U.S. monetary cryptology exchange Coinbase has revealed that Bitcoins (BTCs) and other cryptographic assets have been an important part of its corporate finances since its inception in 2012.

In a new announcement to other participating companies, the exchange presented its own experience in managing cash positions in cryptocurrencies as a solid foundation for advising other private and public companies on managing their own potential investments.

In a recent, highly detailed FAQ on corporate treasury, the exchange details the types of investment, accounting and tax policies that companies should consider and adopt if they want to diversify their treasuries with crypto.

The FAQ is a general resource that addresses all types of investment-related regulatory, audit and crypto issues from a business investment perspective, as well as a platform for companies choosing Coinbase as their trade execution partner, advisor and professional custodian, among others.

The paper also examines Bitcoin’s performance in recent years from a macroeconomic perspective, showing that it compares favorably to other financial assets, such as gold and the S&P 500. “Bitcoin’s strong absolute performance has offset investor volatility,” the exchange notes. On a risk-adjusted basis, the asset had an annualized Sharpe ratio of 1.52 over the past five years, taking into account the bear market of 2018.

Corporate investment in cryptocurrents, particularly Bitcoin, made headlines in recent weeks with Tesla’s $1.5 billion investment in these assets reportedly generating profits of up to $1 billion. Despite this extraordinary surprise, analysts say they expect a ripple effect among companies following Tesla’s move, but that less than 5% of listed companies are likely to be fairly confident in their investments at this stage until the regulatory landscape becomes clearer.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my Bitcoin on hold at Coinbase?

If you see funds pending, this means that these funds are subject to Coinbase withdrawal hold and cannot yet be transferred to Coinbase Pro. Although you can use these funds to buy or sell on Coinbase.com (not on Coinbase Pro), transfers or withdrawals are limited until a hold is placed.

Is it safe to hold coins on Coinbase?

Your money is safe, even though it is never 100% safe for your money on an online exchange, Coinbase is one of the safest web wallets you can use. Coinbase stores nearly 99% of its assets in offline cold storage facilities that are not accessible – once they are in cold storage, they cannot be hacked!

Does the Coinbase database track coins?

Can Coinbase track where you send your coins? It seems that the company keeps track of what its customers buy with Bitcoin and closes all accounts involved in transactions that the company objects to.
