DV8 Public Company Limited announced a strategic pivot towards becoming a Bitcoin-centric financial entity, signaling a significant shift in its corporate direction. The appointment of Chatchaval Jiaravanon, a prominent Thai entrepreneur and member of the Charoen Pokphand Group, as chairman underscores the company’s commitment to integrating traditional finance expertise with blockchain innovation. Jiaravanon’s notable acquisition of Fortune magazine in 2018 highlights his influence in global business circles.
DV8’s roadmap includes leveraging a Bitcoin treasury model while expanding investments into decentralized finance (DeFi), corporate governance reforms, and advanced digital infrastructure. The company aims to pioneer a crypto-integrated digital banking platform designed to enhance financial inclusion and foster innovation across Southeast Asia. This initiative is supported by a diverse board of 11 members, blending seasoned professionals from both conventional finance and the emerging Web3 sector, positioning DV8 at the forefront of regional fintech transformation.
