>> Mike, congratulations.

Mike Belshe

>> Thank you.

>> Great to have you here. What a day for you for BICO, for crypto. Tell me, how would you describe BICO in one word?

Mike Belshe

>> The process of being here. I would say the one word is validation.

>> Love that.

Mike Belshe

>> We started this in 2013. I don't know, for a long time I said history is going to either record us as geniuses or fools, and I think increasingly it's not fools, so I'm happy about that. So validation. Yeah.

>> Love that. And it's such a huge, significant moment here. What does it mean to the team at BICO, for the journey you've been on?

Mike Belshe

>> Look, I think it's rewarding to them too. I mean, abstractly, we as humans, we spend so much of our time working. We try to find something that hopefully we enjoy doing. We dedicate ourselves to it, but you spend a third of your day sleeping, you spend at least a third of your day working, and then you got a little bit of time left over for whatever's you, I think everybody needs to feel like the stuff that they were doing was worth it and worth it could be different things for different people. Maybe it's the mission that you're on. Maybe it's the money that you make. Maybe it's that you did something that made a difference and you hit an IPO. But I think, yeah, the one thing I saw from the team today was this is an experience that they don't see in many places. They all helped make this. I get all the credit, I guess, which is not completely fair. I could not do it if I did not have all those people around to make the company work.

>> Well, the energy, I spoke to some of the team earlier. It's incredible. There's so much love for you at this company and this journey. Tell me lastly, what do the next 12 months ahead look like for BICO and for crypto generally? What do you think 2026 will bring?

Mike Belshe

>> Well, we have to make sure we don't get distracted by this damn stock price. The stock price is just a thing. We're in this for the long term. We want to have an impact on how financial markets work. I think what we are building actually is differentiated. It is lower risk, it is stronger. It will give people better financial systems. Whether you're talking about your bank or your broker. It affects them all. So we want to really make a big impact. I think this year we're going to continue to grow. I think Wall Street is all coming into crypto and we're at New York Stock Exchange. They're saying at the top level, they're going to roll out everything digitally. They're going to be looking for the types of things we do. We're going to play with that. We're going to change the world.

>> Let's quote you earlier. I guess the tough work starts Monday, right?

Mike Belshe

>> Hmm-mm.

>> Congratulations. Thank you so much. Have a great evening.
