I’m excited to share that Second Gate Advisory has been folded into $NAKA and I’ll be joining as Chief Operating Officer.

When @bitcoinbeezy and I started Second Gate, the goal was simple: help founders, boards, and investors make better decisions about capital allocation, structure, and growth. Over the past couple years, that mission has taken me deep into Bitcoin mining, M&A, and strategic advisory. It was an amazing chapter that allowed me to work with many different groups, and help them navigate a rapidly evolving and high impact industry.

This next chapter is about doing that work from the inside again! As COO, I’ll be focused on building the tools, structure, strategy, and discipline that allow companies and institutions to integrate Bitcoin into global capital markets at scale for the first time.

We are still in the early innings of Bitcoin’s global adoption. It's been incredible the speculative ideas we nerded out about in the early days of Bitcoin start to take shape. We are seeing Bitcoin become a global financial asset. We are seeing Bitcoin being added to corporate balance sheets. We are seeing Bitcoin grow into a multi-trillion dollar asset. And in time we are seeing Bitcoin become a critical tool at the sovereign level.

That shift requires infrastructure: governance, risk frameworks, capital allocation playbooks, and operational excellence at a scale that matches the opportunity.

The chance to help build that infrastructure—and be part of shaping how Bitcoin becomes a core part of the global financial system—is a challenge I couldn’t be more excited to take on.

To all of the incredible clients, partners, and friends of Second Gate: thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey. The work continues, just from a different seat. ;) Thank you @DavidFBailey and team for having us as part of Naka nation.
