Dr. Andrew Hohns, PhD, is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Newmarket Capital, a Philadelphia-based Registered Investment Adviser he established in 2020 through the buy-out of the IIFC strategy platform, and of Battery Finance, which he founded in 2022 to pioneer investment strategies fusing real-world assets with Bitcoin. Headquartered in Philadelphia, Newmarket manages capital on behalf of institutional investors worldwide, targeting structured opportunities sourced from a global network of banks and financial institutions. Over his career, Dr. Hohns has overseen transaction structuring for approximately $50 billion of notional risk transfer, establishing himself as a recognized expert in securitization, Bitcoin-integrated credit instruments, socially responsible investment, impact investment, infrastructure, and development finance. Battery Finance has gained attention for structuring one of the first Bitcoin-backed real estate loans, demonstrating how Bitcoin can serve as collateral in traditional credit markets.
Prior to founding Newmarket, Dr. Hohns served as Managing Director at Mariner Investment Group from 2012 through 2020, where he was lead portfolio manager for the IIFC strategy. Before joining Mariner, he held the role of Managing Director at Cohen & Company until 2012. From 2012 to 2015, he also served as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at New York University's Stern School of Business. Dr. Hohns holds a BS in Economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania (2000), a Masters in Liberal Arts from the School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania (2006), and a PhD in Applied Economics and Managerial Sciences from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania (2012). He is a frequent speaker at industry conferences and has authored policy briefs through the Bitcoin Policy Institute, including a March 2025 paper on Bitcoin-Enhanced Treasury Bonds.
In the SPAC space, Dr. Hohns serves as an Independent Director of BTC Development Corp. (NASDAQ: BDCI), a blank check company founded on April 3, 2023, and headquartered in Philadelphia. The SPAC, which raised $220 million in its IPO, is led by Chairman Betsy Z. Cohen, with Bracebridge H. Young, Jr. serving as President and CEO, Jonathan Kirkwood as Vice Chairman, and Grant Gilliam and Hersh Kozlov as fellow Independent Directors. Through his affiliates and controlled entities, Dr. Hohns holds 300,000 founder shares in the sponsor structure, and the sponsor entity BTC Development Sponsor LLC receives $30,000 per month for office space, administrative, and shared personnel support services. The company was formed to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, or similar business combination.
Beyond his SPAC and investment management roles, Dr. Hohns serves on the Board of Directors of Fold Holdings Group (NASDAQ: FLD) and on the board of UNICEF USA. Through Newmarket Capital, he has led the firm's commitment to community impact, donating over $1.5 million to more than 25 non-profit organizations supporting humanitarian aid, animal welfare, arts and culture, environmental preservation, and education. Dr. Hohns is based in the Philadelphia area and continues to be an active voice in the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets, regularly appearing in financial media and at industry events to discuss how Bitcoin can reshape mortgages, commercial real estate, and small-business lending.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001821434 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 11 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 6 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
