Hamilton brings extensive experience in corporate finance, capital markets and the digital asset sector, with senior roles at Animoca Brands, Trovio Asset Management (now JellyC) and private equity firm Washington H Soul Pattinson.
He has been active in the digital asset industry since 2016 and has raised significant institutional capital for Web3 and digital asset funds.
Most recently, Hamilton worked in Animoca Brands’ capital markets team and advised DigitalX on its $21.6 million strategic placement in July.
That raising introduced Animoca Brands, UTXTO Management and Parafi Capital as strategic investors to accelerate DigitalX’s bitcoin-first treasury strategy.
In his new role, Hamilton will be responsible for sourcing and deploying strategic capital to grow the company’s bitcoin per share in line with its “2100 BTC Vision”, as well as overseeing other revenue-generating activities.
DigitalX interim chief executive Demetrios Christou said Hamilton’s expertise would be critical to the company’s next phase of growth.
“Will’s corporate finance expertise and deep understanding of bitcoin makes him ideally suited to help accelerate our bitcoin-first strategy and grow our institutional offering,” Christou said.
