【Crypto World】Cryptography pioneer Adam Back recently shared an interesting perspective in an interview with Yahoo Finance: in the long term, companies will allocate Bitcoin on their balance sheets. His logic is actually simple—against the backdrop of global liquidity easing, Bitcoin, as a scarce asset, naturally possesses inflation-resistant properties. This view aligns with the practices of tech companies like MicroStrategy and Tesla. From an asset allocation perspective, Bitcoin is gradually evolving into a systemic store of value, rather than just a trading asset. Companies will see it as a hedging option against economic uncertainty, and this trend may become increasingly evident.

Really? Companies allocating Bitcoin to hedge against inflation... sounds like a familiar story in the crypto world. I’m a bit confused. If they really want to hedge against inflation, why not just go for gold? I believe Back when he says that, but do companies really dare to go all-in on this? Wait, isn’t this the same logic Elon Musk and Tesla are using? Now everyone is talking about it. Speaking of which, once the easing cycle turns, can these institutions really hold their positions? Institutional store of value? That’s a bit of overhype, haha. I think this trend still depends on regulatory attitudes; otherwise, it’s all just talk.

well technically the "every corp will eventually hold btc" thing is just institutional adoption with extra steps... but yeah, scarcity narrative hitting different when printers go brrr
