No, Circle Internet is currently not making money — the company is losing money with a negative profit margin of -2.8%, a small loss. That means the business loses money on every dollar of revenue. The operating margin, however, is positive at 6.5% — the core business makes money; the loss comes from financing costs, taxes or one-off items.

Can Circle Internet go bankrupt?
Altman Z2 is not used for banks and financial companies — their balance sheet is built on debt (that is the business model), so the model would wrongly classify a healthy bank as distressed.

Does Circle Internet have a lot of debt?
Yes, Circle Internet has elevated debt relative to equity. The debt-to-equity ratio (D/E — interest-bearing debt to equity) is 7,934%. For the financiel service sector, anything above 150% counts as elevated — that raises the financial risk, especially if interest rates rise or earnings fall. Note: D/E levels are highly sector-specific — a bank at 300% debt is normal, a tech stock at 300% is extremely leveraged. Always compare with similar companies in the same sector.
