SOL Strategies CTO Max Kaplan to resign April 30, 2026

SOL Strategies Inc. (CSE: HODL) (NASDAQ: STKE) announced that Chief Technology Officer Max Kaplan will resign effective April 30, 2026, to pursue new opportunities. The company does not plan to immediately fill the CTO position.

Kaplan joined SOL Strategies through the acquisition of Orangefin Ventures on December 31, 2024, initially serving as Head of Staking before his appointment as CTO on January 30, 2025. During his tenure, he oversaw the integration of multiple validator operations and led the team that achieved SOC 1, SOC 2 Type 2, and ISO 27001 certifications.

"It's been a privilege to work alongside this team during a period where we built something genuinely durable," Kaplan said. "We've built a resilient framework of orchestration, monitoring and automation for our infrastructure, including several open-source tools."

Michael Hubbard, Interim CEO of SOL Strategies, said Kaplan "built the engineering foundation this company needed, got us through our security certifications, and leaves the team in a strong position."

The company stated that its validator operations, staking services, and core infrastructure are fully automated and staffed by an experienced team of senior engineers. SOL Strategies expects business operations to continue without interruption and does not anticipate the transition will affect day-to-day performance or service delivery.

The remaining engineering team will carry forward daily operations. SOL Strategies operates as a Canadian investment company specializing in the Solana blockchain ecosystem, providing strategic investments and infrastructure solutions.
