About Etsy
Etsy (ETSY) is a public Marketplace company, incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Brooklyn, NY.
Equity grants at Etsy typically include restricted stock units (RSUs).
Etsy, Inc. is an American e-commerce company focused on handmade or vintage items and craft supplies. Its marketplace includes categories such as jewelry, apparel, home decor, furniture, toys, and art. Items described as vintage must be at least 20 years old. The platform provides sellers with individual storefronts where they list their goods for a fee of US$0.20 per item. Since 2013, the company has allowed the sale of mass-manufactured items.

Rob Kalin and co-founders launched the marketplace in Brooklyn in 2005 for handmade and vintage goods, a deliberate counterposition to mass retail. Sellers are largely individuals and small studios, which makes the take rate, advertising, and payments the revenue model rather than inventory. The pandemic brought a surge driven partly by cloth masks, followed by a multi-year normalization. Reverb for musical instruments and Depop for secondhand fashion were acquired in 2019 and 2021. Headquarters remain in Brooklyn, and the company is a certified B Corporation.

Equity comp at Etsy
- RSUs use single-trigger vesting: shares become yours as each portion vests on schedule, and the value is taxed as ordinary income at that point. No IPO or acquisition is required.

A protective put caps your downside on the ETSY position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current ETSY option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.

Etsy equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge ETSY stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and ETSY's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current ETSY option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Etsy grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Etsy typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do Etsy RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. Etsy restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
