Coinbase Quietly Gobbles Bitcoin—But Rejects ’Treasury Strategy’ Label
Another day, another corporate crypto play—only this time, Coinbase insists it’s not copying MicroStrategy’s homework. The exchange snaps up BTC while dodging the ’treasury reserve’ buzzword like a banker dodging accountability.
Behind the scenes: Execs claim ’operational reasons’ for the accumulation, but the math doesn’t lie. With Bitcoin’s 2025 rally defying legacy finance’s funeral predictions, who needs a treasury strategy when you can just print ’undisclosed business purposes’ on the memo line?
The kicker: Wall Street still thinks crypto is a casino, but at least Coinbase remembered to hedge before placing its billion-dollar bet. Somewhere in Virginia, Michael Saylor smirks into his laser-eyed coffee mug.
