Head of Asia
Nakamoto
As Head of Asia, Kevin will lead Nakamoto’s Bitcoin treasury strategy across one of the world’s most important and dynamic regions. Kevin is responsible cultivating key relationships with governments, regulators, exchanges, and public companies, while also strengthening ties with institutional investors, sovereign funds, and family offices.
Kevin first entered the Bitcoin space in 2014 and has spent the past decade at the forefront of mining and infrastructure deployment. Previously, he served as SVP of Business Development and Mining Strategies at Foundry Digital. At Foundry, Kevin oversaw the deployment of one of the largest North American fleets and helped build the world’s largest Bitcoin mining pool for four consecutive years.

In 2016, he co-founded Project Spokane, a Bitcoin mining datacenter that he helped establish as the largest mining facility in North America at the time.
