Cherry Tree Family Office was established in 1980 by Gordon Stofer and Anton Christianson. Their transactional proceeds from prior investment banking and venture capital work form the disclosed core of the firm's investable assets. The firm provides portfolio management and succession planning services to multiple families. Cherry Tree allocates across public equities, private equity, real estate, and alternative vehicles. It deploys through direct co-investments, SPVs, fund-of-funds structures, and private equity commitments. Confirmed positions include exposure to Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust and iShares Ethereum Trust. The firm targets early-stage opportunities in consumer tech and enterprise software. Geographic focus remains North America, with real estate assets spanning multiple U.S. states including a land holding in Salem, South Carolina. The operating team includes CIO Brenda Sallstrom and Managing Director Wayne Atkins. Adjacent philanthropic structures comprise the Christianson Family Foundation and Stofer Family Foundation. No verifiable operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Cherry Tree maintains membership ties to Edina Country Club and Interlachen Country Club for networking among Twin Cities executives.
