Bitcoin ETNs are finally “allowed” again in the UK, but advisers are not exactly throwing confetti. In this episode, Dan sits down with James Priday to unpack what’s really slowing adoption, and why the headline change does not automatically translate into real-world advice activity.

You’ll hear why crypto ETNs are still treated as restricted mass market investments, what that means in practice (including appropriateness tests and criteria like high net worth or sophisticated investors), and why platforms and advice firms need extra operational and compliance controls before they get comfortable.

James also breaks down the ETN vs ETF confusion and why that terminology alone can create perceived risk for advisers and clients.

Then it gets properly messy when Dan raises the ISA situation, including the discussion around HMRC confirming that you’re allowed Bitcoin ETNs within an ISA.

This one is not to be missed.

In this episode, Dan sits down with Scott Ellam, CEO and founder of XCE, to explore how a traditional executive recruitment firm became one of the first publicly listed companies built around a Bitcoin treasury strategy.

For financial advisers, this conversation offers a clear, real-world example of how Bitcoin can function inside a regulated business, how volatility can be managed, and why ignoring the asset may soon risk losing clients, assets and talent.

Scott walks through his journey from discovering Bitcoin in 2016 to building a four-year corporate treasury that held firm through an 80% drawdown. He explains why the volatility never shook his conviction, how denominating the balance sheet in Bitcoin became a long-term strategic choice, and what ultimately led to the IPO.

The discussion also covers how XCE handles global payments across the US, Europe and the Middle East, the practical advantages of using Bitcoin and stablecoins, and why network effects inside traditional industries may accelerate corporate adoption sooner than expected. Scott outlines how talent attraction, share-option structures and a Bitcoin-experienced board support the firm’s growth model.

For advisers seeking to understand the operational side of Bitcoin — rather than abstract theory — this episode provides a grounded, accessible view of how one company applied it through volatile markets and into a public listing.

In this episode, Andrew Webley — Founder and CEO of The Smarter Web Company — discusses how a long-established UK business chose to list on the Aquis Stock Exchange while holding Bitcoin as a core part of its treasury.

He talks through the reasoning behind the listing, the regulatory limits that define what a UK company can do with Bitcoin, and the practical framework his team uses to measure and manage their position.

The conversation explores concepts such as Bitcoin-per-share, MNAV, liquidity, and dilution — and why these metrics can reshape how a public company’s balance sheet and growth strategy are interpreted.

Andrew also reflects on the common assumptions people make about Bitcoin, the areas where understanding tends to fall short, and what traditional treasury management may overlook when compared to a Bitcoin-based approach.

This episode offers a clear, thought-provoking look at how one listed company is navigating an emerging financial structure — and why its choices may prompt a re-examination of risk, compounding, and long-term planning.

In this episode, Dan and Sam Roberts dive into one of the most important conversations in UK finance right now — the dynamic between rising taxes, falling productivity, and what happens when a government edges itself into a corner.

From the Laffer Curve to the realities of government spending, they examine why markets react the way they do, why wealth moves the way it does, and why an increasing number of individuals, companies, and even charities are preparing for a world where the pound may not hold its value in the way it used to.

They explore:

– The unintended consequences of tax rises

– Why mobility of capital matters more than ever

– What happens when governments hit the limits of money printing

– How businesses can build resilience in a devaluing currency environment

– The rapid evolution of Bitcoin treasury companies, and why 2025 has been a turning point

It’s a grounded, insightful conversation for advisers trying to make sense of the economic direction of travel. No sensationalism — simply clear thinking on complex issues, and a look at the strategies that may matter most in the years ahead.

In this episode of The Bitcoin IFA, we sit down with Dominic McLoughney, Chartered Financial Planner at Becketts, to explore how financial advisers can navigate the fast-evolving world of Bitcoin within the framework of regulated advice.

Dom shares his journey from initial scepticism to becoming one of his firm’s leading voices on digital assets. Together, we discuss the education gap, the regulatory grey areas, and why the FCA’s recent moves may reshape how advisers talk about — and eventually allocate to — Bitcoin.

It’s a candid, nuanced conversation about trust, bias, risk, and opportunity in the advisory profession — and what it really takes to guide clients responsibly in a new asset class.

In this episode of The Bitcoin IFA Podcast, Dan speaks with Duncan Moir, President of 21Shares and former Head of Digital Assets at Aberdeen, about the FCA’s decision to lift its ban on crypto ETNs.

They explore what this landmark change means for UK advisers and investors, how regulated access to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETNs will evolve, and why 21Shares believes this marks a pivotal moment for crypto’s place in traditional portfolios.

In this second episode of The Bitcoin IFA Podcast, host Dan sits down again with Sam Roberts, Director of Investments at Cartwright Pension Trusts — and one of the first in the UK to place Bitcoin within a pension fund.

Together, they explore why Bitcoin continues to rise in value when measured in fiat, and what that reveals about money, power, and freedom.

From gold and proof-of-work to the Cantillon Effect and central bank control, this conversation unpacks why the hardest money ever invented may also be the fairest.

They discuss:

• Why fiat currencies always lose purchasing power
• How inflation benefits the few and hurts the many
• The centuries-old lessons of gold, salt, and “worthless beads”
• The modern-day Cantillon Effect and asset inflation
• The rise of digital ID and CBDCs — and why they’re a warning
• Why Bitcoin represents both a hedge and an act of self-sovereignty

🎧 A must-listen for anyone questioning the monetary system, or wondering why “fixed supply” might be the most powerful idea of our time.

In this episode of The Bitcoin IFA, Dan is joined by Sam Roberts, Director of Investments at Cartwright, where he helps pension schemes and institutions manage their long-term investments.

The conversation begins with the limits of financial models and why they often break down when real-world behaviour takes over. From there, Sam and Dan dive into how an ever-debasing currency reshapes incentives, reduces quality, and distorts markets. They explore Austrian versus Keynesian views of the economy, before turning to why Bitcoin may offer a fundamentally better alternative than gold.

Most compelling of all, Sam shares how these ideas moved from theory into practice — with a pension scheme making its first allocation to Bitcoin under his guidance. It’s a story that highlights both the risks and the asymmetric opportunities now confronting institutional investors.

This episode bridges the world of pensions and investments with the disruptive force of Bitcoin — offering professional insight, contrarian thinking, and a rare inside look at what institutional adoption really looks like.
