Bitcoin’s corporate adoption raises concerns with Fort Knox-like nationalization

Corporate Bitcoin Treasury has passed $ 100 billion, raising concerns to analysts that the United States may one day combine these handling with a move reminiscent of the golden standard.
Corporate Crypto Treasury has exceeded $ 100 billion of digital asset handling, including Bitcoin (Btc) Treasury companies earning 791,662 BTC worth nearly $ 93 billion, representing 3.98% of the shifting -shifting supply, Cointelegraph reported on July 31.
Growing corporate handling may present a new centralized point of weakness for Bitcoin, which could see the world’s first cryptocurrency that followed the same “national path” as gold in 1971, according to Crypto analyst Willy Woo.
“If the US dollar is a weak structure and China is coming in, it is a fair point that the US can make an offer to all Treasury and Central companies where it can be placed in a digital form, not create a new gold standard,” Woo said in a panel discussion on the Baltic Honeybadger 2025, Increasing: Adding:
“You could have it alpula as happened in 1971. And it was all centralized around the digital bitcoin. The whole history was repeating the beginning.”
In 1971, President Richard Nixon completed the Bretton Woods system, suspending the dollar converts to gold and abandoned the fixed $ 35-per-ounce rate, which effectively ends with the gold standard.

Woo noted that adoption of the institution was a critical step for Bitcoin to replace the US dollar, exceed gold and become a new financial standard. “That won’t happen until you get the big gatekeepers of capital opening up to bitcoin and pouring money,” he said.
Analyst comments come in the middle of a period of accelerating institutional adoption, two weeks after 35 companies that have been exchanged in public exceeds 1,000 BTC or approximately $ 116 billion in the sheet sheets each, Cointelegraph reported on July 25.
Nationalization efforts can also target bitcoin whales, according to Preston Pysh, co-founder of investors Podcast Network and Bitcoin Venture Fund Ego Death Capital.
“They will take Bitcoin because it will have a custodian of the institution who does not want to be jailed,” he explained, adding that the first targets could be “private creatures with many bitcoin.”

Very reversed in spite of the risks
Despite nationalization concerns, the growing corporate adoption can show a potential $ 100 trillion market opportunity.
Bitcoin already has a $ 2 trillion-dollar owned by only 16 years old, Woo said, “We have 100x to grow, and maybe it will take decades to get there.”
Woo’s projection aligned with earlier forecasts from Adam Back, Co-Founder and Blockstream CEO, described Bitcoin as A $ 200 trillion market opportunity In the long term.
“A sustainable and measured $ 100- $ 200 trillion trade front-running Hyperbitcoinization. Enough for most large listed companies to move to BTC Treasury,” said back to an April 26 x Post.
Hyperbitcoinization Refers to the theoretical future where Bitcoin becomes the largest global currency, replacing FIAT money due to economic inflationary.
