MANAGEMENT GUIDANCE

Q1 2026

Subscription and Services Revenue
$550000.0B—$630000.0B
Mid-point: $590000.0B
"Reflects lower Average USDC Market Capitalization and interest rates, as well as lower average crypto prices and staking protocol rates compared to Q4."
Transaction Expenses as a percentage of net revenue
"Low-to-Mid Teens as a percentage of net revenue. Dependent on revenue mix."
Technology & Development + General & Administrative Expenses
925,000,000—975,000,000
Mid-point: 950,000,000
"Flat as compared to Q4’25. Higher compensation-related expenses expected to be offset by professional fees savings."
Sales and Marketing Expenses
$215000.0B—$315000.0B
Mid-point: $265000.0B
"Flat to down as compared to Q4’25. Where we fall within the range will largely be determined by (1) whether we continue to see attractive performance marketing opportunities throughout the remainder of Q1 and (2) Average USDC Held in Coinbase Products, which drive USDC rewards."
Total Stock-based Compensation
250,000,000
"Included in expense ranges above. Driven by recent acquisitions and headcount growth."
