Stock price of Coinbase plunges further as company unveils plans for a $2 billion debt offering in the crypto market
Coinbase Global, the leading cryptocurrency exchange, has successfully completed a $3 billion convertible notes offering, marking a significant increase from earlier announcements of $2 billion and $2.6 billion [4][2][1]. The notes, due in 2029 and 2032, are 0% convertible senior notes, convertible into Coinbase's Class A common stock at a premium.
The capital raised will be used for general corporate purposes, including growth initiatives, investments, acquisitions, managing existing debt, and providing operational flexibility [4][2][1]. However, the debt offering has had a noticeable impact on Coinbase’s stock price and market sentiment. Following the initial $2 billion convertible notes announcement, the stock dipped approximately 4% [5][1]. This decline was compounded by a simultaneous platform outage, which introduced additional investor concerns.
Despite the initial dip, the stock had gained 24% year-to-date before this event, surpassing the NASDAQ Composite [1][5]. Analysts maintain a cautious stance, with a Hold rating and price targets ranging around $196 to $264 [4][2][5]. This reflects confidence in Coinbase’s strategic growth plans but also concerns about valuation and near-term challenges.
To mitigate potential dilution, Coinbase plans to enter into capped call transactions [4][2][1]. The company may also grant initial purchasers options to buy up to an additional $150 million of each series within 13 days of issuance [4].

Galaxy Digital moved $447 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC), with most of it sent to crypto exchanges [6]. A mastermind behind a $13 million crypto Ponzi scheme faces 15 years in prison for defrauding investors [7]. Billionaire Ray Dalio suggests that 15% of a portfolio should be invested in either gold or Bitcoin (BTC) for an upcoming phase of money devaluation [8].
