Yesterday, the company announced a plan to sell up to $500 million in stock, with proceeds allocated for buying bitcoins, mergers & acquisitions and other strategic initiatives.
While many publicly traded companies lack direct involvement with Bitcoin, several major firms—including MicroStrategy and Tesla—remain heavily invested. According to The Block, at least 20 global corporations currently hold over $5 million in BTC on their balance sheets.
The rising trend of corporate Bitcoin reserves could fuel BTC demand, while simultaneously advancing stock tokenization, fostering greater integration between crypto and traditional equities markets.
