Her firm remains one of the biggest holders of Coinbase stock.

America’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker COIN after going public in 2021.

Its stock is today priced at $257.32 per share and has been on a tear recently: over the past month, it’s shot up by over 50%. Year-to-date, COIN is up 236%.

The San Francisco-based company last month released its Q4 2023 earnings results showing that it had turned a profit in part thanks to interest earned on its USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin reserves.
