The firm said it will start accepting crypto payments on its consumer health platforms as part of its plan to build a full-stack Bitcoin ecosystem.Prenetics, a David Beckham-backed healthcare company, is diving headfirst into Bitcoin.
The genomics and diagnostics firm listed on Nasdaq has invested $20m to acquire 187.42 BTC, becoming the first publicly traded healthcare company to do so, according to an announcement this week.
This move sent the firm’s stock 23% higher.
The Hong Kong-headquartered company is known for its DNA testing platform CircleDNA and its broader health sciences initiatives, but it is now making waves for reasons outside the clinic.
Its Bitcoin holdings, secured via a Kraken custody account, mark the start of what Prenetics calls a long-term digital asset strategy.
At an average purchase price of just over $106,000 per Bitcoin, the investment is a clear signal of conviction.#BTC走势分析 #altcoins #Write2Earn
