Friends of the encrypted world, today we are going to talk about an interesting trend: companies incorporating Bitcoin into their balance sheets! 🎉

According to analysts at Wintermute, corporate interest in Bitcoin may last until 2025. Imagine more and more companies starting to view Bitcoin as an important asset, not just because of the excitement brought by its value volatility, but also because of its potential to enhance company balance sheets.

Wintermute's over-the-counter trader Jake Ostrovskis points out that this trend will become a significant market driver next year. Especially with the push from institutional investors, publicly listed companies and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are also eager to try. MicroStrategy is a typical example; they have already purchased $27.7 billion worth of Bitcoin and plan to continue investing heavily.

Moreover, Bitcoin mining companies like Mara and Riot are also following MicroStrategy's strategy by issuing convertible notes to increase their Bitcoin holdings. Metaplanet is not falling behind either, planning to raise $31.8 million through bond issuance for Bitcoin purchases. These companies believe that in this way, they can not only strengthen their balance sheets but also boost stock prices.

Of course, there is a lot of discussion in the market about the impact of ETFs. Ostrovskis believes that while ETFs provide a channel for U.S. pension funds and sovereign wealth funds to enter the crypto market, corporate capital fluidity is stronger and may drive market changes more quickly.

Traditional hedge funds are also no longer on the sidelines; they see opportunities in the market and act quickly. For these funds, ETFs are just a starting point; they are more focused on the potential of corporate capital pools.
