Bitcoin (BTC) is no longer just an investment for 'early adopters' or enthusiasts of the crypto ecosystem. More and more companies, from construction firms to biotechnology companies, are incorporating the digital currency as a reserve asset in their treasuries.
This was stated by Alex Leishman, CEO of River Financial, at the Bitcoin for Corporations event: "The Bitcoin of the Wild West is behind us," he summarized, recalling the foundational years of the cryptocurrency between 2009 and 2016, marked by volatility and operational risks.
Instead, the expert assured that today BTC is going through a phase of institutional consolidation. "We have entered the 'here to stay' phase," he stated.
According to the executive, corporate adoption of Bitcoin is growing "at an unprecedented pace": over 2,000 companies in the U.S. are using BTC through River Financial, a number that grew by 154% just in the last year.
"These are real companies: farms, plumbing, real estate, restaurants. They all reach the same conclusion: they want bitcoin," Leishman emphasized. He added: "Companies are not opening accounts at Charles Schwab to buy Apple or Tesla. They are directly buying BTC. That indicates that it is no longer seen as a technological risk asset, but as a store of value."
