Corporate Treasuries Set Their Sights on Bitcoin in the Middle East

Abu Dhabi, November 18, 2025 – On Monday 8 December 2025, from 10:00 to approximately 16:30 local time, the Bitcoin For Corporations Symposium will take place in the regional capital of Bitcoin, Abu Dhabi, as part of the Bitcoin MENA 2025 conference.

Why This Matters

With publicly traded firms now holding more than 688,000 BTC on their balance sheets — a historic high and rising quarter-over-quarter. Bitcoin Magazine
Corporate treasury strategy is evolving fast: businesses are increasingly treating Bitcoin not as speculative exposure, but as a strategic reserve asset. The MENA region, with its capital markets, sovereign-wealth structures and willingness to embrace innovation, is emerging as a competitive frontier for this shift.

Headline Speakers

Among the distinguished lineup of confirmed presenters:
Michael Saylor – Strategy (global leader in corporate Bitcoin holdings)
Mark Moss – Serial tech entrepreneur, VC investor and macro-Bitcoin educator George Mekhail – Managing Director, Bitcoin For Corporations
Theresa Morrison – BlockSpaces, Inc.
Javier Rodriguez‑Alarcon – XBTO

Also featured: Borja Martel Seward (Roxom), Stephan Livera (Stephan Livera Podcast), Phong Le (Strategy), Siddarth Bharwani (Jetking), Lennart Lopin (Byte Federal), Jeff Walton (Strive), Mason Foard (Méliuz), Andrew Webley (The Smarter Web Company).

“The Middle East is uniquely positioned to lead the next chapter of Bitcoin adoption. With its financial strength, appetite for innovation, and long-term investment mindset, the region understands what it means to preserve value across generations — and Bitcoin fits naturally into that story.”
George Mekhail, Managing Director, Bitcoin For Corporations

"We are proud and delighted to support Bitcoin for Corporations as a key part of Bitcoin MENA 2025. This initiative builds on the region’s growing adoption of Bitcoin and reinforces Abu Dhabi’s position as a hub for financial innovation.

As of the latest market close, BTC hovered around $78,250 after a February nadir of about $60,000, underscoring a slow, grinding recovery amid broader market dynamics. In parallel, tech markets—especially AI-focused equities—have captured the spotlight, with investors rotating capital away from crypto in search of different risk-reward profiles.
