The success of Builder+, which optimizes block construction to maximize transaction fee (gas) revenue, drove record growth, underscoring the strength of both our strategic direction and execution.Our goal is simple: drive shareholder value by growing revenue and improving margins. We aim to achieve this goal in three ways: 1) enhance our tech stack, 2) increase order flow, and 3) control block space. The following table outlines our 2025 progress towards these initiatives.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/11377/245124_btcs_figure2.jpgIn 2024, we were fully focused on building our operations, which culminated in several key developments-including the transition to Rust, the adoption of bare-metal servers, the implementation of a data lake, a partnership with and investment in ETHGas, the introduction of rebates, multiple new sources of private order flow, the launch of the Staking Protection Plan ("SPP") with WonderFi and Figment, and our scaled validator implementation with Rocket Pool.As a result, our peak daily block-building market share accounted for over 1.5% of all transactions processed on Ethereum's network and has averaged over 1% over the last 30 days.With a strong foundation in place, BTCS is well-positioned to execute our strategy and maximize shareholder value.Industry & Market CommentaryThe cryptocurrency market experienced significant developments in late 2024 and early 2025, including:Regulatory Tailwinds: The new administration's pro-crypto policies have fostered a constructive regulatory environment not seen in the last 10 years. With regulatory clarity and sensible oversight being the new norm, the stage is set for innovation and renewed confidence and growth across the industry. The change is marked by the SEC's recent dismissal of several high-profile cases, including Coinbase, Robinhood, Uniswap, Gemini, Consensys, and Cumberland.Ethereum's Network Growth: The upcoming Pectra upgrade in 2025 is set to be a game-changer for Ethereum, enhancing speed, reducing costs, and simplifying transactions. Key features include the ability to pay transaction fees with tokens like USDC instead of just ETH, an increase in staking limits from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH to improve efficiency, and expanded transaction capacity through blob technology. With these advancements, Ethereum is strengthening its competitive edge against Solana, positioning itself to remain the go-to blockchain for DeFi, NFTs, and beyond.Institutional Adoption: Ethereum ETF approvals were officially granted in 2024, marking a major milestone for institutional investment in digital assets. This development has significantly increased accessibility for traditional investors and is expected to drive long-term capital inflows into Ethereum, reinforcing its position as the foundation of a growing global digital economy.These transformational developments far outweigh any short-term price fluctuations in the crypto market. Enhanced scalability, improved regulatory clarity, and increasing institutional participation create a strong foundation for long-term growth. As blockchain adoption accelerates, Ethereum's ongoing advancements position it as the premier network for decentralized applications, reinforcing the bullish outlook for the sector.About BTCS:BTCS Inc. is a U.S.-based blockchain infrastructure technology company currently focused on driving scalable revenue growth through its blockchain infrastructure operations.
