You’ve heard of Bitcoin, but have you heard of “Bitcoin treasuries?” From Japan’s MetaPlanet to UK firms like Coincilium and The Smarter Web Company, 61 publicly listed companies have now adopted the strategy of holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets—not just as a speculative bet, but as a hedge against inflation and a way to lure investors hungry for crypto exposure.
In this week’s episode of Merryn Talks Money, host Merryn Somerset Webb and Money Distilled author John Stepek are joined by Dominic Frisby, author of The Flying Frisby investment newsletter, to unpack this new strategy and whether the hype is grounded in value or hot air.
Merryn Talks Money with Bloomberg senior columnist Merryn Somerset Webb is your key to understanding how markets work – and how you can make them work for you. Every episode features a relaxed but in-depth conversation with a fund manager, a strategist, a Bloomberg expert or just someone Merryn finds particularly interesting in any given week. Listen in for the kind of insights and explanations everyone can use to help them make better saving and investing choices. From Bloomberg Podcasts.
