Uniswap Foundation reports $140M in Q1 revenue, $12.4M committed to new grants

The Uniswap Foundation announced $140.3 million in revenue and $12.4 million in new grant commitments in its Q1 2025 financial report. A report by Uniswap ( UNI ) Foundation on May 23 stated that the majority of the revenue came from a $140 million donation that was authorized by Uniswap governance, with the remainder coming from interest and dividends. As of Mar. 31, the Foundation held $53.4 million in USD and stablecoins, 15.8 million UNI tokens, and 257 Ethereum ( ETH ), totaling about $95 million. Another 5 million UNI was used as collateral for a $29 million loan, giving the Foundation access to cash while limiting market impact. A total of $115.1 million has been set aside for grants, $99.8 million for 2025 and 2026, and $15.3 million for earlier commitments. The Foundation also earmarked $33.3 million to cover operations and staff compensation through January 2027. Of the $12.4 million in new Q1 grants, $9.9 million was dedicated to multi-year programs running through 2029. Some grants include repayment options from Unichain Partners, depending on performance goals.

Excluding $100,000 in UNI tokens given to staff, operating costs for the quarter came to $1.9 million. Expenses included marketing, software, events, legal and consulting fees, and salaries.
