Robinhood adds $25 million of Bitcoin to balance sheet

Robinhood has joined the list of public companies adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets.

The brokerage acquired $25 million worth of Bitcoin as it broadens its crypto offerings and seeks to demonstrate its long-term commitment to the sector, according to Johann Kerbrat, senior vice president and general manager of crypto and international at Robinhood.

He disclosed the purchase during an appearance on The Starting Block during the Digital Asset Summit (DAS) Asia conference on Wednesday.

Kerbrat said the investment was aimed at bringing Robinhood’s balance sheet and corporate vision closer to the crypto ecosystem, while noting that the purchase would not materially change the company’s trajectory.

The purchase follows comments from Shiv Verma, Robinhood’s chief financial officer, who said during the company’s Q3 2025 earnings call that executives were weighing whether to hold Bitcoin on the corporate balance sheet.

Verma said at the time that the company was assessing the pros and cons of a crypto treasury strategy alongside competing priorities such as new products, growth and engineering investment.

Robinhood is also expanding its digital asset infrastructure and products, with plans to offer perpetual futures to eligible US users and continue developing Robinhood Chain. The layer 2 has more than $1 billion in total value locked, while Stock Tokens allow eligible users to trade tokenized equities 24/7.
