PeterPaul Pardi, Managing Partner at BCP, stated the acquisition aligns with their vision of creating a fully integrated ecosystem spanning infrastructure, custody, and asset management. Phil Lojacono, Founder of Berglinde AG, echoed this, calling the move a “transformative step” that will help bring institutional-grade products to the European Bitcoin economy. BCP is advised by Dr. Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream, and combines expertise from early Bitcoin investors and seasoned institutional finance executives.
