Embedded advisory
for businesses that
need to get Bitcoin right.
Longer-term engagements with two kinds of business: established companies integrating Bitcoin into their operations, and Bitcoin-native businesses building products and infrastructure on the protocol.
Bringing Bitcoin into a non-Bitcoin business.
For companies whose core business is anything but Bitcoin — but who see a strategic reason to integrate it. A restaurant chain accepting Bitcoin and treating it as a treasury asset. A manufacturer settling cross-border invoices in sats to escape correspondent-banking fees. A SaaS company paying global contractors via Lightning. Real-world business problems, with Bitcoin as the practical answer.
Treasury & balance sheet
Allocation strategy, custody architecture, accounting workflows, and operational policy for businesses holding Bitcoin on the balance sheet.
Accepting Bitcoin payments
Payment-stack architecture for e-commerce, retail, and services — processor vs. self-hosted, custodial vs. self-custody, fiat auto-conversion vs. sat-native settlement.
Cross-border settlement
Using Bitcoin and Lightning to settle international invoices, intra-group transfers, and supplier payments — avoiding correspondent-banking delays and FX losses.
Payroll & contractor pay
Paying global contractors and remote employees in Bitcoin or Lightning — operational mechanics, accounting, and how to do it without creating a regulatory mess for your finance team.
Building products and infrastructure on Bitcoin.
For businesses whose product is Bitcoin — or rests directly on it. Each advisory relationship is shaped around the specific domain and stage of the business.
Exchange & trading
Market structure, custody architecture, and operational risk for exchanges and trading desks.
Mining
Site selection, energy procurement, fleet management, and treasury strategy for mining operations of all scales.
Lightning & payments
Channel management, liquidity strategy, routing optimisation, and UX design for Lightning-based payment products.
Protocol-adjacent product
Wallets, key management tools, signing devices, and developer infrastructure — product strategy rooted in deep protocol understanding.
Security & threat modeling
Custody architecture reviews, operational security audits, key ceremony design, and organisational threat modeling.
Where the line is.
Advisory engagements are strategic and technical. They do not include legal advice, tax advice, investment advice, or any form of regulated financial advice — for those, you need a solicitor, accountant, or FCA-authorised adviser. If an engagement touches areas that need that kind of sign-off, it gets flagged and we’ll work together to bring in the right professional.
“Scope, duration, and terms are agreed after an initial conversation. Every advisory engagement is different — because every business is different. The structure follows the need.”
