Connecting Excellence CEO on unique BTC-denominated convertible bond, Bitcoin outlook

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 strategic expansion into Bitcoin-backed financial instruments and its long-term treasury ambitions. In the interview, Ellam introduced the XCE BTC Bond, which he described as the first of its kind, highlighting its “true bitcoin denomination” feature and a refix mechanism designed to protect both shareholders and bondholders during market fluctuations. He explained that the bond’s conversion price mirrors Bitcoin’s price, allowing for value preservation and flexibility even during market volatility. “We've designed them to be beneficial for the bondholders, the shareholders and the business going forward,” Ellam said. Ellam also discussed the group’s treasury strategy, confirming that Connecting Excellence now holds 41.36 Bitcoin on its balance sheet, with a long-term goal of acquiring 1,000. The company intends to purchase Bitcoin with all available cash and on an ongoing basis, regardless of short-term price movements. Ellam cited a long-term compound annual growth expectation of 30% over the next decade. He referenced broader institutional momentum, including BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF and remarks from its CEO Larry Fink about potential nation-state adoption. Ellam suggested that such developments would significantly impact price trajectory and global adoption trends.
