#BTCReserveStrategy
What is a Bitcoin Reserve Strategy?
A Bitcoin reserve strategy involves allocating a portion of a company's cash or assets to the purchase and holding of Bitcoin (BTC) instead of holding it in the form of fiat currencies, stocks, or bonds.
Typical motivations include:
Hedging against inflation and fiat devaluation
Diversification of reserves outside of traditional assets
Visibility with crypto investors and alignment with the blockchain ecosystem
Global flexibility and liquidity through 24/7 Bitcoin trading
