From "Selling Shovels" to "Hoarding Gold": Coinbase and Remixpoint Launch a New Paradigm for Enterprise Configuration in 2026

Yesterday, the global cryptocurrency market reached a subtle yet significant turning point.

If the purchase by Strategy (NASDAQ: $MSTR) represented "capital leverage," then today's entry by Coinbase (NASDAQ: $COIN) represents "industry faith." Also making headlines are Genius Group (NYSE: $GNS), which is utilizing tuition income for dollar-cost averaging, and Remixpoint (TSE: $3825), which is seeking yen hedging.

Although these three companies vary greatly in size and industry, their decisions made on the same day reveal three new paradigms for enterprise-level cryptocurrency allocation in 2026: assetization of infrastructure, hard currency generation from operational income, and normalization of currency hedging for Asian enterprises.

1. Coinbase: When the "Casino" Starts Stockpiling Chips

As the largest compliant cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, Coinbase has traditionally adhered to a "platform neutrality" role, primarily earning revenue from trading fees (selling shovels). However, yesterday it announced the use of $50 million in corporate cash to directly purchase 650 bitcoins, marking a significant shift in its identity.

1. "Statement" of the Balance Sheet

CFO Alesia Haas's mention of "aligning assets with the crypto economy" is, in fact, a high-level endorsement of credit. Coinbase possesses the sharpest data insights in the industry, and when it begins converting shareholder equity into bitcoin, it indicates that its internal model believes the long-term return on bitcoin will significantly outperform dollar cash. This is not just an investment; it is a declaration to Wall Street: we have absolute confidence in the industry we have built.

2. Reconstruction of Valuation Logic

In the past, Coinbase's stock price correlation with cryptocurrency prices was primarily reflected in "trading volume" (high trading volume in bull markets leads to high revenue). With the increase in its own inventory, Coinbase's net asset value (NAV) will be directly linked to cryptocurrency prices. This gradually endows it with the dual attributes of "exchange + ETF," further deepening its moat as a leading cryptocurrency player in the U.S. stock market.

2. Genius Group: The "Demonstration Effect" of Small Dollar-Cost Averaging

Compared to Coinbase's substantial investment, the 25 bitcoins purchased by education technology company Genius Group (NYSE: $GNS) may seem trivial, but the "cash flow conversion logic" behind it is highly universal.

1. The "Tuition Value Storage" Assembly Line

Genius Group is not financing its bitcoin purchases; rather, it is utilizing the operating surplus generated from its EdTech business. This means that as long as someone enrolls in a class and pays tuition, the company will automatically generate buying pressure for bitcoin. This model of instantaneously converting "soft fiat currency income" into "hard asset reserves" provides an excellent reference for thousands of small and medium-sized SaaS and service companies worldwide: you don't need to become a financial company; you just need to adjust your treasury management strategy.

2. Resonance Between Education and Decentralization

The "bitcoin-first" educational philosophy championed by Genius Group forms a perfect closed loop with its asset allocation. Holding bitcoin itself serves as the strongest advertisement for its educational brand, and this strategy of aligning knowledge with action can effectively attract students from the Web3 native generation, thereby feeding back into its cash flow.

3. Remixpoint: The "Awakening of Industry" Amid Yen Depreciation

If Metaplanet represents Japan's "MicroStrategy," then Remixpoint (TSE: $3825) represents a broader Japanese industrial class.

1. The Purchase Here is for "Survival"

Remixpoint is a comprehensive enterprise involved in energy, automotive, and electricity. For companies that rely on imported raw materials or face energy price fluctuations, the continued weakness of the yen is fatal. The additional budget of 1 billion yen to purchase bitcoin yesterday was not for speculation but for value preservation. In the context of shrinking purchasing power of the yen, bitcoin is viewed as a "digital dollar" or "supra-sovereign gold," becoming a hedging anchor on the company's balance sheet.

2. Asian Cluster Effect

With Remixpoint's follow-up, we see the "cluster effect" of Japanese listed companies allocating bitcoin. This trend is spreading from purely investment companies to those with physical businesses (energy, utilities). When Japanese CEOs realize that holding bitcoin is safer than holding yen cash, the buying pressure from Asia will become highly resilient.

4. From "Radical" to "Standard"

Yesterday's market signals indicate that corporate holdings of bitcoin are shedding the "radical gamble" connotation and gradually becoming a form of "standardized operation."

  • Exchanges (Coinbase) buy it for industry positioning;

  • Education companies (Genius) buy it for profit retention;

  • Industrial companies (Remixpoint) buy it for currency hedging.

As the reasons for purchasing become so diverse and pragmatic, the era of bitcoin as a corporate reserve asset is just beginning. We are witnessing a historic leap from "individual pioneers" to "industry standards."
