Institutional interest in Bitcoin continues to rise, fueled by developments such as the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. and the return of pro-crypto policies under Donald Trump's leadership.
These milestones have encouraged more institutions to consider Bitcoin as a strategic asset.
The latest buzz surrounds tech giant Amazon, where some shareholders are advocating for the company to diversify its reserves by investing in Bitcoin. Inspired by MicroStrategy’s approach, a proposal shared by the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) highlights Bitcoin’s potential to combat inflation and enhance shareholder returns.
The proposal argues that despite Bitcoin’s volatility, its long-term performance surpasses traditional assets like bonds.
