Coinbase holds $25 billion worth of Bitcoin, amounting to nearly 5% of the cryptocurrency’s total supply, according to Arkham Intel.
Blockchain intelligence platform Arkham Intel, on Sept. 22, revealed that U.S.-based crypto exchange Coinbase currently possesses close to 1 million Bitcoins in its wallets.
The Bitcoin holding is valued at over $25 billion per the current market rates. It also constitutes almost 5% of all Bitcoin in circulation, an amount that would put Coinbase on par with the alleged holdings of Bitcoin’s elusive founder, Satoshi Nakamoto.
As asserted by Arkham, Coinbase’s Bitcoin portfolio consists of a grand total of 947,755 BTC. To put things in perspective, the current circulating supply of Bitcoin is approximately 19,493,875.
However, it’s critical to bear in mind that most of the coins belong to crypto exchange users, especially since Arkham highlighted that Coinbase utilizes around 36 million Bitcoin deposits and holding addresses, all of which the on-chain analysis platform consistently tracks and identifies.
