Former Binance.US CEO Brian Brooks takes board seat at MicroStrategy
Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy has expanded its board of directors by appointing former Binance.US CEO Brian Brooks, along with two other executives. This addition follows MicroStrategy's recent announcement of its inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 index. Brooks, alongside Jane Dietze from Galaxy Digital and Gregg Winiarski from Fanatics Holdings, increases the total number of board members to nine. The appointment is seen as significant, particularly by Swan Bitcoin, which highlighted Brooks' previous oversight of the US banking system as a valuable asset. Brooks has recently been in the spotlight following rumors about his potential nomination as SEC Chair. This move comes after Nasdaq confirmed MicroStrategy's inclusion in the index alongside notable companies like Palantir and Axon, marking a pivotal moment for the software firm that has transitioned into a prominent Bitcoin holder since 2020.
