Circle Reports $75.3 Billion USDC Circulation and $2.7 Billion Revenue in 2025

Circle’s Q4 2025 earnings beat forecasts, fueled by USDC growth and reserve income, with shares surging nearly 30% amid strong institutional and retail adoption.

Fact Check
Multiple credible reports place Circle's USDC circulation in 2025 close to the stated $75.3 billion figure. Reputable finance news outlets cited it as $74.7 billion, which is within less than 1% deviation from the claim and suggests either rounding or a slightly different data point in time. Another financial summary mentioned $76.3 billion, again within a narrow range, indicating that USDC supply fluctuated in that band depending on the reporting date. Therefore, the USDC portion of the claim is broadly supported. However, none of the provided primary sources directly verify the $2.7 billion revenue figure for 2025. Past-year revenue numbers (e.g., $1.68 billion for 2024) and reports of revenue growth suggest that $2.7 billion could be plausible, but this is inferred rather than directly confirmed. The lack of explicit revenue confirmation introduces uncertainty, reducing confidence from high to medium. Overall, while USDC figures seem accurate, the revenue part is plausible but not directly substantiated in the evidence provided.
Summary

Circle reported Q4 2025 earnings of $0.43 per share, far exceeding projections of $0.16. Revenue and reserve income totaled $770 million, up 77% year-over-year, driven by USDC circulation growth to $75.3 billion and a 247% rise in on-chain transaction volume to $11.9 trillion. Net income from continuing operations reached $133 million in Q4, with adjusted EBITDA at $167 million, up 412% year-over-year. For FY2025, revenue and reserve income increased 64% to $2.7 billion, but the company posted a $70 million net loss due to $424 million in IPO-related stock compensation. CEO Jeremy Allaire highlighted expanding USDC adoption across enterprises and institutions, progress on the Arc mainnet, and developments in EURC and USYC. Circle shares rose 29.2% to $79.13, though still 73% below their post-IPO peak.
