Nasdaq-listed Heritage Distilling Holding Company has announced a new Bitcoin Treasury Policy Statement. The announcement outlines plans to accept Bitcoin (BTC) as payment and hold it as a strategic asset.

Nasdaq-listed craft distiller Heritage Distilling Holding Company announced a new Bitcoin Treasury Policy Statement on Monday, revealing plans to accept Bitcoin (BTC) as payment and hold it as a strategic asset.

This move positions the craft distiller as a leader in integrating cryptocurrency within the craft spirits industry.

The announcement outlines the company’s strategy to capitalize on Bitcoin’s growing acceptance among consumers, businesses, and financial institutions.

In a company release, Heritage highlighted the potential for Bitcoin’s adoption, especially considering recent updates to accounting standards that simplify how companies now report their Bitcoin holdings.

Another example of a company pursuing a similar strategy is Genius Group, which recently announced plans for a Bitcoin treasury and disclosed an additional $5 million purchase of Bitcoin on Jan. 10.

Bitcoin and Ecommerce Specifically for Heritage, the company plans to allow customers to purchase products on its direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform using Bitcoin.

It will also acquire and hold Bitcoin as part of its corporate treasury strategy.

According to the announcement, Heritage believes that its position as a producer of goods provides a cushion against Bitcoin’s price volatility.

The cost of producing spirits is lower than the retail price, which allows the company to absorb potential fluctuations in Bitcoin’s value.

“This approach provides Heritage with financial flexibility while expanding our customer base to include Bitcoin users,” said CEO Justin Stiefel.

The company’s Technology and Cryptocurrency Committee, chaired by tech leader Matt Swann, will formalize the policy before implementation.
