Throughout my career, I have been committed to helping investors understand how Bitcoin fits within long-term portfolio construction. I believe Bitcoin treasury companies will be a primary vehicle through which global capital gains large-scale access to Bitcoin. Nakamoto’s vision offers a compelling model for building these treasuries worldwide, and I’m excited to help bring that story to the global investment community.”
