According to Daniel Cunha, head of corporate development at the firm, these companies are not treating Bitcoin and stablecoins as speculative plays.<\/p>\n
Instead, they are using them as conservative treasury tools, holding steady positions rather than chasing quick trades. \u201cThey barely touch more than 10% of their reserves at a time,\u201d Cunha explained during the exchange\u2019s DAC 2025 conference, underscoring that the strategy is about balance sheet protection, not day-to-day speculation.<\/p>\n
The motivation is clear. With concerns mounting over inflation, currency devaluation, and geopolitical instability, businesses are turning to crypto as a shield for their reserves. Most of the focus has been on Bitcoin and dollar-backed stablecoins such as USDT and USDC, reflecting a defensive, cash-management approach rather than experimental allocations to altcoins.
\nBrazil has long been a fertile ground for crypto adoption, consistently ranking among the top countries in global usage.<\/p>\n
Yet the corporate side of the market remains underdeveloped. Only a handful of publicly traded firms in the country have officially disclosed Bitcoin holdings, with retail-focused M\u00e9liuz being one example. That is expected to change as OranjeBTC prepares to debut on the B3 exchange with $400 million worth of Bitcoin in its treasury, a milestone that would make it the nation\u2019s largest listed holder.<\/p>\n
