According to Foresight News, Bloomberg reported that in a detailed disclosure of executive compensation submitted to regulators in April, Coinbase paid $6.2 million in personal security fees for its CEO Brian Armstrong last year. Similar documents indicate that this amount is higher than the combined security fees paid to the respective CEOs by JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Nvidia.
American companies engaged in digital token business are paying security fees for executives. Circle announced its intention to go public earlier this year and paid approximately $800,000 in personal security fees for CEO Jeremy Allaire in 2024, while Robinhood paid about $1.6 million for Vlad Tenev.
