In recent years, large companies have been actively filling their treasuries with Bitcoin, considering it as a strategic asset. Back in 2020, MicroStrategy became a pioneer by converting a significant portion of its reserves into $BTC . Its example was quickly picked up by Tesla, Block, and other public corporations.
There were several reasons: the limited issuance of Bitcoin, protection against inflation, and an increasing institutional interest. Thus, BTC transformed from the image of a “risky toy for enthusiasts” into a tool for corporate financial strategy.
Now a new wave is forming — Ethereum treasuries. After the launch of spot ETFs in the USA and the rapid development of DeFi, more and more companies see $ETH not just as a store of value, but as an asset that generates income through staking. Unlike BTC, Ethereum is an infrastructure for thousands of applications and has an internal economy that operates daily.
Just as Bitcoin once became a familiar part of corporate balance sheets, in the coming years we may see a similar story with Ethereum. This time, the driving force will not only be scarcity, but also the opportunity to earn by participating in the network's operations.
