The letter from Mr. Armstrong was published in the following tweet Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong today announced the difficult decision to reduce the size of the Coinbase team by 18%. The details and rationale are in Brian’s email to employees, which is publicly available for all to see,” the company added.

Armstrong’s letter explains that the decision was made so that Coinbase can remain healthy.” Armstrong wrote, “Today, I made the difficult decision to reduce the size of our team by about 18% in order to remain healthy during this economic downturn. He continued, “I would like to explain below why we made this decision, but I want to begin by providing some accountability for how we got here. I am the CEO and the responsibility is mine.

Armstrong further noted that “economic conditions are changing rapidly” and that “managing costs in a down market is very important.” He also noted that Coinbase “grew too quickly.” All employees will receive a letter from the human resources (HR) department, Armstrong elaborated. The letter will state whether they “will or will not be affected by these layoffs,” Armstrong said. The laid-off employees will receive a minimum of 14 weeks severance pay, four months of COBRA health insurance, and access to the Talent Hub.
