Bitcoin for Corporations Day 1 Highlights​

Bitcoin for Corporations Day 1 made headlines when MicroStrategy announced its new enterprise platform for building decentralized identity applications on the Bitcoin blockchain.

MicroStrategy EVP of Engineer Cezary Raczko explained: "Custodial or non-custodial, the obvious thing is every Bitcoin wallet out there should incorporate the capability of creating a Bitcoin-based digital identity. Many messaging platforms suffer from the same challenges that email does. When you get a text message, how do you know the person who sent you the text message… We would want to include an orange check for these different messaging platforms."
