Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) CEO Vlad Tenev said on Wednesday that the company is still evaluating whether to include Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) in its corporate treasury, weighing the potential pros and cons.
Need To Align With Shareholders, Says CEO
During the company’s third-quarter earnings call, Tenev said that Robinhood has devoted considerable time to pondering this move. He highlighted that such a step would require alignment from the community.
“If you put it [Bitcoin] on your balance sheet, it has the positives in that you're aligned with the community, but it does take up capital,” Tenev said, adding that such a decision could have both “pros and cons.”
He highlighted that Robinhood’s shareholders can already buy Bitcoin directly on the platform.
“Are we making that decision for them? Is it the best use of our capital?” Tenev said. “I think the short answer is we're still thinking about it.”

Will Robinhood Follow In Strategy’s Footsteps?
Tenev said previously that holding Bitcoin for investment purposes could possibly "complicate" things for public investors. He emphasized that the Robinhood stock is already highly correlated to Bitcoin even without the firm holding the asset on its books.
Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) remains the pioneer and the world’s biggest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with more than $73 billion in BTC in its reserves.
