What is Bitcoin Treasury v2?
Bitcoin Treasury v2 is the governance-first operating model for holding Bitcoin on a corporate balance sheet. Policy, custody, stress response, and disclosure are board-approved and published before scaling the position. The codifying frameworks are RARTA for allocation, SRF for stress, and BEOL for operations — together a single institutional standard.

Satoshi Institute view
v2 is not a generation. It is the operating choice that turns a Bitcoin position into a treasury.
