"This is gonna be really bad, so we need to get out in front of it." That's what it sounds like to me.

When the actual story comes out it is not such a big news any more, because it is not news any more. First impressions often last, so now the first impressions is that the story is fake.
So even if their response does amplify the story, it might amplify a good story rather than a bad one. So go even so far as to say "all publicity is good publicity"
Why not? I was never going to read said article. Now I am, based on this post, alone. This was never going to be headline news.

Except my first impression is that it is real, not fake, based on this response, because companies lie all the damn time. I imagine many don't believe in company PR at all.
The NYT is far from objective, so this may actually work.
That said, I think Popper specifically has done a decent job with tech stories in the past. So I reserve judgement. But only because of him, not because of the NYT.
Especially given the circumstances of the article.
One thing I do know - I would not have read this article had it not been for this post by Coinbase.
