Quick Take

  • Coinbase disclosed it purchased 2,509 BTC in Q2 for approximately $222 million amid declining trading volume and revenue for the quarter.
  • Coinbase also announced plans to offer tokenized stocks and prediction markets in the U.S. as part of its “everything exchange” expansion.
"Coinbase is long bitcoin," CEO Brian Armstrong declared on X following the crypto exchange's Q2 earnings report late Thursday, disclosing it had bought an additional 2,509 BTC during the quarter at a cost of approximately $222 million.
That takes the firm's total bitcoin holdings to 11,776 BTC as of June 30, bought for a total cost of $740 million. "Our holding increased by 2,509 BTC in Q2, and we keep buying more," Armstrong said. Coinbase's stack is currently valued at around $1.3 billion, implying around $614 million of paper gains.

Wow!!! Didn’t expect this! Coinbase really fumbled the sat here. They could have been light years ahead of any company if they adopted this strategy years ago

Yeh! I think a few years back they said they’d be buying like 10% of the profits or something like that.
edit:
Coinbase will buy $500M in crypto and invest 10% of all future profits in digital assets
