Analysts note that the growing interest in Bitcoin among public companies is driven by the desire to hedge against inflation and use the cryptocurrency as a strategic asset.
Bitcoin is also being increasingly adopted as a reserve asset at the government level. Legislation was proposed in 33 U.S. states, and Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the country. The governments of Czechia and Bhutan also plan to use Bitcoin as a reserve asset. More on this trend can be found in CP Media’s op-ed .
