Crypto media outlet Cointelegraph is looking for potential buyers, according to CoinDesk, which cited a person familiar with the matter. The report said no sale price has been disclosed.
CoinDesk linked the sale effort to a steep decline in site traffic, driven by a prolonged downturn in the crypto market and a Google search penalty. In October 2025, Google imposed a manual action on Cointelegraph, cutting its organic search traffic by about 80%, the report said.
Similarweb data cited in the report showed Cointelegraph’s monthly visits fell from more than 12 million in December 2024 to just over 700,000 in September 2026. Cointelegraph was founded in 2013 and currently has more than 200 employees. As of publication, the company had not responded to a request for comment.
