about

Bitcoin Corporate Day is a closed forum for senior decision-makers (CEOs, CFOs, fund managers, family offices, bankers and advisers) working out how Bitcoin actually fits inside a business. Not whether it belongs, but how it’s being used: on the balance sheet, in payments and settlement, as collateral, and in energy.

One room. 350 seats. A full day of closed-door sessions, drawing on the direct experience of the companies and institutions that have already done it, held under the Chatham House Rule, so the conversation stays candid and off the record.

What you leave with

  • A working view of allocation. How listed companies, asset managers, and family offices are actually allocating to Bitcoin - structures, sizing, and the mistakes they’d avoid a second time.

  • Payments and settlement. How institutions are using Bitcoin to move value across borders and cut the cost and friction of international transfers.

  • Collateral and credit. How Bitcoin is being used as collateral in traditional finance, and what the lending market looks like from inside.

  • Custody and governance you can defend. Institutional custody models, board engagement, and audit and accounting treatment - presented by the people who signed off on them.

  • Energy and mining. How businesses are using Bitcoin to monetise surplus energy and rethink energy economics.

  • Regulation and market structure. Perspectives on the evolving European and UK regulatory environment, presented by practitioners and counsel.

  • The room itself. 350 seats: allocators, operators, regulators, and advisors. Last edition included the founder of Strategy, the inventor of Hashcash, and the consultants behind the first UK pension scheme allocation to Bitcoin.

Regulation, policy and market access in Europe - and why the UK is drifting rather than leading. What a UK institution is permitted to do, before deciding how much it allocates. The FCA's authorisation gateway opens this month. Parliament's debanking inquiry closed evidence on 31 August, three weeks before we meet. So: what are you allowed to do today, what changes when the gateway opens, and can you get the banking to do it at all?

Macro, Power Law or Halving: What Really Drives Bitcoin's Performance? Does Bitcoin follow a deterministic adoption curve - a Power Law indifferent to the world around it - or is it a high-beta macro asset dancing to the rhythm of global liquidity? And does the Halving make Bitcoin's cycles themselves predictable, or has its influence faded? Our panelists put the leading forecast models to the test and ask which framework best explains where Bitcoin goes next.

Borrowing against Bitcoin without losing it - how collateralised credit actually works. Where your Bitcoin sits while it's pledged and who holds the keys. What LTV you get, and what triggers a margin call. Whether it's rehypothecated - and how you find out. What happens to your collateral if the lender fails. And what 2022 changed about how these deals are now written.
