Coinbase to sell over $1 billion in convertible debt

US-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase became a publicly-listed company over a month ago. Since then, the company’s stock price has underperformed. It dropped below the $250 mark after reaching an initial all-time high of $429.

Coinbase is now planning to sell $1.25 billion in convertible debt. The company will sell senior convertible notes due in 2026. These are debt securities with an option to convert into an amount of the issuer's shares. The notes have priority over other securities and offer investors a change to earn interest. However, these types of interest payments tend to accumulate and increase over time.

Additionally, these bonds can be converted to Class A common stock which would give owners more voting rights. Typically, these are not sold to the public and can't be traded. The option would be available only if COIN attains a set strike price.

Notes are an opportunity to strengthen balance sheet

"This capital raise represents an opportunity to bolster Coinbase's already strong balance sheet with low-cost capital that maintains operating freedom and minimizes dilution for Coinbase's stockholders," Coinbase said in a statement.

Coinbase added that “The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Coinbase, will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears and will mature on June 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The notes will be convertible into cash, shares of Coinbase’s Class A common stock, or a combination thereof, at Coinbase’s election. The interest rate, initial conversion rate, and other terms of the notes are to be determined upon pricing of the offering.”

The cryptocurrency exchange intends to engage in privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial buyers. The calls are expected to cover the number of shares of Coinbase’s Class A common stock underlying the amount of notes sold in the offering.

Coinbase still considered a strong company despite stock price decrease

Coinbase’s stock has experienced a massive decline in price since it launched on the NASDAQ stock exchange roughly a month ago. It began trading around $380 and went to an all-time high of $429 within hours. However, the price has been declining ever since, and it recently dipped below the $250 mark.

Despite the stock price dip, analysts expect the company to lead the cryptocurrency space. Senior Research Analyst Richard Repetto of investment firm Piper Sandler rates Coinbase as overweight. An analyst's rating of overweight suggests that the stock will likely perform above the average return of the industry over the next eight to 12 months.

According to Repetto, the crypto exchange has the potential to lead the cryptocurrency market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
