Readiness and Resilience: Remaining True to Our Purpose Amidst Crisis
To our Bitkub Community,
As Thailand, along with other countries around the globe, witness the significant momentum of the outbreak, consumer and business behavior generally remains subdued and interruption of varying degrees is experienced. While we all hope for this to be a temporary situation, people are still in distress.
This global crisis truly speaks about our holistic response under tight timelines; how we place a greater focus on valuable outcomes and; how we stabilize and harness constraints of volatile conditions to spark development.
The rise of COVID-19 virus has led businesses to consider (or in most cases, reconsider) their own preparedness measures — increase corporate resilience; ensure internal management and community well-being; embrace virtual collaboration tools and practices, to name a few.
Bitkub has adopted work practices to sustain operations and quickly respond to the demands of navigating COVID-19. Our work experiences are supported by an ecosystem of virtual resources, technology and behavioral norms that define work as a thing that we do rather than a place we go.
With this perspective, we would like to share our implemented actions in this dynamic environment to ensure workforces’ safety while staying connected and productive. Most importantly, to forge stronger relationships and bonds with our customers.

Songkran postponed, Buriram enters a state of lockdown
13th to 15th of April are no longer declared as official holidays. Meanwhile, the province of Buriram is in self quarantine for 14 days. The public has also been urged to avoid exposure to huge crowds or gatherings.
Bitkub’s Responses: We coordinate efforts across the management and monitor relevant health/travel and regulatory updates. This way, we can effectively assess market and financial impacts and risks in order to access the aftermath of changes on profitability/investment and develop contingency plans to mitigate them. An agile mindset is our norm.
