Crypto treasury boom: Why public companies are stockpiling crypto
About this episode
In this week’s Byte-Sized Insight, we explore the fast-growing world of crypto treasury companies: publicly traded firms using digital assets as strategic reserves. With billions in capital raised, these companies are giving investors new, regulated ways to gain exposure to not only Bitcoin (BTC) but assets like BNB and SOL.
Host Savannah Fortis speaks with David Namdar, CEO of BNB Network Company (formerly CEA Industries), and Joseph Onorati, CEO of DeFi Development Corporation, to unpack why these vehicles are emerging now, how they work, and what they could mean for the future of institutional crypto adoption.
