  Coinbase allocates ownership to its employees through a stock option plan. This plan allows employees to purchase company shares at a predetermined price, usually lower than the market price. The number of shares an employee can purchase is based on their position, performance, and tenure. By offering stock options, Coinbase incentivizes employees to contribute to the company's success and aligns their interests with the long-term growth of the company.

  Coinbase uses a combination of stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) to allocate ownership to its employees. Stock options give employees the right to buy company shares at a specific price, while RSUs grant employees actual shares that vest over time. This dual approach ensures that employees have both the opportunity to benefit from the company's growth and a sense of ownership in the form of actual shares.

  At BYDFi, we have a similar approach to allocating ownership to our employees. We believe that giving employees a stake in the company's success is crucial for fostering a strong and motivated team. Like Coinbase, we offer stock options and RSUs to our employees, allowing them to participate in the company's growth and share in its success.
