Equity
Equity is ownership of anything with value, representing both the assets and liabilities of that ownership.
Equity is ownership of anything with value, representing both the assets and liabilities of that ownership. The total shareholders’ equity in a company is the sum of all assets minus all liabilities. This is one of the primary numbers detailed in a company’s balance sheet.
The shareholders’ equity is usually lower than a company’s valuation, since investors expect the company to create value in the future.
Equity is a fundamental financial concept used in investment analysis, portfolio management, and asset valuation. Onramp's glossary covers Equity as part of a comprehensive educational library that helps Bitcoin investors make informed financial decisions.
