Corporations have a powerful role in scaling Bitcoin beyond grassroots efforts. Bitcoin is often seen as a movement of individuals and communities, but enterprises can also integrate it into payments, supply chains, and daily operations. Jeremy will share how Paystand bridges enterprise adoption with community impact, showing how corporations can align efficiency with inclusion to help Bitcoin reach mass adoption.
Bitcoin adoption has often been championed by individuals, grassroots movements, and local communities. But for Bitcoin to reach true scale, corporations also need to step in. Enterprises hold the ability to integrate Bitcoin into payments, supply chains, and everyday operations—bridging the gap between global commerce and financial inclusion.
In this session, Jeremy Almond will share how Paystand is pioneering enterprise adoption while creating real-world community impact. He’ll explore how corporations can align efficiency with inclusion, demonstrating that Bitcoin is not only a tool for innovation but also a pathway to mass adoption that benefits both business and society.

Through Paystand.org, Jeremy is also advancing Bitcoin in the real world, funding and powering 22 NGOs behind today’s circular economy movement, building a world where economic freedom is the default, not the exception.
