Four, including interim CEO Stafford Masie, have resigned from Africa Bitcoin Corporation after receiving demands from a majority of shareholders for their removal.

Africa Bitcoin Corporation (ABC), the JSE’s first bitcoin treasury company, has just two directors remaining after the resignation of interim CEO Stafford Masie and three other directors.

This was announced in a Sens notice published on Monday where Masie and three independent directors – Norma Sephuma, Snowy Masakale and GG Alcock – resigned after receiving what are described as “aggressive” demands from the majority of shareholders seeking to remove them.
