Athena Bitcoin Global was founded by its former President, Edward “Coach Weinhaus, Esq. – the CEO of Judiciocracy LLC, BlockTribune’s publisher.
Coach hired Matias Goldenhorn to take over in August 2022 when he stepped down to pursue his doctoral research and to build the legal publisher, which became Judiciocracy, adding publications ALABnews and AbusiveDiscretion before selling the publishing group in 2024.
Coach said, “Matias and the team not only finished the job we started, but navigated the FTX debacle, a crypto winter or two, Operation Chokepoint 2.0 to vault us ahead as the global leader in crypto retail financial services.
As of the close of trading on May 15, 2025, at 4:00 PM EDT, the Athena Bitcoin Global (ABIT) stock price was $0.054 per share.
Coach added, “I am sure what Athena has coming next will be a product of management’s creativity and resilience.”
