Surojit Chatterjee, the former chief product officer at Coinbase, will officially leave the company on Feb. 3 after reportedly making an estimated $105 million in stock sales.
Conform dezvăluirilor depusă with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Chatterjee will also retain 249,315 shares of Coinbase stock. At the time of publication, Coinbase stock was valued at $54.28 per share, so those shares are worth $13.5 million.
Chatterjee joined Coinbase from Google in February 2020 with a salary of just under $1 million per year. In recognition of Chatterjee’s contributions to the company, Coinbase and Chatterjee have entered into a separation agreement that includes severance benefits and a deal for him to provide advisory services from Feb. 4 through to Dec. 31.
According to disclosures that Coinbase filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Chatterjee will receive “a lump sum payment consistent with our existing Change of Control and Severance Policy, which provides for payments and benefits to executive officers upon certain qualifying terminations.” In addition, Chatterjee will “continue to receive health insurance coverage pursuant to COBRA for a period of ten months following the month of the Separation Date.” The severance benefits are contingent upon “Mr. Chatterjee not revoking a separation and release of claims in favor of the Company.”
Într-un Linkedin post announcing his departure from Coinbase, Chatterjee stated:
„Aștept cu nerăbdare să continui să contribui în rolul meu de consilier al lui Brian și al echipei executive și să continui munca grea, dar critică, de a crea mai multă libertate economică și de a construi un internet mai bun pentru toată lumea.”

Coinbase continues to face challenges amid current market conditions. On Jan 18, Cointelegraph reported that Coinbase would terminate its operations in Japan and conduct a complete review of its business in the country due to market conditions.
As a result, all Coinbase Japan customers have until Feb. 16 to withdraw their fiat and cryptocurrency holdings from the platform. After Feb. 17, any remaining crypto assets held by Coinbase Japan customers will be converted to Japanese yen.
