Coinbase today coded a message into the first BitcoinBitcoin block it mined on the day of its public listing—echoing the hidden message the cryptocurrency’s pseudonymous creator posted on the blockchain’s first block 12 years ago.
The message today reads: “NYTimes 10/Mar/21 House Gives Final Approval to Biden's $1.9T Pandemic Relief Bill.” It references a New York Times article about the US House of Representatives giving final approval to one of the largest economic stimulus measures in American history.
On 03/Jan/2009, Satoshi coded a message into the Bitcoin Genesis Block. As a nod to Satoshi on our listing day, we asked @f2pool_official to embed a message in the Bitcoin blockchain: https://t.co/lwHNlTUskt
— Coinbase (@coinbase) April 14, 2021
Coinbase’s message was coded into the block by F2Pool miningmining pool just as Coinbase's stock (COIN) is set to start trading on the Nasdaq. Bitcoin blocks are mined—that is, processed—by powerful computers in order to verify transactions.
When Bitcoin’s first ever block was mined, its creator (or creators), Satoshi Nakamoto, posted a message referencing a 2009 story by UK newspaper The Times. The message read: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”
Both messages reference big government spending—something many cryptocurrency investors believe will lead to the devaluation of fiat money (like US dollars or British pounds) and be positive for Bitcoin in the long-run.
Why? Because Bitcoin is considered by some as a hedge against inflation. If the value of the dollar declines, Bitcoin can be a good alternative investment because it cannot be devalued by a government producing more of it.
New research suggests that enigmatic creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, may have lived in London while he was working on the world’s first cryptocurrency, according to a report published on The Chain Bulletin on Monday. “Analyzing Satoshi's Bitcointalk posts, SourceForge commits, and emails, along with other available data, points to the most likely place the anonymous inventor of Bitcoin called home—London,” wrote Doncho Karaivanov, author of the report. In total, the researchers have analy...
Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is set to go public today, directly listing on the Nasdaq. This means ordinary people can now buy and sell the company’s shares.
It’s big news in both the crypto and broader finance worlds, as the industry pushes further into the mainstream. But while big government spending may be leading more investors to hold Bitcoin over US dollars, will it mean the same for COIN?

Equity analysts from investment firms Benchmark and Bernstein reiterated their buy ratings and lofty price targets for Strategy (MSTR), a day after the company said that it had recorded a loss of $5.9 billion on its Bitcoin holdings in its first quarter of 2025. The analysts highlighted Strategy’s continued strategy to purchase more Bitcoin, which has become its core business after the company pivoted from software development about five years ago. “While the number of companies that have soug...
Riot Platforms posted mixed earnings results for the first quarter as it took steps to mitigate the effects of mining industry headwinds on its business. The Bitcoin miner clocked $161.39 million in revenue in the three-month period ending on March 31, up 13% from the previous quarter, the firm said Thursday in a statement. That's roughly 2% above Wall Street’s expectations of $160.72 million. The company's total revenue was largely boosted by its Bitcoin mining income, which jumped 100% in th...
Fortnite maker Epic Games’ antitrust case against Apple benefited the crypto industry on Thursday, when the iPhone maker loosened restrictions on developers’ ability to offer apps in the U.S. that direct users to non-standard purchasing methods or digital collectibles. Apple updated its iOS App Store review guidelines after a U.S. District Judge found this week that the tech titan “willfully” violated a court injunction issued in 2021. Moving forward, the federal court prohibited Apple from coll...
