Bitcoin Treasury companies face a simple but brutal test: can they increase the BTC itself, or should investors skip and buy assets?
“If you don’t do that, there’s no reason to do the techniques, just buy a Bitcoin ETF,” said Matt Cole, CEO of Struce Asset Management, on a panel in BTC Asia in Hong Kong.
Cole may be better known for being a steady advocate of Gamestop The placement of BTC in its balance.
On stage, Cole described the playbook as a search for Alpha, in search of ways to miss the BTC without just stacked at the risk of Bitcoin. Cole explained that it was decreasing to financing, where he pointed to a move from convertibles to forever preferred equity as a way to lock the action.
He added that the hardest milestone is a scale: reaching $ 1 billion in capital, the point at which financing becomes cheap enough to support IPOs and larger teams.
“The hardest thing to do for Bitcoin Treasury companies is getting a billion dollars,” he said, citing Microstrategy’s Michael Saylor.
That scale, Cole emphasized, only works with Bitcoin. Ethereum and other tokens, he said, acts as much as the equality with the transfer of financial policies.
“Ethereum works for a terrible -terrible owner for a Treasury company,” Cole said. “Bitcoin continues to climb compared to Fiat currencies because they are controversial.”
In his view, the BTC’s fixed supply makes it only possessing the ability to support a Treasury Strategy approach designed to compound over time.
Andrew Webley of the Smarter Web Company, a public UK web designer with the BTC on the balance sheet, struck a more measured tone about the NAV market, Bitcoin said compared to dilution, and company size.
Smaller companies, he said, have the advantage of capital raising, but transparency and clear risk communication remains as important as mathematics.
“The most important thing you can do as a public company, in my opinion, is to publish our policies first,” said Webley, adding clear disclosure helps investors understand the trade-offs of a BTC treasury model.
“If a person can understand the dangers, then in our opinion these things are the best opportunities in the world,” he added.
The split emphasizes the choice that investors face: invest in companies pursuing aggressive techniques to overcome BTC or in favor of companies that promise steady growth with clear transparency.
Either way, the panelists say that Bitcoin’s role as a treasury has only expanded as Fiat continues to be debated.
