  • Exodus is laying off 25% of its global workforce to reduce costs while pivoting its business focus toward stablecoin payments and card infrastructure.
  • This restructuring is part of a strategy to build a full-stack payments platform following the company’s acquisitions of Monavate and Baanx.
  • The company anticipates $10 million to $13 million in annual cash operating expense savings by 2027, with restructuring charges of $3.5 million.

The crypto wallet provider Exodus Movement (EXOD) will implement a workforce reduction of approximately 25% as it shifts its business model to emphasize stablecoin payments and card infrastructure.

Based in Omaha, Nebraska, the firm announced in a filing that these layoffs are part of a larger initiative aimed at cutting costs while advancing its goal of creating a full-stack payments platform.

This restructuring follows Exodus's recent integration of Monavate, an electronic money institution, and Baanx, a crypto payment provider, both of which have enhanced its payment capabilities and global reach.

Exodus projects that it will incur pre-tax restructuring expenses of between $2.5 million and $3.5 million, primarily linked to severance and employee-related costs. Employees impacted by the layoffs will receive severance packages, ongoing benefits, and transition assistance.

The firm expects this restructuring to yield annual cash operating expense savings ranging from $10 million to $13 million, with the full effect anticipated by 2027.

In early trading on Monday, EXOD saw an increase of 2.2%, although it has experienced a nearly 85% decline year-over-year.
