Brett Tejpaul, the Head of Institutional Sales, Trading, Custody, and Prime Services at Coinbase made these revelations in a blog post.
Bitcoin treasury
Coinbase added that its plans to maintain its investments in cryptocurrencies as it believes in their long-term potential.“Since our founding in 2012, Coinbase has held bitcoin and other crypto assets on our balance sheet — and we plan to maintain an investment in crypto assets as we believe strongly in the long-term potential of the cryptoeconomy,” wrote Tejpaul.
However, Coinbase did not specify how much they have invested in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
This seems to be the first time that the exchange has publicly disclosed its investments in cryptoassets. It may not come as a surprise to many people because it is a cryptocurrency exchange and its core business is crypto assets.
The exchange ended up developing investment, accounting, and tax policies to handle its balance sheet that contains crypto investments.
Coinbase said that it is happy if others can benefit from its experience.
A business opportunity
The revelation couldn’t have come at a better time for the exchange as major companies, both public and private, seem to have an appetite for converting a portion of the balance sheet into bitcoin.“Institutions across the board are building for a future that is protected from new risks,” said Tejpaul.
“This includes building a diverse balance sheet that is adequately hedged from the traditional capital markets and monetary debasement,” he continued.
This address to other corporations also emphasizes the complications that companies can face when investing in bitcoins.
Cryptocurrencies are no longer just being used as investment assets but for much more.
“On the corporate side, use cases for digital assets are expanding rapidly from traditional portfolio management as an investment asset within a diversified portfolio — to accounts receivable/accounts payable, employee payroll, and commerce integration, for example.”
Coinbase has the capacity
Tejpaul said that the exchange has “executed nine and ten-figure trades for some of the largest institutions in the world,” although he did not give names.Coinbase has helped Tesla and MicroStrategy buy bitcoins, and these two companies alone have spent more than $3.5 billion for the purchases.

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.
