This has been quite a week for my second update.

A huge "Thank you" and congratulations to all the team at @bitcoinhodlco, the team at @CoinCorner, our legal and accounting advisers, to @CelicourtComms to @FirstSentinelCF and to @AquisStockEx. With our team on Monday, we rang the gong to open the market  and commence trading in B HODL shares.

Thanks to all of you who have supported us so far. Starting a new business and going out to the market to prove a concept is not easy; and we're grateful to our shareholders who have placed their trust in us to build a Bitcoin treasury and the paytech future that we deserve - just not the one we have right now.

We started as we meant to go on - breaking our duck with the purchase of a hundred Bitcoin on  Wednesday. Later in the week, we announced that I myself had bought further shares in the company. I believe wholeheartedly in our vision for the company and what we want to build; and I want  this to be my long term future.

The team and I also met in the Isle of Man to discuss short and long term KPIS, OKRs and strategy. Thanks for making me welcome at the CoinCorner offices (a 20 hour round trip via easyJet. Every pound saved on travel is another pound to spend on Bitcoin).

We were able to buy an additional 12 Bitcoin later in the week, bringing our total to 112 (putting us firmly in the top 100 corporate holders globally, at the end of our first week of operations).

Looking ahead -  we will continue to announce further information to the market as required! Next week, I will be spending a day and a half at the Labour Party conference, lobbying members and MPs to attempt to make the UK a less hostile place for Bitcoin and Bitcoin businesses like ourselves.

Thanks to you all again for an incredible week. Onwards.
