Bitcoin Treasury Governance Institutional Frameworks & Risk Management
Governing the New Institutional Asset: Bitcoin on the Balance Sheet
Bryant Nielson is the Chief Founder of Bitcoin Treasury Governance, a pioneering advisory and frameworks organization dedicated to helping corporations, governments, and institutions responsibly integrate Bitcoin into their treasury operations. He is a leading voice on the governance, risk management, and strategic deployment of bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.
With a background in corporate finance, technology, and blockchain, Bryant has been instrumental in developing best-practice guidelines for multi-signature custody, proof-of-reserves, and board-level oversight of digital asset holdings. His work addresses the critical need for standardized governance structures — from SAB 121 compliance and FASB fair value accounting to insurance and succession planning — that provide the confidence required for institutional and sovereign adoption. At Blockchain Week - UNGA Edition, he shares practical frameworks for building robust Bitcoin treasury governance that protects shareholders, satisfies regulators, and unlocks long-term value.
