Fidelity Report: Companies Should Include Bitcoin in Their Treasuries to Hedge Against Inflation and Diversify Investments
Fidelity, with an asset management scale of $4.9 trillion, suggests in its latest report that companies should consider allocating Bitcoin in their treasuries to cope with economic uncertainty. In recent years, increasing inflation, interest rate fluctuations, and the depreciation of fiat currencies have prompted more and more companies to view Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Its fixed supply and publicly verified scarcity make it a strategic choice for hedging against inflation and preserving value in the long term.
Companies like MicroStrategy (holding 214,400 BTC), Block Inc. (8,000 BTC), Stone Ridge, and Semler Scientific have taken the lead. Factors driving this trend include the U.S. approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs and new accounting rules allowing companies to recognize Bitcoin assets at market value. These changes create a clearer regulatory environment for corporate investment in Bitcoin.
Once viewed as a high-risk speculative asset, Bitcoin is gradually becoming a strategic tool for corporate financial management, helping companies diversify their investment portfolios and withstand inflationary pressures in a turbulent economy.
