Why Bitcoin is the Future of Corporate Treasuries
summary
Similar Scientific converts its balance sheet: market cap about $400M, over $350 million of Bitcoin, financed via cash flow, convertible bonds and an ATM with nearly $500M of authorization left, and claims to be the fourth-largest Bitcoin treasury company and the most levered Bitcoin treasury equity. Board turnover gives >30% insider ownership. Operational hurdles include SEC delays getting an ATM and intense social media scrutiny, and an early buy encounters a 20–25% Mount Gox dip that tests conviction.
