We were excited to take part in Bitcoin Investor Week, where Constantine Karides joined Anthony Pompliano & Christian Lopez of Cohen and Company to discuss M&A trends, capital markets activity, and the evolution of digital-asset treasury strategies as companies incorporate operating businesses.
A group of three individuals is seated on a stage in discussion. Behind them is a large backdrop depicting a grand building with a Bitcoin symbol on it. The person on the left sits in a chair, the middle person gestures while speaking, and the person on the right is seated at a table. An audience is visible in the foreground. A panel discussion is taking place with three individuals on stage. Two people are seated on white chairs, engaged in conversation, while the third person sits at a desk with a microphone. They are on a stage with an audience in front. The backdrop features a large image of a neoclassical building with a Bitcoin symbol. Two individuals are engaged in conversation by a window. Bottles and a view of city buildings can be seen in the background. A large group of people are engaged in conversation at a networking event held in a spacious, well-lit room with large windows. The attendees are dressed in business attire, and there is a sense of active engagement and mingling throughout the space.
