Contrary to what most entrepreneurs and startups may believe, going public on a major stock exchange is no longer “sexy”. IPOs are something investors will shy away from, rather than jump on the hype train these days. Even tech giants such as Microsoft and Facebook only went public once their number of shareholders surpassed a particular mark.
Selling shares over-the-counter, on the other hand, is a different market altogether. In fact, the very first publicly traded Bitcoin investment vehicle – called Bitcoin Investment Trust – can be bought over-the-counter. This strategic move gives investors all over the world easier access to the world of Bitcoin and digital currency.
