Q3 gain = the change in fair value of bitcoin for the three months ended September 30, 2026 on the line item shown, in US dollars (some filings state thousands, some whole dollars). All of these companies use fair-value accounting, so changes in bitcoin’s price flow through the income statement. The lines are not identical: some include realized results, some cover options or a receivable, and some sit in operating expense and others in other income; notes are in the Source column and the entries. Line items follow the choices in the Q2 post.2 Bitcoin’s UTC closes were $58,559 on June 30 and $83,554 on September 30, 2026.1 Not included: Silvia, GD Culture Group, CleanSpark and other companies that had not filed a comparable Q3 report by November 13; Gemini Space Station, whose 10-Q gives two mixed crypto lines (a $135.9 million gain on all crypto assets and a $110.2 million loss on related-party crypto loans) and no bitcoin-only figure; Tesla and SpaceX (no comparable three-month bitcoin figure); and companies that file outside the 10-Q. Observed facts from filings, not a forecast.
