Helium Network Reports Strong Q3 Growth Driven by Buyback and Burn Strategy
Helium Network has experienced significant growth in Q3 2025, driven by its innovative buyback and burn strategy for subscriber revenue. According to Messari’s latest report, the annualized revenue surged to $18.3 million following the implementation of this strategy in August. The network saw a remarkable 196% increase in average daily data credit burns, reaching $30,920, while the user base expanded by 35% to 1.2 million daily users. The price of HNT also rose by 7.8% as the circulating market cap climbed to $453.9 million, reflecting heightened investor interest and network utility.
The pivotal decision to burn 100% of Helium Mobile’s MVNO subscription revenue has proven to be a game-changer. Messari reported that the Mobile Network accounted for 99.6% of daily data credit burns, which contributed to a record monthly revenue of $1.5 million. This translates to an annualized figure of $18.3 million, showcasing the growing adoption of Helium’s services. Additionally, paid mobile traffic increased by 57.3% from the previous quarter, reaching 32.4 TB per day, while cumulative offloaded data through telecom partnerships doubled to 5,451 TB, highlighting the success of the Carrier Offload Program.
User growth and network expansion have been further bolstered by promotional offers and technical updates. Helium Mobile’s user base grew by 35.4% quarter-over-quarter, with account signups increasing by 48%. The governance change under HIP-147, which redirected 60% of emissions to reward actual data transfer, has aligned emissions with network activity, ensuring that data throughput remains a key performance driver. Furthermore, the launch of Helium Plus has broadened infrastructure accessibility, allowing businesses and public Wi-Fi providers to join the network. Analysts believe that Helium’s dual strategy of expanding coverage while burning revenue positions it well for sustained growth into 2026.
