This free, 27-page resource includes:

  • Six ways ANY business can benefit from Bitcoin
  • Some of the best Bitcoin-only businesses to partner with
  • Key Bitcoin concepts for people getting started

Jamie Dimon once called Bitcoin a scam — now JPMorgan is offering it to clients. What changed? In this sharp business roundup, we break down Wall Street's slow pivot, why Ledn went Bitcoin-only, and how Steak 'n Shake Lightning payments signal a shift in real-world adoption. We also explore the bold idea of the U.S. acquiring 1M BTC as part of a sovereign reserve strategy.

Featuring Joe Ianni (Lyncster) and Trey Sellers (Unchained), both trusted advisors to institutions, family offices, and Bitcoin-native businesses.
