contents A biquandle is a solution to the set-theoretical Yang-Baxter equation, which yields invariants for virtual knots such as the coloring number and the state-sum invariant. A virtual biquandle enriches the structure of a biquandle by incorporating an invertible unary map. This unary operator plays a crucial role in defining the action of virtual crossings on the labels of incoming arcs in a virtual link diagram. This leads to extensions of invariants from biquandles to virtual biquandles, thereby enhancing their strength. In this article, we establish a connection between the coloring invariant derived from biquandles and virtual biquandles. We prove that the number of colorings of a virtual link $L$ by virtual biquandles can be recovered from colorings by biquandles. We achieve this by proving the equivalence between two different representations of virtual braid groups. Furthermore, we introduce a new set of labeling rules using which one can construct a presentation of the associated fundamental virtual biquandle of $L$ using only the relations coming from the classical crossings. This is an improvement to the traditional method, where writing down a presentation of the associated fundamental virtual biquandle necessitates noting down the relations arising from the classical and virtual crossings.
