This is the way. The Midwest is a culture of determination, principle, and POW.

Great work to the @megawatthq team, Ilya Rekhter, and Representative Pierce (@PierceForIN)! 🫡

Bitcoin miners need clear rules to plan years ahead. Indiana wrote them into law.

HB 1042 is now in effect. Here’s what it means for anyone mining or holding Bitcoin in Indiana.

- Mining is a protected activity. Local governments can’t single it out with rules they wouldn’t apply to other businesses.
- No special taxes or fees on Bitcoin transactions. Your sats get treated like any other payment.
- Self-custody is protected. You can hold your keys in your own wallet without the state getting in the way.
- Running a node and building software stay open to everyone.

Thank you to Rep. @PierceforIN for authoring the bill. We were glad to share what we know, and we’ll keep showing up to help Indiana get Bitcoin policy right.

Here’s to a hugely successful @MWBTCSummit 2026 which took place in September! 🚀

Two days, 100+ speakers and a packed agenda exploring where Bitcoin is heading next.

On the 23rd and 24th of September, the @MWBTCSummit brought the Bitcoin ecosystem together in Columbus, Ohio, for conversations spanning institutional adoption, custody, banking, security, mining, energy, regulation, audit and the infrastructure needed to support Bitcoin at scale.

For The Network Firm, a major highlight was seeing our very own @TripleEntryCPA take the stage across both days.

On Day 1, @TripleEntryCPA, CBP moderated “Institutional Bitcoin: Custody, Banking & Security” alongside Frank Reiman of @Anchorage, Tim Savage of Ion Strategies and Mike Cobb of DriveSavers Data Recovery. The conversation explored the practical steps institutions should consider when evaluating custody, banking relationships, security responsibilities and recovery.

On Day 2, @TripleEntryCPA, CBP joined “Audit-Ready Bitcoin: Books, Proof & Compliance” alongside Jordan Guess, CPA of Bitment and Mark Dempsey CAMS, CRCP, IACCP of Crypto Regulatory Solutions LLC moderated by Jeff T. of Bitcoin Denominator Group, LP.

This conversation moved directly into the work we do every day: what does it actually take to make Bitcoin activity auditable? From maintaining reliable books and records and proving ownership to establishing the controls and compliance processes needed for independent verification.

Our team was in great company at the Summit. Speakers included SEC Commissioner @HesterPeirce Ohio Secretary of State @FrankLaRose, U.S. Representative @WarrenDavidson, @dotkrueger, @Avik, and leaders from across the Bitcoin ecosystem.

The event was also supported by organizations across Bitcoin, accounting and financial services, with sponsors including @Anchorage, @KPMG, Crowe, @unchained, @Swan, Giga and @BTCStudents.

For us, the two days reinforced an important point. As Bitcoin becomes increasingly institutional, the infrastructure surrounding it has to mature too.

Custody, security, accounting, audit, compliance and independent verification are becoming increasingly important parts of the conversation.

Thank you to the @MWBTCSummit team, the speakers, sponsors and everyone who stopped to speak with the TNF team in Columbus. 👏
