Great news: big corporations aren't ready for BTC yet

[michellee]

List of big companies holding BTC just keeps getting longer and become big. Whether if that is big or small companies, they still accumulating Bitcoin because they know the potential. I guess the tech giants already invested in Bitcoin long time ago without we know. They can enter to the market secretly without telling to public that they also invest in Bitcoin.

Even if they seem look stop buying Bitcoin, I am not sure if they really stop especially when they see the potential of Bitcoin in the future. They have a big funds to invest in Bitcoin and can buy it in any price so why they don't follow other people invest in Bitcoin? While I have much money and the owner of Meta or Amazon, I will instruct my boys to buy Bitcoin and hodl it as the company wealth. I will also buy Bitcoin using my personal wealth to have Bitcoin investment secretly.

Bitcoin treasuries seem to be making their way up the list of companies...  It is only a matter of time before Apple apes in.  I think there are more than a hundred publicly traded companies that have Bitcoin on their balance sheets now.  These large companies just have shareholders that aren't interested in stacking Bitcoin.  They want to focus on their core business and I don't blame them.  Eventually they will come around though.  Microsoft and Amazon had opportunities to vote on whether or not to stack.  The chose not to.

Maybe in few years from now, we could see more buys than sell in the crypto market. It seems like it's now many of these companies are knowing about the importance of holding crypto assets like Bitcoin. I just hope that these companies are not just in to make money alone by reaping us with manipulation and FUD. If their plans are to hold for as long as possible, that would be highly welcomed but the way these companies are investing Bitcoin, something must be fishing actually.
The market is a little bit busy this time and more fishes are entering the market with the hope that they are going to send the price of Bitcoin to 200k as soon as possible.

Companies are there for the money.

It's their initial and everlasting goal, after all, all the rest leads to it.

Bitcoin has a best ever adoption rate in history and it is amazing that this adoption is likely very sustainable and there will be no Bitcoin bubble burst in future. It is not like Internet dotcom bubble, Tulip mania bubble in the past and Bitcoin is here to stay with bigger adoption on it over time.

Companies have to adapt to newest trends and they are targetting at profit while Bitcoin in many years has proven itself as a best investment asset for anyone who can hold it for years.

When they start their journeys as long term investors, they know that they must be strong holders for years. If any company start without enough research and solid holding plan, they will be full of stress in this market and even they are institutional investors, they can do panic sells and exit the market with losses.

It's up to investors from retail to institutional with their capital and actions, it's not responsibility of Bitcoin to bring profit to everyone, every company.

Most still fear BTC as something not as stable as what's already on the table, but this narrative changes, and I am all for it

Nothing prevents the major companies mentioned in OP from accumulating Bitcoin, and they may be accumulating it now without announcing it publicly.

Most large companies listed on a US stock exchange (NYSE or Nasdaq) are subject to reporting requirements with the SEC under the Exchange Act. That means they can't buy bitcoins on their own or secretly without permission or without reporting it to the SEC. Even if they silently buy BTC through OTC, they still need to report it in their quarterly financial reports. They can't hide them because it's the law.

Also, large corporations are managed by a board of directors, which means that the consent of major shareholders is required and they always want everything to be public because this involves legal risks.

Thank you for the explanation that clarifies the decision-making process of these giant companies. I can also see your explanation answers the question at hand: why these companies have not yet joined the Bitcoin accumulation race, in which countries are now competing, as are smaller companies that have developed and are working on a plan to accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible. Although these companies are private investments, decisions are subject to a somewhat decentralized system, with decision-making being distributed across several boards and subject to strict legal regulations.

Nothing is stable, and irrational fear is not something that we should cater to. Besides something that has upward price movement can never be considered stable.

They move slow. Where many people are involved in the decision making process, it is always much worse as there will be individuals who think that they are very smart but in fact they are dumb dinosaurs. As these people die and generations keep changing, Bitcoin is going to win. All it takes is for 1 big corporation to adopt it, and the others will start fighting to do the same. Time is on our side.
