As such, Cartwright Pension Trusts alongside their Charitable Trusts, Corporate Treasury and Employee Benefits business lines, is excited to announce its first Bitcoin Review – a new, plain-English publication designed to demystify Bitcoin and highlight its growing relevance to UK pension schemes.
As the conversation around Bitcoin evolves, so too must the understanding of its potential role in long-term financial strategy. This annual review aims to serve as a clear and practical reference tool for trustees, advisors, press, and policymakers navigating an increasingly noisy, and sometimes confusing, digital asset landscape –a helpful tool for anyone looking to better understand Bitcoin from a UK pensions perspective.
Cartwright hopes this annual review will provide readers with an unbiased, fact-based understanding of bitcoin to enable them to look through the noise of the price volatility caused by human emotion and see the opportunity in the asset.
This first edition outlines two reasons this conversation can’t wait:
1. Bitcoin’s Institutional Moment – With in-built scarcity and increasing clarity around regulation, Bitcoin is entering a new era of institutional interest. Already adopted by the first ever defined benefit (DB) scheme in the UK early this year – more pension funds, charities and companies are now looking at Bitcoin as a long-term, strategic asset. Even employers are looking at bitcoin as part of a salary and/or bonus solution for their workforce
2. A Wake-Up Call for the UK Economy – Global economies are at a critical juncture – there is inflation, uncertainly and change – and there will be ongoing impact on the UK economy. Bitcoin could provide the solution
