Washington, D.C. | JULY 2025 — Today, The Digital Chamber (TDC), announces a new strategic partnership with Orbital Beam Consortium (OBC). This alliance brings together the nation’s leading blockchain policy advocate and a global data and intelligence powerhouse.

Our goal is to align the people building in this space with the policymakers shaping it—before the window for meaningful influence closes.”

Bourke will also join The Digital Chamber’s forthcoming Ambassador Program, a strategic initiative designed to elevate TDC’s visibility and influence, from Congress to regulators, by leveraging trusted voices to champion responsible innovation and modern policy approaches. In turn, Cody Carbone, CEO of The Digital Chamber, will join Orbital Beam Consortium’s Advisory Board to help guide its policy engagement and strategic vision.
