Robinhood Markets has added approximately $25 million worth of bitcoin to its corporate balance sheet, according to comments from a senior company executive. The purchase marks a shift toward holding the cryptocurrency as a company-owned treasury asset rather than solely as a product for customers.

Disclosure at Digital Asset Summit

Johann Kerbrat, senior vice president and general manager of crypto and international at Robinhood, made the disclosure during an interview on The Starting Block broadcast at the Digital Asset Summit Asia conference in Singapore on Wednesday. Kerbrat framed the move as a signal of the firm’s commitment to the asset and its broader ecosystem.

He noted that the position is modest relative to the size of the company. Robinhood’s market capitalization stands near the $100 billion range.

The corporate holding is distinct from the cryptocurrency assets Robinhood custodies on behalf of customers. Those customer holdings total nearly $25 billion and include more than 185,000 bitcoin valued at roughly $15.6 billion.

Expansion of Crypto Operations

Robinhood has steadily broadened its digital-asset offerings. In July the company launched Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 network built on Arbitrum technology. The chain supports tokenized stock products, a stablecoin known as USDG, yield-bearing lending through Robinhood Earn, and integrations with decentralized finance protocols such as Uniswap along with infrastructure providers including Chainlink, Alchemy and BitGo.

The platform serves more than 28 million funded customers globally. Crypto trading volume on the platform reached $17.5 billion in August, a 61 percent increase from the prior month. A substantial portion of that volume flowed through Bitstamp, the exchange Robinhood acquired in 2025.

Robinhood is also preparing to introduce perpetual futures contracts for eligible U.S. users covering bitcoin, ether and several other assets, with leverage ranging up to 10 times for the two largest coins. The contracts are expected to settle profit and loss every 15 minutes and will carry no expiry.

Context Among Corporate Bitcoin Holders

The addition places Robinhood among a growing group of publicly traded companies that hold bitcoin as a treasury asset. Strategy initiated large-scale corporate purchases in 2020 and has been followed by more than 170 firms worldwide. Other holders include Tesla, Block, MARA Holdings, CleanSpark and Riot Platforms. Collectively these firms account for well over 1.2 million bitcoin on their balance sheets.

Bitcoin traded near $84,000 on the day of the disclosure. Robinhood shares closed lower in the previous session, leaving the company’s market value in the vicinity of $100 billion.

Kerbrat also discussed the firm’s international expansion, including the recent introduction of zero-fee crypto trading in the United Kingdom that allows users to manage retirement, brokerage and digital-asset accounts within a single application. The company continues to explore additional investment opportunities in the cryptocurrency sector while integrating traditional brokerage services with on-chain markets.
