B HODL PLC (AQSE:HODL) CEO Freddie New and CFO David Boylan talked with Proactive about the company's listing on the Aquis Exchange and its strategy as a Bitcoin treasury and services business. New explained that B HODL aims to take advantage of both Bitcoin's store of value and its potential as a medium of exchange. New said: “What really, really excites me about B Hodl PLC is not simply the treasury… it's that opportunity to show what Bitcoin can do.” New outlined the company's ambition to generate revenue from Bitcoin through operational strategies like providing liquidity to the Lightning Network. Boylan also emphasised transparency as a cornerstone of the company's investor approach. “Bitcoin is still scary to people… we're basically staking our reputations and service behind Bitcoin,” he said. B HODL plans to provide accessible data and reporting to help demystify Bitcoin for investors. New discussed the company's strong management team, which includes experience from CoinCorner, PayPal, Baillie Gifford, and other financial services and crypto institutions. He also noted that while the business is listed and fully compliant with UK regulations, many of its operational activities remain outside the scope of traditional regulation. Boylan added that the company will track traditional treasury metrics like NAV and Bitcoin yield, while also highlighting new KPIs tied to Bitcoin utility and revenue generation.

Send us a textBitcoin has risen over 859% in the last 5 years — from $11,000 to $113,000. Most people see that growth and think: “HODL forever.”But Satoshi's vision was never about locking Bitcoin away in a vault. The white paper was titled “A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” — designed for direct payments between people, free from banks and middlemen.In this episode, I break down why spending Bitcoin is just as important as stacking it:It completes the loop → Saving is step one, but spending turns Bitcoin into real money.It proves independence → Every transaction shows we don't need banks, Visa, or PayPal.It separates money from government → Just like church, law, and language, money should exist outside state control.It normalises adoption → Paying wages, tipping, or buying coffee in Bitcoin makes it natural.It's cheaper for merchants → Credit cards skim ~2% ($600 on $30k sales). Lightning fees? As low as $0.87 for the same volume. Even at the “expensive” end, merchants save 80–95%.I share real stories from meetups, sending sats to my nephews, and giving Bitcoin to my kids — because this isn't just theory. Spending Bitcoin is freedom in action.If we never use Bitcoin, banks and governments win. Every Lightning transaction is a middle finger to the old system. Stack sats, yes. But spend them too. That's how Bitcoin becomes money.Get intouch with Myles at mylesdhillon@gmail.com

In this must-watch episode of Holistic Investments, host Constantin Kogan sits down with crypto veteran David J. Namdar, CEO of BNB Network Company! With over 10 years in the game, David shares his wild journey: from pitching Bitcoin to Millennium hedge fund in 2013 (and getting rejected for lacking shorts!), co-founding Galaxy Digital with Mike Novogratz during the 2017 bull run, launching the 2nd Bitcoin ETF attempt (right after the Winklevoss twins), and now leading the charge in digital asset treasuries as CEO of BNB Network Company (NASDAQ: BNC).Why BNB? David breaks down why BNB is the "digital equity infrastructure" powering Binance's 290M users and 40% of global crypto trading volume – outpacing Coinbase's market share 8x! Backed by CZ's Easy Labs (largest investor) and Tangem Capital, CA Industries holds the biggest BNB treasury on the planet. Learn how this MicroStrategy-inspired strategy (but for BNB) could 10x your exposure without direct access to Binance in the US. David predicts BNB surpassing XRP by end of 2025 – and why tokenized stocks, 24/7 markets, and AI agents will supercharge BNB Chain over Ethereum.Key Highlights:

Crypto has its own secret language — and if you don't speak it, it can feel overwhelming. In today's episode of New To Crypto, I'm breaking down three of the most common (and most important) terms you'll hear everywhere in the crypto space: HODL, FUD, and FOMO.✅ Learn the funny origin story behind HODL and why it's become a badge of honor for long-term investors. ✅ Understand how FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) spreads through the market — and how to separate signal from noise. ✅ Discover why FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is one of the fastest ways beginners lose money — and how to avoid falling into the trap.By the end of this episode, you'll not only know what these terms mean but also how to spot them in action and make smarter investing decisions.If you've ever felt lost in the jargon, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to join the conversation like a pro.

My guest today is Bob Burnett, veteran technologist, former Gateway CTO, and now CEO of Barefoot Mining. From consumer tech pioneer with eight U.S. patents to leader in sovereign Bitcoin mining, Bob shares his vision for “wild mining,” where miners own their energy using innovative energy sources. He challenges the myth that mining is only for massive corporations, showing how small, strategically placed operations can be both profitable and decentralizing. We discuss adoption curves, block template decentralization, why nation-states should build mining infrastructure before buying Bitcoin reserves, lessons from the early PC revolution, and the coming energy race with AI and High-Performance Computing.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

Since then, the volume of digital asset payments has grown more than fivefold to nearly $300 million in the first half of 2025. The University of San Andres allegedly pays its international faculty in Bitcoin. Carlos Neira, co-founder of Colombian wallet provider Meru, reports a staggering 6,600% increase in Bolivian users since the ban was lifted.
