Luxury Focus: Bentley Bets On High-End Buyers Amid Revenue Challenges

by News Editor

March 24, 2025

Bentley, the prestigious British automaker under Volkswagen’s umbrella, has announced a significant drop in annual revenue, recording its lowest figures since 2020 due to a challenging global market in 2024. The company’s operating profit fell 37% to $407 million from the previous year’s $589 million, and total revenue dipped 10%, reaching $2.9 billion compared to $3.2 billion in 2023.

Emphasizing Luxury Over Quantity

Despite these challenges, Bentley remains optimistic, shifting its focus to ‘value over volume.’ This strategy has led to a 10% increase in revenue per car, fueled by demand from high-end customers seeking bespoke features. A stunning example is Bentley’s bespoke ‘Black Rose’ Batur, featuring custom black rose paint, matching interiors, and luxurious details like 210 grams of 18-karat rose gold.

Market Conditions And Strategic Response

China, a key market for Bentley, presents ongoing challenges, while potential U.S. tariffs could impact pricing strategies. Nevertheless, Bentley hasn’t seen a drop in orders despite economic uncertainties and market fluctuations.

A Drive Toward Electrification

Looking to the future, Bentley is committed to electrification with plans to introduce its first electric vehicle by 2026. The company aims to expand its electric and hybrid offerings, targeting an all-electric lineup by 2035, aligning with global sustainable trends.

SEC Dismisses Legal Action Against Gemini

The Securities and Exchange Commission has formally withdrawn its lawsuit against Gemini, the prominent crypto exchange founded by twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. The move follows a joint court filing in which both the regulator and Gemini sought dismissal of the case that centered on the collapse of the Gemini Earn investment product, a debacle that left investors without access to their funds for 18 months.

Settlement And Regulatory Reassessment

In a significant development, a 2024 settlement between New York and Gemini ensured that investors recovered one hundred percent of their crypto assets loaned through the Gemini Earn program. The legal reprieve comes on the heels of actions initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who accused Gemini of defrauding investors.

Political Backdrop And Industry Implications

This dismissal reinforces a broader trend of regulatory leniency toward the crypto sector noted during the Trump administration, which saw the SEC dismiss, pause, or reduce penalties in more than 60 percent of its pending crypto lawsuits. Meanwhile, Gemini’s recent public offering filing underscores its ambitions to solidify its status as a major player in the evolving digital asset market.
