Mastercard posted second quarter 2026 results above Wall Street expectations, with earnings per share of approximately $4.77 on revenue of $9.06 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 11.4% for revenue and 14.9% for EPS. The company launched its Crypto Partner Program in March 2026, connecting over 100 crypto firms to its payments infrastructure. In June 2026, Mastercard expanded its settlement capabilities to support regulated stablecoins USDC, PYUSD, and RLUSD for on-chain transactions, operating around the clock including weekends and holidays. The company does not hold tokens, does not speculate on prices, and does not operate exchanges, but is embedding blockchain-native settlement into the same infrastructure that processes billions of card transactions.
