Coinbase is a company that lets people buy and sell cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin. It's a big company in the US and was started by two people in 2012. The company doesn't have a physical headquarters and all the employees work from home. In 2020, Coinbase decided to close its San Francisco office and operate entirely remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which was a trend seen in many other tech companies at the time.[4][5][6][7]
