From US Reserves to Corporations: Bitcoin Becomes a Geopolitical Weapon

Recently, more and more companies are showing interest in holding bitcoins, leading to the growing popularity of the bitcoin treasury strategy. Many companies are investing significant amounts of money in digital assets, trying to profitably expand their balance sheets and gain returns.

For example, this week, Trump Media announced its desire to invest $2.5 billion in bitcoin, while GameStop allocated $500 million for digital assets. Interest in bitcoin has also been shown by Tether, SoftBank, and Jack Mallers' Strike, indicating a growing interest in cryptocurrency among large businesses and investors.

'Perhaps the market wanted them to buy more bitcoin,' noted Strategy CEO Michael Saylor. 'But this is a temporary dynamic. In the long run, having bitcoin on the balance sheet has proven to be extremely popular.'

Despite optimistic forecasts, companies that have just started investing in bitcoin have not yet seen the success that Strategy has experienced. Trump Media's stock has lost over 20% of its value, while GameStop faced nearly a 17% decline. At the same time, Strategy, which has over $60 billion in bitcoins in its portfolio, continues to show steady growth.

In the business world, more and more are choosing the bitcoin treasury strategy as part of their investment portfolios, reflecting a growing confidence in this cryptocurrency and its development prospects.
