Coinbase announced on September 2, 2026 that Anthony Armstrong, a former CFO of xAI and X, joined its board. The board grew from nine to ten members and Armstrong sits on the Audit and Compliance Committee. The change is governance rather than operational, but the audit seat matters for a company whose 2026 numbers have been weighed down by losses and restructuring.
