Herford, 15 April 2021 – Bitcoin Group SE (ISIN DE000A1TNV91) is starting the 2021 financial year with strong growth in the first quarter. In particular, the wholly owned subsidiary futurum bank AG recorded sustained high demand for cryptocurrencies and further customer growth on the trading platform it operates, bitcoin.de, in the first three months of the 2021 financial year, which is reflected in a pleasing development of net commission income.

By comparison, according to preliminary data already published, total revenue in the 2020 financial year amounted to EUR 15 million with expenses of EUR 4.5 million.
