– Ben Werkman, a Bitcoin advocate with prior roles at Swan Bitcoin and as Strive’s independent director, assumes the CIO position to spearhead capital deployment and risk strategies for Strive’s (Nasdaq: ASST) Bitcoin treasury initiatives.
– The appointment coincides with surging corporate Bitcoin adoption, exemplified by MicroStrategy’s $30B+ holdings, positioning Strive to capitalize on digital assets as a balance sheet tool amid emerging “digital credit” trends.
– Werkman’s dual role as board observer and ongoing Swan/SQNS advisor underscores interconnected Bitcoin ecosystems, potentially boosting Strive’s growth through partnerships while maintaining his influence in on-ramp and IoT sectors.
I am honored to share that I have joined @strive as Chief Investment Officer.
This next step in my journey comes during a pivotal moment for Bitcoin as corporate adoption accelerates and digital credit is emerging as the next frontier of corporate finance. Strive is poised to set the standard as a leader, backed by a clear vision, an intelligently designed capital structure, and world-class management expertise.
Strive has always stood for capitalism, meritocracy, innovation, and financial liberty which are all values that resonate deeply with me. They are not only the foundation for building great companies, but also the bedrock of free markets and the prosperity they enable.
During my time supporting Strive from the Board, through both the merger with Asset Entities and the pursuit of accelerated growth with our alpha strategies, it became clear that this team is formidable. I have witnessed an infectious drive and passion, coupled with leadership that is steadfast in the pursuit of excellence and the achievement of ambitious goals. The Board of Directors and management team are all motivated by a deep conviction in Bitcoin’s future and an unwavering determination to deliver long-term value for shareholders.
As part of my appointment, I will transition from serving as an Independent Director to taking on the role of Board Observer in addition to CIO.
I want to thank @coryklippsten and the entire team at @Swan for their support and partnership over this past year. Swan’s mission to enable individuals and businesses to make Bitcoin their foundation for building wealth has been paramount in driving Bitcoin adoption forward. The incredible team at Swan already has an impressive list of accomplishments, and I look forward to their continued success in Bitcoin financial services and their expanding impact on the Bitcoin treasury landscape through the partnership with Sequans (SQNS), where I will continue to support as an advisor.
I could not be more excited to begin this next chapter, and I want to thank @ColeMacro and the entire Strive team for their trust and support in allowing me to help bring this vision to life. Now is the time to drive Strive’s mission forward and accelerate the corporate adoption of Bitcoin, where capital meets conviction.
Let’s build a better future with Bitcoin!
