Agentic commerce isn’t priced in yet. Machine-to-machine payments will increase demand for the digital dollar beyond current estimates.

The agentic economy could be larger than the human economy. We're building the infrastructure for both at Coinbase.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

@TFTC21 Not sure where you're getting this misinformation (perhaps you can share?) but it's totally false.

I've spent a bunch of time lobbying for Bitcoin's de minimis tax exemption, and will continue doing so. It's obviously the right thing.

[Joe Consorti @JoeConsorti]

One more week until the 20,000,000th bitcoin is mined.

The remaining 1,000,000 will take 114 years.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Here is the flywheel that helps Coinbase lead.

- We're the most trusted brand in crypto
- This causes people to store more assets with us
- We connect more products into those assets (12 products doing more than $100m revenue on an annualized basis now)
- We use revenue from those products to invest back in trust and more products
- Repeat

Our top 3 priorities in 2026 are:

1) The Everything Exchange: trade every asset class from one account

2) Stablecoins & Payments: the digital dollar is crypto's second killer app

3) Onchain: this is where the industry is headed, with DEXes, DeFi, self-custody wallets, etc.

“ Nobody uses Bitcoin ”

[Ross Ulbricht @RealRossU]

One year ago today, a prison guard banged on my cell door and said: YOU'RE FREE!!

After more than 11 years under a life sentence, I walked out of max security prison with Leaf Erikson, the plant I was growing in my cell.

Leaf and I are so grateful for our second chance at life.

No single issuer. No single institution. No single government. It may be hard to see it for some but that’s what a true democratic mandate looks like.

If you don't know, now you know.

[Steak 'n Shake @SteaknShake]

Starting March 1, Steak n Shake will give all hourly employees at its company-operated restaurants a Bitcoin bonus of $0.21 for every hour worked. 

Employees will be able to collect their Bitcoin pay after a two-year vesting period. Thank you, @Fold_app, for the assist.

We take care of our employees; they, in turn, take care of customers; and the results take care of themselves.

[Patrick Witt @patrickjwitt]

Lost in yesterday’s disappointing postponement news is the fact that Senate Banking Democrats were prepared to vote unanimously against a bipartisan bill that included so many concessions to them that it ultimately cost industry support. Bad faith.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

After reviewing the Senate Banking draft text over the last 48hrs, Coinbase unfortunately can’t support the bill as written.

There are too many issues, including:

- A defacto ban on tokenized equities
- DeFi prohibitions, giving the government unlimited access to your financial records and removing your right to privacy
- Erosion of the CFTC’s authority, stifling innovation and making it subservient to the SEC
- Draft amendments that would kill rewards on stablecoins, allowing banks to ban their competition

We appreciate all the hard work by members of the Senate to reach a bi-partisan outcome, but this version would be materially worse than the current status quo. We’d rather have no bill than a bad bill. Hopefully we can all get to a better draft.

We'll keep fighting for all Americans and for economic freedom. Crypto needs to be treated on a level playing field with the rest of financial services so we can build this industry in a safe and trusted way in America.

[Senator Cynthia Lummis @SenLummis]

The digital asset industry can’t wait any longer for regulatory clarity. This bipartisan Clarity Act provides the framework America needs to lead in financial innovation while protecting consumers. Both parties contributed to every section. Let’s get this done!

Gold failed at scale. Fiat failed at honesty.

Bitcoin solves for both.

[jack @jack]

bitcoin sellers map in cash app out now to 100%.

convince your local square seller to turn on bitcoin acceptance for zero fees on sales.

convince them to keep it as bitcoin to help them better survive dollar debasement.

[jesse.base.eth @jessepollak]

Coinbase is long ethereum.

Our holding increased by 11,933 ETH in Q3. And we keep buying more.
