MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor is slated to speak on various topics around BTC for corporations. Other speakers include Galaxy Digital’s Head of Research, Alex Thorn, Bitwise’s Senior Crypto Research Analyst, Ryan Rasmussen, and Citibank’s Head of Digital Assets, among other industry leaders.

River Financial CEO Alex Leishman will discuss Bitcoin adoption trends. Lightspark CEO David Marcus, who helped Coinbase integrate Lightning, will join Michael Saylor to talk about “Building on Bitcoin.” Fidelity Digital Assets’ Chris Kuiper and MicroStrategy’s Shirish Jajodia will share a panel on “Bitcoin and Wall Street.”

The lineup of executives from major financial institutions signals growing corporate interest in Bitcoin exposure. As pioneering firms like MicroStrategy and Tesla reap the benefits, others seem poised to follow.

Conferences like this provide a venue for education and idea sharing as more corporations consider adding Bitcoin to their balance sheet.
