<p>The blockchain intelligence platform, Arkham, has recently revealed that the U.S.-based crypto exchange, Coinbase, holds $25 Billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC).

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Arkham has now identified $25B of Coinbase Bitcoin reserves (~1M BTC) on chain.<br><br>This makes Coinbase the largest Bitcoin entity in the world on Arkham, with almost 5% of all BTC in existence – about as much as Satoshi Nakamoto. <a href="https://t.co/7sDOczS7WT">pic.twitter.com/7sDOczS7WT</a></p>— Arkham (@ArkhamIntel) <a href="https://twitter.com/ArkhamIntel/status/1705254948324233270?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 22, 2023</a>

<p>According to Arkham analysis, it has identified and tagged more than 36 Million BTC deposits and holding addresses used by Coinbase. On the other hand, their largest cold wallet contains nearly 10K BTC. Moreover, as per Coinbase’s most recent financials, it “likely has thousands more BTC not yet labeled.”</p> 
<p>After the disclosure, Coinbase came to the forefront of the Bitcoin landscape. As “the largest Bitcoin entity in the world alongside the enigmatic Satoshi Nakamoto. The uncovered reserves amount to nearly 5% of the total Bitcoin supply.”</p> 
<p>However, Arkham suggests that the crypto exchange’s actual Bitcoin reserves may extend beyond the identified addresses. As per Coinbase’s recent financial reports, it is highly likely that it has thousands more <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2023/09/22/will-these-2-bitcoin-stocks-outperform-in-the-upcoming-months/">BTC </a>that are yet to be tracked and labeled.</p>
