Belgravia listed on OTCQB, adds Tim Kotzman and progress on multi-protocol mining pool.
Belgravia is very pleased to announce the engagement of Bitcoin thought-leader, Tim Kotzman as a strategic advisor to the Bitcoin Treasury team. Mr. Kotzman is the Creator and Host of The Bitcoin Treasuries Podcast and Conference Series, a prominent platform at the intersection of corporate finance and digital assets. Through in-depth interviews and curated content, the podcast has become a trusted resource for executives, institutional investors, and policymakers seeking to understand the evolving role of Bitcoin on corporate balance sheets. Additionally, Mr. Kotzman's most recent Bitcoin Treasuries Digital Conference was live-streamed to over 168,000 viewers globally.
Mehdi Azodi, CEO of Belgravia, stated: 'It's a big win given Tim's caliber, experience and following to join our company. This is a market shift for Belgravia and our shareholders. Tim is a well-respected leader in the industry, and we are delighted to have him join the Bitcoin Treasury team.'
Multi-Protocol Mining Pool — Stratum V1, Bitcoin Knots, DATUM
Belgravia is pleased to also announce that it is now, to our knowledge, the first public company to operate a mining pool that simultaneously supports:
Port 3333 — Stratum V1: Familiar, easy-to-use, pool-coordinated mining.
Port 3334 — Bitcoin Knots: Miner-controlled policies for greater autonomy.
Port 3335 — DATUM: Maximum decentralization with miner-built block templates and direct Coinbase Global, Inc. payouts.
Matt Aiyash, technical advisor to Belgravia, explains why it matters: 'For miners: choose your decentralization level from plug-and-play to full sovereignty. For Bitcoin: more miners constructing their own blocks means greater censorship resistance and resilience. For Belgravia shareholders: a share of fees from all protocols flows to the treasury, creating an operating active business that provides revenue as well as increased and compounding Bitcoin reserves of the Company.'
Listing to OTCQB
Belgravia is very pleased to announce that it's been successfully listed on the OTCQB Markets (' OTCQB ') effective August 12, 2025. Belgravia will trade on the OTCQB under the symbol 'BLGVF' and will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker symbol 'BLGV'. Listing was achieved following a successful application and approval process to verify that Belgravia meets OTCQB listing qualifications.
Mehdi Azodi noted: 'Listing on the OTCQB represents a key milestone for Belgravia, showcases our growth and increasing accessibility to U.S. investors. It also delivers increased marketability and greater trading platforms to current Belgravia shareholders."
The OTCQB, operated by OTC Markets Group, is recognized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a reputable public market for early stage and developing U.S. and international companies. The OTCQB offers investors essential data to evaluate, value, and trade securities. Belgravia's inclusion in the OTC Markets Group is expected to support the expansion and diversification of its U.S. shareholder base.

Morning Bid: Bitcoin joins the risk-on party
A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Ankur Banerjee You know markets are fully risk-on when cryptocurrencies are on a tear, with bitcoin joining global stocks to scale a record peak as the near certainty of U.S. interest rate cuts bolsters risk sentiment and weighs on the dollar. The world's best-known cryptocurrency, bitcoin, has a lot going for it: prospects of lower interest rates, a more favourable regulatory environment, and bullish inflows from institutional investors. Ether too has been on the charge, hovering near its highest since November 2021, becoming the token of choice for those looking for more active returns. In fact, ether is up 42% this year, outstripping the 32% gain for bitcoin. Stocks in Asia were taking a bit of a breather after a blistering rally this week. Japanese shares fell after hitting a record high, while tech-heavy Taiwan and South Korean shares eased after recent highs. Investors are wagering that the Federal Reserve will resume cutting interest rates from next month, with traders starting to even price in odds of a 50 basis points cut after comments from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. "If we'd seen those numbers in May, in June, I suspect we could have had rate cuts in June and July. So that tells me that there's a very good chance of a 50 basis-point rate cut," in September, Bessent said in an interview on Bloomberg Television. Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who has been regularly lambasted by U.S. President Donald Trump, is expected to speak at a central bank research conference in Wyoming next week and the focus will be on his tone on policy path. Bessent also said the Bank of Japan will likely be raising interest rates as it is behind the curve in dealing with the risk of inflation, leading to strong gains in the yen, which stayed around its strongest level in three weeks. Investor focus during European hours will be on a swathe of economic data that will offer a glimpse of the tariff uncertainties and the impact of the duties on the economy.
