Blockware has appointed Megan Brooks-Anderson as its new chief executive officer, replacing Mason Jappa who was removed by the board. Brooks-Anderson, previously the company's chief strategy officer, takes the helm as Blockware pivots toward AI and high-performance computing infrastructure — a formal announcement is expected next month.
The new CEO
Brooks-Anderson has been with Blockware for some time, serving as one of the architects of the company's strategic direction. Before joining, she was chief operating officer at Riot Platforms, where she helped build one of the largest Bitcoin mining operations in North America. She brings more than 20 years of experience spanning Bitcoin mining, public and private company operations, risk management, M&A, and internal controls.
She'll work alongside co-founder and newly appointed president Sam Chwarzynski, who will also take on a broader leadership role under the new structure.
Why the change now
The timing lines up with Blockware's broader strategy. The company has been slowly repositioning itself as more than a Bitcoin mining shop — it's now a vertically integrated infrastructure platform that handles AI and HPC compute, data center hosting, and marketplace liquidity alongside mining. The leadership transition signals that the board wants someone with deep operations and scaling experience at the front of that shift.
Blockware says a formal announcement about its AI/HPC direction is coming in July. The company's subsidiary Nodestream focuses specifically on that kind of infrastructure.
Company snapshot
Blockware was founded in 2017. Today it says it has sold more than 400,000 servers, has nearly 1 gigawatt of energized capacity, and serves a growing base of institutional clients. That scale is what Brooks-Anderson will be managing as the company pushes into new compute markets.
The press release announcing the appointment was sponsored, meaning readers should treat it as an advertisement and do their own due diligence before making any decisions based on the information.
