Figma’s Bold Move: $70M Bitcoin ETF Bet Revealed in IPO Filing – A Crypto-Savvy Design Giant Emerges
Figma’s IPO Filing Unveils a $70M Bitcoin Gamble: Why Designers Love Crypto Now
By [Your Name], CFA | Fintech Analyst & Blockchain Enthusiast
From Adobe’s Shadow to Bitcoin’s Spotlight
Figma’s S-1 filing dropped this week, and while the design platform’s IPO plans (ticker: FIG) were expected, the $6.95 million Bitcoin ETF position wasn’t. For context: that’s 26% returns on an initial \(55M investment in Bitwise’s BITB ETF—proof that Figma’s leadership thinks beyond pixels. After the collapsed \)20B Adobe deal (thanks, regulators), this move signals independence with a crypto twist.
The Numbers Don’t Lie: 48% Revenue Growth Meets BTC Hodling
- Q1 2025 revenue: $228M (+46% YoY)
- Cash reserves: $1.07B (4% allocated to Bitcoin)
- CEO Dylan Field’s vision: “Users as shareholders” via IPO, with 75%+ voting control retained
Fun fact: That BTC stash now outweighs Figma Ventures’ entire startup portfolio (18 projects). Priorities, right?
Why Bitcoin ETFs Are the New Corporate Treasury Playbook
Figma joins MicroStrategy in treating BTC as a reserve asset—but with designer flair. My analysis:
- Inflation hedge: With 2024 losses reversed, Figma’s betting on BTC’s scarcity over fiat volatility.
- Strategic signaling: Embracing crypto aligns with their web3-friendly user base (think NFT artists, DAO designers).
- Liquidity advantage: ETFs offer easier exposure than direct custody—a pragmatic choice for public companies.
Bottom line: This IPO isn’t just about valuations ($12.5B pre-debut). It’s a case study in how tech firms are rewriting corporate finance rules—one satoshi at a time.

From Pixels to Satoshis
Figma just turned their color palette to Bitcoin orange! That $70M ETF bet proves designers finally understand asset appreciation better than Adobe’s acquisition offers.
IPO or HODL?
With 26% returns already, maybe Dylan Field should pivot Figma into a crypto hedge fund. Their startup portfolio weighs less than that BTC stash - priorities sorted!

¡Figma se pasa al lado crypto! 🚀
Con una inversión de $70M en Bitcoin ETF, Figma no solo diseña interfaces… ¡también diseña su futuro financiero! 💰
Lo más épico: Su posición en BITB ya da un 26% de rentabilidad. ¿Quién necesita Adobe cuando tienes BTC? 😎
Y tú, ¿ya has revisado tu cartera hoy o sigues con el Paint de Windows? 🤣 #ToTheMoon
Figma se pasa al lado oscuro (cripto)
¡Quién lo diría! Figma, la reina del diseño, ahora está jugando con Bitcoin como si fuera un día cualquiera en El Salvador. ¿$70 millones en ETFs de Bitcoin? Parece que Dylan Field prefiere los satoshis a los píxeles.
La ironía: Su cartera de cripto vale más que su portafolio de startups. ¡Prioridades, amigos!
Y tú, ¿diseñarías en Figma sabiendo que están más hodl que tú en 2017? 😂 #CryptoDesigners
Figma tá jogando no time do Bitcoin!
Depois daquele ‘não’ da Adobe, Figma decidiu que se não pode vencer pelo design, vence pelo hodl! US$70 milhões em ETFs de Bitcoin? Isso é mais ousado que um drible do Neymar na área!
Designers viraram traders? Parece que a galera do pixel agora também sabe contar satoshis. Com 26% de retorno em BITB, até o Pablo Picasso ficaria orgulhoso dessa obra de arte financeira!
E você, já checou sua carteira hoje ou ainda tá só no Ctrl+Z? 😉
Figma vai além dos pixels e abraça o Bitcoin!
Quem diria que a gigante do design faria uma jogada tão ousada? US$ 70 milhões em Bitcoin ETF não é brincadeira! Depois do fracasso com a Adobe, eles provaram que sabem diversificar - e como!
Designers + Crypto = Love?
Parece que os criativos estão pegando gosto pelo mundo cripto. E por que não? Com 48% de crescimento na receita, dá pra arriscar um pouco, né? Afinal, como dizem: ‘quem não arrisca, não petisca’… ou melhor, não lucra em Bitcoin!
E aí, time? Acham que essa jogada vai render mais que um design premiado? Deixa nos comentários! 🚀
