Connecting Excellence CEO on Bitcoin purchase following strong January for Spencer Riley

from Proactive - Interviews for investors · host Proactive Investors

Connecting Excellence Group Plc (AQSE:XCE) CEO Scott Ellam talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s ongoing strategy of accumulating Bitcoin, underpinned by cash flow generated by its recruitment arm, Spencer Riley. Ellam explained that this approach allows the company to steadily increase its Bitcoin holdings, even during periods of price volatility, without relying on external capital markets. The AQSE-quoted firm bought 1.065 Bitcoin for £64,000, using surplus operational cashflow generated during January from Spencer Riley, which delivered January revenues of £253,424 and generated incremental cashflow for the group. “Our business model is largely uncorrelated to the Bitcoin market,” Ellam said, adding that revenue is generated by placing senior-level talent in industries like AI and logistics. This uncorrelated cash flow allows the company to acquire Bitcoin consistently, regardless of market cycles. He also discussed how Connecting Excellence structures its hiring and compensation strategy to limit upfront costs by offering performance-based share options tied to revenue growth and Bitcoin per share metrics. Ellam reaffirmed his confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value, stating, “I have absolute conviction that Bitcoin will always be worth more in the future than it has been worth in the past.” Visit Proactive’s YouTube channel for more interviews and updates.
