29th August: Bitcoin Asia 2025 | Hong Kong 🇭🇰 I had the privilege of moderating a panel on “The Micro & Macro Forces Accelerating Institutional Bitcoin Adoption” with: Alessio Quaglini (CEO, Hex Trust) Kyu Ho (Chief of Staff, DDC ENTERPRISE LIMITED) The discussion couldn’t be more timely: DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSE: DDC) just crossed a major milestone — 1,008 BTC in its corporate treasury, only 96 days after its first purchase, now ranking 42nd globally among public Bitcoin treasuries. Their bold goal? 10,000 BTC by year-end. We explored how macro forces—from fiat devaluation, rising U.S. money supply, inflationary pressures, and regulatory clarity (like Hong Kong’s Bitcoin ETF approvals and the U.S. GENIUS Act)—are creating fertile ground for institutional demand. On the micro side, we dove into how infrastructure providers like Hex Trust are lowering barriers for corporations by offering institutional-grade custody, execution, and compliance frameworks, enabling companies like DDC Enterprise to confidently integrate Bitcoin into their balance sheets. Looking to the future, Alessio painted a vision of Bitcoin evolving into a standard institutional reserve asset, while Kyu shared how corporations may increasingly use Bitcoin as a core treasury strategy rather than just a hedge. What’s clear is that Bitcoin’s institutional story is no longer speculative. It is accelerating—with real capital, real balance sheets, and real infrastructure behind it.
