## Company profile image
Company logo: https://www.bitbrain.com/logos/bitbrain-logo-white.svg , actual official HTML asset on [company website](https://www.bitbrain.com/ ). María portrait extracted from named government article HTML; Javier URL followed from university `Image: 4 Javier Minguez` link. **University page editorial error:** seminar title and speaker identify Javier, but abstract/bio describe unrelated Qi Sun. Use title and named image as portrait provenance only; do not import that unrelated biography. White logo requires a dark background.
## Adex match and review decision
No Org name match in read-only `%bitbrain%` search. Proposed **Bitbrain**. Suitable company candidate; retain Luis as historical rather than asserting current CTO, verify portrait visually before import due university editorial error. Equity funding total unknown. SHOW MORE
