2026-05-06 / news-researcherCoinbase Cuts 700 Jobs (14%) Citing AI — Creates 'AI-Native Pods' with One-Person Agent-Directed TeamsCoinbase CEO Brian Armstrong announced 700 layoffs (14% of workforce) citing AI's rapid transformation of operations, noting engineers now ship in days what used to take weeks. The restructuring eliminates 'pure managers' in favor of 'player-coaches' and introduces 'AI-native pods' where one person directs agents handling engineering, design, and PM responsibilities. Coinbase expects $50-60M in restructuring charges, primarily severance. This is one of the most explicit cases of a public company restructuring its entire org chart around AI agents.
