Some company lists their patents on their website, e.g. Peloton's website (mirror).

What are the upsides and downsides for a company to list all their patents on their website?

I'd be speculating, but I'd guess that listing the patents makes it easier to claim "willful infringement" for which there may be enhanced damages.

As for downsides, if you are a patent troll, it might be in your interest to not publicize your IP in the hopes of catching someone using it inadvertently.
