1/ $300B in stablecoins in circulation. 90% built for retail traders. 0% built for enterprise🤯

Today, @paystand launches USDb, @TheBitcoinConf. The only BTC-aligned stablecoin, purpose-built for the $100T B2B economy

USDb = Business. Bots. BTC. 🧵👇🏾

In 2015, we backed @JonChest and @Bitwage when most people thought paying employees in Bitcoin was crazy. 11 years later? The "crazy" idea just got acquired by @Paystand.

While everyone was building crypto apps and speculating on tokens, Jonathan and the Bitwage team were solving a real problem.

Why should it take 3-5 days and cost 3-5% in fees to pay someone across borders?

They built infrastructure that pays teams across 200 countries in minutes.

This is the infrastructure shift I've been talking about for years.

Stablecoins plugged directly into AR/AP workflows. Enterprise-grade compliance. Global reach. Real utility.

Three lessons:

→ Infrastructure beats apps every time. Someone has to build the pipes.

→ Patience pays off. It took 11 years for the market to catch up to what Bitwage was building.

→ Regulatory clarity unlocks markets. GENIUS Act and MiCA are making what seemed "impossible" in 2015 inevitable in 2025.

Congrats to Jonathan Chester, @johnlinzy, and the entire Bitwage team for staying focused on the problem while the world caught up.

And congrats to @JeremyAlmond and Paystand for seeing what enterprise payments will look like in 5 years and building it today.

This is what happens when you back founders who ignore the noise and build what the world actually needs.

1/ Stablecoins moved $9T in 2025 — 87% YoY growth, already over half of Visa’s volume. 🤯

Not a trend. A structural shift.

Today @Paystand just acquired @Bitwage to bring stablecoins to B2B: programmable, borderless, always on. 🧵👇

Big news: @Bitwage has been acquired by @Paystand — one of the world’s leading blockchain payment networks processing $20B+ in volume. ⚡

This isn’t just a business milestone — it’s a deeply personal one.
Over ten years ago, we set out to fix something broken in how people get paid. 💙

Is your #payroll affected by #SVB going down? We can get you onboarded within 24 hours and pay workers in the US and globally, so you don't miss your next payrun. #SVIB

@eudtoxic Otra que está muy buena es @Bitwage. Te abren una cuenta en USA y vos cobras en cripto directamente en tu wallet (o sea, ellos hacen el pasamanos nomas; es non-custodial el servicio). Cobra un 2% de comisión y gastos en fees.

I’m proud to say that because of our conservative practices and offerings, neither @Bitwage nor any clients have been directly affected by FTX, yield products, or Luna. It’s times like these to remind people that the best way to keep your money safe is to be your own bank.

[Bitwage @Bitwage]
