Who he is
Anthony Pompliano, known as "Pomp", is a US entrepreneur, investor and communicator, one of the most followed voices in the Bitcoin world (the podcast "The Pomp Podcast", the newsletter "The Pomp Letter"). A US Army veteran (sergeant, 2006-2012, with a deployment in Iraq) and a Bucknell University graduate, he worked on the growth teams at Facebook and Snapchat before turning to investing: Full Tilt Capital (2016) and then Morgan Creek Digital (2018), the crypto fund co-founded with Mark Yusko and Jason Williams. In 2025 he made the leap from investor to listed operator: his ProCap BTC reached Nasdaq, becoming ProCap Financial, one of the largest Bitcoin treasury companies in the public markets.
Current role
Pompliano is chairman and CEO of ProCap Financial, Inc., a Bitcoin treasury company listed on Nasdaq under the ticker BRR (Verified: September 2026). The path: in June 2025 his ProCap BTC announced a roughly 1 billion dollar merger with the SPAC Columbus Circle Capital Corp.; the transaction completed at the end of 2025 (in December 2025 Pompliano personally bought more than 1 million dollars of shares in the listed company). In March 2026 ProCap bought another 450 BTC, bringing the treasury to 5,457 BTC, alongside share buybacks (Verified: September 2026). He remains founder and CEO of Professional Capital Management and continues his editorial work with podcast and newsletter. He no longer appears to be operational at Morgan Creek Digital.
