Our Leadership
From Crypto Valley to Abu Dhabi
The roots of BTCS ME trace back to Zug, Switzerland, where Bitcoin Suisse AG was founded in August 2013. At a time when the crypto industry was in its earliest stages, the company made a deliberate choice: to operate as a registered Swiss entity with a physical address, named leadership, and a commitment to regulatory accountability — even before formal rules existed for the sector. That foundation shaped over a decade of growth. Bitcoin Suisse AG participated in some of the largest protocol launches in crypto history, helped establish Zug as the global center for blockchain innovation known as Crypto Valley, and built institutional-grade infrastructure for trading, custody, and staking that now serves clients across multiple jurisdictions.
The establishment of BTCS ME in ADGM represents the next chapter in that trajectory, extending the group's depth of expertise and operational discipline to Professional Clients within one of the most advanced and well-regulated jurisdictions for virtual assets in the world.
