B HODL WEEKLY UPDATE @bitcoinhodlco | AQSE: $HODL | OTCQB: $BHODF | FRA: $F5S ⚡ LSP LAUNCH — B HODL GOES LIVE AS LIGHTNING SERVICES PROVIDER The big news this week: B HODL has launched its Lightning Service Provider platform, now live at lightning.bhodl.com. The platform provides Bitcoin liquidity for businesses, developers, and AI agents building on the Lightning Network, enabling clients to access inbound capacity, manage channels, and integrate via API, without B HODL relinquishing custody of a single sat. This is the second of the operational revenue streams that we outlined in our IPO strategy, expanding our business beyond routing into full liquidity provision and infrastructure services. Our public node, BHODL-PUBLIC-01, is live and open for connection (see below!) From @CoinCornerDanny "This is what we always envisioned when we built B HODL; that we would not just hold Bitcoin, but put it to work at the heart of the Lightning Network." B HODL is currently the UK's first listed Lightning infrastructure business, with our revenue streams include routing fees, liquidity leases, and on-demand channel opening services. Full press release is available on our website, as ever FREE SATS FRIDAY This week's Free Sats Friday ran as usual, with sats distributed to each Lightning address submitted in the weekly post, kindly sponsored by our Chief Bitcoin Officer Danny. We had to cut it a little short as the LSP announcement was timed to go out at 1.00 pm! Apologies if you missed out as a result, and please do follow along and submit your Lightning address next Friday for your chance to receive sats. 🍕 BITCOIN PIZZA DAY — BURY ST EDMUNDS I was out celebrating (and speaking at) Bitcoin Pizza Day on Friday 22 May at The Guildhall, Bury St Edmunds, with the @BSEBTC community event marking the 16th anniversary of Laszlo Hanyecz's legendary 10,000 BTC pizza purchase. We were delighted to support the event as a company and even more pleased to be there in person. BITCOIN IRELAND Some of the team are in Dublin this weekend for Bitcoin Ireland (@BitcoinconfIRL). More to report next week; watch this space. MEDIA Very pleased to contribute to another fascinating article from @medc3005 on the (sad) contrast between attitudes toward Bitcoin in the US versus the UK. Link in the thread. Enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend!

Building the backbone of UK Lightning infrastructure 🇬🇧⚡️ #Bitcoin #BHODL #MissionCompoundBitcoin

Feels great to launch this on the historic pizza day 🍕 Our next step in Bitcoin Lightning yield ⚡️

Happy #BitcoinPizzaDay! 🍕 Drop a 🧡 if you’re celebrating with pizza today!

This is a huge day for @bitcoinhodlco, and the culmination of months of work. First thing is to congratulate and say thank you to my incredible team who have been working flat out to pull this off - thanks and well done. On a company and also a personal level, this is hugely meaningful for us. It marks the launch of our second business line as trailed in our Admission Document; starting with our Lightning routing business, we're now entering the Lighting Service Provider market, offering inbound liquidity channels to enterprise, retail, human and machine customers. It's a huge step for us on our mission to compound our Bitcoin holdings and both to normalise and to simplify the use of Bitcoin as money. Couldn't be happier to have hit the Pizza Day release date as well! Thanks to everyone who made this happen - and on to the next challenge.

B HODL has officially launched its Lightning Service Provider (LSP) platform ⚡️ We’re deploying treasury BTC into the Lightning Network to provide inbound liquidity for businesses, developers, and AI agents to receive Bitcoin payments instantly.

Buy. Hold. Deploy. Compound. The evolution of the Bitcoin Treasury Company. #Bitcoin #BHODL #MissionCompoundBitcoin

B HODL WEEKLY UPDATE @bitcoinhodlco | AQSE: $HODL | OTCQB: $BHODF | FRA: $F5S BTC Treasuries Deep Dive Credit to @medc3005, who sat down with us for an in-depth interview for @BTCtreasuries, producing a great article summarising exactly how we see the Treasury market, the role of payments within the space, and much more besides. Link is here and in the thread: bitcointreasuries.net/news/inside-b-… Free Sats Friday Last week’s giveaway was sponsored by @BitcoinColl who have launched the UK's first Bitcoin Business Network; this week’s by Robin, The Bitcoin Accountant @Thesecretinves2. The number of sats sent out continues to rise, week by week…. We’re continuing with partial automation of the process using our agent @claudiatiberius (still a number of bugs to iron out but today’s process did include a significant number autonomous agentic payments - so a lot of you may have been paid by robot!) Do remember to give each of our sponsors a follow for their support. Podcasts I joined @robinseyr and @bramk this week, for a very different set of podcasts. With Robin we spoke in detail on the wider Treasury company market, on the ideas and concepts behind the model, and what we’re doing specifically at @bitcoinhodlco. With Bram we did a deep dive on the nature of Bitcoin as property, and one that you can actually hold in your head. How the law recognised this is legally ground-breaking, for the jurisprudence geeks among us. Links to both in the thread. Conferences and meetups Some of the team were in Italy this week for the Lightning Summit (tuscanysummit.com) - many useful conversations and some announcements in the pipeline from us; excited to share them with you via the official channels I had a great time as guest speaker at the @bitcoinsurrey meet up; thanks for having me, for the warm welcome, and for the great questions. Looking ahead, we will also have representatives at Bitcoin Pizza Day ( with bsebtc.co.uk ), at the Treasuries Unconference in Bristol, at the Oslo Freedom Forum, at the Freedom Tech Summit in Prague, and of course at @BTCPrague itself. More updates on these as they happen. Agentic AI payments - more demos We continue our work to prove and demonstrate that Lighting doesn’t just work for people; it’s useful for agents as well. We’ve been testing @bitrefill‘s agentic payment stack, and described our findings in the article in the thread. The commercial driver for BHODL is simple - more payments being made on the Lightning Network means more demand for routing and for our Lightning services, more income for the company (and more Bitcoin per share for our shareholders, without dilution). Our motto is ‘don’t wait - participate’ and that’s exactly what we’re doing in this space. Watch out for more announcements coming just as soon as we can make them public!

Loved this chat with @bramk. Despite my tie in the thumbnail, we covered a lot of very metaphysical ground... delving into many of the ideas about what owning Bitcoin actually means; whether a thought can be property, and how banning Bitcoin would effectively be to ban thinking (and impossible). A shout out to the perpetually-missed Gigi, whose brilliant article in the thread below inspired us here 👇

LIVE: BFM257 w/ @freddienew⚡️ “Your seed words are a new type of property” We discuss: 🔸UK law recognizing Bitcoin as property 🔸Why banning Bitcoin is impossible 🔸Private key control vs ownership 🔸Censorship resistance & Digital scarcity 🔸Opting out of government overreach

Mission: Compound Bitcoin Step 3: Put Bitcoin to work Long-term treasury growth comes from disciplined deployment. #Bitcoin #BHODL

Bitcoin is a sword and a shield. It's an offensive weapon and a defensive weapon, against government overreach. Today in the UK, as we hear the government plans to plough on with Digital ID despite massive opposition and a humiliating loss in the local elections, we need an unstoppable freedom money more than ever. Thanks to @bramk for having me back, full episode out tomorrow! Come try and ban Bitcoin - if you dare. Molon labe!

Bitcoin acknowledged as “property” under UK law sounds straightforward, until you realize this property can be just 12 words in your head 🤝 I talked with @freddienew who connected this new law to speech, and why attempts at "banning" Bitcoin get weird FAST. TOMORROW 12PM EST👇
