The platform, which has launched several NFT collections, also holds other unnamed digital assets for use by its engineering team.

With its investment in crypto, Reddit joins the ranks of major American companies betting on Bitcoin and consorts such as Tesla, Block and MicroStrategy.

The amount of BTC and ETH held by the social network was not disclosed, however. According to the document, the net book value of its tokens was “negligible” over the given periods.
