Great news: big corporations aren't ready for BTC yet

[Vincom]

It's clear we're seeing some serious corporate action when it comes to accumulating BTC for businesses. Honestly, the list of big companies holding BTC just keeps getting longer, and the crypto community isn't buzzing as much over news updates like "this company bought a few hundred BTC" or "that company snagged a few thousand BTC". Even I'm not overly impressed with the amount of BTC Strategy is accumulating anymore – maybe we just got used to this pretty fast!

However, most of the companies currently accumulating BTC aren't the absolute giants in the market. Back in late 2024, shareholders at Microsoft and Amazon passed on accumulating BTC, and we recently heard that Meta made a similar decision. This is interesting, especially since Meta wants to roll out a stablecoin to really dive deeper into the crypto market. This news might have been a bit of a letdown for some crypto investors hoping to see the whole world jump on the BTC bandwagon and push prices up fast.

Personally, I think this is totally normal. Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta are all massive companies. Every single decision they make is crucial and can really impact the direction of an entire empire. They simply have too much to protect, and they're willing to wait to make sure their future decisions are super safe.

Looking at this from a positive angle, crypto investors should actually be happy that these huge corporations are still holding off on BTC. This means we're truly still early investors, and the opportunity for us in this market is just massive. I'd be more concerned if a ton of big companies suddenly piled into BTC, that could trigger an unsustainable bubble that might pop at any time.

I'd like to get your opinion on this:

• Does the rejection by tech giants make you less confident in BTC's potential?
• If you were the owner of Meta or Amazon, would you easily agree to accumulate more BTC?
• When do you think these tech giants will start accumulating BTC?

1. No.
2. Probably not, because I have methods that are tested with time already.
3. When the pros will outweigh the cons in their eyes (which would take a lot of time).

We do not need them but they will later find it hard not to buy bitcoin. There are many institutions that will still come. It is good to also know that just 4% of the people in the world have bitcoin. This number in percentage will still later increase.

Does the rejection by tech giants make you less confident in BTC's potential?

No.

If you were the owner of Meta or Amazon, would you easily agree to accumulate more BTC?

Yes

But the owner decision may not be supported by the shareholders.

When do you think these tech giants will start accumulating BTC?

We do not know when but as bitcoin continue as an appreciative asset and when it is in the number next to gold, maybe they will reconsider.

You mean the cap of BTC to Gold?

Does the rejection by tech giants make you less confident in BTC's potential?

No, but I also feel like these tech giants are the antithesis of BTC anyway.

If you were the owner of Meta or Amazon, would you easily agree to accumulate more BTC?

Maybe privately; but I think these companies are more in the business of generating cashflow than holding assets, so no.

When do you think these tech giants will start accumulating BTC?

I'm going with a controversial "never", unless it becomes necessary to hold BTC as a hedge against currency fluctuations. But the reason I'd say "never" is because (afaik) they don't hold gold either so I doubt that they'll start accumulating BTC, unless shareholder sentiment shifts in a significant way.

• Does the rejection by tech giants make you less confident in BTC's potential?

Not at all. I have gained my confidence in bitcoin before these big tech firm started taking bitcoin accumulation serious. I know that bitcoin is an asset that increases in value overtime due to the power law of bitcoin.

• If you were the owner of Meta or Amazon, would you easily agree to accumulate more BTC?

Yes I would, if the final decision is in my hands and it wouldn't go against the opinion of the management board and shareholders of the company

• When do you think these tech giants will start accumulating BTC?

No one can tell. Whenever they wake up from their slumber and realize that bitcoin is a store of value and can save their funds from inflation overtime. I believe that they will start accumulating bitcoin aggressively.[/list]

One day, many companies that are sceptical now will be going in BTC like for a walk or a swim, but, yeah, much more time is needed till BTC will reach such a point that everybody would have such a faith and understanding of it, especially for the people in the higher ups, that don't use anything with potential, but unknown and untested.

• When do you think these tech giants will start accumulating BTC?

a. No. Even before Bitcoin rise,  we are very much confident of it. Remember how many times some people declared Bitcoin is yet and we have seen time and time again that every four years the price goes to a new all time high.

b. Of course it's very easy decision, I would love to accumulate it. But the thing is that this tech giants have different approach, they have board of directors who will make the right decision and maybe most of them doesn't want to invest.

c. Doesn't matter if they will invest or not. The question is for the majority of us here to continue to accumulate sats.

It may not be long for that to happen when something good will happen like reaching new ATH or something good. Even without those big tech companies is that bitcoin have good news like reaching new ATH so they will see it sooner or later that bitcoin has great value for someone who want to get out of the inflation. One more thing, there are lots of people who buy bits and bits until it total to 1 btc or more depends on the person who do DCA.

they are, if you check form this board alone, try to look within the first five pages and discover a number of them that has been adopting bitcoin, though its something that by now, it should have been more bigger than we have already, because bitcoin is considered a resourceful digital asset they can be profitable about.

Even I'm not overly impressed with the amount of BTC Strategy is accumulating anymore – maybe we just got used to this pretty fast!

It is not by how much has been invested, but the strategy used in making this investment, you should also recall that Microstrategy has been using its pattern on bitcoin investment right form time, even before the new corporations are taking bitcoin into consideration for reserve or national treasury.

Yes we in the crypto world aren't excited about it anymore because when we needed them they didn't show up and we weathered the storm and reached a new All Time High without them. Secondly, we have also noticed that these companies buying Bitcoin are not doing it for the community but rather for themselves. Is it a good thing or bad thing for us? Well I don't know. What I do know is that everyone will be fine in the end and that Bitcoin is going to continue to thrive with or without them.

Companies seek profit only.

It's their goal and that's what they desire most, through tech or not.

That's basically the answer for it.

1. Not at all! I hope it remains that way!
2. Yes! For sure! If I am personally bullish about something, I would try to convince the shareholders about it as well.
3. Not sure! I don't want them to start accumulating Bitcoins. As a commoner, I want Bitcoin to remain in the hands of people like us. I wouldn't want governments to take notice of Bitcoin. Personally, I am not very cheerful when corporates buy more Bitcoins.

1. No
If in 2025, many years after Bitcoin genesis block and with very good adoption growth of Bitcoin, people still need to depend on stance and action of tech giants for their own investment decision like invest in Bitcoin or not, it's too severe dependency.

There are enough educational resources to learn about Bitcoin, and to support it what you learn on paper, there are enough data from Bitcoin price history to show you its strength. So with all these things, you can build up your own confidence on Bitcoin future and no longer rely on tech giants.

2. I surely will do accumulation but things don't stop here.
Big corporations with big capital need longer time of accumulation than retail investors like me and you. When you realized this fact as well as great advantage of retail investors, you are able to take advantage of it for your accumulation to have cheaper average entry prices.

3. I don't know and nobody know about that but any corporation do it earlier than the others, they will have good advantage.

By the time corps will have more BTCs than the retailers, we won't be there to witness it anyways, in my humble opinion..

Everything has its price, if bitcoin is only in the hands of the majority of commoner, and organizations, corporations and governments do not participate in the market. BTC can stay decentralized at best and not be manipulated, but I don't think bitcoin will reach high prices and make huge profits or become bigger in the future.

For example, without a bitcoin ETF, there would be no billions of dollars flowing into the market every month and no large inflows, which means the price of bitcoin would be unlikely to rise. Or what no one dared to think before was that bitcoin would surpass gold, but since governments and corporations have shown interest in bitcoin, people have started dreaming about it.

In my opinion, the people who really don't want governments and institutions involved in the market are the ones who care about the core elements of bitcoin. Meanwhile, the people who want them to enter the market are the ones who only care about price, and unfortunately, most people only care about the price of bitcoin.

Adoption wouldn't be so fast without institutions stepping up.

It's a trade, a double-edged sword, and I agree on that.

And there is nothing that stops them from continuing on our side.

Big companies are investing in bitcoin in a clear way and they have a good long term plan. Regardless of the amount collected but remember bitcoin has never made any company lose if invested in the long term. So I don't need to explain the benefits.
Now if there are some rejections made by tech giants against Bitcoin that makes us less convinced? That's bullshit! No matter how they reject it because we have seen this throughout the adoption of bitcoin. Their rejection in the past has led to a stream of companies regretting it. Accepting or not a tech giant company does not make bitcoin weak.

1. No, because we all know that Bitcoin is not only fought over by tech giants, but it has reached the level of competition between countries I think. So, there is no reason for us to doubt the potential of Bitcoin. I remember that there used to be so many news about famous people who thought that Bitcoin was a Bubble that would burst, and what he meant was that he thought that Bitcoin would have no value at all, but I'm sure now he must regret his words.

2. Of course I agree easily, and will accumulate more Bitcoin, because I think companies need savings or reserves in the form of assets, rather than investing it in gold, I personally prefer to invest it in Bitcoin.

3. Maybe you mean the tech giants who haven't started accumulating Bitcoin. If that's true, then I think some tech giants are still doubtful about Bitcoin, and I'm sure they will accumulate Bitcoin when its value has peaked, and is marked by more and more countries or institutions starting it first, so that means that they will start to believe in starting it.

Bitcoin wins either way, it's only the companies that miss the potential that it provides as time goes on
