SOL Strategies names Jon Matonis as board chairman

SOL Strategies Inc. (CSE: HODL) (NASDAQ: STKE) appointed Jon Matonis as Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective May 11, 2026, according to a company statement. Matonis resigned from his role as Chief Economist on May 12, 2026.

Matonis is a founding director of the Bitcoin Foundation and has over two decades of experience in financial cryptography, digital currency, and monetary policy. He previously held executive positions at VISA and VeriSign and has advised blockchain ventures across multiple market cycles. He holds a bachelor's degree in Economics from George Washington University.

The executive has been with SOL Strategies since 2018 and served as a director since May 2020. Luis Berruga continues to serve as a Director on the Board.

"I want to start by thanking Luis for his service as Chairman of the Board. During his tenure he oversaw several key transactions and helped strengthen the Company's governance," said Michael Hubbard, CEO of SOL Strategies. "With our acquisition of Darklake and our agreement to acquire HoudiniSwap, we're deepening our position as an operating business."

The appointment comes as the company recently announced its acquisition of Darklake's Zyga zero-knowledge proof system and a definitive agreement to acquire HoudiniSwap.

"I've spent my career making the case that financial privacy matters. Few companies in crypto are actually building toward it in a serious way: SOL Strategies is one of them," said Matonis.

SOL Strategies describes itself as a Canadian investment company specializing in the Solana ecosystem, providing strategic investments and infrastructure solutions for decentralized applications.
