In its fourth quarter of 2025 it boosted its Bitcoin ($BTC) holdings, Coinbase said in a statement that it had increased its shares. The exchange said in its 8-K report submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it increased its Bitcoin position by $39 million over the past quarter of last year through regular weekly purchases.
However, the company still holds Bitcoin as a long-term asset on its balance sheet even though market fluctuations are changing, according to Coinbase’s statement. Such an ongoing buy-and-buy strategy seeks to reduce the impact of price volatility, based on a method known in the crypto market as the “average cost” approach.
As of December 31, 2025, the company’s report states that as of 31 December 2016, Coinbase has a fair market value of crypto assets held by its own investments at $2 billion. Moreover, the fair value of crypto assets held as collateral is recorded at $823 million.
According to these data, Coinbase is still a more than just s trading platform; it remains one of the institutional players with large crypto assets on its balance sheet. A major sign of the company’s long-term expectations for crypto market is purchases, especially in Bitcoin.
The recent $BTC purchases by Coinbase in the past quarter have reignited debate over whether institutional companies are still accumulating in crypto at low points.
