22 December 2025, Switzerland — Quranium, the quantum-secure Layer-1 blockchain built to protect the financial industry against future cryptographic threats, today announced the launch of QINFI, a quantum-secure financial SuperApp designed to unify payments, digital assets, and tokenized finance on a single, secure foundation.
As global finance accelerates toward tokenized assets and always-on digital markets, existing financial rails remain fragmented and increasingly misaligned with the security requirements of the future. While more than $290 trillion moves across borders annually, much of the world’s financial infrastructure still relies on legacy systems that are slow, costly, and not designed for long-term cryptographic resilience. At the same time, tokenization is rapidly expanding, with an estimated $8 trillion in assets expected to be tokenized by 2028, widening the gap between modern on-chain assets and outdated systems used to move and secure capital.
QINFI is designed to bridge this gap by consolidating core financial functions, payments, digital asset management, and access to tokenized real-world assets, into a single platform built on quantum-secure infrastructure. Unlike application-first financial platforms, QINFI is anchored directly to Quranium’s protocol-level security, where post-quantum, stateless cryptography is embedded into the underlying Layer-1, ensuring long-term protection against emerging cryptographic risks.
The platform brings together banking-grade payments, on-chain asset access, and portfolio management within a unified interface, reducing operational complexity for users while maintaining institutional-grade security and compliance readiness. In the settlement of all activity on quantum-secure rails, QINFI is designed to serve both everyday financial use cases and institutional participation in tokenized markets without compromising long-term resilience.
The launch of QINFI was unveiled during Quranium’s EPOCH TownHall, where the company’s founding and executive leadership presented the platform alongside its broader vision for building secure financial infrastructure for the quantum era. The live event brought together the global community for the presentation of Quranium’s product strategy and next phase of growth.
Commenting on the launch, Kapil Dhiman, CEO and Co-Founder of Quranium, said:
We are building the most secure foundation for money in the quantum era. As technology advances, the infrastructure behind finance must evolve with it. QINFI brings usability and access into a single platform, while our underlying protocol delivers the long-term security and resilience that institutions and financial markets require.
The EPOCH TownHall was broadcast live across YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Telegram, and Discord, with Quranium’s leadership engaging directly with participants through an open Q&A session. The event marked the full leadership team publicly outlining how Quranium’s quantum-secure Layer-1 and application ecosystem are designed to work together as a unified financial stack.
Early access to QINFI is now open via whitelist.

Solana has become the next major asset for treasuries after Bitcoin and Ethereum. The blockchain became a treasury favorite on the basis of its scalability, cost, redundancy, decentralized control, and popularity among crypto markets.

In this article, we explore five major reasons why Solana became the next natural choice for Digital Asset Treasuries after Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Below is a detailed list of all Solana Treasuries for your reference.

Highly Scalable Blockchain

Solana offers a highly scalable blockchain with an average real-time speed of 5,000 transactions per second and can be easily scaled to 65,000 transactions per second without any additional effort. This high scalability means that the chain can process transactions at a cost of less than 1 cent ($0.01).

Further, Solana’s scalability does not compromise its security or its decentralization. The blockchain is one of the most secure ones after Bitcoin and Ethereum. Additionally, due to its decentralization, the chain has more than 850 active validators spread globally.

Highly Decentralized

Solana has one of the most decentralized ecosystems, with decentralization being ensured at Governance, Validator, and Token ownership levels.

Governance is undertaken with stakeholder voting, ensuring a lesser concentration of power.

Further, more than 850 validators ensure that the blockchain remains functional despite all threats to the blockchain, natural or otherwise. Compared to this, the BNB chain has just 21 validators.

Solana’s token ownership is more with the retail investors and not whales or treasuries. Even when all treasuries are combined, their net holdings amount to just 3.65% of the total SOL supply.

Solana treasury companies now hold 20,921,000 $SOL.This is almost 3.64% of SOL's total supply.After $BTC and $ETH, SOL is becoming the preferred choice for institutions. pic.twitter.com/M2hhLpf0AN

— Ted (@TedPillows) September 28, 2025

Thoroughly Tested

The Solana blockchain has been thoroughly tested in both ordinary and extraordinary conditions. The blockchain performs well during its due course and has also handled high traffic without any issues during the memecoin mania (late 2024 to early 2025).

The highest stress test for the blockchain was during the Trump coin launch, when it clocked roughly 750 million transactions per week.

Transaction Activity in Solana

This reduces the likelihood of blockchain failure. Typically, blockchain failures result in a token price crash.

Most Visited Blockchain

Solana has been the most visited blockchain in 2024, according to Coingecko, garnering almost half the attention as all other chains combined.

Naturally, if a treasury adds SOL to its blockchain, its publicly listed shares have a greater chance of attracting retail investors. Further, more popular investment assets might also boost the confidence of other investors.

Solana vs Ethereum: A Detailed Comparison of Two Leading Blockchains

Highly Liquid Market Pairs

Solana consistently maintains impressive liquidity in the cryptocurrency markets, exchanges, DeFi protocols, and DEXs due to its high demand. This helps in the easy purchase and sale of tokens by investors. With high liquidity, there is greater freedom on being able to easily cash in and out with SOL.

Another aspect highlighting its high liquidity is the presence of an impressive fourth-largest on-chain stablecoin reserve, marginally lower than BSC on average but significantly larger than Base, its next-largest competitor, by 3 to 4 times.

High liquidity helps treasuries easily invest and sell assets whenever required. During difficult times, such as a liquidation, there is also a lesser loss incurred during the distress sale of assets.

Solana Treasuries might be new, but they are getting popular at a fast pace. Thanks to Solana’s stellar rally from $14 to $294 in the last two years. Despite a downturn in price, Solana offers a high-speed and low-cost, reliable blockchain, which then makes it lucrative for Digital Asset Treasuries.

However,all investments come at a risk. Despite being one of the leading chains with a highly decentralized validator network, Solana has a much higher volatility than Bitcoin and Ethereum. Furthermore, it poses a significantly higher risk of security issues.

In this article, we will explore what makes a Solana Treasury riskier than Bitcoin and Etheruem. We will also understand the types of risk they have and try to navigate towards a solution to mitigate those risks.

Why is a Solana Treasury Riskier?

Solana Treasuries are slightly riskier than Bitcoin or Ethereum Treasuries due to the fundamental factors associated with Solana.

First, Solana, as a blockchain, is a lot less mature than Bitcoin and Ethereum. This opens up risks for black swan events, such as the crash we saw during the Trump and Melania coin launches.

Second, Solana’s main revenue source was the memecoin rally, which fizzled out in early 2025. With the current revenue, Solana is significantly weaker than it was in late 2024, during the memecoin rally. Less revenue leaves less money for the Solana ecosystem to develop the chain.

Solana Chain Revenue Peaking with Memecoin Rally Top

Third, Solana is a chain prone to hackers, scammers, and phishing attackers, which opens up another dimension of risk.

A year ago I got drained for 620 $SOL when Solana was at its peak.I was using an untrusted Telegram trading bot , watching my wallet go to zero so unexpectedly. I felt stupid. Angry. Empty.Fast forward to now I see people getting drained & saying they wanna end it.Please,… pic.twitter.com/sUsSK8Z5Wz

Fourth, Solana Treasuries are fewer in number and have a lower net asset value. Any market crash is likely to wipe out the idea of a Solana Treasury. In the case of Bitcoin and Ethereum, they are far more mainstream and unlikely to be affected by a market crash.

Finally, Solana is a lot more volatile than Bitcoin and Ethereum, which results in a lot more turbulence for the investor’s portfolio. This aspect forces several investors to invest in Solana as a diversification rather than as the main asset.

As a result, all treasuries investing in Solana also face a greater risk to their investments than their Bitcoin or Ethereum counterparts.

Mitigating Risks For Solana Treasuries

There is no financial risk that cannot be mitigated. Solana Treasuries can also easily mitigate the risks arising from the factors mentioned above.

Beyond Cryptographic Vulnerabilities: A New Standard for Digital Identity and Authentication

Protocol Risk

The Solana blockchain’s lack of maturity could be managed with a bridged SOL token. There are several Solana-pegged tokens as ERC-20 coins. Investors who prefer the Ethereum blockchain can transfer their SOL tokens to Ethereum using these coins. However, it is crucial to ensure liquidity before moving the assets.

Price Risks

Price Volatility has long been addressed by holding a considerable amount of stablecoins or diversifying to other cryptocurrencies, such as altcoins. A mixed-bag treasury is significantly more resistant to market volatility than a single-asset treasury.

Security Risks for a Solana Treasury

Solana has faced numerous security issues, including hacks, scams, and wallet drains. However, a lot of them arise from human error. Addressing human errors in a professional way could help. For example, the treasury must hold the SOL in a multi-sig cold storage wallet where the key holders are technologically experienced people, like lead developers.

What Yields More? Ethereum Treasuries vs Perpetual Leveraged Trades

Corporate bitcoin treasuries don’t live in a vacuum, they ride global liquidity, policy shifts, and market structure. Below is a practical, SEO-friendly guide to scenario-planning your treasury program, with examples of how a purpose-built operator like Matador can execute through very different macro tapes.
Why a scenario playbook beats a single “price target”
In 2024–2025, three structural changes reshaped bitcoin’s market plumbing:
Spot Bitcoin ETFs launched in the U.S. (January 10, 2024). These created a regulated demand channel for institutions and corporates.The 2024 halving (Apr 20, 2024). New supply fell from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC per block, altering miner economics and supply dynamics.In-kind creations/redemptions for crypto ETPs (July 29–30, 2025). This SEC change made ETFs more efficient, improving liquidity transmission.
Together, these levers can amplify or dampen the impact of traditional macro drivers like real yields, the dollar, and risk appetite.
The board’s approval confirms Matador Technologies’ dedication to Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Click to learn more.
The six scenarios your treasury should model
1) “Easing & inflows” ,  liquidity tailwinds
What it looks like: Softer inflation prints, stable/falling real yields, and net ETF inflows. In this tape, bitcoin can behave like a leading macro asset with rising institutional allocation. Your playbook: pre-approved draw windows on facilities, programmatic purchases, and real-time IR that publishes BPS (bitcoin-per-share) and cost basis alongside holdings updates. (Fidelity’s institutional research frames bitcoin’s role as a macro asset with low, time-varying correlations.) 
Execution cue: Keep a “DCA + opportunistic” ladder of purchase thresholds ready so legal, treasury, and IR can move in hours, not weeks.
The facility empowers Matador Technologies to expand its Bitcoin reserves strategically. Click to learn more.
2) “Higher-for-longer” ,  tight financial conditions
What it looks like: Hawkish central-bank messaging, firm real yields, ETF outflows or stalled flows. CoinShares’ weekly reports frequently show how flows swing with macro surprises, a real-time gauge for treasury pacing.
Execution cue: Pace buys with smaller tranches, lean on “dry powder” (unused facility capacity or shelf/ATM readiness), and emphasize per-share discipline in updates. Keep custody and internal-control disclosures front-and-center to maintain investor confidence even if price chops sideways.
3) “Dollar spike” ,  FX headwinds
What it looks like: The U.S. dollar index (DXY) surges on growth or policy divergences. While bitcoin’s relationship to DXY isn’t mechanically fixed, stronger dollars often coincide with risk-asset wobble. Hedge your operating needs (fiat runway), but keep your treasury thesis intact, correlations can be fragile and time-dependent.
The philosophy of “rules, not rulers” defines Bitcoin’s disruptive power. Click to learn more..
Execution cue: Maintain a minimum cash runway policy in fiat so the core BTC allocation isn’t forced to fund operations during FX shocks.
4) “ETF plumbing upgrade” ,  structural tailwinds
What it looks like: Post-in-kind ETF mechanics tighten spreads and improve creation/redemption efficiency, helping large allocators move without slippage. Treasury teams that treat ETFs as “policy dry-powder” (alongside spot coin) can toggle exposure more nimbly around earnings windows and blackout periods.
Execution cue: Document an ETF vs. spot decision tree in policy: when to hold coins (long-term reserve) versus using ETF shares for tactical liquidity.
The Canadian market is uniquely positioned to benefit from Bitcoin adoption. Click to learn more.
5) “Post-halving fee spikes / miner stress” ,  volatility pockets
What it looks like: Supply is structurally lower after April 20, 2024; fees can surge during on-chain congestion, and miner behavior may change. None of this invalidates a corporate treasury thesis, but it can increase near-term volatility. Align risk controls (withdrawal whitelists, dual-control, time-locks) with your custody partner and make sure your IR explainer for fair-value accounting prepares investors for mark-to-market noise.
Execution cue: Keep scenario-tested draw triggers: buy weakness in pre-set bands rather than “feeling the tape.”
6) “Risk-off macro shock” ,  flows flip, spreads widen
What it looks like: Sudden macro scares (geopolitics, growth scares) and weekly crypto fund outflows. Expect wider spreads and fragmented liquidity, plan to step back, not chase. CoinShares’ flow data and your custody venue’s depth snapshots help determine whether to pause buying or place bids lower.
Execution cue: Communicate what you won’t do (e.g., no forced sales, no leverage changes) and reiterate long-term targets; investors prize predictability in stress.
The common thread: measure per-share progress
Whatever the scenario, investors judge execution by BPS (bitcoin-per-share), BTC divided by diluted shares, plus financing efficiency (coupon + implied dilution per BTC). In “easing” tapes, BPS should climb quickly; in “higher-for-longer,” your goal is to defend BPS while pacing issuance and facility draws. Make BPS the headline KPI in every update.
Case study: Matador’s “fund → buy → disclose” loop
A pure-treasury operator can pre-wire flexibility and transparency:
Fund: In July 2025 Matador secured a USD $100M secured convertible-note facility (initial USD $10.5M funded) dedicated to BTC purchases, optionality for multiple macro tapes.Buy: The company followed with date-stamped purchase updates (e.g., August 11, 2025) that roll holdings forward so investors can track BPS and cost basis.Disclose: A live press-releases page anchors cadence, keeping shareholders informed through both inflow weeks and risk-off periods.
That loop, commit capacity, execute programmatically, disclose consistently, works across scenarios.
Quick operator checklist (clip this)
Codify scenarios (the six above) with pre-approved draw bands and deal windows.Track ETF flows weekly to gauge institutional demand (and your pacing).Separate strategic reserves (spot BTC) from tactical exposure (ETFs) in policy, especially now that in-kind mechanics reduce frictions.Publish BPS (diluted), holdings, and cost basis on a set cadence, monthly + quarterly roll-forwards.Rehearse an IR script for fair-value volatility so earnings day doesn’t surprise anyone.
Conclusion
Great bitcoin-treasury programs aren’t about guessing next quarter’s price, they’re about acting consistently across regimes. Whether liquidity is flowing into ETFs, real yields are biting, or the dollar is sprinting, your policy should specify how much you buy, when you draw, and what you disclose. With the ETF market now more efficient and supply structurally lower post-halving, disciplined teams can compound BPS through cycles, exactly the kind of playbook a specialized operator like Matador is set up to run.

Traditional public-key cryptography, including algorithms like RSA, Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), and Digital Signature Algorithms (DSA, ECDSA, EdDSA), relies on mathematical problems that are computationally infeasible for classical computers to solve.

However, quantum computers, armed with algorithms like Shor’s algorithm, can efficiently break these problems in polynomial time. This means that once a sufficiently powerful quantum computer becomes a reality, the digital signatures securing our online world will become useless.

The implications are far-reaching. Critical security components such as TLS (Transport Layer Security) certificates which secure HTTPS websites, online banking, and messaging apps and digital identities will be compromised. 

Adversaries could launch “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” attacks, collecting today’s encrypted data to decrypt it once quantum capabilities mature. For blockchain transactions, currently secured by ECDSA signatures (as seen in Bitcoin and Ethereum), this vulnerability could allow quantum computers to forge transactions and steal funds.

The urgency to transition to quantum-resistant cryptography is undeniable to prevent a future where all digital security is fundamentally broken.

The Critical Need for Post-Quantum Signatures

To safeguard against this impending crisis, cryptographic researchers are developing Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Post-quantum digital signatures are crucial for establishing long-term security in a quantum-dominated world.

Securing Digital Identity and Authentication: Digital certificates, including SSL/TLS, email signatures, and blockchain-based identities, currently depend on RSA/ECC. PQC ensures that digital authentication remains unbreakable, providing a robust foundation for secure digital identity in the quantum era.

Protecting TLS Certificates and Secure Communications: The ability of quantum computers to break TLS encryption means sensitive communications could be intercepted. Quantum-resistant TLS protocols, already being tested by major tech companies using algorithms like SLHDSA and Dilithium, are vital for maintaining the privacy and integrity of internet communications.

Future-Proofing Blockchain Transactions: Cryptocurrencies are particularly exposed, as their ECDSA signatures could be exploited by quantum attackers to forge transactions and compromise funds. A transition to quantum-safe signatures is essential for the long-term viability and security of decentralized ledgers.

The NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization process has already selected quantum-resistant algorithms for standardization, underscoring the immediate need for governments, financial institutions, and enterprises to begin migrating.

Quranium’s Quantum-Secure Solution: SLHDSA

Quranium, founded in early 2024 by Web3 visionaries, positions itself as the world’s first Convergence Layer, uniting Quantum, Blockchain, and AI to create a secure, fast, and intelligent digital era. A cornerstone of its mission is to deliver quantum-secure Layer 1 infrastructure built on NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography.

At the heart of Quranium’s quantum security strategy is the SLHDSA (Stateless Hash-Based Digital Signature Algorithm). SLHDSA is a NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptographic signature scheme that is secure against both classical and quantum attacks. Unlike traditional ECDSA signatures, which rely on elliptic curves, SLHDSA’s security is based on hash functions, making it immune to Shor’s algorithm and resistant to quantum cryptanalysis.

Experience QSafe, Quranium’s revolutionary crypto wallet engineered for next-generation quantum security. Click to learn more.

Quranium’s integration of SLHDSA fundamentally replaces the vulnerable ECDSA at the core cryptographic layer, making all network activities quantum-proof. This commitment to quantum security is reflected throughout its ecosystem:

Secure Digital Identities: In the QSafe Wallet, a user’s mnemonic phrase deterministically generates SLHDSA keys for signing transactions on the Quranium Chain, alongside ML-KEM keys for encryption.

The SLHDSA public key is then used to derive a blockchain address compatible with the Quranium Chain. This robust key generation process, resistant to quantum attacks, provides a new standard for digital identity in the decentralized world.

Quantum-Secure Transactions: Every transaction on the Quranium Chain is signed using an SLHDSA private key, generating a signature that is approximately 49,856 bytes in size. While significantly larger than traditional signatures, this ensures maximum resistance against quantum threats. The SLHDSA signature, along with the user’s public key, is appended to the transaction for verification by Quranium nodes.

Protected Backups: Wallet backups are automatically encrypted locally using ML-KEM, another NIST-standardized lattice-based post-quantum encryption scheme, ensuring sensitive data is protected against quantum attacks. 

Critically, these encrypted backups are then signed using the user’s SLHDSA private key to ensure their authenticity and tamper-proof verification before being uploaded. This SLHDSA signature also serves as a proof of ownership for the ML-KEM private key.

Blockchain Integrity and Validator Authentication: The Quranium Chain, operating on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) model, secures block proposals and validator attestations using SLHDSA.

Block headers are signed by validators with SLHDSA, and the validator registry maintains SLHDSA public keys, ensuring the integrity of the blockchain and the quantum-secure identity of network participants.

EVM Compatibility and Adaptability: While maintaining broad EVM compatibility, Quranium introduces specific modifications to integrate SLHDSA seamlessly. Notably, it replaces Ethereum’s ecrecover precompile with a custom precompile called slhrecover.

This slhrecover function accepts the 49,920-byte SLHDSA signature as input and returns the associated 64-byte public key, enabling dApps and smart contracts to verify signer identity in a quantum-secure manner.

Conclusion

The quantum computing revolution necessitates a fundamental re-evaluation of our digital security standards. The vulnerabilities inherent in current cryptographic systems affecting digital identities, TLS certificates, and blockchain transactions demand immediate and robust solutions.

Quranium directly addresses this challenge by pioneering a new standard with its SLHDSA-powered blockchain architecture. By integrating NIST-approved post-quantum signatures at its core, Quranium ensures that digital identities are truly secure, transactions are future-proofed against quantum attacks, and the entire decentralized ecosystem can operate with uncrackable assurance in the face of emerging threats. The era of quantum-secure digital identity and authentication is not just a distant prospect; with Quranium’s SLHDSA, it is rapidly becoming a reality.

The digital world relies heavily on cryptographic systems to secure our identities, communications, and transactions. From the moment we log into online banking to the blockchain transfers that underpin decentralized finance, digital signatures and encryption are the unseen guardians of trust. 
However, the imminent arrival of large-scale quantum computers poses an existential threat to these foundational security mechanisms. Current public-key cryptography, the bedrock of modern digital security, is fundamentally vulnerable to quantum attacks.

Getting your bitcoin treasury strategy right is only half the battle. The other half is how, and how often, you communicate it. This playbook distills what investors, auditors, and regulators expect, and it lays out simple, repeatable habits your IR team can implement right away.
1) Anchor on the new accounting baseline (ASU 2023-08)
Under FASB ASU 2023-08, in-scope crypto assets (including bitcoin) are measured at fair value with changes in earnings. The standard also expands disclosures (for example: name, quantity/units, cost basis, fair value, restrictions, and an annual roll-forward of aggregate holdings). Build your template around those items so every update feels complete and comparable.
What to publish each period
BTC units held (date-stamped)Diluted share count used for your per-share metricsCost basis and period-end fair valueChanges in the period (purchases, sales, impairments if any, reclasses)Any restrictions on use or transfer of the assets (e.g., collateral)
2) Explain custody in plain English, using regulator vocabulary
Investors want to know who holds the keys and how assets are protected. Borrow language from the strictest frameworks so your disclosure answers questions before they’re asked.
Segregation & no rehypothecation. New York’s DFS guidance for virtual-currency custodians expects segregation of customer assets, clear sub-custody descriptions, and prominent customer disclosures. Even if you’re outside NY, mirroring its “segregation / limited use / sub-custody / disclosure” pattern sets a high bar.
The company’s 6,000 BTC target positions it alongside other corporate Bitcoin pioneers. Click to learn more.
Banks re-entering custody. In 2025, the U.S. OCC clarified that national banks may provide crypto-asset custody (fiduciary or non-fiduciary) and related services; describe any bank or bank-linked trust you use, and how you oversee them.SAB-121 rescission. The SEC rescinded SAB 121 via SAB 122 in January 2025, easing a key accounting obstacle for banks safeguarding crypto, use that context when you explain why you selected a qualified custodian.
One-liner you can adapt:
“We safeguard our bitcoin with a regulated custodian under a segregated-asset model (no rehypothecation). If sub-custodians are used, we disclose them and monitor through SOC reports and service-level reviews.”
3) Publish investor-grade evidence, avoid PoR pitfalls
“Proof-of-reserves” posts aren’t a substitute for audits. The PCAOB has warned that PoR engagements are not audits and provide limited assurance. If you share transparency snapshots, label them accordingly and pair them with auditor-testable artifacts (e.g., wallet mappings, BIP-322 message signing, reconciliations).
Investors are watching closely as Matador Technologies channels $100M into Bitcoin. Click to learn more.
4) Make per-share transparency your north star
Raw “coins held” can mislead when equity is issued. Adopt Bitcoin-per-Share (BPS), BTC divided by diluted shares, as your headline KPI, and keep the denominator consistent across updates. In practice, the market rewards companies that grow BPS while explaining any financing that could dilute it.
Publish with context:
BPS (with the diluted share count used)Acquisition cost vs. spotFinancing activity (ATM, convertibles, facilities), and how it affects BPS going forwardCustody summary (from §2)
Learn how Bitcoin enforces “rules, not rulers” in today’s financial system.
5) Establish a predictable disclosure cadence (and stick to it)
Markets value rhythm. Consider a monthly holdings update (press release + IR page) and a fuller quarterly package that ties ASU 2023-08 tables to your KPIs.
Example cadence: MicroStrategy/Strategy routinely issues time-stamped purchase updates and folds treasury KPIs into earnings materials, investors know when to expect numbers and how to track progress.Example: Matador Technologies pairs facility news with ongoing holdings updates (e.g., a US$100M convertible-note facility with an initial US$10.5M tranche dedicated to BTC purchases, followed by purchase disclosures), creating a clean “fund → buy → disclose” narrative.
Bitcoin offers Canadians a hedge, an opportunity, and a technology worth understanding. Click to learn more.
6) Map your disclosures to where risk actually lives
A good transparency page (or IR appendix) should answer:
Where is the bitcoin? Custodian name, regulatory status, and sub-custody summary.Who can move it? High-level wallet policy (e.g., multisig/MPC, dual control) without op-sec details.What could restrict use? Any liens, collateralization, or regulatory holds.How does accounting flow through? A short explainer that fair-value changes run through earnings under ASU 2023-08.
7) Use consistent, investor-friendly language
Replace crypto-native jargon with terms auditors and portfolio managers already use:
“Segregated assets” instead of “not your keys, not your coins.”“Diluted share count” instead of “FDV math.”“Fair value through earnings (ASU 2023-08)” instead of “mark-to-market vibes.”
8) A reusable template for your next holdings update
Header: “Bitcoin Treasury Update ,  <Month DD, YYYY>”
Body (3 short paragraphs):
Units, cost basis, fair value (date-stamped), BPS with diluted shares.Period activity: purchases/sales, any financing draws/issuance and the expected BPS impact, brief custody statement.Forward look: policy reminders (e.g., target draw cadence, risk controls), and a link to your ASU 2023-08 disclosure tables on the IR site.
9) Bonus for CFOs: align ops with the policy environment
Communications are stronger when they reflect the operating reality:
If you use a bank custodian or bank-linked trust, include a sentence on oversight consistent with the OCC’s 2025 clarifications.If you serve New York customers, echo NYDFS expectations on segregation and sub-custody in your disclosures.If you previously referenced SAB 121, update your language to reflect the SAB 122 rescission.
10) Checklist (clip this)
Publish ASU 2023-08 tables and keep a monthly rhythm for holdings.Lead with BPS (diluted) and explain financing impacts clearly.Describe custody with regulator-grade terms (segregation, no rehypothecation, sub-custody).Avoid calling PoR “an audit;” label it clearly and pair with audit-ready evidence.If using bank custody, acknowledge OCC posture; if in NY, mirror NYDFS wording.

The dawn of a new digital era promises unprecedented possibilities, reshaping how we interact, transact, and innovate. To fully realize this potential, the foundational infrastructure must embody three critical attributes: unwavering security, exceptional speed, and inherent intelligence. This vision extends beyond mere technological advancement; it aims to foster an inclusive and robust digital environment where these pillars serve as the bedrock for universal access and seamless experience.
The Imperative of Unbreakable Security
In an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape, characterized by the looming specter of quantum computing, security is paramount. Future digital systems must be fortified against both classical and emergent quantum attacks to safeguard data, transactions, and digital identities for decades to come.
Quantum-Resistant Cryptography
A cornerstone of future security is the adoption of post-quantum cryptography. Traditional public-key encryption methods like RSA and ECC, widely used today, are vulnerable to algorithms like Shor’s algorithm, which quantum computers can exploit.
Explore how Quranium is redefining cybersecurity through its groundbreaking quantum-resistant technologies. Click to learn more. 
The digital tomorrow requires a shift to quantum-resistant schemes, such as the Stateless Hash-Based Digital Signature Algorithm (SLHDSA). This NIST-standardized algorithm, based on hash functions, offers strong resistance against both classical and quantum adversaries, as it is immune to Shor's algorithm and only minimally impacted by Grover's algorithm. 
Implementing SLHDSA at the core level of transaction signing ensures that all user actions, from sending funds to interacting with smart contracts, are quantum-safe.
Beyond signatures, quantum-secure encryption is vital for protecting sensitive data. Lattice-based post-quantum encryption schemes, such as ML-KEM, can be utilized for securely encrypting backups, messages, and other private information. This hybrid approach, combining ML-KEM with symmetric ciphers like XSalsa20-Poly1305, ensures data remains confidential even in a post-quantum world.
Robust Data and Wallet Management
For individual users, secure wallet solutions are indispensable. These systems must generate and manage cryptographic keys from a single, securely stored mnemonic phrase. Crucially, they should separate keys for signing (SLHDSA) and encryption (ML-KEM) to enhance security. 
Best practices for users include physically storing mnemonic phrases offline, using strong, unique passwords for local wallet access, and periodically testing recovery processes. Furthermore, systems should implement features like automatic encrypted backups, signed with quantum-resistant algorithms to prevent tampering.
Transaction validation is another critical layer of defense. Users must be empowered to rigorously review details such as recipient addresses, gas fees, and slippage tolerance before signing any transaction. 
Dive into the Convergence Layer where Quranium blends quantum computing, blockchain, and AI to build an uncrackable future. Click to learn more. 
Features like real-time preview of swap details and advanced modes to inspect raw transaction data are essential to prevent permanent loss of funds due to errors or malicious attacks.
Decentralized and Verifiable Infrastructure
The underlying network must promote decentralization and integrity through robust consensus mechanisms. Proof-of-Stake (PoS) models, where validators are responsible for proposing and attesting to new blocks, offer energy efficiency and rapid finality. 
With validators signing block headers and attestations using SLHDSA, the entire block production process is quantum-secure. Full nodes, which independently maintain and verify the entire blockchain, further strengthen decentralization and allow users to trustlessly interact with the network.
Accelerating Digital Interactions: The Need for Speed
A truly accessible digital future demands infrastructure capable of processing vast amounts of data with minimal delay. Speed translates directly to efficiency, enabling real-time applications and fostering a fluid user experience.
Experience QSafe, Quranium’s revolutionary crypto wallet engineered for next-generation quantum security. Click to learn more.
High Transaction Throughput and Low Latency
Future digital systems should aim for high transaction throughput, enabling many transactions per second (TPS). This is crucial for high-frequency use cases such as decentralized finance (DeFi), NFT marketplaces, and gaming. Similarly, low network latency ensures near-instant transaction confirmations, often under a few seconds, which is vital for real-time interactions.
Achieving this requires optimized network protocols. Efficient transaction encoding, streamlined mempool management, and improved block propagation mechanisms reduce bandwidth consumption and increase synchronization speed between network nodes. Compact block relay protocols, for instance, minimize the data transmitted between nodes, speeding up block acceptance across the network.
Fast Finality and Seamless Operations
Fast finality is a key characteristic, ensuring that transactions, once included in a block, become irreversible quickly. PoS systems can achieve finality in minutes, providing rapid settlement for digital assets and interactions. This rapid settlement is complemented by efficient network timekeeping, such as slot-based systems where a block can be proposed every few seconds.
For a seamless user experience, digital wallets should support multi-chain compatibility, allowing users to manage assets across diverse blockchain ecosystems through a single interface. The ability to add custom networks and switch between them effortlessly is also important, catering to developers and advanced users engaging with various blockchain environments.
Building Intelligent and Adaptive Systems
The digital tomorrow is not just about speed and security; it's about systems that are inherently intelligent, adaptive, and capable of fostering innovation.
AI-Powered Development and Automation
Future digital infrastructure will integrate AI-native architectures, where autonomous agents can build, audit, govern, and optimize processes. This integration extends to developer tools, creating smart systems that accelerate innovation. 
For example, AI-enhanced integrated development environments (IDEs) can provide intelligent code completions, debugging guidance, and even natural language contract generation. Such tools democratize development, allowing both seasoned blockchain engineers and enthusiastic beginners to create secure and efficient decentralized applications (DApps).
The ability to switch between multiple AI models further tailors the code generation experience to specific needs, balancing speed, quality, and computational requirements.
Interoperable and Multi-Chain Infrastructure
The digital tomorrow demands seamless interoperability between different digital environments. This requires foundational layers that act as a "convergence layer," uniting diverse technologies like quantum computing, blockchain, and AI. The infrastructure should enable the shift from siloed technologies to truly interoperable, autonomous systems.
Full EVM compatibility is crucial for broader adoption, allowing developers to deploy Solidity smart contracts without modification and utilize existing Ethereum development tools like Remix, Hardhat, and Foundry. Beyond EVM, comprehensive support for various blockchain standards from Bitcoin's UTXO-based chains to Solana's high-performance SPL tokens and Substrate-based networks like Polkadot is essential for a truly interconnected digital ecosystem.
A Future for All: Convergence and Accessibility
Designing the digital tomorrow is about building an era that is secure, fast, and intelligent for everyone. This entails creating platforms that are resilient against future threats, responsive to real-time demands, and intuitive enough to empower a diverse range of users and developers. 
By prioritizing post-quantum security measures, optimizing for high performance, and integrating advanced AI capabilities with broad interoperability, the foundation can be laid for a digital landscape that is accessible, equitable, and capable of supporting the next wave of human innovation. This future is built on convergence, where complex technologies work in harmony to create a truly uncrackable and intelligent digital world for all.

Companies accumulate BTC differently depending on four factors: accounting rules, access to regulated investment products (ETFs/ETPs), custody regulation, and capital markets plumbing.

Implication: Policy remains dynamic. For corporates operating there, treat legal and tax analysis as live and plan for disclosure around risk, custody, and accounting.
Strategy Patterns You’ll See on the Map
“Pure-treasury” public companies (e.g., North America & Japan)Core KPI: Bitcoin-per-Share (BPS); financing via convertibles/facilities; frequent holdings updates. Matador is a North American example of this model.Operating companies with treasury BTC (U.S., EU, Japan)Blend operating cash flow buys with ETFs/ETPs for liquidity and balance-sheet flexibility under fair-value accounting (U.S.) or local reporting norms (IFRS reporters).ETF-only policy (global HQs using U.S./HK/CA products)Hold regulated fund shares instead of spot BTC; simplifies custody and some controls, but may add expense and tracking error.Regional opportunists (UAE/EU)Use licensed custodians/venues under VARA/ADGM or MiCA-aligned CASPs; combine with ETPs on SIX/Xetra for treasury liquidity.
How to Choose Your Regional Playbook (Checklist)
Accounting & audit: If you’re a U.S. filer, plan now for ASU 2023-08 tables (fair value, roll-forwards). IFRS reporters should align with local guidance and auditor expectations.Access & liquidity: Map your ETF/ETP options (U.S., HK, Canada, EU) vs. spot BTC and decide the mix that fits treasury policy and risk.Custody: Prefer regulated custodians (bank or licensed trust) in your operating region; validate SOC reports and incident history; track the banks re-opening crypto custody.Capital markets: If you’re a pure-treasury operator, stage capital (shelves, convertibles, facilities) and communicate a BPS-focused roadmap. Matador’s facility + cadence is a clean template.
TL;DR by Region
U.S.: ETFs + fair value + bank custody momentum → scalable, investor-friendly treasury programs.Canada: Early ETF pioneer; simple access.EU/CH/DE: MiCA + long-running ETP markets (SIX/Xetra).Japan: Corporate pivots (e.g., Metaplanet) testing aggressive playbooks.Hong Kong: Spot Bitcoin ETFs with in-kind mechanics.UAE: Clear rulebooks for custody/exchanges under VARA & ADGM. El Salvador: 2021 legal-tender launch later amended in 2025; check local rules continuously.
Good Example
If you’re benchmarking pure-treasury operators, look for staged financing + transparent updates. Matador’s North American posture, US$100M facility dedicated to BTC, illustrates how to scale holdings methodically while communicating progress investors can track.

In an increasingly digitized world, our reliance on digital trust underpins nearly every interaction, from global financial transactions to personal communications. This trust is built upon the bedrock of cryptography, complex mathematical algorithms designed to protect our data and identities. However, a seismic shift is on the horizon: the advent of quantum computing. 
The formidable capabilities of future quantum computers threaten to render our current cryptographic safeguards obsolete, exposing a vast array of digital assets and sensitive information to unprecedented risks. This looming threat necessitates a fundamental rethinking of digital security and a proactive pivot towards advanced, quantum-secure solutions to ensure an uncrackable digital future.

The Quantum Threat to Current Cryptography
The urgency of this shift stems from the formidable power of quantum algorithms. Traditional public-key cryptography, such as RSA, Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), and Digital Signature Algorithms (DSA, ECDSA, EdDSA), relies on mathematical problems that are computationally infeasible for classical computers to solve. 
However, Shor's algorithm, developed in 1994, demonstrates that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer can efficiently factor large numbers and solve discrete logarithms, thereby breaking these cryptographic mainstays. Furthermore, Grover's algorithm can accelerate brute-force attacks on symmetric-key cryptography, albeit with a quadratic speedup rather than a complete breakage. 
This means that once large-scale quantum computers become a reality, all digital signatures currently in use will be vulnerable, impacting everything from code signing and TLS certificates to blockchain transactions and secure communications. The threat is so significant that adversaries could engage in "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" attacks, collecting today's encrypted data for future decryption once quantum capabilities emerge. This critical vulnerability underscores the immediate need for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).

Quranium: Engineering Unbreakable Digital Trust
Pioneering this new era of digital trust is Quranium, which positions itself as the world’s first Convergence Layer, where Quantum, Blockchain, and AI unite. Founded by Web3 visionaries in early 2024, Quranium is a decentralized, quantum-secure Layer 1 blockchain engineered specifically to combat the quantum threat. 
Its core mission is "To create a digital era that’s Secure, Fast, and Intelligent". The core advantage of Quranium lies in its foundation of NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography, making it inherently resistant to future quantum computer attacks. Quranium is "Home to the Uncrackable Digital Future".
The cornerstone of Quranium’s security is the Stateless Hash-based Digital Signature Algorithm (SLHDSA). SLHDSA is a NIST-standardized PQC scheme that leverages hash-based cryptography rather than number-theoretic assumptions, rendering it immune to Shor's algorithm and providing robust security against both classical and quantum adversaries.
Dive into the Convergence Layer where Quranium blends quantum computing, blockchain, and AI to build an uncrackable future. Click to learn more. 
Unlike some other hash-based schemes, SLHDSA is stateless, meaning it does not require maintaining state across multiple signatures, which simplifies implementation and enhances security management by avoiding risks of accidental key reuse. This deterministic and provably secure approach ensures that Quranium is designed for long-term security where quantum-safe signatures are needed today.
Multi-Layered Quantum Security Across the Ecosystem
Quranium's commitment to quantum security is deeply embedded across its entire ecosystem, ensuring a multi-layered defense against evolving threats.
QSafe Wallet: Quantum-Secure by Design
The QSafe Wallet is specifically designed to be quantum-secure. It uses SLHDSA keys for signing transactions on the Quranium Chain, ensuring that all user actions, such as sending tokens or interacting with smart contracts, are quantum-safe. 
Furthermore, ML-KEM (Module-Lattice-based Key Encapsulation Mechanism) keys are used for encryption, such as securely encrypting backups, messages, and sensitive data. Both distinct key pairs (SLHDSA for signing and ML-KEM for encryption) are deterministically derived from a user's 12-word or 24-word recovery phrase (mnemonic), following the BIP-39 standard, which acts as the root of trust for the wallet.
When a transaction occurs on the Quranium Chain, it's signed with an SLHDSA private key, and the public key is included directly in the signature, addressing the challenge that SLHDSA does not support key recovery in the same way as ECDSA.
Experience QSafe, Quranium’s revolutionary crypto wallet engineered for next-generation quantum security. Click to learn more.
To bridge this gap for decentralized applications (dApps), Quranium introduces a custom precompiled contract called slhrecover, which accepts the full SLHDSA signature and returns the associated public key, enabling dApps and smart contracts to verify signer identity securely. This unique feature ensures compatibility for key recovery workflows while maintaining post-quantum security.
Consensus Layer: SLHDSA at the Core
Quranium integrates SLHDSA into its foundational blockchain layers. Its Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus model explicitly replaces traditional BLS (Boneh–Lynn–Shacham) signatures with SLHDSA for validator signing operations, including block proposals and attestations. This critical upgrade mitigates the risk of future mass validator compromise by ensuring post-quantum security at the consensus layer itself. 
The network is actively working towards a complete phase-out of all elliptic curve cryptography in favor of fully hash-based, quantum-resistant alternatives like SLHDSA, with a roadmap to replace residual BLS-based components and improve signature compression suitable for SLHDSA.
Q-Remix IDE: Quantum-Ready Development Environment
Beyond individual wallets and core consensus, Quranium extends its quantum-secure philosophy to its development tools. The Q-Remix IDE, Quranium's AI-enhanced integrated development environment for smart contracts and dApps, is designed to be quantum-ready. 
It supports Quranium’s research-backed standards in post-quantum cryptography, helping developers future-proof their dApps against the quantum era. Q-Remix bridges traditional blockchain development with post-quantum resilience, serving as a gateway to secure, intelligent, and quantum-resilient decentralized development.
The Road Ahead: Building an Unbreakable Digital Future
The path to unbreakable digital trust in a quantum world demands visionary solutions and robust implementation. Quranium's mission to create a digital era that is Secure, Fast, and Intelligent is not merely an aspiration but a necessity. 
By meticulously engineering its Layer 1 blockchain with NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography (SLHDSA) and integrating these advanced security solutions across its entire ecosystem from the QSafe Wallet to the Q-Remix IDE and its core consensus Quranium positions itself at the forefront of this crucial evolution. The age of convergence has begun, and with it, the dawn of unbreakable digital trust, engineered for what’s next.

We’ve talked for a decade about “blockchain voting.” In 2026, Peru will actually pilot it and the design choices point to how Web3 can strengthen, not strain, democratic legitimacy. Syscoin, anchored to Bitcoin security, sits at the center of this shift 
From whitepapers to real voters 
For years, “blockchain for elections” lived in panels and papers. Now it has a date: April 12, 2026, when Peru’s electoral authority (ONPE) will run a digital-voting pilot for specific groups: citizens abroad, voters registered in Lima’s Cercado district, on-duty military and police, health workers, firefighters, and people with registered disabilities. The plan rolls out under Law 32270 and related regulations, with participation from Stamping.io, a Peru-based provider of blockchain and cryptographic-proof tooling. 
Past pushes often overreached, putting ballots on-chain or relying on mobile apps with weak endpoints creating privacy, coercion, and auditability problems. Peru’s pilot takes a narrower, safer role for blockchain: publish proofs, not votes; anchor those proofs to public chains for tamper-evidence; and bind eligibility using state PKI (DNIe) via Voto Digital. Proofs post to institutional infrastructure (e.g., LACNet) and to Syscoin (merge-mined with Bitcoin) so anyone can verify integrity independently, while ONPE keeps operations and audits sovereign. It’s not “voting on the blockchain” it’s voting with cryptographic guardrails. 
Why blockchain helps—when used surgically Elections demand three things blockchain does unusually well when deployed narrowly: 
● Public verifiability without centralized trust. Anchoring proofs on an immutable ledger lets observers parties, media, NGOs, citizens, verify integrity independently of the operator. 
● Tamper-evident timelines. Hash-chained records create irreversible audit trails.
● Composability. Proofs from identity, ballots, and tallies can be stitched together for end-to-end checks. 
Peru’s architecture pairs a permissioned institutional network LACNet with public anchoring on Syscoin, which is merge-mined with Bitcoin, the goal is for integrity proofs to inherit strong, economically backed finality. 
Why Syscoin matters here 
Syscoin has spent years building Bitcoin-anchored modular infrastructure: a UTXO base layer merge-mined with Bitcoin and an EVM environment designed to inherit Bitcoin’s security guarantees via anchoring and finality techniques. In the Peru pilot narrative, Syscoin is the public anchoring rail, where neutrality, uptime, and tamper-evidence matter more than hype. As a founding member of the Decentralized Identity Foundation (co-founded by Microsoft), Syscoin has contributed to DID standards that help shape this kind of public-sector anchoring. 
Beyond a single deployment, Syscoin’s roadmap converges on a thesis that fits public-interest systems: application-specific chains (“edgechains”) that scale while settling into Bitcoin’s proof-of-work—so institutions get sovereignty and throughput without losing auditability.

Enter zkSYS: sovereign ZK chains with Bitcoin security 
This year, Syscoin’s zkSYS initiative moved from concept to devnets and soon to public testing. Built with ZK-rollup tech on Syscoin’s modular base, zkSYS shows how teams can launch their own ZK chains that settle into Bitcoin via Syscoin—combining high throughput, low fees, efficient gas use, and BitcoinDA (data availability) with the audit properties institutions care about. Plain English: spin up a purpose-built ZK chain, keep performance, inherit Bitcoin’s credibility. 
For democratic systems, that unlocks a compelling pattern: 
● Local sovereignty. An election authority (or a consortium of watchdogs) can operate its own ZK chain for pre- and post-election processes—registries, proofs, tally checkpoints. 
● Selective transparency. Publish proofs, not identities or ballots, with public verification anchored to Bitcoin via Syscoin. 
● Policy-aware design. Build audit workflows, court-grade reproducible proofs, publication schedules, and scalable dispute resolution into chain logic. 
Peru’s 2026 pilot isn’t zkSYS-based (it predates it), but it illustrates the trajectory: a pragmatic hybrid today, with a path to sovereign ZK chains tomorrow as standards and teams mature. 
Democracy upgraded 
The promise here isn’t “voting on the blockchain.” It’s democratic accountability with cryptographic guardrails: 
● Public auditability by default: verify integrity proofs, don’t just trust PDFs. 
● Institutional sovereignty: operators run their own stacks; the blockchain layer acts as a neutral courtroom record. 
● Gradualism over maximalism: start with limited cohorts and audited pilots, iterate on threat models, publish learnings Peru’s phased approach shows the way. 
Where this goes from here 
Peru’s pilot is the clearest signal yet that blockchain’s role in democracy is moving from concept to operational reality using public anchoring (Syscoin → Bitcoin) precisely where it shines: independent verification and tamper evidence. zkSYS is the next logical step: project-owned ZK
chains that inherit Bitcoin security, giving public-interest systems the throughput and sovereignty they need without sacrificing auditability. 
If the 2026 pilot delivers on its modest, well-scoped goals, expect election-adjacent systems audits, tally proofs, citizen verification portals, dispute processes—to standardize around Bitcoin-anchored, ZK-powered rails. That’s not just good for Web3; it’s healthy democracy, cryptographically verifiable by design.

Corporate bitcoin treasuries are no longer a curiosity, they’re a defined capital allocation strategy. The playbook to fund that strategy matters just as much as conviction: it shapes cost of capital, dilution, risk, and the ability to buy dips. New accounting rules from the FASB (fair-value for crypto) also make disclosures clearer, which in turn influences how you communicate financing choices to investors.
Below is a practical guide to the main funding tracks, illustrated with live market examples and a case study of Matador Technologies Inc. (TSXV:MATA, OTCQB:MATAF, FSE:IU3), an emerging bitcoin-treasury company using a staged facility to scale holdings.
Why does funding structure matter?
Financing sets the tempo for accumulation. Convertibles can front-load firepower with equity-like upside for noteholders; credit facilities stage liquidity over time; shelf registrations and ATM programs provide opportunistic equity taps; operating cash flow can dollar-cost-average purchases with zero financing cost. Strategy’s multi-year use of convertible notes remains the canonical example of how structure can accelerate BTC acquisition at scale.
Option 1: Convertible senior notes
What they are. Unsecured debt that can convert into equity at a premium, typically carrying low coupons because investors receive optionality. Note that some convertible notes may be secured against assets, such as bitcoin proceeds from the note.
Why treasuries use them. They deliver large, immediate capacity to buy BTC; the equity optionality reduces borrowing cost vs. straight debt. Conversion premiums can also help minimize future dilution if the note converts.
Operator notes: Watch conversion premiums and caps, settlement mechanics (cash vs. shares), and potential future dilution.
Market example: MicroStrategy priced 0% convertible senior notes in late 2024 with an initial conversion price ~55% above the prevailing share price, illustrating how conversion terms can materially lower interest expense while preserving upside.
Matador Technologies has unveiled a board-approved roadmap to amass 6,000 BTC by 2027. Click to learn more.
Option 2: Credit facilities & structured financing
What they are. Committed capital you can draw in tranches, often with covenants, collateral, and regulatory conditions.
Why treasuries use them. You secure a headline capacity but control timing, ideal for buying weakness and managing basis risk.
Case in point (Matador). In July 2025, Matador Technologies announced a USD $100M financing facility to accelerate its bitcoin-treasury strategy, with $10.5M funded at initial closing and the remainder available upon customary conditions. The company stated proceeds are dedicated to BTC purchases, an example of staged, purpose-built funding for a treasury mandate.
Operator notes: Scrutinize draw conditions (e.g., registration-rights effectiveness, approvals), any collateralization of BTC, and disclosure cadence so investors understand when and how capacity turns into coins.

Option 3: Shelf registrations & ATM equity
What they are. A base shelf prospectus (or equivalent) pre-clears you to issue various securities; an ATM lets you sell small equity blocks into the market over time.
Why treasuries use them. Flexibility. You can raise in favorable windows, minimize market impact, and pair with DCA-style BTC purchasing.
Matador governance & readiness. Ahead of its facility, Matador’s board approved a long-term acquisition strategy and filed a preliminary short-form base shelf to enhance financing flexibility, demonstrating governance alignment plus optionality. Here’s the Press release announcing the shelf prospectus filing.
Option 4: Operating cash flow & treasury optimization
What it is. Reinvesting free cash flow (or optimizing working capital) to accumulate BTC without leveraging the balance sheet.
Bitcoin is reshaping global finance by replacing rulers with rules. Click to learn more.
Why treasuries use it. Zero financing cost, cleaner optics, and fewer dilution or covenant considerations, though accumulation pace depends on business performance.
Context. Institutional playbooks over the last cycle highlight multiple paths, from convertibles to cash-flow DCA, depending on risk tolerance and growth stage.
Risk, reporting & investor relations (IR)
Accounting clarity. Under ASU 2023-08, crypto assets are measured at fair value with changes in earnings; the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after Dec 15, 2024 (early adoption permitted). Your IR script should explain how this interacts with financing and volatility.Disclosure cadence. Regular holdings updates (coins, cost basis, financing capacity used/remaining) build credibility, especially when facilities or convertibles are in play. Matador’s press-release cadence around strategy approval, facility terms, and subsequent purchases is a useful template for consistency.Custody & covenants. Facilities may dictate custody, collateral, or draw pre-conditions; ensure alignment with your key-management and audit posture before you commit. (Tie this back to term sheets and risk factors in filings.)

KPI Toolkit for Bitcoin Treasury Investors
Investors evaluating Bitcoin treasury companies focus on a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess operational efficiency, capital management, and market positioning. These metrics provide a structured framework to determine whether a company is accumulating Bitcoin in a shareholder-accretive manner, creating more Bitcoin value than it consumes, earning a market premium, and managing its capital structure effectively. Below is a logically organized overview of the KPIs, their purpose, and their role in a Bitcoin-first operating model.
Core KPIs for Bitcoin Treasury Companies
BTC per SharePurpose: Measures the amount of Bitcoin held per share and its growth rate over time.Significance: Indicates how effectively the company is accumulating Bitcoin for shareholders.Acquisition Cost vs. SpotPurpose: Compares the cost of acquiring Bitcoin to its current market (spot) price.Significance: Highlights cost efficiency in Bitcoin accumulation strategies.Financing EfficiencyPurpose: Evaluates the cost of financing (coupon rates or embedded dilution) per Bitcoin acquired.Significance: Assesses how efficiently the company uses debt or equity to acquire Bitcoin.Update FrequencyPurpose: Tracks the regularity and transparency of Bitcoin treasury updates.Significance: Reflects the company’s commitment to investor transparency.BTC YieldPurpose: Quantifies shareholder-accretive growth in Bitcoin holdings over time.Significance: Demonstrates the company’s ability to grow its Bitcoin reserves in a value-adding way.BTC GainPurpose: Translates Bitcoin growth into absolute Bitcoin terms.Significance: Provides a clear measure of Bitcoin accumulation independent of fiat fluctuations.BTC $ GainPurpose: Converts Bitcoin growth into fiat terms for traditional financial comparisons.Significance: Bridges Bitcoin performance to conventional valuation metrics.Bitcoin NAV (Net Asset Value)Purpose: Represents the total market value of Bitcoin held by the company.Significance: Offers a snapshot of the company’s Bitcoin asset base.BTC RatingPurpose: Compares Bitcoin NAV to the company’s liabilities.Significance: Assesses financial health and risk exposure relative to Bitcoin holdings.BTC MultiplePurpose: Measures Bitcoin value created per dollar of equity issued.Significance: Evaluates the efficiency of equity financing in generating Bitcoin value.BTC TorquePurpose: Assesses capital efficiency across all funding sources (equity, debt, etc.).Significance: Provides a holistic view of capital deployment in Bitcoin acquisition.mNAV (Market Net Asset Value)Purpose: Captures investor confidence and the market premium on Bitcoin holdings.Significance: Reflects the market’s perception of the company’s Bitcoin strategy.Days to Cover mNAVPurpose: Measures how quickly the company can earn back its market premium.Significance: Indicates the sustainability of the market’s confidence in the company.P/BYD (Price-to-Bitcoin-Yield)Purpose: Prices the company’s forward Bitcoin yield into a valuation multiple.Significance: Offers a forward-looking valuation metric tied to Bitcoin growth.BRR (Bitcoin Retention Rate)Purpose: Measures the rate of Bitcoin accumulation in BTC/month terms.Significance: Quantifies the velocity of Bitcoin stacking over time.FMC (Forward Market Coverage)Purpose: Converts market premium coverage into a time horizon.Significance: Provides a temporal perspective on market premium sustainability.
When used together, these KPIs enable investors to evaluate whether a Bitcoin treasury company is:
Accumulating Bitcoin in a Shareholder-Accretive Way: Metrics like BTC per Share, BTC Yield, and BTC Gain highlight whether Bitcoin growth benefits shareholders without excessive dilution.Creating More Bitcoin Value Than Capital Consumed: BTC Multiple and BTC Torque reveal the efficiency of capital allocation in generating Bitcoin value.Earning a Market Premium: mNAV, Days to Cover mNAV, and FMC indicate whether the market rewards the company’s Bitcoin strategy with a valuation premium.Managing Capital Structure and Risk Effectively: BTC Rating and Financing Efficiency assess how well the company balances Bitcoin accumulation with financial stability.
In a Bitcoin-first operating model, dilution, leverage, and volatility are strategic levers rather than side effects. These KPIs help investors understand how effectively a company uses these levers to maximize Bitcoin accumulation while maintaining financial discipline.
To benchmark performance, investors can use market trackers such as CoinMarketCap, DroomDroom, or independent dashboards to compare a company’s KPIs against peers. Investor Relations (IR) teams should map these KPIs to public comparables to provide context and demonstrate competitive positioning.
Mini case study: Staging a treasury with a facility (Matador)
Mandate: Board-approved long-term BTC acquisition strategy.Capacity: USD $100M facility sized to multi-year targets, with tranches gated by customary conditions.Execution: Initial USD $10.5M draw; proceeds dedicated to BTC purchases.Disclosure: Follow-on updates on holdings growth (e.g., August purchase update) sustain investor trust.
For companies earlier in their journey, this “commit + stage + disclose” approach balances ambition with prudence, funding flexibility, programmatic execution, and clear IR.
Putting it together: a sample funding roadmap
Secure governance (board policy, risk limits, KPI definitions).Pre-clear optionality (shelf & ATM) to complement debt or facilities.Choose a primary engine (convertible notes for scale; facility for staged buying; cash flow for baseline DCA).Align custody & covenants with financing terms.Adopt IR discipline for fair-value reporting and treasury updates.
Conclusion
Funding a bitcoin treasury is not one decision, it’s a portfolio of choices across time. Convertibles can accelerate accumulation when equity conditions are strong; facilities let you buy weakness without sitting on idle cash; shelves and ATMs provide opportunistic taps; operating cash flow compounds quietly in the background. Matador’s staged facility illustrates a pragmatic, disclosure-forward way to execute this playbook while the new FASB standard brings cleaner accounting to the conversation. Done right, structure becomes a competitive edge, lowering friction from mandate to coins on the balance sheet.
