In his role as Chief of Staff, Kyu will oversee the formation and execution of the Company’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy, treasury yield optimization, institutional grade custodian network management, and cross-functional alignment as DDC rapidly scales its Bitcoin treasury.

DDC’s Recent Launch of Bitcoin Visionary Council and Bitcoin Influence Collective

Yat Siu, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands, has been appointed as the inaugural member of the Council. A pioneer in digital property rights and the open metaverse, Yat is globally recognized for building infrastructure at the intersection of finance, gaming, and Web3. His appointment brings deep vision and institutional credibility to the Council as it shapes DDC’s Bitcoin strategy for the future.

Complementing this institutional leadership, DDC also announced the Bitcoin Influence Collective (“BIC”) — a mission-driven advisory group of key thought leaders and seasoned Bitcoin investors focused on contributing to the company’s strategic directions and industry-specific innovations. Its four founding members include Adrian Morris, Lemar Ashhar, Magdalena Gronowska, and Tim Kotzman.

These new leadership and advisory additions reflect DDC’s commitment to executing one of the most forward-thinking and disciplined Bitcoin strategies among public companies globally.
