Bitcoin treasury companies can give investors greater exposure to the cryptocurrency’s gains, but the amplification works in both directions, according to The Smarter Web Company CEO Andrew Webley.
In a recent interview with $BTC advocate Stephen Livera, Webley also warned that unlike Bitcoin itself, these companies depend on management teams whose capital allocation decisions can materially affect shareholder returns.
Bitcoin Exposure Comes With Added Volatility
Webley identified two risks investors need to understand, the first being volatility. Bitcoin is less volatile than it used to be, the CEO conceded, but it still swings more than many assets investors hold, and a treasury company “amplifies that volatility,” and investors cheer that on the way up and mostly dislike it on the way down.
