Tether adds independent directors to the board of Twenty One Capital, restoring the complete structure of the audit committee

According to official news, Tether announced that it has appointed a new independent director to the board of Bitcoin reserve company Twenty One Capital (XXI) to fill the previous vacancy in the audit committee. The company stated that this appointment complies with the independence requirements of the SEC's Securities Exchange Act Rule 10A-3 and the New York Stock Exchange listing rules.

This vacancy arose after Tether acquired the shares of XXI held by SoftBank Group on May 20, leading to the termination of the governance agreement between the two parties, and the resignation of the directors appointed by SoftBank, one of whom was a member of the audit committee.

It was introduced that Twenty One Capital currently holds over 43,500 bitcoins and is positioned as a vertically integrated Bitcoin company, with business covering Bitcoin mining, asset reserves, capital markets, and financial services.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that XXI is building one of the most important Bitcoin companies in the world, and therefore the company prioritizes ensuring that the board has an independent oversight mechanism that meets SEC and NYSE requirements to match its strong balance sheet.
