Our Core Purpose
The Bolton-Strid Foundation is a non-profit institution established to resolve a critical structural crisis in American healthcare: the widening capital and technology gap facing rural, safety-net, and community healthcare systems. By engineering non-debt financial rails, we empower healthcare facilities to modernize infrastructure, acquire cutting-edge medical technologies, and maintain vital patient services without accumulating unsustainable operational debt.
Through a dual-entity model, The Bolton-Strid Foundation Inc. (Non-Profit Governance) works alongside Bolton-Strid Corp (Commercial Subsidiary) to deploy NEXAS™—a permissioned enterprise settlement network designed strictly for B2B healthcare infrastructure and vendor commerce.
Our Vision
We envision a future where capital equipment, advanced technology, and vital medical resources are funded through an efficient, non-debt settlement rail. By removing financial friction from procurement, we empower healthcare institutions to focus on expanding clinical capacity, adopting medical innovations, and elevating patient care.
Our Mission
To eliminate capital constraints for healthcare institutions by deploying a permissioned, non-debt settlement network that leverages the real-world economic value of practicing physicians to fund critical medical technology, infrastructure, and community wellness.
Organizational Architecture
- The Bolton-Strid Foundation Inc. (Non-Profit Governance): Serves as the primary custodial authority and network governor. The Foundation awards capital allocations directly to qualified healthcare facilities at zero cost based on verified, documented capital equipment needs.
- Bolton-Strid Corp (For-Profit Subsidiary): Manages enterprise network deployment, vendor integrations, and technical infrastructure maintenance. Bolton-Strid Corp facilitates institutional onboarding for equipment manufacturers, technology providers, and healthcare vendors into the NEXAS™ ecosystem.
The Infrastructure: The NEXAS™ Network & NMD™ Unit
NEXAS™ is a closed-loop, permissioned enterprise network built on Hyperledger Fabric. The network’s native transactional unit, NMD™, operates as a non-speculative B2B settlement commodity engineered specifically for healthcare trade.
- Macroeconomic Indexing: The value of 1 NMD™ unit is anchored to an external, auditable real-world benchmark: the annual per-capita macroeconomic output of a practicing U.S. physician derived via IMPLAN input-output economic modeling.
- Non-Speculative Settlement: Because NMD™ operates within a closed B2B network with value linked to external economic productivity rather than market trading, it is totally insulated from speculative volatility.
- Zero Friction Commerce: Designed for enterprise scale, the NEXAS™ network enforces verified institutional identities through Membership Service Providers (MSPs), providing zero gas fees, high transaction throughput, and absolute commercial privacy under anti-trust standards.
- Tax & Operational Synergies: The transactional framework enables participating healthcare systems and equipment vendors to optimize capital spending through streamlined trade and IRC Bonus Depreciation synergies on qualifying capital equipment purchases.
Governance Integrity
To guarantee that the mission remains permanently dedicated to public healthcare benefit, the Foundation operates under an irrevocable fiduciary governance covenant. Built directly into our corporate bylaws, a self-executing poison-pill clause mandates the immediate removal of any officer or director who attempts to alter the network’s 1:1 physician macroeconomic output peg, ensuring the ecosystem can never be debased or converted into a speculative market instrument.
