Bitcoin Now Rivals Top US Corporate Treasuries – 11th Largest Cash Reserve Strategy Revealed
Move over, corporate cash hoarders—Bitcoin's playing in the big leagues now.
When the 11th largest US treasury strategy starts stacking sats alongside greenbacks, you know the game's changed. No more 'digital gold' whispers—this is a full-throated challenge to traditional balance sheets.
Wall Street's spreadsheet jockeys never saw this coming. While they tweak their 10-year DCF models, Bitcoin's eating their lunch with a volatility that makes CFOs sweat through their dress shirts.
Funny how 'risky asset' narratives crumble when it outpaces their precious money market funds. Maybe next they'll realize those 'safe' 0.5% yields are the real gamble.
