**Argo Blockchain (ARBK)** told the SEC in a Form 6-K filed September 3, 2026 that **Justin Nolan ceased to serve as Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director effective August 30, 2026**. The London-based crypto miner said its board has already begun a search for a permanent replacement.

Nolan and **Argo Operating US LLC**, his employing entity, signed a separation agreement providing for a **gross cash separation payment of $250,000**, less applicable withholdings and deductions. The payment and the mutual releases only take effect once the agreement becomes *effective and irrevocable* after a **seven-day revocation period** lapses without the right being exercised.

The company stated that the agreement contains **no admission of liability or wrongdoing by any party**. No reason for the departure was given in the filing.

The board said it will focus its CEO search on candidates with a proven record of *leadership, operational execution and capital formation in AI infrastructure, data centers and related technology sectors* — a signal of where Argo wants to steer the business. In the interim, **the existing management team will run day-to-day operations under board supervision**.

Argo describes itself as a blockchain technology company focused on **large-scale cryptocurrency mining** and digital infrastructure, with North American operations predominantly powered by renewable energy. It says it is actively evaluating opportunities in **high-performance computing and artificial-intelligence data center infrastructure**.

The filing was signed by **Maria Perrella, Chair** of the company. Leadership vacancies at small-cap miners attempting a pivot toward AI hosting are material because execution and access to capital hinge heavily on who runs the company.
