Pierre Rochard Launches $1 Trillion Bitcoin Bond Venture, Aiming to Revolutionize Credit Markets by 2046
  • On April 7, 2025, Pierre Rochard announced the launch of The Bitcoin Bond Company, aiming to acquire $1 trillion in Bitcoin on behalf of clients by 2046.

  • The Bitcoin Bond Company seeks to establish long-term relationships between credit allocators and risk-takers, providing transparent risk management through structured finance products.

  • Rochard, who previously served as VP of research at Riot Platforms, will lead this new venture focused on Bitcoin-backed structured finance.

  • He believes Bitcoin has evolved from a fringe experiment to a core monetary technology, urging credit markets to adapt to this shift.

  • Rochard emphasized Bitcoin's potential as a strategic collateral asset in capital markets, predicting its recognition in various financial contexts.

  • He advocates for 'bankruptcy-remote, bitcoin-only structures' to attract traditional credit investors, contrasting this with Michael Saylor's long-only strategy.

  • Rochard highlighted the success of Bitcoin ETFs as a clear indication of institutional interest in Bitcoin-related financial products.

  • At Consensus 2025 in Toronto, he aims to promote Bitcoin education, particularly targeting institutional investors looking to diversify their portfolios.

  • He stresses the importance of education in helping investors navigate the challenges of considering Bitcoin as a fixed-income asset class.

  • Rochard asserts that higher Federal Reserve rates tend to pull capital out of Bitcoin, which can slow its adoption.

  • He believes the SEC will regulate Bitcoin products in a balanced manner, which will enhance comfort for financial institutions engaging with Bitcoin.

  • Rochard's vision for a Bitcoin-backed securitization company was influenced by his background in asset-backed finance and was solidified by regulatory changes following Donald Trump's election.
