A quarterly report filed to the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) revealed that Intel holds Coinbase stock. Santa Clara, a California-based technology firm, purchased the share when the bitcoin exchange went public in April 2018.

On the last day of June, the price was $22.8 lower than the closing price of $328.28 on April 14, the first trading day for COIN shares. Since then, the equities have regained some of their lost value, reaching a recent high of $280.
