Crypto CEO Security Costs Surge as Physical Attacks Rise 75%

🔒 Coinbase allocated $7.6 million for CEO Brian Armstrong's personal security in 2025, marking a 20% increase due to a 75% rise in physical attacks on crypto holders.

💰 Other crypto firms are also ramping up security spending, with Gemini investing $2.5 million for its co-founders and Circle spending nearly $800,000 on its CEO, reflecting a broader industry trend.

🚨 The vulnerability of crypto owners stems from the pseudonymous nature of public blockchains, leading to increased demand for security services, as firms like Executive Risk Services report a surge in client inquiries.
