Reddit, a popular social media platform, has filed the draft paperwork with the SEC for going public with an IPO. As disclosed in its S-1 registration statement, Reddit recently injected some excess cash holds in Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The company also noted that it acquired Ether and Polygon’s MATIC tokens as a form of payment for certain virtual goods sales. Reddit said it may continue making crypto purchases as part of its strategy to integrate blockchain technology and offer alternative payment options.
According to the filing, Reddit’s crypto holdings were minor relative to the periods presented. The net carrying value of its cryptocurrency, largely Bitcoin and Ether, was labeled as immaterial.
Reddit’s Board approved investments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptos not registered as securities but that still are to be defined by regulators. Crypto investments were available in only Bitcoin and Ether until the end of 2023.
Moreover, Digital assets have various purposes beyond the purposes of the Treasury. These include product and engineering teams with their specific use case examples. Reddit aims to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the stock ticker RDDT.
