The cash in your business is melting like an ice cube.
£100k in 2020 = £77,500 in today's purchasing power.
Most owners shrug and accept it.
My guest this week didn't.
New episode of Bulletproof Entrepreneur podcast with @btconlyscott
If you're a business owner, it's essential viewing/listening.
Big thank you to the Spencer Riley executive recruiting and @XCEofficial team for a fast-paced start to the year.
We have a 4-year history of buying Bitcoin with long-term conviction and uncorrelated operational revenue growth before our IPO last month. Particularly, this January month-end feels like a good time to remind UK businesses starting their BTC balance sheet journey this year that the solution to short-term volatility is long-term consistency matched to levels of conviction.
Big thank you to all our shareholders at IPO and those who have joined us early on the journey to positively disrupt executive recruitment and orange-pill all of the traditional industries who rely on our sector for securing senior-level decision makers! We have an XCE community now pinned on my profile for shareholders, clients and candidates to follow for updates.
A quick roundup of some of the highlights from January and this week:
✅ Spencer Riley: strong senior placements – 67% US-based – focused in AI, consulting, professional services, environmental monitoring, and tech. Driving client growth and operational revenues. With some great conversations with BTC clients and BTC executives too!
✅ XCE BTC Bonds: 2026 Program launched – first 10 BTC tranche fully subscribed & settled.
✅ XCE BTC Treasury: Bitcoin buys to total 41.36 at an average purchase price of ~$80,848, with BTC holdings increased to 51.36 as a result of the XCE BTC Bond and yield increased to 453.6% (if converted).
Great fun joining @RichardByworth & @TimKotzman on the digital conference.
Media nods and other events:
➡️ @yorkshirepost with a very positive MSM article on XCE, following on from a positive @DailyMail article
➡️ @StockBoxMedia for getting into the detail of our plans
➡️ XCE Board lunch with @VijaySelvam viral chart making waves as a result!
➡️ @BitcoinColl thank you for the shoutout for the Bitcoin Business Network input earlier in 2025, awesome to see the fast-paced growth and proud to be a founding member! 🫡
Back to work and back to orange-pilling in the best environment there can be – the one that demonstrates conviction! 🫡
We’re proud to announce that XCE is now officially listed on #AQSE! 🎉
We were delighted by the strong support shown by investors, and would like to thank everyone that worked so hard to get us here.
It marks the next chapter in our journey to build a scalable Bitcoin-powered business, attract top talent, and create long-term value for shareholders.
