FTMO paid over 8.79 billion Czech koruna (about $422 million at today’s exchange rate) to acquire OANDA last year, according to its annual filings. CVC, the previous owner of OANDA, bought the broker in 2018 for $160 million.

The prop firm decided to acquire OANDA from CVC early last year, and the deal was closed on 1 December 2025. Finance Magnates earlier reported that FTMO’s parent company secured a $250 million line of credit from a syndicate of Czech banks led by UniCredit last November for the deal.

Returning Clients Are the Revenue Generators

The parent company of FTMO, OHM, closed 2025 with consolidated revenue of 8.9 billion Czech koruna (about $427 million), a 30 per cent increase year-on-year. The growth was driven overwhelmingly by FTMO's core prop trading operations, where paid orders rose nearly 50 per cent to 1.27 million over the year.

Returning clients now account for close to 80 per cent of FTMO's total revenue, giving the business a stable and predictable income base, while the average value of each subsequent customer order continues to climb.

US Is FTMO’s Second Biggest Market

The Group's expansion into the US market marked one of the year's most significant strategic developments. Through its partnership with OANDA, the United States became FTMO's second-largest market, trailing only the United Kingdom.

FTMO launched prop services in the US last year, partnering with OANDA even before the acquisition deal was closed, after its exit from the market in early 2024. It's now the only prop firm in the country to offer the MetaTrader 5 platform, which it can do because of OANDA’s licensed business there.

The Group's balance sheet also expanded substantially over the course of the year. Total consolidated assets reached 30.7 billion Czech koruna (about $1.47 billion) as of 31 December 2025, reflecting both organic investment in FTMO's core business and the consolidation of OANDA's sizeable asset base following the deal's completion. Consolidated equity stood at 13 billion Czech koruna (about $625 million) at year-end, giving the Group a solid capital foundation as it pursues further strategic growth.
