Coinbase CEO Says It’s Not Too Late to Own BTC or ETH

**Brian Armstrong Dispels Crypto Investing Misconception for Beginners**

*Written By: Albert Brown | TheCryptoBasic*

Brian Armstrong, the co-founder and CEO of Coinbase, has recently addressed a common misconception among beginner crypto investors. In a post on X, Armstrong highlighted the widespread belief that crypto assets—especially Bitcoin and Ethereum—are too expensive for new investors to start with.

### The Misconception: You Need to Buy a Whole Bitcoin or Ethereum

This misconception arises from the assumption that investors must purchase an entire Bitcoin or Ethereum token to enter the crypto market. Given Bitcoin’s soaring price surpassing $100,000 and Ethereum trading above $4,000, many newcomers, particularly retail investors, view these assets as prohibitively expensive.

### You Don’t Need to Buy a Whole Bitcoin or Ethereum

Armstrong emphasized that beginners do **not** need to buy a whole Bitcoin or Ethereum to participate in the market. Just like owning a fraction of a stock, investors can buy fractions of cryptocurrencies on exchanges. Even with just a few dollars, people can purchase and hold portions of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most other crypto assets.

For example, although Bitcoin recently traded at $111,044, a $1,000 investment would secure approximately 0.009 BTC. This fractional ownership model makes crypto accessible to individuals with varied budgets.

### It’s Not Too Late to Begin Investing in Crypto

Armstrong also reassured that it’s never too late to begin investing in cryptocurrencies. Newcomers can always buy fractions of popular assets as prices fluctuate. While rising prices mean a fixed sum will buy fewer tokens, the ability to buy fractional amounts ensures ongoing accessibility.

His comments come amid growing perceptions that crypto investing is reserved for the wealthy, fueled partly by increased institutional participation.

### Institutional Crypto Investments Continue to Grow

Institutions like MicroStrategy and BlackRock have made significant Bitcoin investments in recent years. Last week, MicroStrategy, now Strategy, announced a purchase of 220 BTC worth $27 million, bringing their total holdings to 640,250 Bitcoin.

Similarly, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink revealed that their Bitcoin holdings—around 804,944 BTC—surpassed $100 billion earlier this month.

Despite these massive investments, Armstrong stresses that entering the crypto market doesn’t require enormous capital. Anyone can start investing with just a few dollars.
