The Deputy CEO and Director of Bitcoin Strategy of The Blockchain Group, Alexandre Laizet recently shared a post on X, advocating for Bitcoin as a real store of value asset.
“If a company is not adding Bitcoin to its balance sheet, it is likely going to the ground as a stablecoin, and that is a future scenario for any company that does not acquire Bitcoin,” he said.
While stating the company’s finances, Laizet said that The Blockchain Group is up 300% in the past 6 months on its BTC holding while CAC40, the index of top 40 companies in France, is only up 7% for the period.
As crypto adoption continues to grow, more and more companies are jumping into the race with acquiring Bitcoin for their treasuries. At the time of writing, BTC price is trading near $87,500 – up nearly 25% in the past year.
