This thread comes on the heels of the reaction and expression of disappointment which I have been seeing from many bitcoin lots as a result of the fowled Arizona bitcoin reserve, and other similar news relating to government bitcoin reserve. Except for
Hampshire .
In the recent months I have been reading variants of threads about government backed strategic reserves from the federal level to the state level, even with some smaller municipalities. And it's like we're no more giving attention to the corporation and institutional adoptions that's constantly going on (a recent one was from 21-Capital, in aggressive bitcoin accumulation business after Strategy). And according to a newsletter article I read, which quotes that "corporation adoptions alone can skyrocket bitcoin to beyond $140k. Today corporations hold a total of $756k BTC",
end of quote. $140k in my opinion is even an understatement!
Despite how significant the government adoption of a bitcoin reserve is believed to be capable of shaking bitcoin price to the moon, it's also imperative and noteworthy to subtly remind us that with or without the government reserve's, bitcoin value will still surge with each circle as corporation/institutional adoptions expands.
Everyone gives attention to corporation and institutional adoption of Bitcoin but countries and states steal the attention because they are more significant. It always depends on the corporation and on the country or state too. If company like Microsoft, Nvidia and Apple creates bitcoin strategic reserves, then it will steal the attention and not the New Hampshire but if the whole United States creates Bitcoin strategic reserve, then it will be a hot news.
Consider that there is a big difference between the corporation and the country. Apple, which is one of the biggest and the most successful company, has reserves of 160 billion dollars but country like China, has 3.2 trillion dollars. That's a huge difference and that's why countries will steal attention.
Yes large countries have more money to throw around, but also most of a nation's money is spent on running the govt/country, not on building reserves. Most govts, especially larger ones, are also answerable to the citizens, so a nation isn't going to say "let's throw $500 billion into Bitcoin!". They don't have the free money nor the political freedom to do so. And there are also only what like maybe 10-20 large nations that could buy a really significant amount of Bitcoin.
There are nearly 200 companies with market caps around $100 billion up to $3 trillion. The top companies sit on tens of billions of dollars at all times and could easily put many billions of dollars into bitcoin. While many dozens could easily put anywhere from a few hundred millions dollars to several billions dollars into bitcoin to strengthen their treasuries. There's also lots of private companies that could do the same. And then there are thousands and thousands of smaller companies that could put anywhere from tens of thousands of dollars into bitcoin to tens of millions of dollars into bitcoin, if every company were to adopt a partial Bitcoin treasury.
An new companies are made every year. While national reserve bitcoin adoption will garner a few big headlines and could end up buying up to like 2 million bitcoin total, corporate adoption of bitcoin treasuries will be a long lasting or permanent stream of billions of dollars into bitcoin. Both are going to suck up a lot of the bitcoin supply over the long term, but corporate adoption is likely going to be bigger overall. Companies may end up owning several million bitcoin eventually.
