Coinbase Plans to Expand Bitcoin Holdings, Introduce Tokenized Equities and Prediction Markets in the United States.
Coinbase announced that it acquired 2,509 BTC in Q2 2025 and plans to expand its Bitcoin assets. The cryptocurrency exchange has also outlined an “everything exchange” for users in the US, which will provide a diverse array of crypto services, including tokenized stocks.
CEO Brian Armstrong shared on X on Thursday that the exchange is continuing to purchase more Bitcoin.
“Coinbase is long Bitcoin. Our holding increased by 2,509 BTC in Q2, and we keep buying more.”

With the addition of 2,509 BTC (valued at $290 million) in Q2, Coinbase entered the top 10 of public companies holding Bitcoin, surpassing Tesla. Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency exchange reported underwhelming results for the second quarter, causing its shares to drop over 9% in after-hours trading.
As per the Coinbase shareholder letter released on Thursday, the exchange recorded total revenue of $1.5 billion in Q2, falling short of the $1.59 billion that analysts had anticipated.
This comes after a robust performance from competitor Robinhood, which announced revenue of $989 million, marking a 45% increase year-on-year, exceeding analysts’ expectations of $908 million.
