Last year, we put out a global call for new Btrust Board members as part of a planned governance transition. Today, we’re excited to welcome @laurenceaderemi, @nduku_jay, and @brrrunog as the new Btrust Board of Directors. After a thoughtful and rigorous selection process, they now assume full governance responsibilities as the inaugural board completes its mandate. Each brings deep experience across Bitcoin infrastructure, open‑source development, and energy systems, and will help guide Btrust’s mission to decentralize Bitcoin development and expand opportunities for builders across the Global South.
