Coinbase Invests $500 Million Into Various Digital Assets
Aiming to increase investments into crypto assets, Coinbase has updated its investment policy.
An official blog post by Coinbase, the leading cryptocurrency exchange, revealed that it has decided to make a change in its investment policy towards greater digital asset involvement. The exchange reported that the decision was made after observing the “majority” of Coinbase corporate financial transactions, such as paying vendors, employees and investing corporate cash, which was heavily weighted in fiat.
The official blog post also revealed that Coinbase’s new strategy is committed to investing $500 Million of its cash equivalents and existing cash, as well as 10% of its future quarterly net income, in digital assets: “Going forward, we will also allocate 10% of quarterly net income into this same portfolio.”
Moreover, Coinbase claims the shift in the policy makes them the first publicly traded company to hold BTC, ETH, DeFi tokens, Proof of Stake Assets, and various crypto assets supported by their exchanges on their balance sheet. Besides, the company will allocate its investments based upon “total custodial crypto balances,” which means that the customer’s decision-making will hold some role in the company’s investment strategy.
Further, Coinbase intends to deploy its investment over a multi-year span using dollar-cost averaging. Meanwhile, the release describes the company’s mindset as “long-term investors” which will only divest under selected circumstances, such as an asset being delisted. Coinbase will execute trades via their over-the-counter desk to avoid a conflict of interest with their users.
