Matt Hougan, CIO at Bitwise Asset Management, believes a powerful shift is underway—one that could reshape how companies manage their capital.

In a recent appearance on CNBC, Hougan highlighted a growing trend: more public firms are adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets, viewing it as a safeguard against the weakening U.S. dollar.

According to Hougan, traditional cash management strategies are beginning to look outdated. Companies sitting on large reserves of capital have typically relied on short-term U.S. Treasuries or cash holdings.

But with rising deficits and aggressive monetary expansion, confidence in fiat stability is fading. As a result, Bitcoin is emerging as an attractive alternative for capital preservation.
