CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cypherpunk Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: CYPH) (“Cypherpunk”), the privacy technology company, today announced that Arjun Khemani has joined the company as a Strategic Advisor. Khemani, a prominent voice in the Zcash ecosystem and the “philosophy of progress” movement, will provide high-level guidance as Cypherpunk accelerates its mission to scale privacy-preserving digital infrastructure.
As a Strategic Advisor, Khemani will offer insights into ecosystem dynamics, the philosophical drivers of privacy adoption, and long-term strategies to foster a culture of digital self-sovereignty. His appointment follows the recent addition of prominent crypto executive and privacy advocate Josh Swihart and Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox&nbsp;as advisors, further strengthening Cypherpunk’s position at the forefront of the privacy ecosystem.
<blockquote>
 “Zcash is the machinery of freedom. I’m excited to help Cypherpunk execute toward that vision. The long promised sci-fi future of infinite frontiers will be made real by encrypted, unstoppable private money.” said Arjun Khemani.
</blockquote>
Will McEvoy, Chief Investment Officer of Cypherpunk, added:
<blockquote>
 “Arjun brings deeply rooted convictions around privacy and an intellectually rigorous perspective to our team. His guidance will be core to our work in advancing the adoption of Zcash and accelerating privacy innovation across society.”
</blockquote>
Recent Momentum: Treasury Expansion
The appointment of Khemani comes amid continued growth in Cypherpunk’s corporate treasury, anchored by its expanding long-term position in Zcash. In aggregate as of December 30, 2025, Cypherpunk holds 290,062.67 ZEC, acquired at an average price of $334.41 per ZEC. These holdings account for an estimated 1.76% of the total circulating Zcash supply.
This growing treasury position, initiated through the $58.88 million private placement led by Winklevoss Capital, underscores Cypherpunk’s conviction in Zcash as a core, long-term asset and its strategy to provide institutional-grade exposure to privacy-preserving technologies.
