\u201cLedger, the market leader in crypto security, has secured a premium office space at 817 Broadway, a location that perfectly reflects their brand and provides strategic proximity to other crypto companies we\u2019ve successfully placed in the area,\u201d Kluge told CO. \u201cThis move establishes Ledger\u2019s physical presence in the U.S., fueling their excitement to further grow market share.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel Levine and Jason Greenstein from Newmark<\/a> represented the landlord. Newmark did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The lease marks the first New York office for Ledger, which has been working to expand its visibility in the U.S. market. A recent sponsorship agreement with the San Antonio Spurs pro basketball team added Ledger\u2019s logo to patches worn on team uniforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe New York office deepens Ledger\u2019s ties to the U.S. and comes after a multiyear global partnership agreement with the historic San Antonio Spurs, further strengthening the company\u2019s presence in its top market globally,\u201d a spokesperson for Ledger said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ledger also announced the appointment of financial industry veteran John Andrews as its chief financial officer. Andrews, who has more than 25 years of corporate finance and financial services experience, will help lead the company\u2019s U.S. expansion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn Andrews brings the institutional rigor and financial leadership necessary to scale Ledger\u2019s global vision,\u201d Pascal Gauthier, chairman and CEO of Ledger, said in a statement. \u201cHis deep experience at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets is exactly what is required as we deepen our footprint in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

817 Broadway is a 15-story office building designed in 1895 by George B. Post. Taconic acquired the property in November 2016 and redeveloped the building by restoring its terra cotta fa\u00e7ade, replacing all of the windows and adding a 4,000-square-foot roof terrace.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Taconic refinanced the building in late 2025 with a $130 million loan, The Real Deal<\/a> reported at the time. Other tenants at 817 Broadway include development platform<\/a> Unity Technologies and venture capital firm<\/a> Union Square Ventures.<\/p>\n
