Coinbase On Following MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Playbook: Looking For 'Opportunities,' Says CFO, But Highlights Key Difference Between The Two Companies
"You can see more detail in our filings, but we hold Bitcoin in addition to Ethereum and a mix of other cryptocurrency assets. These are intended to be long-term investments," Haas added. Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) said it wants to expand its cryptocurrency investment portfolio and emphasized that assets held on its books, including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), are intended to be retained for the long term
Coinbase Global Inc.（納斯達克：COIN）表示希望擴大其加密貨幣投資組合，並強調其資產持有包括比特幣（加密：BTC），打算長揸
What Happened: During the company's third-quarter 2024 earnings call, the management was asked whether they would pursue a reserve strategy akin to MicroStrategy, a Bitcoin investment company, with over $18 billion worth of the asset on its balance sheet.
事件經過：在公司2024年第三季度業績會上，管理層被問及是否會像比特幣投資公司MicroStrategy那樣追求儲備策略，後者在其資產負債表上擁有超過180億美元的資產。
Alesia Haas, the Chief Financial Officer, informed that the company does maintain a cryptocurrency investment portfolio on its balance sheet, the fair market value of which was about $1.3 billion at the end of the third quarter. This amounted to nearly a quarter of Coinbase's total cash balance.
致富金融（臨時代碼）首席財務官艾麗西婭·哈斯（Alesia Haas）表示，公司確實在其資產負債表上持有一份加密貨幣投資組合，其公允市場價值在第三季度末約爲13億美元。這幾乎相當於Coinbase總現金餘額的四分之一。
"You can see more detail in our filings, but we hold Bitcoin in addition to Ethereum and a mix of other cryptocurrency assets. These are intended to be long-term investments," Haas added.
「您可以在我們的報告中看到更多細節，但我們除了以太幣外還持有比特幣和其他一攬子加密貨幣資產。這些都是長期投資，」哈斯補充道。
The CFO clarified that Coinbase functions as an operating company rather than an investment company and needed cash on hand for various capital requirements. Having said that, the firm looked for "opportunities" to expand its operations and broaden its cryptocurrency holdings in the future.
首席財務官澄清，Coinbase的業務功能是運營公司，而不是投資公司，需要手頭現金滿足各種資本需求。話雖如此，該公司尋找「機會」擴大其業務並在未來擴大其加密貨幣持有。
Why It Matters: Coinbase reported Q3 revenue of $1.21 billion after the market close on Wednesday, missing the Street consensus estimate of $1.26 billion. Additionally, earnings came in at 28 cents per share, lower than analysts' estimate of 42 cents per share.
關鍵之處：Coinbase在週三收盤後公佈第三季度營業收入爲12.1億美元，低於華爾街對12.6億美元的共識估計。此外，每股收益爲28美分，低於分析師預期的42美分。
The company's board authorized its first stock buyback program, providing for the repurchase of up to $1 billion of its outstanding Class A common stock without expiration.
公司董事會授權了其首個股票回購計劃，允許回購價值高達10億美元的已發行A類普通股，且沒有到期日。
Price Action: Coinbase stock plunged 4.84% in after-hours trading, after closing down 3.61% to $211.74 during Tuesday's regular session.
股票走勢：Coinbase股票在盤後交易中下跌了4.84%，週二常規交易時收盤價爲211.74美元，較下跌3.61%。
