  A coinbase bitcoin address serves as the destination for newly minted bitcoins. When a new block is added to the blockchain, the miner who successfully solves the cryptographic puzzle is rewarded with a certain amount of bitcoins. This reward, known as the coinbase transaction, is sent to a specific bitcoin address. The purpose of the coinbase bitcoin address is to ensure that the newly created bitcoins are allocated to a specific entity, in this case, the miner who mined the block.

  In simpler terms, a coinbase bitcoin address is like a bank account where newly created bitcoins are deposited. Miners use their computing power to validate transactions and secure the network. As a reward for their efforts, they receive bitcoins, which are sent to their coinbase address. This address is unique to each miner and allows them to receive their mining rewards.
