The initiative is designed to explain how institutions can and should embrace it, and raise awareness around areas of the network that need support. According to the information on its website, The ₿ Word will launch on July 21, 2021, offering a live experience and a library of content to the investor community, enabling a more informed discussion about the role Bitcoin can serve for institutions across the globe.
As part of its inaugural launch, The ₿ Word is hosting a one-day summit designed to “destigmatize” Bitcoin narratives for business leaders.
