Shareholders are happy
The company is in profit more than 1,1 billion USD with its Bitcoin asset allocation as shown on the Bitcoin treasuries website. Considering its annual revenues of around 480 million USD and profit of 30 million USD it’s clear that the shareholders are satisfied even because the stock prices had risen more than 200 % from the time of the first Bitcoin purchase.
Will other public companies follow?
It is quite realistic that other public traded companies will follow this precedent and protect their balance sheets full of cash flow sitting in the bank account. More about Bitcoin on its way to become the reserve currency read also the recent article.
