At the Bitcoin 2025 conference, Blockstream unveiled a revised business strategy and technology roadmap.

CEO Dr. Adam Back introduced the company's updated structure, centered around the message: The Future of Finance Runs on Bitcoin.

The company’s operations are now divided into three units—Consumer, Enterprise, and Blockstream Asset Management (BAM)—to better serve individual and institutional users.

“The past year has shown clearly that Bitcoin no longer sits on the margins of the global financial system—it is rapidly becoming the foundation,” said Back. 

“Our vision is simple: The Future of Finance Runs on Bitcoin. Guided by this idea, Blockstream is working hard to build the vertically integrated platform to support that transition, from individual self-custody to enterprise-scale asset issuance and regulated investment products.”

Market Context

Analytics firm SoSoValue reports over $41 billion in U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF inflows since early 2024, with participation from major financial institutions. 

States like New Hampshire and Arizona have proposed Bitcoin reserves, and corporate treasuries continue to adopt Bitcoin.

Founded in 2014 by Back, Blockstream focuses on infrastructure development while preserving Bitcoin’s core principles. 

Its research team, led by Andrew Poelstra, contributes to Bitcoin Core and cryptographic advances. 

Product offerings include Core Lightning (CLN), the Liquid Network, AMP for asset issuance and settlement, and the Jade hardware wallet.

New App for Self-Custody

Blockstream launched a redesigned version of its self-custodial app, building on the Green wallet. 

It supports Bitcoin and Liquid assets and includes hardware signing and air-gapped transactions via Jade.

“The new Blockstream app isn’t just a wallet,” said Peter Bain, VP of Consumer Products. 

“It’s a gateway to the full power of Bitcoin—enabling secure savings, fast payments, and seamless management of tokenized assets, all within an intuitive interface designed for both newcomers and hardcore Bitcoiners.”

The app is available in 31 languages and maintains all prior functionality.

Enterprise and Institutional Expansion

Blockstream also highlighted updates to its enterprise platform, which enables token issuance, treasury operations, and integration with financial infrastructure via APIs. It runs on the Liquid Network and AMP.

“As capital markets evolve, businesses, institutions, and governments will need infrastructure that is secure, programmable and built directly on Bitcoin’s rapidly growing network,” said Back. 

“Blockstream Enterprise brings that infrastructure together—enabling asset issuance, management, and settlement on Liquid, Bitcoin’s first and most battle-tested sidechain.”

Blockstream reports that Liquid has surpassed $3.27 billion in total value locked. AMP is currently live, with further features in development.

Outlook

The organizational update follows a $210 million capital raise in 2024 and the creation of BAM, focused on institutional Bitcoin products. 

The company is expanding partnerships to integrate its platforms into existing financial systems.

“The financial world is waking up to what we’ve known for years,” said Back. 

“Bitcoin is here to stay —and it’s never been easier to build on it. From first-time users to trillion-dollar institutions, our aim is to give everyone the tools to participate in this new economy, with the transparency, security, and resilience that only Bitcoin can provide.”
