Happy to share my talk „Pitching Bitcoin to Boomers“ that I was honored to give at Baltic Honeybadger conference organized by nostr:npub1yul83qxn35u607er3m7039t6rddj06qezfagfqlfw4qk5z5slrfqu8ncdu nostr:npub19yfzme2usrukjgwxs3eekfnj5xhnarygpqjr2m48agsvvgz32ggqhymc68 nostr:npub1797h37mc98f6363m5nysxd0t2swuz7nxq4z83saw77em3czld6xqvuar68 and all the team!

I was representing our bank Maerki Baumann as a Bitcoin investment manager. Yes, this is my official title😉

Thanks again for this opportunity!

Enjoyed your talk very much so. Didn‘t knew that Bitcoin is held in a segregated wallet and legal ownership is kept also in case of a bankruptcy. Is this a FINMA regulation and the same for all banks, or is this just for Maerki Baumann & Co. AG the case?

This is the same for all banks. Obviously technical setup etc. differs depending on how the bank is doing it (build your own custody solution or do sub-custody with third party sub-custodian).

Generally though, in Switzerland, thanks to changes in Swiss law and banking regulations, banks can separate digital assets from their balance sheets. This allows them to offer true custody accounts, ensuring that assets belong to the client. By law, these assets are fully segregated from the bank's estate during bankruptcy and are returned to the client.
