COIN returns by year vs the S&P 500
COIN beat the S&P 500 in 2 of the 4 full calendar years shown.
| Year | COIN | S&P 500 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 (to Oct 30, 2026) | −36.5% | +11.7% | −48.2% |
| 2025 | −8.9% | +17.7% | −26.6% |

COIN risk-adjusted returns: Sharpe, Sortino and volatility
Over 5 years, COIN had a Sharpe ratio of 0.18 against 0.58 for the S&P 500, so it earned less return per unit of risk than the index. Its annualized volatility was 88.1% and its beta 3.34: it tended to move about 3.3× as much as the market.
| Metric | COIN | S&P 500 |
|---|---|---|
| Annual return | −14.8% | +12.0% |
| Volatility (annualized) | 88.1% | 15.5% |
| Sharpe ratio | 0.18 | 0.58 |
| Sortino ratio | 0.30 | 0.91 |
| Max drawdown (month-end) | −88.9% | −23.9% |
| Beta to the S&P 500 | 3.34 | 1.00 |
Sharpe divides return above cash by total volatility; Sortino counts only downside volatility. Both use monthly returns and the 1–3 month T‑bill ETF (BIL) as the risk‑free rate.
How COIN behaved in past crashes
COIN’s deepest fall in the crises below was −81.3% in the 2022 inflation bear market, against −25.4% for the S&P 500. The last column turns that into money: what a $100,000 position would have lost from peak to trough.
| Crisis | COIN | S&P 500 | Loss on $100,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 inflation bear market | −81.3% | −25.4% | −$81,270 |
| 2025 tariff selloff | −41.4% | −19.0% | −$41,440 |
| Window | COIN max drawdown |
|---|---|
| Last 1 year | −57.0% |
| Last 3 years | −67.4% |
| Last 5 years | −90.9% |
| Last 10 years | −90.9% |
Peak‑to‑trough declines from daily prices inside each crisis window. A crash replay does not predict the next crisis; it shows how much room a holding needs. Run the same replay on a whole portfolio with the crash test.
What moves with COIN, and what doesn’t
Correlation runs from −1 (moves opposite) to +1 (moves in lockstep). Over the last 60 months of monthly returns, COIN’s correlation with the S&P 500 was 0.59, with the Nasdaq‑100 0.61, with long Treasuries (TLT) 0.32 and with gold (GLD) 0.09.
Adding a 5% COIN position to an S&P 500 portfolio would have moved its 5‑year volatility from 15.5% to 17.6%.

Where COIN’s revenue comes from
In fiscal 2025 (the year to Dec 31, 2025), COIN’s largest reported region was the United States, with 83.7% of its $7.2 billion revenue. By region: United States 83.7%; Rest of the World 16.3%.
By business, the largest segment was Bank Servicing, Consumer, Net, with 47.9% of $6.9 billion revenue (−3.1% on the year before).
| Segment | Revenue | Share | Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bank Servicing, Consumer, Net | $3.3 billion | 47.9% | −3.1% |
| Subscription and Circulation, Stablecoin | $1.3 billion | 19.5% | +48.1% |
| Subscription and Circulation, Blockchain Infrastructure Service | $677.4 million | 9.8% | −4.0% |
| Subscription and Circulation, Other | $554.8 million | 8.0% | +95.8% |
| Bank Servicing, Institutional | $479.7 million | 6.9% | +38.8% |
| Other Revenue | $297.9 million | 4.3% | +10.0% |
| Bank Servicing, Other | $252.9 million | 3.6% | +20.3% |
From COIN’s annual filings; segment growth compares fiscal 2025 with the year before. Regions are as each company reports them, so one company’s “Asia Pacific” is not another’s. China counts the regions a company reports as China, Greater China or Hong Kong; a separately reported Taiwan is not counted. Which S&P 500 companies depend most on China?

How much of COIN is sold short?
As of the Sep 30, 2026 settlement date, 11.09% of COIN’s float was sold short: 24.4 million shares, or 2.5 days of average trading volume to cover. A year earlier (Oct 15, 2025) it was 5.93%. The median across the 997 US stocks Exent tracks was 4.77%, so COIN is more heavily shorted than most.
From FINRA short‑interest reports, filed twice a month; the bars show the short share of the float at each month‑end. Days to cover divides the shares short by the average daily volume. The most shorted stocks
How many institutions own COIN?
At the end of Q2 2026 (Jun 30, 2026), 1,250 institutions reported holding COIN in 13F filings, down 66 from the quarter before and down from 1,392 a year earlier. Their reported holdings add up to 56.0% of COIN’s shares. In the quarter 472 institutions added to their positions and 466 cut them.

Is COIN diluting shareholders?
COIN’s diluted share count rose 5.1% in fiscal 2025 alone. Each share now owns a smaller slice of the company.

COIN financial health scores
In Exent’s Oct 20, 2026 snapshot, COIN’s Piotroski F‑score was 3 out of 9; 94% of scored stocks reach 3 or more. The Altman Z‑score is not meaningful for financial services companies, so it is left out.
The Altman Z‑score combines five balance‑sheet and earnings ratios into one bankruptcy‑risk score: below 1.81 is the distress zone, 1.81–2.99 grey, above 2.99 safe. It is not meaningful for banks, insurers and REITs. The Piotroski F‑score counts nine yes/no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency; 8–9 is strong, 0–2 weak. Both come from the latest annual statements. Which stocks have the highest bankruptcy risk?
What COIN talks about on earnings calls
On its latest earnings call (Jul 30, 2026), COIN’s executives and analysts mentioned AI 6 times, against 17 on the call before (May 7, 2026); the average across 455 S&P 500 calls that quarter was 12.9. After AI, the most mentioned topic was ai agents (12). Tariffs and recession did not come up.

How much is COIN’s CEO paid?
Brian Armstrong, COIN’s Chairman of the Board of Directors & Chief Executive Officer, received total pay of $9.7 million for fiscal 2025, up 34.2% from $7.2 million for fiscal 2024, according to the company’s proxy statement filed with the SEC on Apr 24, 2026. The median CEO pay across the 378 S&P 500 companies Exent tracks was $17.2 million, so COIN’s CEO earned less than most.
| Pay component | Amount | Share of total |
|---|---|---|
| Salary | $1.0 million | 10.3% |
| Other | $8.7 million | 89.7% |
| Other top executives | Role | Total pay, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Emilie Choi | President & Chief Operating Officer | $22.2 million |
| Paul Grewal | Chief Legal Officer & Secretary | $20.7 million |
| Alesia Haas | Chief Financial Officer | $14.2 million |
| Lawrence Brock | Chief People Officer | $9.7 million |
Figures from the summary compensation table of the proxy statement; awards count at their grant‑date value, so one large multi‑year grant can make a single year stand out. CEO pay across the S&P 500
The right benchmark for COIN
Exent matches every holding to the index with the most similar risk. For COIN that is SPY (the S&P 500). Comparing a holding with an index that carries very different risk makes good results look bad and risky ones look clever. Read why the S&P 500 is the wrong benchmark for most portfolios.

Data and methodology
Returns are total returns from month‑end adjusted closing prices (dividends reinvested) through Oct 30, 2026. Crisis drawdowns and trailing maximum drawdowns use daily prices. Analyst coverage counts ratings published in the last 12 months, shown with a 30‑day delay. Full method: Exent methodology.
Company data as of Oct 20, 2026. The move around an earnings report runs from the close before it to the close after it; a price target counts as hit when the stock closed at or beyond it within 12 months (Exent analyst data). Revenue by region and segment, share counts and executive pay come from company filings; insider trades from SEC Form 4, short interest from FINRA, institutional ownership from 13F filings, Congress trades from STOCK Act disclosures filed with the House and Senate, federal contracts from USAspending.gov. Filings from the last 30 days are shown as counts only.
