Coinbase, one of the world’s biggest crypto exchanges, revealed that it bought 2,509 more Bitcoins in the second quarter of 2025. This purchase cost around $222 million.
Data from Bitcoin Treasuries shows that Coinbase’s total holdings now reached 11,776 BTC, worth about $1.3 billion today, giving it a paper profit of about $614 million. With this move, Coinbase has now entered the top 10 list of public companies holding Bitcoin, passing Tesla, which owns 11,509 BTC. Other major holders include MicroStrategy, Marathon (MARA), and Tether-backed Twenty One.
Coinbase previously held 9,267 BTC as of the end of Q1, and it was ranked in 13th place. It’s important to note that this Bitcoin is held by Coinbase for its use, not for its customers. In total, Coinbase holds around 884,388 BTC (worth $102 billion) on behalf of customers through trading and custody services.
Coinbase’s “Everything Exchange” Vision
Coinbase has recently set ambitious plans to become an “everything exchange” for U.S users to expand beyond just cryptocurrency trading. It aims to offer everything from tokenized stocks and prediction markets to early-stage token sales.
This puts Coinbase directly against trading platforms such as Robinhood, Kraken, and Gemini as well as prediction market startup platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket. As said by VP of Product Max Branzburg, the target is to consolidate all asset types under one on-chain platform, with rollout due to take place sometime in the next few months.
Coinbase Q2 Result
Despite its bold expansion plans, Coinbase had a tough quarter financially in some areas. The company reported a $307 million loss due to a security breach, where offshore support agents were allegedly bribed to leak sensitive user data.
In terms of performance:
- Spot trading volume fell 30% from Q1, down to $237 billion.
- Total revenue dropped 26%.
- Transaction revenue fell 39%.
However, Coinbase still posted a huge net income of $1.43 billion, much higher than the $66 million in the previous quarter. Much of this increase came from resilient performance in exchange-traded fund (ETF) custody and expansion of its Ethereum Layer 2 network, Base, which is still drawing in developers and users.
Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ: COIN) experienced its stock fall by 15.21% today, closing at $320.30, a steep fall of $57.46. The fall was even despite robust net income, possibly on account of worries over declining revenues as well as the recent data breach.
