Zcash mining company Fortitude appoints Jaime Leverton, formerly CEO of Hut 8, as its new chief executive as it expands operations and moves toward a planned public listing.
Both outlets report that Leverton will lead Fortitude, including efforts tied to its path to going public. CoinDesk adds that Fortitude is owned by Digital Currency Group (DCG) and that it is pursuing a public listing through a proposed merger involving HeartSciences, alongside a Nasdaq-related process referenced in its reporting. Cointelegraph frames the update more broadly around Fortitude’s operational expansion and its intended listing timeline, without emphasizing the same deal mechanics.
Overall, the sources agree on the leadership change and Fortitude’s ongoing move toward a public market transaction, while differing in emphasis on the specific merger structure and the Nasdaq detail.
