Coinbase will buy back some of the bonds for $1 billion

  • The Coinbase exchange has offered investors to buy back a portion of the $150 million bond.
  • The total bond commitment is $1 billion.
  • The bond purchase is due to strong financial performance in the second quarter, the company said.

The Coinbase exchange has announced the repurchase of $150 million in bonds with a rate of 3.625% and maturity through 2031. The total bond liability is $1 billion. The offer expires Sept. 1, 2023, the company said.

Investors who participate in the repurchase offer and sell their bonds by Aug. 18 will receive $645 for each $1,000 face value of the security. That amount includes a special early tender premium of $30, the document said.

If the notes are sold after Aug. 18 but before the offer expires on Sept. 1, Coinbase will offer $615 for each $1,000 face value of the notes.

In a special call to shareholders, the cryptocurrency exchange reported revenue of $708 billion for Q2 2023.

“The second quarter was successful for us. It marked progress toward creating a more efficient and financially disciplined company,” the report said.
