In H1 2026, Circle generated approximately $1.4B in revenue and reserve income, while $819M went to distribution partners and transaction costs. That's roughly 59 cents of every dollar.
A few things I'll be looking at in tomorrow's report:
• Reserve income and margins: How much is Circle retaining after distribution payments, particularly its Coinbase arrangement?
• Interest rates: How much pressure is lower reserve yields putting on income, and can USDC circulation growth compensate?

Coinbase's Q3 earnings deck already gives us an important clue. Average USDC held across Coinbase products reached a record $22B in Q3, representing roughly 30% of average USDC market capitalization. Coinbase also confirmed this quarter reflected the full impact of the Hyperliquid USDC migration.
That matters because distribution comes at a cost.
