Alex Recouso is Co-Founder and CEO of CitizenX, a technology platform focused on citizenship-by-investment, residency programs, and international mobility. CitizenX positions passport diversification as a form of personal optionality for globally mobile families and has built a strong Bitcoin-oriented customer and investor narrative. Current CitizenX leadership pages identify Recouso as co-founder and CEO and describe the company as a product of The Network State Company.
What CitizenX Does
CitizenX provides a digital platform for citizenship-by-investment and residency programs, digital application workflows, and advisory services. The company helps clients navigate international mobility options across multiple countries and programs. CitizenX is not a government agency, passport issuer, or legal authority. It is an advisory and technology business — it does not and cannot guarantee citizenship or residency approval. Program costs, eligibility requirements, due-diligence rules, and processing times are dynamic and vary by country; these should not be treated as static information. Citizenship-by-investment should not be presented as guaranteed, anonymous, a way to evade taxes, or a substitute for qualified legal or tax advice.
Bitcoin Connection
CitizenX has developed a strong Bitcoin-oriented positioning — Recouso has proposed and advocated for citizenship and residency programs that allow Bitcoin holders to leverage their assets as part of application processes, and has discussed national-level approaches to Bitcoin adoption in the context of sovereignty and mobility. These are Recouso's and CitizenX's ideas and proposals, not adopted government policies unless independently documented as such.
Plan B Passport Acquisition
In 2026, CitizenX announced and now describes Plan B Passport as acquired, expanding its Bitcoin-focused migration and advisory footprint. The specific acquisition date and terms should be confirmed from CitizenX's official announcement rather than conference biography copy.
Education
CitizenX's current leadership page references University of Southern California attendance; this should not be inferred as a completed degree. Exact educational background should be verified from Recouso's current professional profile.
Current 2026 Work
As of August 2026, Recouso leads CitizenX's platform development, citizenship and residency advisory, Plan B Passport integration, and content and research including CitizenX's crypto-country index and sovereignty and mobility publications.
