What do you think about Bitcoin treasury companies?

I believe they’re a great way to leverage Bitcoin, making it possible to use future profits to buy even more Bitcoin.

My favorites are:
   •   The Blockchain Group
   •   Metaplanet

I see huge potential here!

For me, the best way to hold bitcoin is by buying actual bitcoin on-chain and keeping it safely in a wallet you own the keys to.

With the price appreciation of bitcoin, you will get profits from simply holding without the need to give up custody to a 3rd party and trust them to keep it safely.

If you go through this companies then you are not taking any leverage on bitcoin, instead you're buying on their shares and stock in which they depend on bitcoin market price to perform and determine on what you earn.

If you're interested in bitcoin and want to take a leverage position, then try to invest by your self in bitcoin and hold on a non custodial wallet, anything that turns a profits for you is yours, not like the way these institutions will cut a percentage for you for investing on their shares.

Yeah, I’m with you — using BTC treasuries to stack more sats over time is a smart play. Metaplanet’s been catching my eye too lately. Curious to see how far they go!

I do think that they are really smart for hedging their treasuries into bitcoin, and I know that there are a lot of things that could happen, especially within the economy. Being able to do that and being a company that has increased in price recently, Metaplanet has potential in terms of stock price.

I believe they are smart enough to explore something interesting like Bitcoin and not rely on unlimited printing of fiat.

If Satoshi had made such recommendations in his white paper or any of the post he made, I will believe it to be a wise decision but I don't consider it because I can securely buy Bitcoin from any safe source and hold it in a self custodian wallet which I am the only one that have access to the wallet private key. If I hold till any bull season where the price is much okey for me to sell, I will sell and hold the fiat till the price dip again, then I will buy more Bitcoin with the initial capital and the profit made.

A pretty solid approach, and one that many people often follow  buy at a lower price, sell when it goes up, and repeat. However, it might not be a bad idea to also consider long term hodling without converting to fiat, since people often miss the biggest price jumps while trying to time the market just right. Satoshi may not have explicitly said this, but the whole idea of having full control over your own money definitely supports the self custody strategy you’re using.

It will never be a wise investment. Where you can invest yourself if you want and if you want you can deposit your saved bitcoin in a non-custodial wallet. There will be no third party or second person intervention, only you can login. So why would you deposit your saved bitcoin with someone else? It is not guaranteed that he will not steal your money. But if you keep it in a non-custodial wallet, then you are the only person who can login and you can login with the private key.

Despite the aggressive accumulation and holding of Bitcoin as a treasury asset by this groups I still don't find the idea of leveraging Bitcoin on them enticing. One of the biggest risk here is hype cycles and custody of my asset which has defeated the core aim of Bitcoin relinquish the full control of my just to leverage of a company's treasury strategy.

I rather keep my coin where I will only worry about market volatility and that is where my patience and long term endurance pay off.

Obviously it's a great strategy for any company - moving from holding corporate treasuries in inflating fiat to hard-currency bitcoin.

I personally wouldn't use these companies as an investment just because they own bitcoin. For an individual, owning bitcoin is much better and more useful and safer than investing in companies just because they own bitcoin.

But yeah for the companies themselves, it's great as part of their corporate financial strategy to make their company fiscally stronger.

And it's great that the trend is finally starting to catch on after stopping at only a handful of public companies back in 2020/2021. Since about a year ago, once the ETFs  showed that Bitcoin was starting to break into traditional finance, new companies started to do it again and I'd seen usually one announcements per month of new companies adding bitcoin during that time, but over the past month or so that seems to have drastically picked up to one to two (sometimes even three) companies per week! The corporate treasury adoption of Bitcoin is finally continuing and speeding up!


Still waiting for the day when one of the big trillion+ dollar companies (amazon, facebook, nvidia, meta, microsoft, google, apple) that are each sitting on 40-100 billion dollars of cash decide it is finally time to do the smart thing and put some of that into bitcoin. Each of these companies could easily buy like 5-20 billion dollars in bitcoin without feeling like they went too heavily into bitcoin. One of these companies adopting a bitcoin treasury I think would really be the signal that yes this is becoming mainstream now even for the largest companies and not just for smaller, mostly zombie, companies as a way to prop up their stock. But who knows how many months or years we are away from those giants getting with the program.
