Strengthening BCP’s Institutional Strategy

Bringing Corbiere into the BCP platform reinforces BCP’s strategy of bridging traditional finance with Bitcoin-native capabilities. Corbiere’s expertise in equity and event-driven markets complements BCP’s existing investment framework and supports the development of diversified, institutional-grade strategies alongside Bitcoin-referenced products.

He founded Corbiere Capital Management in 2023, building a team with deep experience in global equity markets, corporate actions, and tactical trading opportunities.

Leveraging BCP’s existing investment in Komainu

Komainu will provide custody and exchange connectivity to the partnership through Komainu Connect, its class-leading off-exchange collateral management and settlement platform, and will also provide corporate and custodial support.

A Strategic Fit for BCP’s Expanding Investment Platform

Integrating Corbiere provides BCP with:

· Event-driven and equity-focused capabilities that complement Bitcoin-referenced strategies.
· A multi-strategy approach that allows for more balanced and resilient portfolio construction.
· Experienced talent and disciplined risk management, aligned with BCP’s commitment to governance, operational rigor, and fiduciary excellence.

PeterPaul Pardi, Managing Partner of Blockstream Capital Partners, said: “Core to our mission of building the leading global institutional Bitcoin-referenced investment platform is the acquisition of experienced investment teams with specific complementary expertise in alpha-focused investment strategies. Rod and the Corbiere team joining us is testament to the strength of the platform we are building.”

Rodrigo Rodriguez, Chief Investment Officer of Blockstream Capital Management, said: “Joining BCP as a cornerstone of its asset management offering is a unique opportunity and we are excited to work together with the aim of generating superior risk adjusted returns for investors. The increase in activity around Bitcoin treasury companies, and listed companies holding Bitcoin as an asset on their balance sheet, makes it critical to understand how that translates into equity pricing and volatility.”
