Corporate Strategies for Capital Conversion
The companies behind this movement are not merely storing capital, they are systematically converting fiat into Bitcoin.
> "They raise money in fiat, buy BTC, and repeat—it’s like draining the fiat system," said Adam Livingston in one of his comments.
Impact on Fiat Currency and the Market
Livingston warns that if this trend continues:
- Fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar could lose dominance. - Bitcoin might become a pricing benchmark for global assets. - Companies may soon be valued by BTC per share rather than earnings.
**Surging Stock Prices as a Sign of New Value Metrics?** - MicroStrategy shares: +153.46% YoY | +28.87% in 2025 - Metaplanet shares: +1,346.60% YoY | +316.78% in 2025.
Livingston concludes that Bitcoin treasury corporations may become pivotal elements of a Bitcoin-based financial system, raising questions about the future of monetary systems.
