Updated: 8h ago- Lack of Internal Discussion: Most companies do not reject Bitcoin outright; rather, it fails to enter internal discussions, leading management teams to default to familiar low-volatility investments and miss potential opportunities.
- Governance Risk Avoidance: Bitcoin challenges traditional cash management models, causing management to shy away from raising potentially complex governance issues with boards, auditors, or investors, resulting in Bitcoin being filtered out before evaluation.
- Perception Risk Barrier: The few companies that do allocate to Bitcoin often accept that markets may misinterpret their decisions, with shareholders viewing it as speculative and short-term price swings dominating the narrative, impacting long-term strategy execution.
- Cultural Barriers: Corporate culture typically rewards decisions aligned with consensus, while adopting Bitcoin requires leadership teams to have the courage to operate outside established norms and endure misunderstanding and scrutiny during the unfolding of long-term strategies.
