FAQ
How is Bitcoin exposure per Coinbase share calculated?
It equals the total Bitcoin holdings of Coinbase divided by its shares outstanding. The calculator uses live holdings, live shares outstanding, and the current Bitcoin price to show the figure now and your total exposure for the shares entered.
Do Coinbase shares give direct Bitcoin ownership?
No. The company holds the Bitcoin on its balance sheet. Shareholders have a claim on the company, not a direct claim on the Bitcoin. The calculator estimates look-through exposure only.
Is Coinbase a Bitcoin treasury company?
Not in the same sense as Strategy. Coinbase is a crypto exchange whose value comes mainly from trading and platform revenue. It holds only a small amount of Bitcoin as corporate investments.
Why is COIN Bitcoin exposure per share small?
Because Coinbase is valued as an exchange, not a Bitcoin holding company. Its market value is large relative to the Bitcoin it holds, so the Bitcoin exposure per share is a tiny fraction of a coin.
