Highlights

MicroStrategy (MSTR) brash CEO Michael Saylor has stepped down as CEO of the software company amidst large losses on his bold bitcoin strategy. Saylor had scooped up billions in bitcoin on the company’s balance sheet, and profited as the cryptocurrency took off last year. However, that trade has since backfired heavily and the company has realized huge losses. Phong Le, the company’s President, will take over as CEO. MSTR stock is down ~57% over the past year.

Logtime Cummins Inc. (CMI) CEO Tim Linebarger is stepping down and President and COO Jennifer Rumsey will take over. Linebarger had been CEO since 2012, and realized an 11% annual TSR during his tenure. Cummins recently completed its acquisition of Meritor, which closed this week.
