📰 The CEO of crypto custody firm Copper, Amar Kuchinad, has left. He took the helm in October 2024, and nearly two years later, the timing lines up with the company’s sale process—prompting extra scrutiny.
🔥 Copper is currently seeking a sale through Cantor Fitzgerald. The initial asking price was around $500 million, but by the end of August, the bids received had fallen to roughly $200 million. The sale process has been underway for 4 months so far.
💡 What’s even more striking is that Copper’s peak valuation once exceeded $2 billion. Today’s market offers are simply not in the same ballpark as those earlier highs. To be honest, that kind of gap is undeniably heavy for a crypto custody company.
In fact, the CEO’s departure alone may not directly explain the outcome of the sale. But amid lowered bids and a deal that’s dragged on, leadership changes will still cause outsiders to re-examine the company’s operating condition and the buyer’s stance.
🤔 From a peak valuation of over $2 billion down to a bid of about $200 million—do you think Copper will ultimately close within this range, or could it still attract a higher offer?
