The Punchline?
Another boardroom wakes up to monetary debasement. Meanwhile, Bitcoin keeps eating fiat for breakfast—no permission needed.

All According to Plan
The corporation is following its “10-year plan,” with the policy aligning with the Directors’ views that digital assets, including Bitcoin, provide a means to preserve value over time and serve as a hedge against inflation.
The overall goal is to enhance its treasury in the short term while implementing its organic growth strategy, which will then enable the medium-to long-term plan of making strategic acquisitions when appropriate.
Andrew Webley, the CEO, shared:
“We have a clear plan to deliver significant value for our shareholders, and today we document this so that our shareholders can share the exciting journey.
We are focused on accelerating short-term growth by scaling our proven Core services, while
also exploring strategic acquisitions that could unlock compelling value.”
