Join Switzerland's leading network of Bitcoin experts shaping the future of money.
The SBI Fellowship brings together independent researchers and practitioners across six critical domains: Access & Agency, Energy & Climate, Finance & Economics, Markets & Geopolitics, Strategy & Policy, and Technology & Innovation. Our fellows produce rigorous, evidence-based analysis on Bitcoin's strategic implications for Switzerland—without the hype.
Dr. Christian Decker
Christian stumbled across an interesting whitepaper in 2009, and hasn't had a boring minute since.
Dr. Harald Rauter
Harald focuses on the intersection of Bitcoin mining, grid stability, and energy markets, frequently sharing his insights across media platforms. As a keynote speaker, he brings a multidisciplinary perspective shaped by his background in finance, policy, and energy. His work bridges Bitcoin-native innovation with institutional frameworks and infrastructure realities.
Yves Bennaïm
Yves is the founder of 2B4CH, a nonprofit think tank focused on analyzing the socioeconomic impact of Bitcoin. He chairs the Swiss delegation to the ISO committee on blockchain standardization and leads the federal popular initiative to enshrine Bitcoin in the Swiss Constitution.
Yves-André Graf
Yves combines over ten years of experience in both traditional banking and the crypto space. As a committed Bitcoin maximalist for more than six years, he has developed a deep expertise in Bitcoin Treasury Strategy—now the central pillar of his strategic work.
Markus Perdrizat
Markus has been building Bitcoin financial markets infrastructure since 2016. Now as independent product and security advisor; previously he was CPO Bitcoin Suisse, CEO Swiss Crypto Vault and Head PwC Blockchain Competence Center.
Dr. Olaf Wagner
Olaf explores how an open, neutral, and censorship-resistant alternative to the banking system can advance societal progress and sustainability. With a background in natural sciences, sustainability, and international development, he brings a multidisciplinary perspective as a speaker and writer, translating Bitcoin's unique properties into tools for social impact.
Dr. Luca Ferrarese
My background is in science, but a strong desire to understand Bitcoin led me on an intense, self-directed journey into the history of money, finance and macroeconomics. This exploration into new disciplines inspired me to share my findings through articles, presentations and podcasts. Applying the analytical lens of a molecular biologist gives me a unique perspective on these complex topics and the systemic changes Bitcoin is introducing.
