Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas, has predicted the rise of AI-driven, single-person companies. In his speech, Tenev cited Bitcoin’s creation by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009 as an example. He believes that AI will empower individuals to build and operate companies single-handedly.
Tenev envisions these companies to be tokenized and traded on blockchains. This will allow retail and institutional investors to support these entrepreneurs without intermediaries. He said tokenizing on blockchain will allow direct investment into the person and the project’s economic activities, minimizing resources.
