Bitcoin's Resilience: Brian Armstrong Highlights Its Long-Term Value

Brian Armstrong
Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, recently highlighted Bitcoin's remarkable growth, reflecting on its resilience over the past decade. According to Armstrong, a $100 Bitcoin investment in 2012, the year Coinbase was founded, would now be worth approximately $1.5 million. He emphasized Bitcoin's potential as a hedge against inflation, contrasting its growth with fiat currency's declining purchasing power.

Bitcoin in Strategic Reserves?

Armstrong also suggested that governments explore adding Bitcoin to their strategic reserves, calling it the best-performing asset of the last 12 years. He noted that Bitcoin remains in the early stages of adoption and development, leaving significant room for further growth.

Coinbase’s Crypto Holdings

When asked about Coinbase’s investment in Bitcoin, Armstrong pointed to the company’s financial disclosures. Coinbase holds $1.26 billion in crypto assets, including 9,363 BTC (valued at $959.94 million) and 119,696 ETH (worth $462.03 million). These assets have risen 12.85%, or $161.97 million, in just two months, reflecting the strong performance of crypto markets.

Bitcoin's Role in Global Finance

This milestone has reignited discussions about Bitcoin's position in the global financial ecosystem. Armstrong and other industry leaders advocate for broader adoption, citing Bitcoin's resilience and long-term value as key attributes. As Bitcoin continues to evolve, its role as a disruptor in traditional finance becomes increasingly evident.
