the 2021 Incentive Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Options will be governed in all respects as if issued under the 2021 Incentive Plan, except with respect to the 2021 Incentive Plan’s minimum vesting requirements.

The Options are structured as a commitment by the grantee to exercise a predetermined number of Options every quarter for eight quarters (such committed number of Options, the “Mandatory Exercise Options”) at an exercise price per share of $10.00, which reflected the fair market value of a share of Class A Common Stock on the date of the grant. For each quarter in which the grantee exercises the Mandatory Exercise Options, the grantee will be entitled to exercise an additional number of Options (the “Optional Exercise Options”), which Optional Exercise Options will become exercisable for a period of one year. If a grantee does not exercise the Mandatory Exercise Options in any quarterly tranche during the applicable mandatory exercise period, then the grantee's remaining Options (in respect of the current quarterly tranche and any subsequent quarterly tranche) will be forfeited automatically. The Company’s stock option plan permits early exercise of options, allowing the grantee to purchase shares prior to the vesting date, subject to the commencement of the first mandatory exercise period. Shares acquired through early exercise of unvested options are subject to transfer restrictions and may not be sold or otherwise disposed of until the applicable vesting conditions are satisfied. In order to further facilitate management’s continued participation and investment in Company growth, in the event that any Options are forfeited by a grantee in accordance with the forfeiture terms set forth above, the Options will be available for reallocation

and future grant by the Compensation Committee to service providers of the Company, as identified by the Compensation Committee, and which subsequent grants will be in the form of stock options made on the same terms as the Options and will have an exercise price equal to or greater than fair market value as of such applicable date of grant.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $5.1 million, $4.9 million, and $2.3 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to the accelerated vesting for certain employees that were terminated, primarily related to the Company’s restructuring efforts. Acceleration of share-based compensation expense related to the Company’s restructuring efforts is included in “Restructuring expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations. Bakkt also recorded reversal of share-based compensation expense of $—, $1.1 million, and $2.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, for forfeitures, primarily related to executive resignations and the Company's restructuring efforts. Reversal of share-based compensation expense related to the Company’s restructuring efforts is included in Restructuring expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Total fair value of vested RSU and PSU awards was $38.2 million, $$7.3 million, and $8.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The fair value of the RSUs and PSUs used in determining share-based compensation expense is based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. For PSUs with market conditions, fair value was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, along with a Geometric Brownian Motion formula to model stock price movements. The assumptions noted in the table below were used to estimate the fair value of the PSUs with market conditions.


Initial stock price			$8.71 - $12.79
Expected term (years)			2 - 3 years
Coefficient of variation			-
Risk free rate			3.79% - 3.98%
Volatility			125%
Dividend yield			0%

PSUs provide an opportunity for the recipient to receive a number of shares of our common stock based on various performance metrics. Upon vesting, each performance stock unit equals one share of common stock of the

Company. The Company accrues compensation expense for the PSUs based on management’s assessment of the probable outcome of the performance conditions. PSUs awarded in 2025 are subject to market-based vesting conditions tied to the Company’s stock performance. Specifically, PSUs vest based on the achievement of a target stock price, determined using the volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Common Stock over a specified period. Vesting occurs only if the Company's average stock price meets or exceeds predetermined VWAP thresholds during the measurement period and the recipients provide at least one year of service. The metrics for PSUs granted during 2024 relate to the Company’s performance during fiscal year 2024, as measured against objective performance goals approved by the Board. The actual number of units earned may range from 0% to 150% or 200% of the target number of units depending on the metric and depending upon achievement of the 2024 performance goals. PSUs granted in 2024 vest in two equal annual installments from 2025 to 2026. The metrics for PSUs granted during 2023 relate to Bakkt’s performance during fiscal year 2023, as measured against objective performance goals approved by the Board. The actual number of units earned may range from 0% to 150% of the target number of units depending upon achievement of the 2023 performance goals. PSUs granted in 2023 vest in three equal annual installments from 2024 to 2026.

Opco Plan

Preferred incentive units and common incentive units (collectively, “incentive units”) represented an ownership interest in Opco and were entitled to receive distributions from Opco, subject to certain vesting conditions. Opco classified incentive units as equity awards on its consolidated balance sheets. Participation units, issued directly by Opco to Opco Plan participants, did not represent an ownership interest in Opco but rather provided Opco Plan participants the contractual right to participate in the value of Opco, if any, through either a cash payment or issuance of Class A common stock upon the occurrence of certain events following vesting of the participation units. Because participation units had historically been settled in cash at the Company’s discretion, the Company classified participation units as liability awards on its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023. At the Company’s discretion, the Company settled the final tranche of vested participation units in October 2023 by issuing 4,472 shares of Class A common stock in lieu of making cash payments.

The units were unvested on the grant date and were subject to the vesting terms in the award agreement. They would not receive distributions until such units were vested. The units vested subject to continuous employment through

the vesting date (subject to limited exceptions), and the achievement of certain performance and market conditions. A portion of the units could be subject to vesting upon a liquidity event, initial public offering, or partial exit event, or to the extent any incentive units and participation units remained outstanding and unvested on the date that was the eight-year anniversary of the launch of one of Opco’s services in a production environment, which occurred on September 23, 2019, these remaining units would vest based on the calculated fair market value of Opco as of such date. An initial public offering vesting event contemplated in the Opco Plan occurred October 15, 2021.

On December 19, 2018, Opco and Bakkt Management, LLC (the “Management Vehicle”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Opco, entered into the Back-to-Back Agreement. The Management Vehicle had no substantive operations, and its sole purpose was to own incentive units in Opco. Under the Back-to-Back Agreement, Opco granted incentive units to the Management Vehicle, which was a member of Opco, and the Management Vehicle issued economically identical membership interests in the Management Vehicle (“Management incentive units”) to employees. Any employees who received Management incentive units had an ownership interest in the Management Vehicle, which corresponded to an indirect ownership interest in Opco. Beginning on the 4th anniversary of the date that an incentive unit vested and assuming that Opco had not consummated an IPO or Liquidity Event, the Management Vehicle had the right, but not the obligation, to require Opco to purchase all of the incentive units then held by the Management Vehicle, for a period of four years. Since the incentive units reached a vesting event on October 15, 2021, the Management Vehicle no longer had the right to require Opco to purchase all of the incentive units held by the Management Vehicle. Accordingly, since October 15, 2021, the Company classified the incentive units as Noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheets.

In May 2020, Opco amended the Opco Plan. Under the modified Opco Plan, participants had the opportunity to continue to hold unvested units upon voluntary resignation of employment. The number of unvested units that a participant could continue to hold depended on the number of years that the participant was employed. Non-forfeited units vested upon the occurrence of a vesting event, as defined in the Opco Plan, subject to time restrictions. The modification to the Opco Plan did not result in additional compensation expense being recognized because the fair value of the units immediately before and after the modification was the same.

Certain incentive unit awards granted under the Opco Plan in late 2020 were modified. The modification was approved in April 2021. The modification required Opco to redeem 40% of the first one-third of certain employee awards which were scheduled to vest on October 15, 2021.

Effective October 15, 2021, the 76,475,000 outstanding preferred incentive units and 23,219,745 outstanding common incentive units were converted into 17,473,362 common incentive units, and the 10,811,502 outstanding participation units were converted into 1,197,250 participation units. Contemporaneously with the conversion, approximately one-third of the awards in the Opco Plan vested. The second tranche vested on October 15, 2022 and the third tranche vested on October 15, 2023, although under the terms of the Opco Plan, employees who were terminated without cause after October 15, 2021 vested in the unvested portion of their awards immediately upon their termination date. There has not been, and will not be, any additional awards made under the Opco Plan.

Unit-Based Compensation Expense

As of December 31, 2025 there were no outstanding Incentive Units and no participation units remaining under the Opco Plan.

There were no participation units granted during the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, or December 31, 2023. During the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company made cash payments of $—, $—, and $0.1 million respectively, to settle vested participation units. At the Company’s discretion, the Company settled the final tranche of vested participation units in October 2023 by issuing 4,472 shares of Class A common stock in lieu of making cash payments.

Determination of Fair Value of Incentive and Participation Units

The fair value of incentive and participation units granted was calculated through a Monte Carlo simulation based on various outcomes. Opco determined that a Monte Carlo simulation was an appropriate estimation model because of the market condition associated with the vesting of the units. The determination of the fair value of the units was affected by Opco’s stock price and certain assumptions such as Opco’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the units, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividends, which were determined as follows:

•Expected term – The expected term represented the period that a unit was expected to be outstanding.

•Volatility – Opco had limited historical data available to derive its own stock price volatility. As such, Opco estimated stock price volatility based on the average historic price volatility of comparable public industry peers.

•Risk-free interest rate – The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the grant date for securities with similar expected terms to the term of Opco’s incentive units.

•Expected dividends – Expected dividends was assumed to be zero as Opco had not paid and dids not expect to pay cash dividends or non-liquidating distributions.

•Discount for lack of marketability – an estimated two year time to exit certain awards and the six month lock-up restriction on certain awards was reflected as a discount for lack of marketability estimated using the Finnerty model.

The inputs used in the models to estimate the fair value of the common incentive units and participation units granted in 2023 are summarized as follows:


Dividend yield			—%
Risk-free interest rate			0.06% - 0.36%
Expected volatility			51.00% - 53.00%
Expected term (years)			0.50 - 2.00
Discount for lack of marketability			0.082

Determination of Fair Value of Stock Options

The Company estimated the fair value of the stock options granted under the Option Plan using a two-step valuation methodology. First, the Company determined the stock price at which recipients would elect not to exercise each tranche of Mandatory Options and instead forfeit all remaining unexercised Options. To estimate these inflection prices, the Company valued the remaining Optional Options using the Black-Sholes option pricing model and valued the remaining Mandatory Options as forward contracts. Following determination of the inflection prices, the Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the Options.
