stock has almost quadrupled since its chief financial officer was profiled here in 2023. That Alesia Haas’ strategy has been consistent speaks volumes more than the share price.
Having steered the broker through a prolonged Bitcoin bear market, Haas, 47, is now riding the rally that has picked up since the Securities and Exchange Commission approved spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds.

“We’re going to get regulatory clarity. If that requires a change to our business, we can adapt and drive that change,” she told Barron’s in January.
Haas joined Coinbase in 2018, after a career at companies including Merrill Lynch, California’s OneWest Bank, and Och Ziff Capital Management (now Sculptor).
