There's a lot more to Jack Mallers stepping down as CEO of XXI than the headline suggests. We dig into the layers of palace intrigue beneath the surface. [Spoken audio]: All right. Big news of the day. We've got Jack Mahler stepping down as CEO of 21 Capital XXI. If you look at the comments, most people are there patting him on the back. They're saying, good job. Time to go focus on strike. Your baby. Go do the good thing over there. And if you look closer, though, there's there's been some signs underneath the surface that things haven't been great. I mean, for the last year, Jack would go on his live stream and people would ask him in the comments, what's up with 21, what's the plan, and he would be teasing how things were coming. But at the end, it sort of fizzled. There really was no big plan that he could allude to. That was until April, the Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas. We got the big plan emerge strike jacks company with electron mining tethers mining company in with 21 to create this giant conglomeration. And that deal sounded good, but it would have forced Jack to full strike the company that he started in loves into Tether's machine. He's the CEO of 21, but there is a board that he did not sit on. So what was Tether's goal in creating 21? They obviously wanted a publicly listed company here in America. Jack was the face as a CEO that helped them get that job done mission accomplished, but the stock did not do so well. I mean, it listed at $10 shot all the way up to nearly 60, but is now trading it around five bucks down nearly 90% from its highs. And then what does tether get out of Jack Leithing? Well, they get their man in the number one position, Raphael Zagary. He's got decades in finance and is the CEO of Electron, their mining outfit, but he comes with a history. Zagary used to run mining over at Swan, but when he left, Swan sued him, alleging he walked off with company secrets and steered the Swan and Tether mining venture over entirely to DeTether side. And while that lawsuit was dismissed back in June, Swan says it is still pursuing him in arbitration. So Raphael takes over as the CEO and it's sort of messy. It's not fully finished. But the main case has fell apart. So that means that he can step in no problem. Now to the money because the internet got a lot of this part wrong. A lot of people were saying that Jack was paid to leave. That's not true. And you'll see from the headlines that he made $140 million from working there. That is also not true. That was all mostly stock options, and they are now basically worthless. What he actually took home in cash for 15 months was a few million dollars, mostly salary and cashing out shares that he'd earned while working there. So as a a few million dollars, just compensation for the work that he did. I mean, it's a publicly traded company. You could say so. Others would argue, no, the company really didn't do much of anything and the stock price got eviscerated in the process. So at the end of the day, Jack is getting applauded for walking away on his terms and he's definitely been fairly paid for his time. But the company didn't deliver, shareholders got burned, and the grand plan to challenge Saylor as the number one Bitcoin Treasury company definitely didn't come to fruition. So is it an L? Yeah, kind of. But building in public takes guts. It's hard to be the face of a company when it simply isn't working and you are not allowed to say much. and then at the end of the day walk away. Now Jack goes back to strike a company that he started and loves has done a lot of good for the Bitcoin community and ecosystem and continues to innovate. So I think people are very happy about Jack's renewed focus on his number one mission. And on the surface it might seem all cordial there's no public blow-up but make no mistake this was Tether consolidating their control and Jack taking the one exit that let him keep strike. So the real question is what is 21 without Jack Mahler's. It's fully Tether's company now out in the open and we'll be watching.
$ANSEM hype is building stronger
I think if $MSTR manages to get back above here, it's a very good and still highly unpopular play. But would show at least some strength and the potential for this being a wipe of the levels since 2024. We are -82% in 12 months on this market.
