Ganesarajah, who officially joins the board on June 30, brings deep experience in digital asset management and institutional crypto strategy. A former senior executive at Morgan Stanley, Citi, and Credit Suisse, he has advised hedge funds overseeing more than $1 billion in AUM and currently leads The BE Company, a clean energy and AI infrastructure firm operating across the UK, US, and Canada.
Bluebird plans to appoint a new CEO by July 2025 to lead its hybrid strategy of combining physical gold mining with digital asset investments, a UK-first approach the company is branding as
“physical gold + digital gold.”
Ganesarajah stated,
“Bluebird has hard assets, public market access, and a clean slate. My goal is to help grow this company into a £1 billion enterprise in the upcoming cycle.”
Interim CEO Aidan Bishop welcomed the move, saying the funding marks a strategic turning point:
“The Bitcoin acquisition is just the beginning. We’re still early in this cycle, and we’re positioning Bluebird to capture significant upside as digital gold gains momentum.”
Meanwhile, in a sign of rising institutional interest in blockchain, JPMorgan Chase has filed a new service mark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), signalling its intent to deepen involvement in digital assets and blockchain infrastructure, further underscoring the accelerating convergence of traditional finance and crypto innovation.
