Editorial Policy

Purpose

This policy governs all editorial and promotional content produced or distributed by Bitcoin For Corporations (BFC), including articles, videos, social media, newsletters, research, event programming, and thought leadership.

Its purpose is to ensure every piece of content advances the adoption of Bitcoin throughout the business world while protecting BFC’s neutrality, credibility, editorial independence, and long-term integrity.

BFC exists to educate, connect, and support executives, operators, investors, and infrastructure providers using Bitcoin in business.

Editorial Principles

Mission-Driven Content Only

Every piece of BFC content must serve a clear strategic purpose: helping business leaders better understand, adopt, build on, operate with, or allocate capital to Bitcoin.

Our editorial focus includes, but is not limited to:

• Bitcoin on corporate balance sheets

• Bitcoin infrastructure and enterprise services

• Bitcoin payments and Lightning adoption

• Institutional investing and capital allocation

• Accounting, governance, custody, compliance, and regulation

• Capital markets innovation

• Operational best practices

• Executive education

Content that does not meaningfully advance Bitcoin adoption in business falls outside our editorial scope.

Editorial Coverage Categories

BFC organizes its editorial coverage around four primary business audiences.

Corporate Adopters

Companies integrating Bitcoin onto their balance sheets as a strategic reserve asset or treasury allocation.

Examples include public companies, private businesses, family-owned companies, and operating businesses adopting Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Infrastructure

Businesses building products, services, and technology directly on Bitcoin.

Examples include custody providers, mining companies, exchanges, security providers, Lightning infrastructure, payment processors, and enterprise software providers.

Payment Networks

Businesses using Bitcoin and the Lightning Network to facilitate commercial payments, settlement, payroll, remittances, or cross-border commerce.

Institutional Allocators

Asset managers, RIAs, pension funds, family offices, institutional investors, research firms, and capital markets participants enabling institutional Bitcoin exposure.

No Promotion of Equities, IPOs, or Investment Products

BFC does not promote securities, fundraising campaigns, or investment products.

We do not publish content designed to market:

• Public equities

• IPOs

• Secondary offerings

• PIPE transactions

• Token offerings

• Capital raises

• Investment funds

• Speculative trading opportunities

BFC content must never be interpreted as investment advice, security promotion, or financial marketing.

Editorial Relevance

Coverage must contribute meaningfully to at least one of the following areas:

• Bitcoin adoption by businesses

• Bitcoin on balance sheets

• Enterprise Bitcoin infrastructure

• Commercial payment adoption

• Lightning Network implementation

• Institutional custody and security

• Corporate governance

• Accounting and financial reporting

• Regulatory developments

• Risk management

• Capital markets innovation

• Institutional allocation

• Research and education

• Open-source development supporting business adoption

General business announcements such as product launches, partnerships, executive hires, or acquisitions are only covered when they materially advance Bitcoin adoption or represent meaningful execution within the Bitcoin business ecosystem.

Performance-Based Visibility

BFC does not reward participation.

We reward execution.

Editorial visibility is earned through meaningful progress that advances Bitcoin adoption in business.

Examples include:

• Material Bitcoin adoption

• Balance sheet implementation

• Institutional product launches

• Custody implementation

• Lightning deployment

• Operational milestones

• Governance improvements

• Accounting leadership

• Public disclosures

• Infrastructure growth

• Research contributions

• Educational initiatives

• Capital markets innovation

• Open-source contributions

• Measurable operational execution

Not every company measures success the same way.

Our goal is to recognize meaningful execution across every sector of the Bitcoin economy rather than applying a single metric to every business.

Careful Treatment of Fundraising, Listings, and Product Announcements

BFC does not align editorial coverage with fundraising events or securities offerings.

When member companies:

• Raise capital

• Go public

• Launch investment products

• Complete acquisitions

• Announce financing transactions

Coverage is evaluated based on its strategic relevance to Bitcoin adoption—not its investment potential.

When appropriate, coverage focuses on:

• Business strategy

• Operational execution

• Balance sheet impact

• Infrastructure expansion

• Institutional adoption

• Capital formation supporting Bitcoin initiatives

BFC does not publish content that could reasonably be interpreted as marketing securities or encouraging investment participation.

Sharing Public Information with BFC

To preserve editorial credibility and regulatory integrity, member companies should only submit finalized, public-facing information when requesting editorial coverage.

This ensures:

Regulatory Confidence

BFC avoids handling or distributing material non-public information (MNPI), protecting both member companies and the integrity of our platform.

Editorial Integrity

Coverage is most valuable when built around confirmed developments rather than speculation or preliminary announcements.

Timely Amplification

Once information is public, BFC can rapidly evaluate opportunities for coverage across articles, newsletters, podcasts, social media, research, and events.

Members are encouraged to notify BFC immediately following public announcements involving significant Bitcoin-related developments, including:

• SEC filings

• Press releases

• Bitcoin purchases

• Operational milestones

• Product launches

• Institutional partnerships

• Research publications

• Capital markets activity

Editorial Independence

BFC retains complete editorial discretion over:

• What is covered

• How it is covered

• When it is covered

• The format of coverage

• The depth of coverage

Member submissions, announcements, and requests are welcomed but do not guarantee publication.

Editorial independence is fundamental to BFC’s credibility and long-term value.

Tone and Style

Every piece of BFC content should reflect our position as the executive network for Bitcoin strategy.

Our editorial voice is:

• Strategic

• Objective

• Educational

• Data-informed

• Business-focused

• Institutionally credible

• Forward-looking

• Professional

We avoid:

• Sensationalism

• Promotional language

• Speculation

• Tribalism

• Investment hype

• Clickbait

Examples of Acceptable Content

BFC publishes and amplifies content that:

• Advances Bitcoin adoption across business

• Demonstrates successful Bitcoin implementation

• Explains governance, accounting, custody, legal, or operational best practices

• Highlights enterprise Bitcoin infrastructure

• Covers Lightning Network adoption for commercial use

• Explores capital markets innovation involving Bitcoin

• Benchmarks business adoption using meaningful operational metrics

• Profiles organizations advancing Bitcoin in new industries or geographies

• Shares original research

• Educates executives, boards, finance leaders, and institutional investors

• Highlights participation in BFC research, working groups, events, and educational initiatives

• Demonstrates measurable execution that benefits the broader Bitcoin business ecosystem

Editorial Bottom Line

If a story does not help businesses understand, adopt, build on, operate with, or allocate capital to Bitcoin, it does not fit our editorial mission.

Every editorial decision begins with one question:

Does this help business leaders better understand Bitcoin’s role in business and the global economy?

If the answer is yes, we will evaluate how it contributes to our mission.

If the answer is no, we will respectfully decline coverage or suggest alternative ways to support the member.

Editorial Discretion Remains Final

Even when a topic aligns with the principles outlined above, BFC retains full editorial discretion over whether, when, and how it is covered.

This allows us to:

• Maintain editorial quality

• Balance competing announcements

• Manage narrative timing

• Protect member trust

• Preserve long-term credibility

• Ensure alignment with BFC’s strategic priorities

Visibility is earned through meaningful execution, but publication is never automatic.

Final editorial decisions are made in service of BFC’s mission, institutional credibility, and the long-term growth of Bitcoin adoption across the business world.
