My keynote on how @XCEofficial has a unique opportunity to drive BTC business adoption 🇬🇧➡️🌍➡️🟠

[Scott Ellam @btconlyscott]

Back from Bristol.

Key takeaway: The power of Bitcoin is the fundamentals of the asset class combined with the network of people who use it.

The people in Bitcoin are pulling the future into the present. Actually dedicating their lives (Tim especially) to advancing the adoption of sound money - because they understand how that shapes the future of businesses, and of future generations.

I had the opportunity to deliver a keynote on @XCEofficial mission to drive BTC business adoption and joined a panel with @satmojoe and @HenryBTCchef to discuss some of the realities of BTC and BTC treasuries.

My keynote was followed by @JayW132 of the @BitcoinColl, on the UK businesses now joining the Bitcoin Business Network - Great Ormond Street Charity notable among them.

📢 Our CEO, @btconlyscott recently joined the @BitcoinColl podcast with @JayW132.

In the episode, Scott discusses how XCE is addressing some of the biggest structural challenges in executive recruitment, including cash leakage, scaling headcount, and the lack of viable exit options, by building the business around a Bitcoin treasury strategy.

The conversation explores how XCE’s model aligns incentives across recruiters, shareholders and the balance sheet, and why integrating Bitcoin at the core of an operating business creates a fundamentally different growth dynamic.
