Coinbase CEO wants to hire DOGE staff to help improve the global financial system

By: bitcoin ethereum news|2025/05/14 17:45:04

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong extended a public invitation to employees of the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), encouraging them to apply for roles at the crypto exchange after they leave their current roles. Armstrong announced the move in a social media post on May 14, where he described the opportunity as a new mission for public servants seeking to continue improving systems at scale. He wrote: “This is an open call for any DOGE staff. If you are looking for your next mission after serving your country, consider helping create a more efficient financial system for the world at Coinbase.” The message links to a dedicated portal titled “Done with DOGE?” where current DOGE employees can submit applications and share their experiences. Armstrong said the form will expedite the application process for former DOGE staff in recognition of their contributions to the federal initiative. Established in early 2025 via President Donald Trump’s executive order, DOGE was tasked with streamlining federal operations and eliminating inefficiencies across agencies. Led by Elon Musk, the department gained national attention for its bold cost-cutting approach and tech-inspired management style. The program is scheduled to conclude operations by July 4, 2026. However, Musk is only allowed to serve up to 130 days in a single year as a “special government employee” and intends to reduce his involvement starting this month. Some DOGE staff members are expected to depart their roles at the agency in tandem. Armstrong’s invitation arrives amid renewed public attention on DOGE. It follows a widely circulated Fox News interview featuring DOGE staff member Ethan Shaotran, who dropped out of Harvard after being ostracized for working at the department. While the long-term legacy of DOGE remains subject to public debate, Armstrong’s outreach positions Coinbase as a landing zone for departing government talent, particularly those aligned with disruption, efficiency, and large-scale systems innovation. This week, the exchange made history by becoming the first crypto firm to be inducted into the S&P 500 index, heralding digital assets’ entry into mainstream finance.
