Zug, January 16, 2024 – Bitcoin Suisse announced today that Andrej Majcen, Co-Founder of Bitcoin Suisse and currently Head Global Expansion & Strategic Clients, will succeed Dirk Klee as Group CEO of Bitcoin Suisse as of February 1, 2024. The succession forms part of a strategic adjustment in response to changed external factors within the Swiss market environment. Dirk Klee will stay on as a senior advisor to the Board of Directors of Bitcoin Suisse and continue to support the development of the Digital Asset Management business of the company.

In the light of recent developments in Switzerland, the Board of Directors of Bitcoin Suisse has decided on a strategic adjustment and nominated Andrej Majcen as the successor and new Group CEO of Bitcoin Suisse to lead the company into the next phase of accelerated growth and international expansion. The Board of Directors of Bitcoin Suisse is very proud that Andrej Majcen, one of the most experienced leaders in the digital asset space, takes on the responsibility as CEO in this new decisive phase of Bitcoin Suisse. Luzius Meisser, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bitcoin Suisse, said: «Andrej Majcen has shown great leadership, expertise, and dedication to Bitcoin Suisse in various roles since he co-founded the company over ten years ago. He is committed to the highest regulatory and institutional standards and brings extensive crypto-financial knowledge as well as in-depth understanding of our industry to his new position. As CEO of Bitcoin Suisse Group, he will continue to drive the expansion of the company further and to build up our global presence, notably in the Middle East.» The Board of Directors wishes Andrej Majcen great success in his new role and is looking forward to the continued close collaboration.

Luzius Meisser thanked Dirk Klee for his achievements: «Since taking over at the helm at Bitcoin Suisse, Dirk Klee completed major milestones for the company. We launched a new technology platform with TCS BaNCS, achieved a major regulatory step up of our organization and are collaborating with strong institutional partners. Dirk Klee has done an outstanding job transforming the company into an institutional grade international business. We thank Dirk Klee for leading Bitcoin Suisse through what has been a challenging period for our company and the overall crypto industry. And I am looking forward to continuing working with him, in particular on developing the area of digital asset management as one of our most promising pillars of our business.»

Dirk Klee, current CEO of Bitcoin Suisse, said: «I am proud of our contribution to the global crypto ecosystem and of the platform we have built in Switzerland. During a prolonged crypto bear market, we diversified our revenue streams and most recently saw significant inflows in 2023. I believe that Andrej Majcen has the necessary skillset and proven track record to lead Bitcoin Suisse into the next phase of growth and expansion. Personally, I am very much looking forward to helping shape the future of Bitcoin Suisse as a senior advisor and shareholder.»

Andrej Majcen, designated CEO of Bitcoin Suisse, said: «The crypto-financial environment is rapidly evolving in terms of regulatory developments, institutional adoption, and the emerging of new markets. We believe that we are well positioned to benefit from these dynamics and from the positive market momentum. Due to the changed external circumstances, other license options are emerging that are better suited to our proven business model which we are now evaluating alternatively to a Swiss banking license. This goes hand in hand with an increased strategic focus on our business as well as on the advancement of our planned expansion into new target markets.»

Andrej Majcen added: «Our long-term vision about the significance of crypto currencies and digital assets, our ability to anticipate and take advantage of trends that shape our market, and our resilience throughout several crypto winters have been and still are essential for the success of Bitcoin Suisse. Dirk Klee was instrumental in the institutionalization of Bitcoin Suisse over the last two years. I thank him for driving our unique company further and for the smooth transition of his succession. Having recently celebrated my ten-year anniversary at Bitcoin Suisse, I am very excited to build our next phase of growth alongside this exceptional team, leveraging our state-of-the-art scalable platforms. Our collaborative efforts will contribute to our collective success as we continue our pioneering work in crypto asset investing and blockchain technology.»

The new composition of the Management Committee of Bitcoin Suisse AG under Andrej Majcen as of February 1, 2024, is subject to the necessary approval by the Financial Services Standards Association (VQF).
