🔹 Increased stability: strong BTC reserves support stocks even during corrections, as was the case for Metaplanet.
🔹 Sector impact: this type of acquisition may encourage other players looking to hedge against inflation, reinforcing Bitcoin's integration into traditional financial statements.
👉 To watch: the evolution of Tesla and MicroStrategy, which will remain benchmarks. If more companies choose this model, corporate Bitcoin volume could exceed tens of billions by 2026.
