In an interview with Bloomberg, Scaramucci said he expects the approach to lose momentum in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now we\u2019re having this replicative treasury company idea,\u201d Scaramucci said. \u201cSo, you know, it will fade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He implied that investors may start to wonder why they\u2019re paying extra for a company to hold an asset they could simply buy themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of using bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset gained traction in 2021, when Strategy (MSTR), a software developer led by Michael Saylor, became the first major public company to do so. Saylor\u2019s aggressive bitcoin purchases turned Strategy into a de facto bitcoin investment vehicle, sending its stock price soaring nearly 3,000% since then.<\/p>\n<p>The massive gains drew attention across corporate America and elsewhere. A number of companies followed Strategy\u2019s lead, including medical device maker Semler Scientific (SMLR), which announced its own bitcoin treasury strategy in May 2024, and Tokyo-based Metaplanet (3350), which started out as a <a href=\"https:\/\/metaplanet.jp\/en\/about\/business-lines\">hotel management<\/a> company.<\/p>\n<p>The trend hasn\u2019t been limited to high-profile firms. Smaller companies, often penny-stocks, also jumped in, trying to raise capital or attract investor interest by adding bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies to their balance sheets.<\/p>\n<p>What began as a focus on bitcoin soon expanded to other digital assets. Some companies opted to purchase ether (ETH) or XRP (XRP) as part of their treasury strategy, pushing the concept beyond its original scope.<\/p>\n<p>Scaramucci acknowledged that Saylor\u2019s success is unique, pointing to the company\u2019s other business lines beyond bitcoin holdings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSaylor\u2019s case is different, because he\u2019s got a couple different products going now,\u201d Scaramucci said in the interview with Bloomberg. \u201cI\u2019m not negative on the others, because I\u2019m too bullish on bitcoin, but I would just say as an investor, you have to look through the underlying costs associated with each one of these treasury companies.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anthony Scaramucci, the founder and managing partner of hedge fund SkyBridge Capital, says the wave of companies adopting a bitcoin (BTC) treasury strategy is just a passing trend.
