Key Figures
Market Reality Check
Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apr 23 | Preliminary Q1 earnings | Positive | -4.9% | Preliminary Q1 2026 results and reiteration of full-year 2026 guidance. |
| Mar 31 | Q4 and FY 2025 results | Positive | -4.7% | Q4 and full-year 2025 results plus Avalanche treasury and guidance update. |
| Mar 02 | Preliminary FY 2025 | Positive | +0.1% | Preliminary 2025 results and initial 2026 revenue and EBITDA guidance ranges. |
Earnings and guidance updates have often been followed by weak price action, with an average move of -3.16% on prior earnings-related headlines.
Over recent months, AVAX One has repeatedly used earnings updates to highlight its Avalanche treasury, rapid revenue growth, and 2026 guidance targeting $11M–$12M revenue and positive EBITDA. Prior releases on preliminary Q1 2026 results, Q4 and full-year 2025, and preliminary 2025 figures all emphasized expanding AVAX holdings, Bitcoin mining scale, and multi‑year liquidity. Despite these positive operational signals, shares generally traded lower after such announcements, framing today’s detailed Q1 2026 report and reiterated guidance within a pattern of cautious market reception.
Historical Comparison
Past earnings headlines moved the stock an average of -3.16%. Today’s -3.36% reaction fits that pattern of modest post‑earnings weakness.
Earnings communications have progressed from preliminary 2025 figures and 2026 guidance, to full Q4/FY 2025 results, and now detailed Q1 2026 results with reiterated revenue and EBITDA targets.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock surged +11.1% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with the sharp step-up in Q1 2026 revenue to $2.5M and the reiterated 2026 revenue guidance of $11M–$12M. However, GAAP results still reflected a large net loss of $46.4M, heavily influenced by $43.3M in non-cash digital asset-related charges. Historically, earnings news has averaged a -3.16% move, so any outsized upside would have contrasted with prior cautious trading around results.

Continued Execution of Modular AI/HPC Infrastructure Strategy to Capitalize on Accelerating Compute Demand
Total AVAX Holdings of Approximately 14 million as of May 14, 2026
WEST PALM BEACH, FL, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AVAX One Technology Ltd. (NASDAQ: AVX) (“AVAX One” or the “Company”), today announced its financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, along with an update on its AVAX treasury strategy.
“The first quarter represented an important period for AVAX One as we laid the groundwork for our evolution into a power-first digital infrastructure company,” said Jolie Kahn, Chief Executive Officer of AVAX One. “Subsequent to quarter end, we announced our formal expansion into AI/HPC data center infrastructure, expanded our Bitcoin mining platform and oriented the business around scalable, behind-the-meter power assets that we believe can support long-term growth and profitability. At the same time, our Avalanche treasury continues to provide a differentiated source of yield and strategic optionality. Together, these steps reflect a deliberate repositioning of AVAX One around the physical and digital infrastructure we believe will define the next phase of artificial intelligence and onchain finance.”
First Quarter 2026 Financial Summary (vs. Q1 2025)
- Total Revenue: Total revenue for the first quarter of 2026 increased materially to
$2.5 million compared to$0.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by AVAX One’s Avalanche digital asset treasury strategy, which generated approximately$1.9 million in staking rewards in Q1 2026, coupled with the revenue from Bitcoin mining, which generated approximately$0.6 million in revenue.
- Total Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2026 were
$47.1 million compared to$2.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. The operating expenses in the first quarter of 2026 included$43.3 million of non-cash charges related to: 1) a$36.3 million unrealized loss on the change in market value of the Company’s digital assets; 2) a$5.3 million loss on digital asset transactions attributable to the deployment of AVAX to tAVAX tokens; 3) a$1.1 million impairment of liquid staking tokens; 4) depreciation and amortization of$0.3 million ; and 5) a$0.3 million charge incurred as a result of the vesting of shares issued in 2025 to board advisors, board members and certain executives. In addition to these non-cash charges, the Company incurred certain one-time non-recurring charges for costs related to reorganizing and restructuring its back-office operations, including severance, stay bonuses and duplicative costs of$0.2 million . Adjusting for these non-cash charges and one-time non-recurring costs, the adjusted operating loss for the first quarter of 2026 was$1.1 million .
- Net Loss: Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was
$46.4 million or ($0.48) per diluted share compared to net loss of approximately$145,000 or$(10.57) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusting for the non-cash and one-time costs discussed above, adjusted net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was$2.9 million , or ($0.03) per diluted share.
- Cash and Cash Equivalents: As of March 31, 2026, the Company had
$16.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, coupled with restricted cash of$5.4 million and escrow receivable balance of$5.0 million , resulting in total liquidity availability of$26.9 million . This is compared to approximately$27.5 million of total liquidity at December 31, 2025. AVAX One believes its cash balance provides approximately three years of operating runway without the need to raise external capital.
Operational Highlights
- Announced strategic initiative in April 2026 to develop a 10 MW AI/HPC micro-grid data center in Alberta, including execution of a Front End Engineering & Design (“FEED”) proposal with BlueFlare Energy Solutions, Inc. (“BlueFlare”) to advance the Company’s modular, power-first digital infrastructure strategy.
- Executed Letter of Intent with BlueFlare for the development of an initial 10 MW Tier 3-ready AI/HPC powered land site in Alberta, with expected readiness for end-client deployment in Q1 2027, formally expanding AVAX One into scalable, behind-the-meter digital infrastructure designed to support accelerating AI and high-performance computing demand.
- Advanced Alberta AI/HPC powered land program from conceptual design into detailed engineering and AESO-ready deliverables through the engagement of BlueFlare as infrastructure development partner, the selection of ASCENT Consulting as the Owner’s Engineer for the initial 10 MW data center, and expansion of the Company’s Western Canada powered land pipeline targeting future deployments ranging from 5 MW to 50+ MW per site.
- Expanded Bitcoin mining capacity through the acquisition of 220 Bitmain S21 Pro ASIC miners, increasing Alberta hash rate capacity by approximately
33% from roughly 150 PH/s to more than 200 PH/s, which increases the Company’s overall hash rate capacity to more than 300 PH/s. - Repurchased approximately 3.5 million shares of its common stock through its previously authorized
$40 million share repurchase program. - Expanded Avalanche digital asset treasury to approximately 14.0 million AVAX, with over
90% actively staked, generating an annualized yield of approximately6% . - Achieved a current annualized revenue run rate of over
$11.0 million , with more than$7.0 million from AVAX staking rewards and over$4.0 million from Bitcoin mining operations, based on the average digital asset prices during the first quarter of 2026.
Kahn added, “Looking ahead, we are focused on advancing the technical and development milestones associated with our Alberta powered land program, including building a broader pipeline of powered land opportunities across Western Canada. While our digital asset treasury strategy remains an important component of the business, our primary objective is to establish a scalable infrastructure platform that provides public market investors differentiated exposure to both the accelerating compute and growing onchain financial economy.”
