Artificial intelligence will lead to minimal staffing needs, with future companies consisting of just one person. This statement was made by Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas, reports Decrypt.
He referenced Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, noting that the leading cryptocurrency was developed by a single individual.
“I think there will be more companies consisting of one individual, and you can imagine them being tokenized and traded on blockchains—like other assets. Essentially, you will be able to invest in a person or in the economic activity of a project managed by one person,” said the CEO of Robinhood.
Bitcoin serves as the personal brand of Satoshi Nakamoto with technological backing, the expert added.
Tenev believes that artificial intelligence allows for the creation of increasing value while using fewer resources.
In May, it was revealed that Robinhood was developing blockchain platforms for trading U.S. securities in the European market.
Earlier, Aptos Labs CEO Avery Ching stated that AI agents need access to blockchain assets—cryptocurrencies, tokens, and tokenized instruments like real estate.
