What to know:

  • Blockstream’s getting cozy with Jersey-based Corbiere Capital, but they won’t tell us how much they’re paying. Spoiler alert: It’s probably a lot.
  • Rodrigo Rodriguez, the mastermind behind Corbiere, is now Blockstream’s new Chief Investment Officer. Not bad for a guy who probably just learned how to pronounce “Bitcoin.”
  • Komainu, a company in Blockstream’s portfolio, will do all the behind-the-scenes stuff, like custody and off-exchange collateral management. Because why do anything yourself when you can hire someone else?

Crypto investment firm Blockstream Capital Partners (BCP) is on a rampage, planning to snap up Corbiere Capital Management, a hedge fund that calls Jersey home. Apparently, Rodrigo Rodriguez, the founder, is quite the guy, so they’re handing him the keys to their asset management kingdom. He’s also bringing his 25+ years of experience-basically, he’s been around so long he probably knows where the bodies are buried in the stock market.

Details of the deal? They’re keeping it hush-hush. But hey, who doesn’t love a little mystery?

So, what’s the big idea here? BCP says this merger will add a shiny new layer of equity and event-driven strategies to their already dazzling collection of bitcoin-linked products. It’s like adding a fancy dessert to an already rich chocolate cake. Yummy!

With this shiny new partnership, BCP says institutional investors will now be able to diversify their portfolios. Because what’s a portfolio without a little sprinkle of bitcoin, right?

Rodriguez, now the Chief Investment Officer of Blockstream Capital Management, is ready to bring some serious equity market wizardry to the table. He’s worked everywhere from JPMorgan to BlueCrest, so don’t expect him to blink at a few million-dollar decisions.

As for Corbiere’s team? They’re diving deep into global equity markets and corporate actions, making those tactical trades like they’re playing chess while we’re all stuck on checkers.

And if you’re worried about how all this crypto stuff works behind the scenes, don’t fret! Komainu’s got it covered. They’ll be managing custody, trading connections, collateral, and probably any other big words that sound important. They’ve got you.

“Our mission is clear: dominate the global institutional bitcoin-referenced investment world,” said PeterPaul Pardi, managing partner of BCP. A bit dramatic, but sure, we get it.

Rodriguez himself chimed in: “With all these companies hoarding bitcoin on their balance sheets, it’s high time we figure out how that affects their stock prices. Spoiler: It’s going to be wild.”

And for the final cherry on top, BCP has ties to none other than Blockstream’s CEO Adam Back. They’re diving into everything from venture capital to real estate, all while making sure Bitcoin is at the center of it all. Maybe one day, they’ll figure out how to make the moon their next investment. 🌙💸
