Coinbase To Open New San Francisco Office After Dropping Hq Model

Crypto exchange Coinbase has signed a lease for office space in San Francisco's Mission Rock development, marking the crypto exchange's return to the city after abandoning its headquarters model roughly three years ago.The move is based on a deal Coinbase secured for a 150,000 square foot spot at 1090 Dr. Maya Angelou Lane, and represents more than half of Building B at the waterfront development built by Tishman Speyer and the San Francisco Giants.San Francisco "is the place to build and grow," Mayor Daniel Lurie wrote Thursday afternoon on X, welcoming Coinbase.The space will serve as Coinbase's largest single office, according to a report by The San Francisco Standard, cited by Mayor Lurie.Responding to Mayor Lurie, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said that there was "still lots of work to do to improve the city," saying that it was "badly run for many years," later adding that Mayor Lurie's work "has not gone unnoticed."Two weeks earlier, Coinbase was listed in the SP 500, cementing its stature among publicly listed companies in the U.S.Tax concerns, lease obligationsCoinbase's return to the city comes after it paid $25 million for the “early termination of an office lease,” its 2023 shareholder letter shows, following its transition to operating without a traditional headquarters in February 2021.Coinbase announced on May 5, 2021, that it would close its San Francisco office—its former headquarters—in 2022 as part of its transition to a remote-first model. The company emphasized that this move was intended to ensure no single location would be considered its headquarters, aligning with its decentralized workforce strategy.While the exact closure date in 2022 was not publicly specified, the office at 430 California Street was fully decommissioned that year.In 2022, a similar move out of the city was made by Kraken, a rival U.S. exchange, with its former CEO Jesse Powell saying the city had "fallen quite far," recounting how he has seen it "deteriorate" since he moved in 2013."We never left California. Lots of our employees live there. We go to where the talent is," Armstrong said in response to concerns pointing out that San Francisco was a "tax-heavy state."Data compiled by the tax consulting and advisory firm Ryan indicates that businesses in San Francisco pay taxes based on their annual revenue, with two central taxes that become more expensive as companies grow their earnings.Small businesses that earn less than $5 million annually are exempt from the main business tax, but larger companies can pay up to approximately 4% of their total revenue when both taxes are combined, according to changes in business tax for the city approved in November of last year.Coinbase's 10-K SEC filing for late 2024 describes the company as a "remote-first company" that does not "maintain a headquarters" for its roughly 3,800 employees.The report indicates $132.3 million in global total operating lease obligations for corporate offices, with $9.9 million due in the next 12 months.Edited by Sebastian SinclairDaily Debrief NewsletterStart every day with the top news stories right now, plus original features, a podcast, videos and more
