Amber International revenue drops sequentially to $10M as crypto firm details AI push

Amber International (NASDAQ:AMBR), the institutional digital asset financial services provider operating under the Amber Premium banner, reported a sequential contraction in top-line results for the first quarter of 2026, amid shifting trading volumes across the broader crypto market.

The Nasdaq-listed company generated $10 million in revenue for the first three months of the year, down from the $16.3 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Gross profit for the period stood at $6.8 million, while bottom-line performance resulted in a net loss from continuing operations of $3.7 million.

Despite the sequential revenue deceleration, capital retention remained resilient, with client assets on the platform holding steady at approximately $1 billion.

The baseline capital pool underscores stable ongoing adoption from the firm's core base of institutional and high-net-worth investors.

To offset cyclical headwinds in traditional digital asset trading, the company is pivoting toward highly automated infrastructure.

During the quarter, Amber International launched A-MM, an agent-native liquidity operations system designed to handle high-frequency blockchain liquidities.

Management expects the new system to begin generating incremental revenue streams starting in the second quarter of 2026.

The tech deployment coincides with the company's broader strategic pivot toward its "Crypto for AI" vision, which seeks to integrate Web3 financial architecture with decentralized AI workloads and autonomous transaction agents.

Alongside these structural investments, Amber International sustained its capital return program, executing additional buybacks under its $50 million share repurchase program, which leaves $45.5 million currently available for future market completions.
