On April 7, Pierre Rochard announced the launch of a new company focused on BTC-backed structured financing called The Bitcoin Bond Company, aiming to acquire $1 trillion worth of BTC on behalf of its clients by 2046.
Rochard, formerly Vice President of Research at Riot Platforms, will serve as CEO of this BTC-focused venture.
The company plans to connect institutional capital with BTC through a regulated structured product framework and third-party custody.
BTC Products Designed for Institutional Needs
According to Rochard, the target clients are credit allocators seeking protection from volatility and equity risk-takers looking for excess returns from BTC. Depending on market conditions, its long-term goal includes acquiring $1 trillion worth of BTC for clients over the next 21 years.
Explaining the timing and motivation behind the company's formation to CryptoSlate, he added that since first learning about BTC, he had been contemplating the idea of creating a securitization firm backed by BTC—an idea aligned with his background in asset-backed finance.
Rochard said this concept became more viable after Donald Trump’s election as president, signaling a shift in regulatory posture.
He added: "Looking ahead, the SEC will no longer be politically influenced but remain neutral, meaning BTC-backed financial products will face balanced regulation designed to protect the integrity of U.S. capital markets. This will give mature financial institutions the confidence they need to constructively participate in the BTC market."
Rochard emphasized that his vision is to expand BTC’s utility by packaging BTC assets into structured financial instruments that meet institutional requirements for transparency, regulation, and risk management.
This approach aligns with the broader trend of building institutional-grade products based on crypto-native assets, including exchange-traded products (ETPs) and asset-backed notes.
The announcement stated: "The Bitcoin Bond Company's mission is to build long-term partnerships between credit allocators and risk takers. By providing transparent, regulated, and efficient risk transfer through BTC-backed structured financing, we can unlock value for global strategic reserve assets within capital markets."
He also noted that the recent success of BTC ETFs validates market demand, describing these funds’ metrics as making them “the most successful product launch in the history of the financial industry.”
Rochard believes institutional investors are typically constrained by volatility, while risk-seeking participants look for leverage opportunities. He sees The Bitcoin Bond Company’s role as connecting these two types of investors through structured instruments, bridging their differences.
"The Bitcoin Bond Company's mission is to connect these two groups through responsible, BTC-backed products, creating long-term value for both sides."
Utility and Satoshi’s Vision
Rochard views the company’s founding as part of a broader effort to realize BTC’s original utility as decentralized electronic cash.
He said the BTC market divides participants into four categories: deniers, cautious investors wary of price volatility, speculators trying to earn excess returns from BTC, and fully onboarded, self-sovereign adopters.
He stressed that decentralization remains BTC’s core utility, giving users sovereign control over their capital. Rochard concluded that capital markets will increasingly recognize BTC as a strategic collateral asset.
He said: "It is inevitable that capital markets will view BTC as a unique tool for collateral diversification. In various contexts—sovereign debt issuance, corporate convertible bonds, and asset-backed securities—investors with different objectives and risk tolerances will emerge. Market growth will drive demand for BTC as an underlying asset and accelerate the adoption flywheel effect."
