Robinhood Markets, una de las empresas de comercio de acciones y criptografía más destacadas con sede en Menlo Park, California, tiene como objetivo comprar las acciones que vendió al fundador y exdirector ejecutivo de la criptobolsa en quiebra FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, también conocido como SBF en el espacio criptográfico. Estas acciones de HOOD han sido un asunto crucial por el que muchas entidades han estado peleando. Curiosamente, el directorio de la empresa estadounidense de servicios financieros también ha dado su aprobación para la compra de las acciones. 

Over 50 million Robinhood shares were first purchased by Sam Bankman-Fried and co-founder of FTX, Gary Wang, in early 2022 when rumors were circulated in the market that SBF’s exchange will take over the American financial services provider. However, this did not happen, as both companies denied the rumors not much later. Interestingly, the Department of Justice (DoJ) currently has control over the HOOD shares, which are currently worth close to $590 million at the time of writing.

“Looking back over the past year, I’m incredibly proud of the tremendous execution of our team on our 2022 product roadmap. We’re now starting to see meaningful traction on a number of the products we launched, which gives us confidence they can grow into significant business lines over time,” said Vlad Tenev, CEO and Co-Founder of Robinhood Markets. 

Moreover, Tenev, along with his co-founder Baiju Bhatt, also confirmed the cancellation of nearly $500 million in share-based compensation to ensure the company “has as many resources as possible to deliver value to customers and shareholders.” 2022 was a rocky year for Robinhood, as its stock plummeted significantly and the company also failed to maintain the growth rate that it had enjoyed in the bull run. 

It is crucial to note that, as per an earlier report from Bitnation, Bankman-Fried’s holding company, Emergent Fidelity Technologies, filed for bankruptcy. This is the firm that currently holds the 50 million Robinhood shares, which were purchased by SBF using funds from FTX’s sister company, Alameda Research. 

Moreover, the DoJ seized around 55,273,469 shares of Robinhood (HOOD) along with $20 million in cash from Emergent Fidelity Technologies, which were cited as the “only known assets” belonging to the holding company. Prior to the seizure by the DoJ, these shares were held by brokerage firm ED&F Man Capital Markets. These shares have been a point of contention among BlockFi, FTX creditor Yonathan Ben Shimon, and Bankman-Fried himself. 

“We continued to deliver on our product roadmap and kept our costs lean. On the capital management front, our Board authorized us to pursue purchasing most or all of our shares that Emergent Fidelity Technologies bought in May 2022. The proposed share purchase underscores the confidence the Board of Directors and management team have in our business,” Jason Warnick, Chief Financial Officer of Robinhood Markets, stated. 

Por otro lado, el informe de ganancias también confirmó que Robinhood fue testigo de un aumento de 5% en sus ingresos totales netos, que rondaron los $380 millones. Sin embargo, los ingresos basados en transacciones disminuyeron 11% secuencialmente a $186 millones en el cuarto trimestre de 2022, mientras que los ingresos netos por intereses aumentaron 30% secuencialmente a $167 millones.
