According to a new report, corporate Bitcoin purchases are increasing, with more than 61 different companies buying this cryptocurrency. Bitcoin's steady rise makes this strategy look very attractive.
However, there are inherent risks for these companies and Web3. While many companies are shifting from traditional models to a Bitcoin-first strategy, selling these assets could lead to a complete collapse.
Corporate Bitcoin Purchases, a Bull Market Signal?
Currently, Bitcoin is growing steadily, and corporate purchases are spreading globally. While MicroStrategy took the lead a few years ago, companies from all continents are switching to Bitcoin and making big promises. Fortune claims that at least 61 other companies have joined this trend, revealing the depth of recent success:
"The world has no idea what is happening and will be in for a big shock. This is a one-way train, and nothing can stop it," claimed Dylan LeClair, Bitcoin Strategy Director at MetaPlanet, a key representative of this international movement.
However, the corporate Bitcoin purchase trend may have serious drawbacks. Of course, Bitcoin's price is rising, and may soon reach another all-time high. Additionally, it has been less volatile than usual in recent months. Clearly, these are all very good signs.
Nevertheless, it's important to remember that most of these companies are not familiar with Web3. The cryptocurrency industry is vulnerable to sudden fluctuations and cyclical collapses, but wise investors can mitigate these risks.
Many of these new Bitcoin buyers are switching from failed business models, but are unaware of the cryptocurrency's pitfalls.
As MicroStrategy clearly demonstrated, companies that have made these Bitcoin purchases are not necessarily able to dispose of them. If those who have set the standard of trust in Bitcoin begin selling, it could cause market chaos.
Will all 61 of these companies plan to hold Bitcoin forever? Could future market turmoil force liquidation and bankrupt them?
And if you think BTC is the permanent HODL…. answer, what's the playbook for Bitcoin treasuries right now?

It feels like more struggling, publicly listed companies are rushing onto the BTC treasury bandwagon.
How will it play out? What will be the trigger to sell?
Do you…
Moreover, the corporate Bitcoin purchase trend is amplifying fears about "decentralization reduction". ETF issuers already hold more Bitcoin than Satoshi, and are buying more daily.
If private companies continue to buy and hold Bitcoin, they could disrupt the pillars of the DeFi economy. After all, the Bitcoin supply is limited to 21 million.
This is not to say that this Bitcoin purchase pattern is bad. It may have at least partially contributed to the low volatility and steady rise of the past few months.
This amazing trend could be a great opportunity for cryptocurrency, but it is not without clear advantages. The community must be prepared for all scenarios.
