Incredible energy at the Glasgow Bitcoin Conference. ⚡
Exciting to hear about mining projects in Scotland putting stranded energy to work.
So great to see these conferences happening across the UK.
Listen to our audio response to HMRC’s DeFi tax consultation, focusing on crypto lending and staking. It advocates for a clear, simple approach to avoid stifling innovation or losing talent, and distinguishing Bitcoin from other digital assets.

Can a tiny island in the Caribbean lead the world in renewable energy innovation?
This podcast episode is an audio version of our research paper ‘Sparking a Green Revolution in Montserrat’ by our Chief Mining Officer Nick Bowick.
In light of recent speculation that the Labour Party may consider liquidating the UK's Bitcoin reserves of 61,250 bitcoins, we are eager to engage with Labour MPs and influential figures to present a more strategic approach to managing this valuable asset.
Our presence at the conference provides a unique opportunity to discuss the potential benefits of holding and strategically managing Bitcoin reserves. We believe that Bitcoin should be viewed as a strategic financial opportunity rather than a liability to be sold. At Stand B4 in the main exhibition hall, we will be available to engage in dialogue with policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders. Our goal is to highlight how Bitcoin can serve as a hedge against inflation, a store of value, and a catalyst for economic innovation.
Join us in advocating for a smarter approach to Bitcoin management. Your support and donations to our Geyser fund are crucial in helping us continue our mission.
Together, we can ensure that the UK's Bitcoin reserves are utilized as a strategic asset for economic growth and innovation.
