How We’re Powering Payments with a Bitcoin Treasury | Freddie New & Danny Scott (#203)


Listen Later

B Hodl has just listed, and they’re aiming to power payments over the Lightning Network using a growing Bitcoin treasury. CEO Freddie New (ex-FCA/City lawyer; co-founder, Bitcoin Policy UK) and CBO Danny Scott (co-founder/CEO, CoinCorner) explain why they built a Bitcoin treasury and services company, how Lightning routing and liquidity will generate Bitcoin-native revenue, and why this is about moving value over the internet at a global scale.We cover the realities of going public, the flywheel between BTC accumulation ↔ Lightning capacity ↔ revenue, USDT/Taproot Assets on Lightning, and why B Hodl is committing 1% to UK grassroots adoption. If you want a clear picture of how a public Bitcoin company funds Lightning, this is it.🎟️ Every business needs a Bitcoin strategy.
