Jill Ford

Founder • Bitford Digital
Jill Ford, founder of Bitford Digital, is a trailblazer whose journey embodies resilience, innovation, and redemption. With a background in e-commerce and marketing, she discovered Bitcoin mining and embraced the financial freedom it offered. However, in 2023, she faced a major setback, sentenced to 20 months in federal prison for bank fraud and money laundering. During her incarceration, she gained firsthand insight into the systemic inequities of traditional finance, deepening her conviction in Bitcoin as a tool for economic empowerment. Upon her release, she launched Bitford Digital, a company dedicated to advancing sustainable and ethical Bitcoin mining. Ford now leverages her platform to educate marginalized communities on financial literacy and cryptocurrency, believing in Bitcoin’s power to break cycles of economic disenfranchisement. She is also a fierce advocate for diversity in tech, championing women in cryptocurrency and blockchain.
