Janover plans to start staking the newly acquired SOL immediately to generate additional revenue. The announcement follows the company raising<\/a> about $42 million with the expressed intent to enhance its digital asset treasury strategy.<\/p>\n

The new capital was raised in a convertible note and warrants sale from Pantera Capital, Kraken, Arrington Capital, Protagonist, The Norstar Group, Third Party Ventures, Trammell Venture Partners and 11 angel investors. At the same time, a team of former Kraken executives has taken control of the company.<\/a><\/p>\n

Joseph Onorati, former chief strategy officer at Kraken, stepped in as chairman and CEO at Janover following the group\u2019s purchase of over 700,000 common shares and all Series A preferred stock. <\/p>\n

Altcoins on the balance sheet?<\/h2>\n

Janover is one of the latest companies to decide to add digital assets to their corporate treasury. What makes it an outlier is the decision to accumulate an asset that is not Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The most notable example of a Bitcoin-accumulating firm is Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). Strategy is a publicly traded business intelligence company founded as MicroStrategy in 1989.<\/p>\n

In 2020, the firm pivoted to acquiring as much Bitcoin as possible. Strategy now holds well over 2.5% of all Bitcoin that will ever be produced.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin dominates balance sheets<\/h2>\n

BitcoinTreasuries.NET data shows that Strategy holds 528,185 BTC worth nearly $44.2 billion at the time of writing. The company has leveraged debt to accumulate its Bitcoin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another example of a company that is now focused on accumulating Bitcoin is Metaplanet, often referred to as \u201cJapan\u2019s MicroStrategy<\/a>.\u201d Both companies hold Bitcoin as a\u00a0hedge against inflation<\/a>\u00a0and as part of a broader strategy to diversify and modernize their treasuries.<\/p>\n

According to some analysts, this strategy may soon pay off. Bitcoin is showing growing resilience to macroeconomic headwinds compared with traditional financial markets, according to a recent Wintermute report. Still, not everyone is convinced that the trend will hold, with the founder of Obchakevich Research, Alex Obchakevich,\u00a0saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the trade war intensifies, Bitcoin may return to the list of risky assets. Because investors will most likely look for salvation in gold.\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
