Prop Firm Goat Funded Trader Says It Paid $26 Million to 22,279 of 1.2 Million Traders

Goat Funded Trader opened its payout and trading data to the public yesterday (Tuesday), declaring $26.16 million paid to 22,279 traders. The prop trading company, known as GFT, also added QR codes that let anyone check the certificates it issues to traders.

Payout totals are the main figure prop firms compete on. Most are self-reported. FundedNext, the largest payer in on-chain data, said in September that its cumulative payouts had passed $350 million, a figure that has not been audited.

Deloitte Reviews and Self-Reported Counters

Few prop firms have brought in an outside accountant. Hola Prime hired Deloitte to review its payouts from October 2025 to March 2026, and said 98.35% of withdrawals in that period cleared within an hour.

FundedNext said in September it was working with Deloitte on a review of its payout data, without giving the scope. FTMO, which puts its lifetime payouts above $650 million, has not published audited breakdowns.

Third-party trackers cover part of the market. Prop Firm Match counted about $325 million paid in 2025, using data shared by the firms themselves, while Payout Junction reads only payments Payments One of the bases of mediums of exchange in the modern world, a payment constitutes the transfer of a legal currency or equivalent from one party in exchange for goods or services to another entity.

What GFT's Dashboard Shows

The page lists 43,883 individual rewards, the largest $40,152, and a median of 62.9 hours to clear one. GFT said a further $3.17 million went out before its current tracking system started and is not in the total.

The company reported more than $7 million in payouts in January 2025, while it was moving its operations to Hong Kong.

According to the dashboard, 1.2 million people have signed up, 594,997 have bought at least one paid challenge and 28,859 funded accounts were live early today (Wednesday).

Instant-funding accounts, which skip the evaluation stage, took $5.01 billion of the $6.75 billion in notional capital GFT says it has allocated. The capital is simulated, and the company's disclaimer describes its accounts as demo accounts.

In a post on X, GFT said its payouts were "tracked through Prop Firm Match, Payout Junction, and Trading Pilot."

The dashboard republishes Payout Junction's 30-day ranking, which put GFT fourth on Tuesday with $1.59 million in on-chain payouts. FundedNext led with $18 million, ahead of The5ers at $3.64 million and FundingPips at $3.02 million.

The on-chain count leaves out bank and card payouts. Tracked crypto payouts from the 10 largest prop firms reached $115 million in Q1 2026, FM Intelligence data show.

One Rewarded Trader for Every 27 Buyers

The figures also allow a rough conversion rate. The 22,279 rewarded traders equal about 3.7% of the 594,997 who paid for a challenge, a share that leaves out traders paid before the current tracking began.

Data from technology vendor FPFX Tech in 2024 showed about 7% of traders at 10 prop firms reaching a payout, measured on a different basis.

The dashboard's totals work out to about $596 per reward. A banner at the top of the same page shows an average reward of $2,180.

On the trading side, the page shows $6.4 billion in simulated profits and $7.97 billion in simulated losses, a net loss of $1.57 billion across 108.5 million positions.

Gold made up 69.2% of trades on paid accounts over the past 30 days. Some prop firms have banned gold as rising prices strained payout structures.

Paid challenge accounts that closed in the past 90 days lasted a median 17.2 days before passing, failing or expiring. GFT said a further feature, Clarity cards, would go live on Wednesday.
