Cypherpunk Technologies, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based privacy technology company, has appointed Amanda Fabiano to its Board of Directors. Fabiano brings extensive experience in digital asset mining, infrastructure development, and public company governance, including senior leadership roles at Nakamoto, TeraWulf, Galaxy, and Fidelity. Her appointment follows the launch of Cypherpunk Mining, which has deployed approximately 4.2 GSol/s of Zcash mining capacity across the United States.
Fabiano currently serves as Chief Operating Officer of Nakamoto Inc., a publicly traded Bitcoin-focused company, and as an independent director of TeraWulf Inc., a publicly traded Bitcoin mining company that has expanded into artificial intelligence and high-performance computing infrastructure.
Previously, Fabiano held senior mining and investment positions at Galaxy and Fidelity, where she helped develop some of the earliest institutional digital asset mining programs. Her experience includes building and scaling mining operations, overseeing digital infrastructure investments, and managing businesses operating within publicly traded organizations.
The appointment comes as Cypherpunk expands its Zcash mining activities and pursues additional investments in privacy-focused technologies. Fabiano’s experience in mining infrastructure and corporate governance will support the company’s strategy as it develops its mining operations and broader technology portfolio.
Cypherpunk launched its mining business in August 2026, establishing approximately 4.2 GSol/s of mining hashrate across the United States. The company reported that Cypherpunk Mining generated 3,023.13 ZEC in mining rewards between August 18 and August 31, 2026, all of which were added to its corporate treasury.
The mining operation is one component of Cypherpunk’s broader strategy to increase its exposure to Zcash, a cryptocurrency designed to support financial privacy.
The company is pursuing three primary strategic initiatives: mining Zcash through Cypherpunk Mining, accumulating ZEC through open-market purchases, and investing in, acquiring, and developing privacy-focused technologies.
Its approach combines direct ownership of Zcash with mining infrastructure and investments in technologies intended to expand privacy capabilities across the internet.
By building its mining operations, Cypherpunk aims to generate additional ZEC while expanding its presence in digital asset infrastructure. The company is simultaneously developing a portfolio of privacy technologies through investments, acquisitions, and internal development.
In addition to its digital asset and privacy technology activities, Cypherpunk operates through its subsidiary Leap Therapeutics, which is developing novel cancer treatments. Leap continues to advance its therapeutic candidates, including sirexatamab and FL-501.
Fabiano’s appointment strengthens Cypherpunk’s board as the company expands its digital asset infrastructure and pursues its broader strategy of developing technologies that give individuals greater control over their information.
