**Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.**

On May 5, 2026, Coinbase Global, Inc. (the "Company") announced a restructuring plan (the "Plan") to (i) manage its operating expenses in response to current market conditions and (ii) optimize the Company's operations for the AI era. The Plan involves a reduction of the Company's workforce by approximately 700 employees, representing approximately 14% of the Company's global workforce as of May 1, 2026. The Company expects execution of the Plan to be substantially complete in the second quarter of 2026.

In connection with these actions, the Company estimates that it will incur approximately $50 million to $60 million in total restructuring expenses, substantially all of which are future cash-based expenditures and related to employee severance and other termination benefits. The Company expects to recognize substantially all of these charges in the second quarter of 2026.

The estimates of the charges and expenditures that the Company expects to incur in connection with the Plan, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law and consultation requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual amounts may differ materially from estimates. The Company may also incur charges and expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur in connection with the Plan.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements related to the number of positions affected by the Plan and the estimated restructuring charges associated with, and the time frame for completion of and recognition of charges associated with, the Plan. These forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information available to management as of the date they are made. However, investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because they speak only as of the date they are made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, events and developments to differ materially from the Company's historical experience and its present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not necessarily limited to, those described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
