NEW YORK, May 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Bakkt Holdings, Inc. ('Bakkt' or the 'Company') (NYSE: BKKT) and reminds investors of the June 2, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.
Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.
As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) the stability and/or diversity of its crypto services revenue was misrepresented; (2) failed to disclose Bakkt's Crypto services revenue was substantially dependent on a single contract with Webull; (3) misrepresented its ability to maintain key client relationships. As a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
On March 17, 2025, after market close, Bakkt disclosed Webull was terminating its commercial agreement with the Company, effective June 14, 2025. The Company revealed that in the prior nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the full year ended December 31, 2023, Webull made up 74% of Bakkt's crypto services revenue. In that same period, the Company derived 98% of its revenue from crypto services. The Company also disclosed that Bank of America was terminating its loyalty services contract with the Company, effective April 22, 2025. The Company revealed Bank of America made up 17% of Bakkt's loyalty services revenue in the prior nine months ended September 30, 2024. The customer cancellations will collectively result in a 73% loss in top line revenue going forward.
On this news, the Company's share price fell $3.50 or 27.3%, to close at $9.33 per share on March 18, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Bakkt's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Bagel shop inside Dearborn Ford dealership gains cult following
Inside the Village Ford Parts and Service Center in Dearborn, Michigan, you can get more than just new tires and an oil change. Through the doors and to your left is Brazen Bagels. "New York-style delicatessen. All traditional. All correct," said Jacob Anson, co-owner of Brazen Bagels. Brazen Bagels has been operating in this space for two years. "We've done very well, and Dearborn just wrapped their arms around us like they've embraced us entirely," Anson said. Anson says his wife, Megan, is the inspiration behind the business. "My wife, she likes bagels. I was trying to get her a good one," Anson said. After developing the perfect recipe, the couple started selling bagels from home and at a local pop-up. "Everything I didn't sell, I took to businesses all around me. Just try my bagels," Anson said. One of those businesses was Village Ford. "They got a great product, and we needed to get somebody in here for our dealership. And it was just a perfect opportunity," said Jay Sturtz, general sales manager of Village Ford. Word has spread, and now there's a devoted following of regular customers. "I just stumbled in here, and I saw this sign outside and came in and tried it. The best bagels I ever had," said Ahmad Hammoud, owner of Big Red's Barbeque Pit. "Him and his wife are great people, so I will support them forever." In 2024, the shop hosted a fundraiser for humanitarian aid in Lebanon. "They support our community, and we have to make sure that as residents of Dearborn, residents of Metro Detroit, we support any business that is supporting the community," said Amer Zhar, a regular customer. Anson arrives at work at 4 a.m. and says Brazen Bagels focuses on quality. "I start rolling. I'm rolling all day until close. I'm baking and rolling about 120 dozen a week. I just keep it moving, and my team is amazing," Anson said. "Everything's very intentional and simple, no frills, no gimmicks, brown paper bag, like the sandwich is the star. The ingredients are organic, with halal options on the menu. "We're a husband and wife company based on quality, nothing else, and everything's organically grown. You probably heard about us. You probably didn't, you probably didn't see, like, a social media campaign or a big sign or anything, but just believe the hype," Anson said. If you're at Village Ford for an oil change or just hungry for some good food, come check out Brazen Bagels.

IRS quiet on payment processing delays despite more reports of bills being sent for taxes paid
IRS quiet on payment processing delays despite more reports of bills sent for taxes paid IRS quiet on payment processing delays despite more reports of bills sent for taxes paid IRS quiet on payment processing delays despite more reports of bills sent for taxes paid Despite continuing reports of taxpayers receiving bills from the IRS for taxes they already paid on time, the agency has remained quiet about the problem and when it could be resolved. CBS News Chicago has been checking in daily with the IRS for the past week about the processing delays as more people say they are getting IRS notices. Jasmine Walton and her family had to pay $7,000 in taxes this year. It was a painful bill to deal with once, but twice? "I will tell you, initially it sent us into a little bit of a panic," she said. "We are counting every penny that leaves our household, so to tell us we owe additional thousands on top of thousands we've paid already? It almost sent us into a tizzy." Adding insult to injury, the bill the Waltons got from the IRS already had penalties and fines tacked onto it, even though they paid what they owed before the April 15 deadline and the money hasn't been in their account since. "Watching that news segment and finding out we were not alone did give us some resolve," Walton said. Like so many others we've heard from since first exposing this IRS issue last week, Walton learned she was part of a bigger problem through CBS News Chicago reporting. An IRS agent told our producer, who was also impacted by the mistake, their electronic payment system I experiencing delays processing money sent in by April 15. They said they should be caught up by June 29, and made assurances penalties and interest would be erased. But why is this happening, and for transparency's sake, why isn't the information being shared directly from the IRS online? "Update your website," Walton said. "It takes a marginal amount of time to put a nice banner up there saying we are behind you may receive communication in error." An Inspector General for Tax Inspection report released this spring detailed an 11% reduction of staff at the IRS, with about 7,000 of those workers being probationary and thus possibly have had their jobs restored. But despite asking the IRS about that, we have yet to receive any clarification. "My ask is for them to fix it," Walton said. We were originally told the IRS would "hopefully" have information to share last Wednesday, but nothing has been sent to us since. CBS News Chicago talked with an IRS spokesperson by phone Tuesday and they told us they're still working on a response to our questions and requests. They have not provided a timeline for when those responses would be ready. We asked U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Illinois ) if she has heard from her constituents about this issue and she responded with a statement, writing, "My office has seen increased response times from federal agencies like the IRS for months now – and thanks to the effects of unnecessary and damaging DOGE cuts, it's likely to only get worse in the years to come. If Illinoisans are having issues with a federal agency like IRS, I urge them to contact my office so we can help them get the money they're owed or reverse any unfair penalties caused by these delays."
