- Figma holds a substantial cryptocurrency investment through an ETF.
- Bitcoin investment authorized by Figma’s board.
- This may lead other tech firms toward crypto treasury strategies.
The move by Figma highlights a growing trend of tech companies integrating cryptocurrency into asset management, potentially influencing broader adoption in corporate treasuries.
Figma Inc. disclosed its $70 million stake in the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF in a recent IPO filing. The board has approved acquiring an additional $30 million in Bitcoin, with funds currently held in USDC.
Led by CEO Dylan Field, Figma’s decision marks a shift in their treasury strategy. The approved Bitcoin purchase will be converted from USDC holdings when deemed timely by the board.
The investment is expected to impact the Bitcoin market by increasing ETF assets under management. Figma’s actions reflect a broader interest among tech firms in diversifying assets through crypto.
From a financial perspective, this move positions Figma at the forefront of innovation in crypto exposure strategies. Its impact on potential IPO investors centers around seeking cryptocurrency market benefits. Dylan Field, CEO of Figma, stated:
“On May 8, 2025, the Board of Directors approved an investment of $30.0 million in Bitcoin… The Company intends to re-invest its stablecoin holdings into Bitcoin at a later date.” [Source: SEC Filing]
The strategy hints at possible regulatory evaluations of corporate crypto asset holdings in the future. Figma’s approach, pending planned execution, might set precedence for tech IPOs.
Corporate adaptation to digital assets follows historical trends seen with MicroStrategy and Tesla. Figma’s association with a regulated ETF aligns their exposure with market credibility and investor security.
