Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global, Inc, has announced a private offering of $1 billion bond sale which will be due in 2030.
In an announcement, Coinbase said the private offering is only open to those investors who are classed as “qualified institutional buyers.”&nbsp;
Bonds are a type of security sold by corporations, as a way of raising money from investors. When a firm needs to raise capital, issuing bonds is one way to do it.
“Coinbase also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $150.0 million principal amount of notes solely to cover over-allotments.&nbsp;
The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Coinbase, will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears and will mature on April 1, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted,” said the firm in a press release.

Previously MicroStrategy has raised capital in the same way by announcing a similar offering.&nbsp;
On March 8, MicroStrategy confirmed it had completed its previously announced offering of 0.625% convertible senior notes due 2030.&nbsp;
The aggregate principal amount of the notes sold in the offering was $800 million.
MicroStrategy announced another seismic Bitcoin purchase of $800 million at an average price of $68,377 per coin.&nbsp;

It is proving to be a busy week for Coinbase.&nbsp;
On Monday, it emerged that Coinbase had filed a lawsuit against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), seeking a court directive for the regulatory authority to establish clear guidelines for the cryptocurrency sector.
In the lawsuit <a href="https://assets.ctfassets.net/c5bd0wqjc7v0/4k2YQLr5PQcDksJwda4yid/7e458652c5c696e886d16faa9a65a154/Coinbase_v._SEC_Brief_for_Petitioner.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">detailed</a> in their March 11 court submission, Coinbase challenged the SEC’s lack of formal rulemaking for the crypto sector, asserting that the agency’s actions hindered the industry’s development and clarity.

<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-sec-s-absence-of-digital-asset-rulemaking-span">SEC’s Absence Of Digital Asset Rulemaking</h3>
The filing criticized the SEC for its passive stance on crypto regulation, arguing that the absence of specific rules has left the sector navigating a regulatory grey area.
“For years the SEC indicated that it had little statutory authority over digital assets and that what authority it did have was unclear,” stated Coinbase.&nbsp;
“Market participants responded by investing heavily in a now two-trillion-dollar industry and built their businesses in compliance with relevant agencies’ regulatory frameworks.”
