Crypto media firm Cointelegraph is looking for a buyer after Google penalty crushed web traffic
Summary
Cointelegraph is seeking a buyer, according to a person familiar with the matter; no asking price was disclosed. The crypto news company has faced a sharp decline in audience amid weak crypto markets and an estimated 80% fall in organic traffic after Google issued a manual penalty in October 2025. Similarweb data put monthly visits above 12 million in December 2024, but just over 700,000 as of September 1. Founded in 2013, Cointelegraph has more than 200 employees. The company did not immediately comment.
