Bakkt, the crypto firm that’s basically a financial version of a “I don’t know what I’m doing” emoji, has sold its loyalty services business to focus on being a “pure-play crypto infrastructure company.” 🤯
They sold it for a measly $11 million to some company called Project Labrador Holdco, LLC. Because nothing says “serious business” like a name that sounds like a sci-fi movie. 🚀
The deal is expected to close in Q3 2025, which is basically next week if you’re a crypto startup. They also included some working capital, debt, and a short-term cash loan. Because nothing says “financial stability” like a loan. 💸
Bakkt says this will let them focus on their “core crypto offerings” and stablecoin payments. Because nothing says “core” like selling your other business. 🧠
In March, Bakkt decided to focus on crypto, and then two of its biggest clients, Bank of America and Webull, said “no thanks.” Because of course they did. 😅

Andy Main said, “We’re fully embracing our future as a streamlined, pure-play crypto infrastructure company.” Because nothing says “streamlined” like selling your other business. 🧼
He added, “We’ll dedicate all our resources to our core crypto offerings.” Because what could go wrong? 🤡
Stablecoins are hot, but nothing says “hot” like a 500% stock jump. 🔥
Akshay Naheta said they’ll deploy AI to “enhance crypto offerings” and “execute aggressively on treasury strategy.” Because what could go wrong? 🤖

Shares dropped 5% on Monday and then fell 27.8% after hours. Because of course they did. 📉
Preliminary Q2 results show earnings bump
Bakkt shared preliminary Q2 results, showing a 13% revenue bump. Because nothing says “growth” like a 13% increase. 📈
