Rodolfo Novak: Why Corporate Bitcoin Treasuries Help Us All

The last three months in Bitcoin have been marked by large corporate entities transitioning significant portions of their treasury holdings into bitcoin, most notably MicroStrategy and Square.

To compile this trend into a single, easily-digestible database, Coinkite’s Rodolfo Novak (@NVK) launched bitcointreasuries.org, listing companies that have made the transition to hold bitcoin as a treasury asset.

In this interview with Bitcoin Magazine's Peter Chawaga (@PeterChawaga), Novak explains why corporations are choosing this moment to FOMO into bitcoin, what this trend means for your average sat-stacking bitcoin investor and what corporate interest in BTC reserves could look like in ten years.
