Copper, a leader in digital asset custody, collateral management, and prime services, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Everstake, a leading global non-custodial staking and blockchain solutions provider, to offer institutional investors secure, enterprise-grade staking services with top-tier asset protection.

For institutional token holders, choosing reliable staking validators and maintaining network decentralization are critical concerns—78.4% of institutional investors cite centralization risk as a key issue. Through this partnership, Copper and Everstake address these challenges by combining Everstake’s decentralized infrastructure and 99% uptime with Copper’s industry-leading security and settlement capabilities.

Institutional clients can now securely stake ETH, SOL, ADA, NEAR, and ATOM directly on the Copper platform. Integrating Everstake’s extensive staking network with Copper’s industry-leading MPC technology and settlement infrastructure ensures seamless access to staking rewards* while enhancing security and network decentralization for PoS (Proof-of-Stake) ecosystems.

“We are excited to join forces with Everstake to continue to provide clients with unparalleled security and efficiency by facilitating staking services,” said Ben Lorente, Strategic Alliances Director at Copper. “This partnership underscores our commitment to fostering a secure and robust digital asset environment.”

“We’re proud to partner with Copper to provide institutional investors with secure and reliable staking services,” said Bohdan Opryshko, co-founder and COO of Everstake. “At Everstake, we understand the unique needs of institutional clients, and our extensive expertise in serving them—combined with Copper’s exceptional asset custody solutions—allows us to create a secure, regulatory compliant, and user-friendly staking environment. Together, we’re setting a new standard for innovation and adding real value for our clients.”

*Staking is not available in the United Kingdom through Copper.

The University of Austin (UATX) Partners with the Texas Bitcoin Foundation, Bitcoin Policy Institute, Unchained, and Strive to Host the Satoshi Papers Symposium 

Press Release 

The University of Austin (UATX) has partnered with the Texas Bitcoin Foundation (TBF), Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI), Unchained, and Strive Asset Management to host the Satoshi Papers Symposium, an academic conference celebrating the launch of the TBF’s first book, The Satoshi Papers: Reflections on Political Economy after Bitcoin. 

The Satoshi Papers, published by BPI and edited by TBF executive director and BPI fellow Natalie Smolenski, draws inspiration from the eighteenth-century American debate between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists about the role of government in preserving the liberties of individuals and communities. The book features an open exchange of ideas among scholars about the relationship between money and state in a post-Bitcoin world. 

“The Satoshi Papers brings together economists, historians, anthropologists, and other social scientists to think together about how a decentralized digital protocol can inspire the re-formation of existing political and economic institutions,” said Natalie Smolenski, founder and executive director of the Texas Bitcoin Foundation. 

Bitcoin Policy Institute, a DC-based policy think tank, launches its book publishing imprint with The Satoshi Papers. 

“Launching a publishing imprint represents a natural next step for BPI as we continue to advance the intellectual foundations of Bitcoin policy. And The Satoshi Papers is the perfect inaugural publication — it represents exactly the kind of rigorous academic discourse needed to bridge the gap between Bitcoin innovation and policy development,” said Grant McCarty, co-founder of BPI. 

The Satoshi Papers Symposium, which will be hosted on UATX campus on April 16, 2025, features presentations by authors of The Satoshi Papers who are also BPI fellows, including Avik Roy, Josh Hendrickson, Craig Warmke, and Natalie Smolenski. Faculty from the University of Austin will discuss the arguments the authors present in the book. 

“At the University of Austin, we are committed to the fearless pursuit of truth and rigorous debate about the ideas shaping our world,” said Chad Thevenot, SVP of Advancements and Communication at the University of Austin. “The Satoshi Papers Symposium is a perfect example of that commitment, bringing together scholars and students to explore the economic and political implications of Bitcoin. We are honored that UATX will be a convening platform for this critical conversation.” 

The Symposium uniquely encourages student participation. Thanks to a generous donation from Strive Asset Management, a financial services firm cofounded by Vivek Ramaswamy, all students in the UATX inaugural class will receive copies of The Satoshi Papers and invitations to join the discussion during the Symposium. 

Matt Cole, CEO of Strive, said, “Strive believes Bitcoin should be a core allocation in the portfolios of everyday Americans. In light of the inevitable volatility characterizing the early life of a rapidly monetizing new asset, deep education is essential for investors to build and maintain conviction in that allocation. The Satoshi Papers is a vital contribution to Bitcoin education, and we’re honored to partner in hosting the Symposium.” 

The Symposium is generously supported by Unchained, an Austin-native financial services firm for bitcoin. 

Joe Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Unchained and director of the Texas Bitcoin Foundation, said, “Bitcoin redefines the relationship between money and state, and education is key to that shift. The Satoshi Papers challenges us to think critically about financial sovereignty—something we make real at Unchained by ensuring individuals control their own bitcoin. We’re proud to support this symposium and the broader effort to secure financial freedom for generations to come.” 

Unchained will host a public reception, book sale and signing of The Satoshi Papers at the Bitcoin Commons on the evening of April 16th.
