CEO of Blockstream Adam Beck has commented on the new trend among institutional investors who are actively creating Bitcoin treasuries. According to the expert, this strategy represents a kind of “new alt season,” but it involves a reallocation of capital specifically towards Bitcoin.

Expert’s Position on Investment Strategies
Adam Beck urged investors to convert their assets from altcoins to the leading cryptocurrency or to shares of companies that hold significant Bitcoin reserves on their balance sheets. In response to a question about the advisability of investing in securities or directly in Bitcoin, he noted that most counterparties seek to maximize earnings per share. However, Beck emphasizes that funds raised through bonds and other financial products ultimately end up in Bitcoin anyway.
“The Bitcoin treasury season is a new alt season for speculators. It’s time to offload altcoins into Bitcoin or Bitcoin treasuries [shares of companies that manage them],” Beck stated.
Growing Popularity of Bitcoin Treasuries Among Companies
In his comments, Adam Beck also reiterated the thesis that the optimal investment strategy is either direct acquisition of Bitcoin or purchasing shares of companies that accumulate Bitcoin in their assets, if the investor is prepared for increased risks. This approach is gaining popularity among large companies, even those not related to finance or cryptocurrencies. Examples include the Spanish coffee chain Vanadi Coffee and the American medical technology company Semler Scientific. Both have announced intentions for significant investments in Bitcoin, echoing a business model similar to that used by MicroStrategy.
At the same time, some experts warn that the current trend could lead to excessive market overheating. Founder of SkyBridge Capital Anthony Scaramucci compares the creation of Bitcoin treasuries to a “bubble” and warns of potential risks for project development.
