Analysis · SVIA · Crypto Assets
Three of Silvia's most senior officers — the CFO, COO and Chief Legal Officer — are all leaving within days of each other, with separation dates no later than October 21, 2026. That amounts to a near-total clearing of the operating bench at a company that only went public in 2025, and it lands alongside a cost-cutting program the company says will save more than $10 million a year. Read together, the two facts suggest the personnel cuts are part of the savings and the replacements are cheaper. Catalina Abbey steps in as interim CFO at a $200,000 salary and Caroline Hennigar becomes COO at $250,000 — both drawn from CEO Anthony Pompliano's affiliated firms, and Hennigar has worked alongside Pompliano since 2021. The cash cost of the transition is real: $1.5 million in severance across the three plus 819,204 fully vested shares issued under the equity plan. Because the CFO seat carries an interim tag, the finance function is not settled, and investors should treat the next quarterly update as the first real test of whether the leaner structure holds.
