Acropolis, a leading bitcoin-native treasury platform, is proud to announce the appointments of Owen Grove as Chief Operating Officer and Matthew Ball as Head of Product. These strategic hires strengthen Acropolis’ mission to help businesses of all sizes securely adopt and manage bitcoin as a treasury asset amid economic uncertainty and inflation pressures.
companies face tighter margins and volatile markets, often needing to do more with less. Incorporating bitcoin into corporate treasuries can be complex: custody solutions are fragile, onboarding can be slow, and enterprise-grade controls are often missing. Acropolis addresses these challenges with its Multi-Institution Custody (MIC)—eliminating single counterparty risk while providing businesses robust, enterprise-grade control. On top of this foundation, companies can leverage advanced tools like overcollateralized loans for liquidity and stablecoins for cross-border payments.
