Rumble Buys 188 Bitcoin
Rumble added 188 BTC to its treasury at an average price of about $91,000 per coin.
The move comes after the platform had previously announced plans to establish a Bitcoin Treasury and allocate $20 million in BTC.
The platform’s BTC acquisition highlights its conviction in Bitcoin as a valuable tool for strategic planning while reinforcing the firm’s expansion in the crypto industry, according to the press release.
Rumble Expands Ties to the Crypto Industry
The company’s Chairman and CEO, Chris Pavlovski, said that the purchases and allocations of BTC as part of its treasury strategy are part of a wider strategic move to expand into the crypto industry.
He said that BTC holdings can serve as a valuable hedge against inflation and will not be subjected to dilution like many overprinted government-issued currencies.
Pavlovski highlighted that Rumble currently is a platform for the crypto community and it’s proud to hold BTC as it continues to grow and “engrain crypto” into the company’s DNA.
Potential for More Bitcoin Purchases
The official press release also stated that the timing and value of more BTC purchases will be determined by management and will depend on several factors including:
- General market and business conditions
- Bitcoin’s trading price
- Anticipated cash needs of Rumble
The company also stated that its BTC-related strategy can be modified, discontinued, or suspended at any time.
Rumble announced its Bitcoin Treasury Strategy in November 2024.
