AI Agents Are Using Bitcoin… Why Treasuries Are Preparing Now
Are AI agents already using Bitcoin?
In this special roundtable, we dive into how Bitcoin treasury companies are building on the Lightning Network, and why AI-driven payments could be the next major catalyst for adoption.
Joined by Freddie New (CEO of B-HODL & Chief Policy Officer at Bitcoin Policy UK), Shone Anstey (Founder & CEO of LQWD Technologies), Dave Lund (CEO of Flowrate), and co-host Tyler Rowe (Bitcointreasuries.net), we explore how companies are generating Bitcoin-native yield and preparing for a future where machines transact autonomously.
⚡ Topics covered:
- How Bitcoin treasury companies earn yield on Lightning
- Why AI agents are already using Bitcoin for payments
- Lightning Network as infrastructure for machine-to-machine transactions
- Are traditional metrics like mNAV outdated?
- The future of Bitcoin Treasury 2.0
- Stablecoins vs Bitcoin on Lightning
- Risks, scaling, and the evolution of the network
💡 If AI agents need money, what will they choose? This conversation explores why Bitcoin, specifically Lightning, may become the default financial layer for the machine economy.
