Soon you’ll be able to buy the company that helps you buy Bitcoin.
Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S., has announced plans to go public but it will eschew the traditional initial public offering (IPO) process of hiring investment banks to drum up interest and finance the deal.
Instead, Coinbase plans to post its shares straight on an exchange via a so-called direct listing, a technique pioneered by big names like Spotify (SPOT) and Palantir (PLTR) in recent years.
This nontraditional yet trendy choice makes a certain amount of sense for the Coinbase narrative, given that the company has aided and abetted the similarly non-establishment cryptocurrency craze over the past decade. Whether Bitcoin itself actually replaces dollars or develops further as a speculative asset remains to be seen.

This spring, as
Kevin O’Leary
was applying for Paycheck Protection Plan loans for his companies, he came across some alarming statistics. Company records suggested that his young employees were not saving.
“I was stunned to find out that almost 95% of my employees in their late 20s and 30s have nothing set aside,” he told
Forbes Advisor’s
during a socially distanced interview this week.
His employees are hardly alone. Almost a quarter of Americans have nothing saved for retirement and about 40% wouldn’t be able to cover a $400 emergency, according to the Federal Reserve.

IRA guru
Ed Slott doesn’t trust politicians with his taxes and doesn’t think you should, either.
He’s a well-known retirement expert (and a recovering certified public accountant) who leads seminars for financial planners, advises regular folks on how to retire securely and recently updated his 2003 classic, “The New Retirement Savings Time Bomb,” to address Congress’ latest indiscretion.
Slott recently spoke with Forbes Advisor’s Taylor Tepper about how savers should do whatever they can to avoid taxes in their golden years, even if it means paying taxes upfront. This interview has been lightly edited for clarity and length.
