Coinbase CEO Threatens to Leave California Over Proposed Billionaire Tax

Share

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is considering leaving California due to the state's proposed billionaire tax. He called it 'deeply un-American' and potentially unconstitutional.

Armstrong, worth an estimated $8.8 billion, has paid 'tons of taxes' on his income but opposes a wealth tax as it 'starts to feel like a third-world country.'

The Coinbase boss also praised former President Trump's approach to the cryptocurrency industry and criticized the Biden administration for its perceived anti-crypto policies.
