Financial technology firm DeFi Technologies works towards the convergence of traditional financial markets along with the world of decentralized finance (DeFi). DeFi Technologies remains committed to pioneering Web3 technologies within the industry, striving to democratize access to the future of finance for investors on a broad scale.
Due to the substantial disparity in value between Bitcoin and traditional assets, DeFi Technologies is of the opinion that Bitcoin holds the promise of yielding remarkable returns as its adoption continues to expand. Speaking on the development, Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of DeFi Technologies said:
“We have adopted Bitcoin as our primary treasury reserve asset, reflecting our confidence in its role as a hedge against inflation and a safe haven from monetary debasement. As the best-performing asset over the past decade, Bitcoin offers significant short to long-term potential to expand the Company’s treasury”.
Multiple companies across the world have started growing their Bitcoin exposure as part of its Treasury. Two weeks ago, Semler Scientific announced the purchase of 580 Bitcoins worth $40 million. Similarly, Japan’s Metaplanet announced making Bitcoin the primary asset of its reserve treasury amid the depreciating Yen value.
