Digital Sovereignty Alliance Launches Digital Asset Case Study Program at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School

Washington, D.C., June 2, 2026 — The Digital Sovereignty Alliance (DSA) , a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing clear and ethical public policy, research and education surrounding emerging technologies, today announced the completion of the inaugural session of its new Digital Asset Case Study Course, an educational initiative designed to introduce students to the economic, technological, and policy questions shaping the digital asset economy. Developed in partnership with Professor Charles C.Y. Wang, Tandon Family Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, and Giveback Backpack, the program brings the Harvard case study method into a high school learning environment. The inaugural session was delivered to students at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, marking the beginning of a four-part educational series exploring digital assets, capital markets, trust, leadership, and the future of business in an increasingly digital world. Professor Wang, a leading scholar in accounting, digital assets, and capital markets, guided students through the analysis of a real-world business case focused on Alibaba. Rather than relying on traditional lectures, the session encouraged students to evaluate competing perspectives, engage in evidence-based discussion, and develop their own conclusions about complex business and governance challenges. “At DSA, we believe students should have the opportunity to engage with the technologies and ideas that are shaping the future of our economy and society,” said Adrian Wall, Managing Director of DSA. “This program is about building critical thinking skills, encouraging thoughtful dialogue, and giving young people the tools they need to understand and participate in an increasingly digital world.” The initiative also supports the work of Giveback Backpack, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding educational opportunity across Africa. Through its programs, students receive backpacks equipped with learning materials and technology resources designed to improve access to education and help prepare them for future academic and career success. Saturday’s session served as the first installment of a four-part curriculum that will continue through August, providing students with opportunities to engage with topics at the intersection of technology, finance, public policy, and leadership. The program reflects DSA’s broader educational mission to help young people develop the critical thinking skills needed to navigate emerging technologies and participate thoughtfully in public discourse.
