What happened
Robinhood purchased $25 million worth of Bitcoin for its corporate balance sheet in Singapore on October 7, 2026. This marks the trading platform's first direct Bitcoin treasury investment. Johann Kerbrat, Robinhood’s Senior Vice President and General Manager of Crypto and International, confirmed the purchase during the Digital Asset Summit and Token2049 event.

Why it matters
The purchase represents a significant shift for Robinhood because the Bitcoin will be held directly on the company’s balance sheet rather than in customer custody accounts. This move accelerates Robinhood’s push into digital assets and seeks to connect traditional financial markets with blockchain-based products.
