Since then, a plethora of financial institutions have embraced the cryptocurrency.

“Our Bitcoin treasury strategy and purchase of Bitcoin underscore our belief that Bitcoin is a reliable store of value and a compelling investment,” Semler said. Additionally, he referred to BTC as a “major asset class,” while referencing its $1 trillion market value.

“WE believe it has unique characteristics as a scarce and finite asset that can serve as a reasonable inflation hedge,” Semler added. Moreover, Semler noted its “digital, architectural resistance,” makes it preferred to other asset classes, like gold.

The company stated that it had “spent substantial time” exploring alternative treasury assets. Although it studied the potential use of cash, it ultimately uncovered the benefits of Bitcoin’s usefulness and viability in that capacity.
