Bitcoin as Corporate Treasury in Canada
Following Michael Saylor’s Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) playbook, a growing number of Canadian businesses are evaluating Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset. Here’s what you need to know.
Why Businesses Hold Bitcoin in Treasury
Inflation protection. Cash-heavy balance sheets lose purchasing power to inflation. Bitcoin’s fixed supply makes it a potential long-term store of value.
Scarce asset allocation. Bitcoin cannot be diluted. Unlike cash or bonds, no central bank can create more Bitcoin.
Portfolio diversification. Bitcoin has shown low correlation to traditional corporate assets (stocks, bonds, real estate) over many timeframes.
Asymmetric upside. A small allocation to Bitcoin represents meaningful upside potential relative to the overall treasury.
