**Jaime Leverton, Chief Executive Officer of ReserveOne, was interviewed by The Bitcoin Economy Podcast. The excerpt of the transcript is provided below.**

 

*Host*: And I'm here with Jamie Leverton from ReserveOne, who's the CEO, former CEO of Hut 8. And we were just talking about Canada and how you moved Hut 8 over initially from Canada to the US. And we were talking crazy politics that are happening and where all the money was in Canada initially. And now it's shifted back to the US, even though we are in a government shutdown.

 

*Jaime Leverton*: Yes, unfortunately, we are still in a government shutdown, which means the SEC is broadly shut down. So files aren't moving, which is unfortunate for those of us that are in queue. But yeah, before we started rolling, we were just talking about I spent most of my career working in Canadian companies. I'm Canadian. Ethereum was founded in Canada. We really had a great ecosystem of innovators early in blockchain. We actually, our capital markets were quite innovative. We had miners going public Bitcoin miners in 2017 exchanges listing and in 18. We had a Bitcoin ETF trading about 18 months before the US did. So we saw a lot of liquidity come to Canada to get access to the digital asset ecosystem through equities because we were we were very much leading. And now we've seen an inversion of that. The US obviously leapfrogged a bit with respect to regulatory clarity, genius and having been done. And now with market structure, the Clarity Act on the table, the Trump government really, really pro crypto looking at the strategic Bitcoin reserve, the digital asset stockpile. And we've just seen capital formation really become dominant once again here in the United States. And liquidity very much dominant in for our ecosystem here in the US.

 

*Host*: And with the government shutdown in terms of the SEC opening things up, is it waiting for the full thing? And I think it's February or the end of January?

 

*Jaime Leverton*: No, we expect whenever the shutdown is officially over, hopefully this week. I think there's optimism that it's that it's sooner rather than later. And the SEC goes back to work in full force.

 

*Host:* ReserveOne, one of the most anticipated IPOs in the space. And can you just touch on it? Because it's unique. You guys have a different flavor on it. You guys come from capital markets. You guys are the suits that are coming into the place. Right. Which I think is a good thing. I see a lot of these coffee companies starting buying Bitcoin, their Bitcoin treasury company, and they're no longer around. Right.

 

*Jaime Leverton*: It sounds like code for how seasoned we are. Right. But no, all jokes aside, we are building something that's very unique and differentiated from anything else we see in this space. We're the only diversified digital asset treasury company. So rooted in Bitcoin, about 80 percent expected to be about 80 percent of our assets held in Bitcoin and then 20 percent in an alt sleeve inspired by what the Fed is going to maintain in the digital asset stockpile. So to begin with, it expected to be Ethereum, Solana, ADA, XRP. For us, we weight our allocation to those assets based on their free float market cap and their ability to generate yield because we will be active as well. So really trying to put the assets to work while we hold them on our balance sheet to generate returns in order to help cover some of the overhead of the company. And then we've also built in within the structure the option of allocating up to 10 percent of our AUM into high conviction venture opportunities within this space. So another way to give investors exposure to deals that they couldn't, wouldn't normally be able to access. So really excited to bring the structure to market. We did announce a few weeks ago that we had confidentially filed our S-4, so really excited to get the gears of government rolling again so that we can get through the rest of our process.

 

*Host*: And if it's just purely Bitcoin, people are always asking that question. Why not just buy Bitcoin? Right. And I think you guys have some of that answer. We have that optionality to go out and buy some of these faster moving vehicles as well as just thinking about some of the startups, those long tails.

 

*Host*: You can hit those home runs. Has that been like tough? Like when you're talking to investors, you know, seeing some of these treasury companies come down 80 percent, 90 percent. How has that narrative shifted and how are those conversations going today?

 

*Jaime Leverton*: I feel very blessed that we structured something that wasn't, you know, what was hot in the spring. We really built something in a way that that's differentiated. And we were trying to be thoughtful about how we built the company and built the structure because we want to be here three, five, ten years from now. It's very much a long term. And if you look at how we're building out the slate of directors that we expect to have on board, really looking for a mix of not just people that have been in the digital asset space, but really, you know, deep Wall Street, deep Washington. We've got private equity. So really just a completely different structure that I think people are really excited about.

 

*Host*: You guys consider yourself like a hedge fund? Or it's like active? You guys are able to buy and sell and take advantage of the price volatility, right?

 

*Jaime Leverton*: Yeah, much, much more active, obviously cautious in how we do it. We're not looking for a regular rebalancing. We don't want to trigger tax implications, but definitely looking to put the assets to work in a way that I think is going to be unique in this space.

 

*Host*: Yeah. And we're here at Canter, right? It's like this is made for you, right? It's crypto, energy and AI, right?

 

*Jaime Leverton*: So all the things I've done.

 

*Host*: Exactly. So what are you hoping to see? Like, I guess with the U.S., I know with AI, you need energy. Right. And with Bitcoin, what have you taken from Hut 8 that you can bring to ReserveOne and just overall at the conference? What are you looking forward to?

 

*Jaime Leverton*: Yeah, I mean, it's great. It's always great to see people in person. I think with Covid, we got into a bit of a Zoom culture. So being able to actually sit down face to face, shake hands, hug old friends. It's really nice. And the turnout here is incredible. The reception last night was absolutely packed. I felt like it was a wedding, just hugging, hugging, hugging. But it's been amazing. I think, look, I really benefited sitting at the helm of Hut 8 for as many years as I did and really understanding investor sentiment, what people are looking for. A lot of that went into how we thought about building the structure and really creating a company that allows investors to get access to the upgrade of the system. So really exposure to TradFi, meeting digital assets, doing that full institutionalization for the first time, which is really exciting to be a part of.
