2025 “was one of the most consequential years Bitcoin has ever had. Regulatory clarity improved. The technical stack continued to harden. User adoption continues to expand with more on-ramps and layer 2 solutions coming online. While most of the market fixated on charts, the foundation kept getting stronger. “Institutional capital is no longer circling, it is here. Nation states are no longer whispering, they are experimenting in public. Bitcoin has continued to mature, and it increasingly looks less like a speculative asset and more like global sound money. Heading into 2026, the question is not if Bitcoin works, it’s whether the average person is ready for the world that is forming around it.” We are kicking off this year with some comments & predictions from our CEO, David Parkinson, and other industry leaders being featured by Bitcoin News. We look at the economy at large, the threats facing individuals and businesses more broadly in the context of AI and other factors, and the adoption of Bitcoin as a new global collateral & payments layer.

🔔 Investor Opportunity 🔔 Musqet is growing. From £0 processing volume in Q2 2024 to approaching £100m today and a pathway to 2,500 customers across the UK and Europe - £300m volume by Q1 '26 then onto £1 billion by EOY '26 - our progress is on track. Revenues are increasing. We have partnerships with Gibraltar Bank, Verifone, Vodafone and Google chromeOS which stand us in great stead to lead the adoption and use of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange globally as an integrated part of full merchant payment services. Our next generation payments & ePOS platform delivers significant value to customers as well as reduced costs in the majority of cases. With Bitcoin at the heart of our ecosystem we will not just accelerate merchant payment adoption, but also bring customer rewards, payroll and financing solutions to Bitcoin for businesses. We are seeking investor support to give us liftoff. Having achieved everything that we have since July 2023 with just £2.3m, the final £3.1m remaining of our total £5m raise will provide the runway we need to deliver the £1 billion volume in 2026, and grow to £16m EBIT by 2029. If you are an angel, a fund or any other investment vehicle, please reach out via DM or directly at david@musqet.tech. We have capacity for a number of additional £50k-£100k investments as well as larger funding allocations to complete the round. Bitcoin adoption and freedom money is the objective we set out to bring to the world and we need your support to achieve this. ~ David CEO, Musqet
