  In the income statement of cryptocurrency businesses, the key components are revenue, expenses, gross profit, operating profit, and net profit. Revenue can come from various sources such as trading fees, mining rewards, or token sales. Expenses include costs related to mining equipment, electricity, salaries, marketing, and compliance. Gross profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from revenue. Operating profit is obtained by deducting operating expenses from gross profit. Net profit is the final result after accounting for taxes and other non-operating expenses. Capital expenditures (capex) are investments made by cryptocurrency businesses in assets such as mining hardware or infrastructure. Capex is not directly included in the income statement but is recorded on the balance sheet. It affects profitability indirectly through depreciation and operational costs. BYDFi, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, also follows similar principles in its income statement and considers capex as part of its overall financial strategy.
