Twenty One Capital will appoint Raphael Zagury as CEO on July 20, replacing founder Jack Mallers, who is returning full-time to Strike, his bitcoin payments company.
The company also confirmed Strike is leaving the three-way merger proposed by Tether in April. That leaves a possible two-way combination between Twenty One and bitcoin miner Elektron Energy under evaluation.
The announcement combines a leadership transition with a narrower transaction path for a company tied to Bitcoin infrastructure.
