The first members were named this week to the new Treasury Council, a coalition of corporate executives, policymakers, and institutional leaders working to advance crypto’s role in corporate treasury strategy, macro policy, and global finance.
This group of leaders named to the council are with organizations that hold digital assets on their company’s balance sheets. Further, they plan to advocate for others to do so as a part of sound global investment strategy.
The inaugural members of council include:
- Phong Le, CEO, Strategy
- Fred Thiel, chairman and CEO, MARA
- Jason Les, CEO, Riot
- Matt Schultz, CEO, CleanSpark
- Matt Prusak, CEO, American Bitcoin Corp
- Jihan Wu, chair of the board and CEO, Bitdeer Technologies Group
- Chris Pavlovski, founder and CEO, Rumble
- Jaime Leverton, CEO, ReserveOne
- N.G. Zhang, founder and CEO, Canaan Inc.
“This Council brings together the institutional voices who understand what’s at stake. If the U.S. wants to lead on financial innovation, it must listen to the companies already integrating digital assets into their treasury and operations,” Merris Badcock, executive director of the Treasury Council, said.
The group points out that while many leadership groups focus on one jurisdiction or region, the Treasury Council is a global effort to engage and advance adoption of crypto as a store of value in the U.S.
The Treasury Council is a project of The Digital Chamber. It builds on the organization’s efforts to support innovation, job creation and global U.S. leadership on digital assets.
