The first publicly traded company to leverage Canton Coin (“CC”) to support the Canton Network’s ability to digitize traditional financial markets, today announced the appointment of seasoned financial executive Jacob Asbury as Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. In this role, he will oversee all financial strategy and operations, including capital planning, treasury management, financial reporting, and the continued expansion of Tharimmune’s CC treasury infrastructure.
Mr. Asbury brings nearly two decades of financial leadership across capital markets, brokerage, and fintech. Following his tenure as CFO of Clear Street Group, Inc., Mr. Asbury led an independent advisory practice focused on financial systems implementation, reporting optimization, and process automation. Earlier in his career, Mr. Asbury held CFO roles at Performance Flight & Custom Jet Charters and Instinet Incorporated. He holds a B.S. degree from the University of Vermont.
“Jacob’s deep financial leadership experience and a track record of delivering innovative approaches to financial operations, which is critical to our ability to create value for shareholders through our digital asset treasury strategy,” said Mark Wendland, CEO of Tharimmune, Inc. “With his strong roots in capital markets and his unique perspective as an operator, Jacob’s appointment signals our continued commitment to building the future rails of markets infrastructure through the Canton Network.”
Mr. Asbury added, “The Canton Network has the ability to transform how financial markets operate, and Tharimmune has positioned itself at the forefront of this evolution. I am proud to join a differentiated leadership team and look forward to leveraging my experience to help the Company advance these efforts and create long-term value for both shareholders and the Canton community.”
Tharimmune established its differentiated digital asset treasury (“DAT”) strategy in November 2025, driving value not only by acquiring CC, but also by applying to operate as a Super Validator and investing in applications built on the Canton Network that accelerate institutional utility and adoption across capital markets. Tharimmune is the first and only publicly traded company supported by the Canton Foundation.
