On Oct. 31, the company is estimated to hold 14,548 BTC on its balance sheet or equal to around $1.6 billion based on current market prices.<\/p>\n<p>This increase in BTC holdings places Coinbase at number 9 on the top 10 list of corporate Bitcoin holders, beating out firms like CleanSpark, Tesla, Hut8, Block and Galaxy Digital on the board.<\/p>\n<p>On average, each Bitcoin held by the exchange is valued at $71,465. Having held the asset since Dec. 31, 2020, the exchange\u2019s BTC holdings have yielded a profit of 53.47%.

With its stock price at $328.51, having dipped slightly by 5.77% in the past 24 hours, this means that the market is valuing the company at about 52.5 times the value of its BTC trove.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in the world, has an mNAV of 1.04x based on basic market value. This means that more of its value is represented in Bitcoin holdings compared to Coinbase.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, conditions might change if Coinbase decides to get braver with their BTC accumulation. Compared to its Q1 and Q2 BTC purchases, Q3 marks the largest amount of BTC bought this year at 2,772 BTC. Meanwhile, the last time the company sold its holdings was at the end of 2024, when it offloaded 2,478 BTC.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coinbase earnings rise by 25% in Q3 2025<\/h2>\n<p>Most recently, Coinbase revealed in its third-quarter earnings report that it has reached a total revenue of $1.9 billion. This number has gone up 25% compared to the previous quarter. Its strong earnings were attributed to favorable market conditions as well as a result of its current expansion strategy.<\/p>\n<p>As of late, the exchange has been expanding on its \u201cEverything Exchange\u201d vision by adding more products to its platform, including derivatives, stablecoins, and institution products. On the other hand, it has cited the rise of Bitcoin and regulatory advancements made by the Trump administration as factors that have improved market conditions. <\/p>\n<p>In addition, the company has also benefitted from more mainstream adoption of crypto among institutional players. This quarter, institutional trading activity on Coinbase rose by 22% from the prior quarter, reaching $236 billion. <\/p>\n<p>The acquisition of Deribit, which generated $52 million in revenue and strengthened Coinbase\u2019s global options and futures operations, subsequently fueled a 122% boost in institutional transaction revenue to $135 million.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong shared that the company is going \u2018long\u2019 on Bitcoin, revealing that the firm\u2019s BTC holdings have increased by 2,772 BTC and will continue to grow.
