Bitcoin Treasuries: A Growing Trend in Corporate Strategy

la., Dec. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - A recent article in Bitcoin Magazine addressed the recent tsunami of companies jumping into the current “IT” strategy… Bitcion as a treasury asset. The article said: “MicroStrategy’s corporate Bitcoin treasury strategy is taking off. Public companies are FOMO’ing (“Fear Of Missing Out”) into bitcoin. It’s almost as if Trump’s pro-Bitcoin stance is giving companies the green light to stack BTC. (One day in November alone ) seven public companies announced that they have bought or plan to buy bitcoin for their treasury reserves, with one new company committing to purchasing $1 million in BTC (the next day). Crazy, right? It has felt like a minimum of one to two new companies a day are adopting bitcoin as a reserve asset — not to mention all the companies getting bitcoin exposure via the ETFs. It’s surreal to witness the FOMO from companies adopting a corporate Bitcoin playbook in real time… Over the course of the next year I’m expecting this corporate Bitcoin adoption to only increase as the price of bitcoin rises and Trump takes office.”   A review of the market shows that leading companies are embracing Bitcoin Treasuries as a Strategic Asset. The adoption of Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset is gaining momentum among innovative companies across industries. Recognizing the potential of Bitcoin as a store of value and hedge against inflation, businesses like Rumble, MicroStrategy, Marathon Digital Holdings, Hut 8 Mining Corp, KULR Technology Group, Block Inc., and Coinbase are leading the charge in integrating Bitcoin into their financial strategies.   Active tech companies in news today include:   KULR Technology Group, Inc.
