Coinbase To Invest 10% of All Future Profits In Crypto (theblockcrypto.com) 22
According to a tweet from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, the brokerage firm is planning to purchase more than $500 million worth of cryptocurrency on its balance sheet. It's also going to be investing 10% of all future profits in crypto. The Block reports: "I expect this percentage to keep growing over time as this crypto economy matures," Armstrong said. A blog penned by Coinbase's chief financial officer Alesia Haas indicated that the purchase would include Ethereum as well as other assets tied to the decentralized financial world.
"We have committed to invest $500M of our cash and cash equivalents," Haas wrote. "We will become the first publicly traded company to hold Ethereum, Proof of Stake assets, DeFi tokens, and many other crypto assets supported for trading on our platform, in addition to Bitcoin, on our balance sheet," she added.

It's not that hard, but it's understandable they weren't doing it 3000 years ago without knowledge. Experience is key. When you take the bricks from the bottom, you have to make sure the bricks on top don't move that's all you have to do. Once you've got that, it works perfectly.

So why not invest 100% if crypto is so great? Considering their entire operation is based on crypto, you'd think they would trust it more.

Besides, the business of Coinbase is not in holding cryptocurrencies but rather enabling the trading. They mostly make their profit from the transactions users/investors do in their platform and not from holding such assets.
The best part of their idea is that they won't need to convert any fiat to cryptocurrencies since they can take the fees of transactions directly in the cryptocurrency in which they want to invest.

There's like a 1,000 different currencies, is that not diversified enough?
I know what and why they're doing it of course, I'm just poking fun at the fact that the company making money off people investing and trading cryptocurrency isn't investing heavily in cryptocurrency itself.

they burst. This is a tiny amount compared to the overall market, but it's a very large lump sum to drop in all at once, and the PR is probably worth even more than the cash value.
On top of that, we know plenty of shitcoins are vulnerable to 51% stake, and some even less, so it's arguably an investment in the company's markets' stability (or a way to influence it, if you're more paranoid).
So that's 2-3 (or 2.xx, if you prefer) birds with one stone. Seems pretty smart to me.
It's also the second time in well
