Business intelligence firm MicroStrategy has appointed former Binance.US CEO Brian Brooks, along with executives Jane Dietze and Gregg Winiarski, to its board of directors.

The appointments were disclosed on December 20 in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), following the company’s inclusion in the Nasdaq 100.

Brooks and Dietze, who also serve on the board of Galaxy Digital, along with Winiarski, the Chief Legal Officer at Fanatics Holdings, have expanded MicroStrategy’s board to nine members. The filing also notes that they will be eligible to receive equity awards.

Brooks stepped down as CEO of Binance.US in August 2021, just four months after taking the position, citing differences in strategy as the reason for his departure.

In a post on X, Swan Bitcoin highlighted the importance of Brooks’ appointment, describing it as a “BIG deal.” The platform pointed to his experience as acting Comptroller of the Currency in 2021, where he managed the U.S. banking system and built strong connections within the industry.

The crypto-focused platform MacroScope also praised the appointment of the three executives, highlighting them as valuable additions, with a special focus on Brooks’ credentials.

MicroStrategy’s Nasdaq 100 Inclusion

In addition to its software solutions, MicroStrategy is recognized for its public stance on Bitcoin, with Executive Chairman Michael Saylor advocating for the cryptocurrency as a store of value and as a hedge against inflation. As of late 2024, the company’s Bitcoin holdings are worth billions, and it has built its brand identity around its Bitcoin investment strategy.

MicroStrategy’s addition to the Nasdaq 100, announced in December 2024, marked an important milestone for the company. It reflects the firm’s growing market value, which is influenced both by its business intelligence services and its Bitсoin holdings.

Inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 is significant because it places MicroStrategy among the top-performing and most influential companies in the U.S. stock market, enhancing its visibility and credibility in the financial world.
