- The company will cut about 700 jobs as part of a strategic shift to become more efficient and "AI-native."
- The move initially sent shares up nearly 4% in pre-market trading as investors reacted to the potential for lower costs, but the stock fell into negative territory during the main session.
- Coinbase estimates it will incur $50 million to $60 million in restructuring costs, primarily for severance and termination benefits, which are expected to be recognized in the second quarter of 2026.
