The retail trading platform Robinhood has surpassed MicroStrategy to become the third-largest Bitcoin holder, with over 100,000 BTC worth an estimated $3 billion. This news comes as Bitcoin prices have been on the rise in recent months, and as more and more institutional investors are adding BTC to their portfolios.
Robinhood's Bitcoin holdings are held in a self-custody wallet, which means that the company does not have control over the private keys to the coins. This is in contrast to MicroStrategy, which holds its Bitcoin in a custodial wallet, meaning that MicroStrategy has control over the private keys.
The move by Robinhood to become a major Bitcoin holder is a significant development, and it suggests that the company is bullish on the future of the cryptocurrency. It also raises questions about how Robinhood will manage its Bitcoin holdings, and whether it will allow its users to withdraw their BTC to their own wallets.
Only time will tell how Robinhood's Bitcoin holdings will impact the company's future, but it is clear that the company is now a major player in the cryptocurrency market.
